Conan & Jack Black Guitar-Off: Host Curses On Air Before Epic Guitar Battle (VIDEO)

Wednesday night's "Conan" saw some serious action when guest Jack Black got his 15 minutes.

Black, who's been making the late night rounds promoting his new "Gulliver's Travels" movie, spent the first portion of the interview talking about his adorable parenting skills and new-found appreciation for bluegrass. But things ended quite differently after Black and Conan O'Brien challenged each other to a guitar-off to see who really rocks the hardest.

Things get tense at about 7:00 in when Black questions Conan, who spent the summer on tour with his band across the U.S., on his rock-ability. After Black refers to his guitar playing as a hobby, Conan responds that he knows his band could rock harder than Black's band Tenacious D. As Black cannot believe what was just said, Conan says uncensored:

"Did bullsh*t just crawl out of your ears?"

Conan's expletive got a riotous roar from the audience and most likely the people at home who aren't yet used to hearing Conan on cable after 10:00 p.m. Black was also pretty affected, and things almost got physical before Andy Richter suggested a guitar battle.

Check out the clip below to see the battle and a surprise twist at the end. You have to see what ensues when these two rock-loving funny men decide to face off.

"You are issuing a clear invitation to the dance."

Whoa. That was one obscure reference.

The dude straight quoted Brad Dourif from Exorcist III.

I envy Blacks son. Pillow fights with his dad, with a fantasy story to boot. How much better the world if all kids had such games with dads.

I don't find Jack Black funny. Although, I can understand how a four year old would find him hilarious.

When it comes to understanding the mentality of a four year old I would like to yield the remainer of my time to my esteemed colleague ChuckerS.

Oh, gee, look, one of the cliche'd "I don't find this (or this person) funny" comment which is intended to make the commenter look "cool" and "above it", but actually reveals that the commenter HAS NO SENSE OF HUMOR.

He is funnier on talk shows but he hasn't done a decent movie since High Fidelity. Still cool tho :)

I find it funny that it really bothers you that I stated that I do not find Jack Black to be funny. I also find it funny that you think that I cannot think independently when you do not know me. My sole motive for my statement is it is what I believe to be true.
