You might spot late night television star Conan O’Brien in downtown Seattle this week.

He’s in town, likely visiting his wife’s family for the holidays. O’Brien took a minute to offer a little commentary on the ferry terminal.

Washington State Ferries later responded: “No need to be sad. He was just patiently waiting for Rudolph to finish his business.”

O’Brien and his wife, Liza Powel, were married at St. James Cathedral in Seattle on Jan. 12, 2002.
