James "Bobo" Fay Asked to do Conan O'Brien Show

James Fay is one of the co-host for Finding Bigfoot and is commonly, if not almost exclusively, known to the world as “Bobo.” The origins of that name are shrouded in mystery, as is much of Bobo's life, but it seems to have been born from a variation of the name, “Jimbo,” derived from the nick name “Jim.” Whatever the genesis, Bobo is his functional moniker today.

Bobo was born and raised in Manhattan Beach, CA, and has been interested in the bigfoot mystery for as long as he can remember. As a teen, he became interested in big-wave surfing, and this would take him to the best surf spots up and down the entire West Coast. Soon, he would take surf trips to bigfoot habitat in order to get a chance to maybe see a bigfoot from the beach.

On Bobo's facebook page he announced he was asked to do the Conan O'Brien show.

"just got axed if me and moneymaker want to do conan o'brien show. whats the over/under on how many words i'd be able to get in sittin next to moneymaker for a 6 min interview? i'm going with 18.

thanks for the congrats and advice everybody. i told people next tues but i just found out tuesday is preinterview w/producer. i've been rocking at pipe and i don't get reception here so i haven't heard the message yet about exact date."

Conan is no stranger to Bigfoot. In fact he discussed Bigfoot with Steven Colbert once.



In a transcript of Stephen Colbert, interviewed by Conan O'Brien, on "Late Night with Conan O'Brien," Colbert talks about several Bigfoot pieces he did as a correspondent for "Daily Show." The interview was taped June 27, 2003

CO'B: ...Let's talk about "The Daily Show". On "The Daily Show" you are well-known for going out and getting these amazing interviews with strange characters from across America, and you've interviewed people that actually believe Bigfoot exists, are convinced that Bigfoot exists.

SC: Yeah, I've interviewed a lot of, uh, some of the biggest Bigfoot experts in the United States. Um, I've interviewed the people who believe that Bigfoot is endangered. I've interviewed the people who believe that Bigfoot, um, uh, that the Bigfeet, as they call them, are overpopulating and that they're destroying their environment...

CO'B: How does that become a...

SC: There's not a lot of consensus in the Bigfoot expert community.

CO'B: There's a lot of squabbling, yeah. But how could someone think that there's too many Bigfoots running around when noone actually has proof that they exist? How can someone make that argument?

SC: Um, I think a fair amount of Bigoot experts are, um, early-morning drinkers.

CO'B: Okay.

SC: I met somebody in Florida who believed that Bigfoot was in Florida, as opposed to the Pacific Northwest, and that Bigfoot was stealing his pot of lentil soup... that he would make... and this man greeted me at 10:00am stone drunk, shoeless, shirtless, wearing two albino Burmese pythons.

CO'B: And these are the people you're going to for credible scientific information on Bigfoot.

SC: Aaaaah, yeah, those are my experts.

CO'B: Very nice. I like the Stone Phillips way that you said that too. You just, uh, yeah...

SC: [imitating Stone Phillips, once again] They... are my experts.

CO'B: Very nice. You could hurt yourself with that.

SC: I think that's how he got the big neck.

After Scary Bigfoot Encounter Man Invents Fire Ball Gun

On the range with a practice bigfoot.

Fireball Inventor Jim Lebus who is also a self-described survivalist

"3 second delay?...Do you know how much ground a sasquatch can cover in 3 seconds?!" --Garrett Lisi, co-host of Invention USA, reacting to the time delay of fireball gun

A new TV Show on the History Channel called Invention USA follows Reichart Von Wolfsheild and Garrett Lisi as they go in search of the next breakthrough invention. Reichart and Garrett put prototypes to the test and give a tough, no-nonsense evaluation of each invention's potential.

Garrett Lisi and Reichart Von Wolfsheild co-hosts of Invention USA

In the premier episode they are contacted by Jim Lebus who invented a fireball Gun, more specifically incendiary paintballs, to protect himself after an encounter he describes below.

"Its a deterrent for a situation out in the woods. A couple of years ago I was in northern California... I was attacked by an animal and I was in my tent. I see this shadow go past the moon. So this tells me this thing is, like, 8 feet tall. And whatever it was, was pushing me into the ground...I'm assuming it was a Bigfoot. I had a .38 with me, but you can't just start popping off rounds. If you gonna cap Bigfoot your just gonna piss it off"

Of course, the first question he was asked by the hosts was a shot to his credibility. Jim was questioned if he was drinking that night, he quickly replied, "No, I was stone sober."

