Actor Jeff Bridges isn't as chill as he may appear on screen, or in interviews. But he has tools for finding his "center" — seriously, just listen to his new, slightly-more-than-half-serious sleep album — and one of them is meditation. On Thursday night's Conan, he decided to lead Conan O'Brien, sidekick Andy Richter, the band, and the audience in a group "ommmm" session. Bridges said he will direct the endeavor — "like a 'Row, Row, Row Your Boat' of ommming," Richter said — and he did. Bridges was totally in the moment, the audience went back and forth between ommms and nervous laughter, and Conan.... well, he may not invite Bridges back on the show for a while. Watch. —Peter Weber
