Tom Jones has a hilariously awkward Elvis Presley story

Tom Jones shares a crazy story about Elvis Presley — (Image credit: Conan)

On late-night TV, the host often sets up a guest with a question to prompt a story the guest wants to tell. That certainly seemed to be the case on Tuesday night when Conan O'Brien asked Tom Jones about that time Elvis Presley tried to get Jones to record a song. Conan looked kind of bored until Jones got to the part about Elvis sticking his head over the side of the shower stall while Jones was bathing, and the story only got stranger and more, um, intimate from there. Conan is calling this tale proof of a Tom Jones-Elvis Presley "bromance," but it seems it's more about Elvis showing that he was, in fact, the King. And if you're wondering what song it was Elvis got so excited about, you'll apparently have to wait until TBS posts the full episode online. Peter Weber
