After the primary season of Conan O’Brien Should Go had me rooting for extra of the previous late night time host’s new journey present, I used to be pleasantly stunned to see Season 2 on the 2025 TV schedule. Whereas the previous season allowed audiences resembling myself to binge watch it multi function viewing, this time round, the present is choosing weekly drops. Whereas I solely have one episode to speak about up to now, wow, did it begin with a bang – particularly concerning all of the pictures O’Brien determined to fireplace at Vin Diesel for some purpose.
In the course of the premiere episode, Conan O’Brien goes to Spain to satisfy up with some followers who known as into his podcast and Javier Bardem. He additionally decides to go to a dubbing studio to strive his hand on the career with a few of Spain’s large voiceover artists. At first he supplies some hilarious noises to a business, however then he strikes on to dubbing scenes from American film scenes.
He begins with doing Liam Neeson’s well-known scene from Taken earlier than deciding to do his tackle Vin Diesel’s Dominic Toretto from the Quick & Livid motion pictures. Whereas speaking about embodying the famed motion character, I can’t imagine the comic stated the next in regards to the actor. And sure, it is a actual quote:
There’s nothing in there. I’ve regarded in his eyes. It is like an empty warehouse. After which just a bit mouse skitters throughout the ground. And it sees me and runs again. They studied Vin Diesel. He is technically a desert cactus. He’s. He wants little or no water, just a bit gravel.
I imply, it’s all in good enjoyable, after all, however I do surprise how Vin Diesel would react if he noticed these feedback. Both Conan O’Brien cleared it with Diesel or he merely doesn’t care about insulting the actor. I assumed it was Diesel and Dwayne Johnson who had the meat (till they lately had a clumsy, however pleasant reunion on the Golden Globes). O’Brien additionally stated this through the episode:
He was bought on a roadside by a producer who was gonna put him in his kitchen after which stated, ‘No, he’d be good in these Quick & Livid motion pictures if we are able to make 35 of them they usually worsen as they go.’
Following Conan O’Brien’s Oscars internet hosting gig the place he went viral for mocking Drake, I assume I shouldn’t be as shocked as I’m, however my goodness! He definitely didn’t maintain again when discussing the film star and the Quick & Livid franchise, which has pumped out ten motion pictures and the spinoff Hobbs & Shaw throughout over a decade, and is about to proceed in 2026 with Quick X, Half 2. After all, O’Brien wouldn’t be the primary or final particular person to poke enjoyable on the actor and his famed franchise, and it offers the actor an opportunity to be humbled by his world fame.
I do surprise if there will probably be any commentary in response from the Quick & Livid star after these feedback. Anyway, this Conan O’Brien Should Go episode is hilarious general, and you may test it out now on Max.
