Simply because his discuss present is over doesn’t imply that Conan O’Brien has needed to abandon all of his common segments. Whereas the Masturbating Bear is unlikely to make a return look any time quickly, Conan did simply make one other “Clueless Gamer” video.
“Clueless Gamer,” a staple of TBS’ Conan present, discovered novice online game person O’Brien routinely teaming up with enthusiastic gamer Aaron Bleyaert (and typically a star visitor) to check out well-known titles starting from Grand Theft Auto V, to Mario Kart 8, to the shitty E.T. Atari recreation that was buried in an unmarked mass grave in New Mexico.
Do not Miss
For the most recent installment, Conan and Bleyaert performed a director’s lower of Dying Stranding, made by famed online game creator Hideo Kojima. What units Dying Stranding aside from different video games which were featured on the present is that O’Brien is truly within the recreation. Again in 2019, Conan was invited to fulfill Kojima whereas he was visiting Tokyo, proper when Kojima Productions was ending work on the highly-anticipated Dying Stranding. The host then had his face scanned and digitized in order that he may have a cameo position in it.
Certain sufficient, O’Brien was within the recreation, enjoying a personality named the “Wandering MC.” He exhibits up as a hologram carrying an otter hat and principally performs a number of minutes of awkward monologue jokes.
Now Conan has lastly performed the sport, and was jokingly deflated to witness himself firing off lame dad jokes in a multimillion greenback online game. “I flew to Tokyo,” O’Brien deadpanned. “I took an 18 hour flight… I bombed. Why did they make me so unfunny and needy? I assumed they have been gonna make me a bit higher wanting.”
“I assumed it was correct,” Bleyaert responded.
“It was correct. I didn’t need correct,” O’Brien fired again.
Conan was enjoying up his disappointment for the cameras; he’s clearly seen his cameo earlier than. Though it’s doable that the expertise of encountering himself whereas truly enjoying via the sport was completely totally different.
On the finish of the “Clueless Gamer” video, Conan phoned Hideo Kojima, and requested if he may have a task in one other recreation: “Possibly the place I’m a bit extra of a hero? Not any individual who simply tells, type of otter jokes. Like a man who’s sort of the main focus of the sport. Type of a horny man?” (He additionally identified that this might result in his personal online game franchise, a TV collection and theme-park rides.)
Kojima responded that he would really like Conan to return again and go to their studio so he can scan him once more with “higher scanning know-how” for his new recreation, which presumably implies that Conan will seem in Dying Stranding 2. Though it’s unclear whether or not or not he’ll be enjoying the identical character or a digital beefcake like he requested.
Maybe as soon as they’ve scanned him once more, Conan can take a load off and let his CGI self host the Oscars subsequent March.
