You now have the chance to stay in an Airbnb pad that is located in the rafters of Conan O'Brien's studio set.
Yes, these rafters:
Airbnb is hosting a contest where one "lucky" winner and a guest can submit an entry to win the chance to sleep in the rafters of the TBS Conan set located on the Warner Brothers lot in Burbank on June 3 for free. The perks are pretty slim, though you get to watch the show while it's being taped, get interviewed by O'Brien, and get free parking! You also get a bed, which is nice.
This is the description of the space on the Airbnb site:
Are you a fan of rafters built in 1927? Do you admire the kind of craftsmanship that only existed for a brief moment between the two World Wars? Then this contest is for you. Look down from the very rafters that kept a watchful eye on the filming of such classics as Mildred Pierce, The Big Sleep, and The Karate Kid Part II. And if you’re a Conan fan, all the better. Look down from the very rafters that kept a watchful eye on the filming of such classics as episode #173, episode #445, and episode #637. But be prepared - Conan will talk to you during a real show. So viewers will see you that night on their TVs, and millennials will see you the next day on their infernal devices. Warning: Contestants who are allergic to wood or wood products should not enter this contest.
To enter, you'll just have to go to this website before 9:59 p.m. PT/11:59 p.m. CT on June 1, and tell them why you'd want to subject yourself to sleeping in the rafters for a night. Godspeed.