He also was asked if he had ruled out a bear, and Jim said he had not, "...but the only thing it took was the spices."

Below is a video Jim has uploaded to YouTube.

Theologian Converted After Watching Finding Bigfoot

Jesus Meets Bigfoot is an original oil painting on raised canvas by Jeremiah Palecek.

"Now I'm sure there are many Christians who also believe in Bigfoot. After all, if you're going to go with Jesus, it doesn't seem like such a stretch to believe in Bigfoot." -- Jim Wright for The Richmond Times Dispatch

In their Faith and Values column The Richmond Times Dispatch has an article written by Jim Wright, a master of arts in theological studies graduate from Union Presbyterian Seminary. Mr. Wright compares Jesus to Bigfoot and even gives Bigfoot the hypothetical role of a savior if you are lost in the woods.

Faith and Values: Seeking encounters with Jesus, not Bigfoot
By: Jim Wright
Published: December 10, 2011

It's not too often that a budding semi-pro theologian like me gets to talk about Jesus and Bigfoot in the same column, so I'm really psyched about this one.

Now ordinarily, I wouldn't think too much about Bigfoot, but then I watched "Finding Bigfoot" on Animal Planet the other day. Here were folks from the BFRO (Bigfoot Field Research Organization): sincere, well-spoken people, congregating for regular meetings centered on a being with supernatural powers. They are so affected by this being that they devote their whole lives in the pursuit of a personal encounter with him.

Believers can be found on every continent. And they seemed totally sane — until they started talking.

Bigfoot, Sasquatch — or just plain 'Squatch, as they say — likes to build shelters made out of pine branches. Squatch likes to throw rocks and bang sticks together. "Squatch digs chicks," we were told. "Squatch digs chicks"? How interesting. How interesting, and how very, very crazy it all sounds.

As I was thinking about this — and again, Bigfoot is something I rarely think about — it struck me that I know another group of people: sincere and well-spoken, gathered around the belief in a being that is both supernatural and natural — both God and human. And these people seem totally sane as well — until they start talking.

Jesus, they say, through his life and death, did something that saved us — that opened up a huge new possibility: of leaving behind what we were and becoming what we thought we never could be, reconciled to a God from which we were estranged. Jesus, they say, adopted us into God's family, welcoming us into a home that is greater than the sum of all the warmth and security and light and wholeness for which we long most deeply. All of this through the actions of an eternally alive, homeless Jewish God-man. How interesting. How interesting, and how very, very crazy it all sounds.

Now I'm sure there are many Christians who also believe in Bigfoot. After all, if you're going to go with Jesus, it doesn't seem like such a stretch to believe in Bigfoot. I suppose I could consider joining the BFRO as well, but I have some stringent demands from my supernatural beings, and if I'm going to take that leap of faith, they've got to measure up.

So here are my requirements: I'm a firm believer that humans, for all their natural goodness, have a tendency to lose their way. And as a result of this tendency, the human race is sorely in need of a redeemer, someone to find humans in the middle of their darkness and bring them into the light.

So here's a hypothetical (stick with me here; we're talking about Bigfoot, after all): Let's say I'm on a hunting trip in some great northern forest — thousands of miles away from the nearest light bulb — and I'm lost. Hopelessly lost. It's dark and cold, my map is outdated, my compass seems to point south no matter where I turn. It's getting colder, and I'm not sure I'm going to make it through the night.

And just at my darkest hour — Bigfoot appears. He gives off this incredible warmth; he's kind, confident in the place where I feel lost. He leads me out of that great dark forest, back home. And that's not all — he leads everyone else out of the forest as well (because there are a lot of us out here) — the ones who thought cold and darkness were their lot, the ones who hated the light, who hated Bigfoot, even. He has to save them as well.

Now that's a Squatch I could believe in.

But then I'm not a dues-paying member of the BFRO, and it's not because I'm not willing to sound crazy or to believe the unbelievable. It's just that when it comes down to it, if I'm going to have a mythical, supernatural being in my life, I need to encounter that being on a regular basis, to be pursued and found by that creature on a regular basis. I'm prone to wander, after all.

Supernatural creature? Make mine Jesus.
