Conan O’Brien finds Roll Tide while traveling through Jerusalem
“He was so funny. He asked me what my wife said when I told her I wanted to open a football store. I told him she said, ‘If you’ll make money, go for it,’” Imam said. “He went to Harvard, so he was giving me a hard time about going to Alabama. I told him Harvard did not have a good football team, but we do at Alabama and we keep on winning.”
Imam said there were many people with O’Brien who filled his small shop, asking him questions and telling him he could not take pictures.
“He came into the store and couldn’t believe it. He kept looking at all the Roll Tide stuff,” Imam said. “He was happy and excited. He’s very smart and quick with a joke. We kept talking back and forth. He would give me a hard time about Alabama, and I would about Harvard.
