Conan O’Brien wrapped up his San Diego Comic Con shows yesterday with the cast of X-Men: Apocalypse. The TBS late night host found out that they play violent games on the set and he wanted to know more about it. They then went into detail about these games and how they had to the calm them down in the sequel because they got too violent in the first one. Even though they were told to take it easy, they found ways around it. In fact, they created a new game where they get drunk and slap each other. As they were describing it, Olivia Munn, who was sitting next to Conan, raised her hand to slap him. When he saw her hand raised, he told her she could do it and she did. Then he told her, “That was the best and the worst thing that ever happened to me.” I guess you can say that Comic Con was a real slap in the face to Conan. Good thing he will be back next year to top that. Although how can you?
George RR Martin is so busy working on the next Game of Thrones book, that he couldn’t attend San Diego Comic Con with cast when they appeared on Conan yesterday. The TBS late night host wanted to see just how busy he is, so he hacked into the author’s security system and recorded him hard at work. Only problem is, he was doing anything but working.
Even though a lot of people will be disappointed by this reveal, I say he earned the break.
BTW here is the cast taking part in an awkward Conga line with Conan O’Brien.
We all know that Jennifer Lawrence has a dirty mouth and Conan O’Brien found a way to use it for good. The TBS late night host took out a swear jar and offered to put in a $100 bill every time she swore in :30 seconds and donate the money to charity. Then he said whatever was in the jar, he would double it.
The Hunger Games star was hungry to help her charity, so off she went. All we heard was bleep, bleep and bleep and her charity saw a lot of dinero. Too bad we could only hear the sh!ts because it sounds like we could’ve learned a thing or two by Conan’s face.
Believe it or not, she didn’t only curse on the show, she sang Cher’s Believe. If you watch the video on Chrome, you will get a really cool experience.
Before you hit play, mark your calendars because tonight at 11p Conan will be interviewing the casts of The Walking Dead and Game of Thrones from San Diego Comic-Con. Tomorrow he will interview a special cast to be announced, but they won’t reveal who it is. I am betting is Batman vs Superman, but maybe it will be another hit movie franchise’s cast or one that belongs to a popular TV show.
Conan O’Brien is the first late night host to do his show from San Diego Comic-Con, and Chris Hardwick thought that he should take a Comic-Con Citizenship test. Basically, he asked him questions that only someone at the convention could answer. The @Midnight man asked him “If Caitlyn Jenner were a Superhero, what team would she be on?” The TBS host said, “The X-Men!” Then Hardwick asked, “Cosplay is not?” To which the TBS host said, “Drinks with Bill Cosby?” These are just two of the examples from the test, and the last one was a tough one for O’Brien. Nerdist asked, “What would you do if Seth Green suddenly attacked you with a toy lightsaber?” Conan was perplexed by that one because the little ginger wasn’t on the show. That is until he was and he had a lightsaber in his hand. Don’t worry the force is with Conan and they battled it out. Who won? You just have to watch it to find out.
And talking about The X-Men, as we know Hugh Jackman will not be playing Wolverine after the next movie, and Conan got his hands on the people that are auditioning for the role. They are people like Nick Offerman, Kristen Schaal, Patton Oswalt, Larry King and Betty White. The Golden Girl nailed the audition. So much so I hope she gets the part!
Finally tonight at 11p on TBS, Conan will have the cast of The Hunger Games, Jennifer Lawrence, Josh Hutcherson and Liam Hemsworth.
Conan O’Brien was photographed in a bus booth waiting for a bus, so has the TBS late night host hit rough times? Nope, as you can see there is a big advertisement behind him to promote the fact that his show is taping from San Diego Comic-Con this week starting on Wednesday.
BTW the person on his right will be his first guest on Wednesday. That is what Elijah Woods looks like these days, right?
