WATCH: Lea DeLaria Sings David Bowie's 'Fame' with Conan O'Brien

Scroll To Top

It's safe to say that Orange Is the New Black's Lea DeLaria is a triple threat -- actress, comedian, and crooner! She not only flexed her vocal chops when she appeared on Conan O'Brien's show, but she also proved her superior taste, discussing her love for David Bowie and singing his hit "Fame," which she recorded for her Bowie tribute album "House of David."

Beyond that she even taught Conan the bass line for the song in order to sing the melody over it. Maybe she should add 'pedagogue' to her résumé as well. Here are Lea and Conan performing 'Fame."
