Although it has been less than two weeks since Conan O’Brien made its Oscars that host debutThe famous self -deprecating comedian is already discussing how things could have gone differently. During a new recording of his podcast “Conan O’Brien needs a friend” with Oscar Chief author Mike Sweeney, the earlier values on late nights went in detail about attempted jokes that were cut down by the members of the academy. For a promo involving O’Brien “fighting for things that couples are fighting”, but with the Gold Oscars statue he was immediately told that he could not lie the statue on its side.
“One of the people from the academy came forward and said,“ Oscar can never be horizontal. “And it blew my mind,” said O’Brien. “Like, wow, this is like the femur from St. Peter. This is a religious icon. ”
For the actual show, O’Brien wanted to take more inspiration from Billy Crystal’s year worthy by getting into a bunch of nominated films. He could do it with “The subject” at the top of the show, but plans to do more must be cut away,
“That was the idea that ‘Oh, Conans will now go on all movies,'” said O’Brien. “It starts with me and I’m in ‘Evil’ And I’m all green and stop “defy gravity” or one of these songs. And I finish it and then you cut to the next thing, which is ‘Gladiator II’ and ‘Clang, Clang, Clang’ with sword and you see that I am a gladiator but then you notice that I am still green. And then you continue to “Conclave” and you see that people vote with their polls and one of their hands is still green. “
Eventually, O’Brien would end up in “Dune: Part II”, where Javier Bardem would note that he was green and how he should have shot “wicked” last instead of first.
“It all was that the dye would not get off and we had to shoot it one day,” O’Brien said.
They had also planned to present characters such as Count Orlok from “Nosferatu” ridicule him for his appearance. Unfortunately, after Southern California’s fire fires took place in January, Academy insisted on starting the show with a “Wizard of Oz” musical tribute led by Cynthia Erivo and Ariana Grande.
