The world feels grim. So if you need a pick-me-up, do what I do: watch Christopher Walken's @ConanOBrien appearances. Here he is in 2000 talking about the cooking show he wants to do in his kitchen on the internet and also it's an advice show and a psychic hotline and one-liners.

Christopher Walken wants to star in a zombie movie where he plays someone who doesn't know his best friend is a zombie, but then when they're arguing over "the TV beeper" he realizes it.

Christopher Walken worked in his parents' bakery in Astoria growing up. He filled the jelly donuts.

"I used to fill the jelly donuts."

If you were an actor, would you want to have a tail? A bushy one? To help you express emotion without speaking? Christopher Walken would.

Here is Christopher Walken telling a joke as he would on his cooking show.

I don't know who needs to hear this right now, but Walken says do what you want, don't worry, have a nectarine.

I have great news! #CookingWithWalken

Who do I have to befriend to get this Walken chicken?

If you're like Christopher Walken, you don't trust punctuation.

"It's not for me."

Walken's recipe for chicken with pears, part 1:

Cut fat from chicken base
Fold skin flap and secure with toothpicks
Coat chicken with salt
Place in aluminum dish
Pepper on top
Cook chicken and pears together, 1 hour, 400 degrees

Walken's recipe for chicken with pears, part 2:

Cut bottoms off pears
Set the bottoms in the aluminum dish next to the chicken
Set pear tops on the bottoms ("caps") to prevent sticking
Pears are candied
The "caps" are like cookies ("very tasty")

Add the great @rosariodawson to the growing list of people who want to see #CookingWithWalken. How can we make this happen? @ConanOBrien, any ideas?

The excellent @WhitfordBradley is in for #CookingWithWalken too. @CookingChannel, @netflix, @hulu, @amazon, @funnyordie, who's stepping up?

So #CookingWithWalken also happened with @LidiaBastianich. We definitely need more. H/T @quick13.

The world feels grim. So if you need a pick-me-up, do what WALKEN does: lie to your coworkers that it's your birthday. Start in the morning by looking sad. Someone will ask what's wrong. Say it's your birthday and that you're alone. But remember: it only works once.

If you're still feeling blue, watch Walken dance. He was trained as a youth in tap dancing, resulting in his famous above-the-waist moves. You can even stand up while you watch and dance with him. I bet he would like to know that you're dancing.

the weekend dims. work lies ahead.

so stand.

and sing.

and dance with Chris.

Thanks to everyone for basking in the glory of Christopher Walken, especially when hanging with @ConanOBrien. Enjoy your week everybody!
