The American late-night show icon is in Manila to film his show and do some side quests.
In a post on Facebook, award-winning Kapuso leading man Dennis Trillo and the Ultimate Star Jennylyn Mercado shared some behind-the-scene snaps from the series ‘Sanggang-Dikit FR.’
It was not just about any other day in the series, as the set was graced by the presence of American comedian and late-night icon Conan O’Brien.
The 62-year-old, who is in Manila to film his travel series, did not only pay a visit, but made a cameo appearance in the top-rating action drama series.
“Hindi po AI ito, totoong nakasama namin siya! Taping day w/ Conan the Bar Brien,” Trillo wrote in the caption of the said post.
Meanwhile, over at his own Instagram account, Comedy Genius Michael V also had a special gift from O’Brien.
The American personality filmed a message dedicated to the TV host-comedian and the Philippines’ longest-running sketch comedy program ‘Bubble Gang.’
“Hey, Michael V., Conan O’Brien [here], Bitoy! I want to say congratulations- 30 years! To have a show, I don’t care where you live in the world that’s an amazing record. You are a very talented person, I wish you the best. Congratulations,” expressed O’Brien.
In response, the Comedy Genius was thrilled and described it as an “epic moment.”
“OMG! This EPIC video greet completes BBL GANG’s 30th Anniversary! Thank you so much Conan O’Brien for this! It’s ABUNDANT! That means ‘a lot’!”, wrote Bitoy.
The comedy icon is in the country for his ‘Conan O’Brien Must Go’ travel documentary series, which showcases his adventures as he roams around the world to visit fans that he previously interacted with in his ‘Conan O’Brien Needs a Fan’ podcast.
The 62-year-old is best known for his work in several long-running TV shows, such as his writing job in ‘Saturday Night Live’ in the late ’80s and in the earlier years of the longest-running animated sitcom, ‘The Simpsons.’
In addition to those, he also fronted NBC’s ‘Late Night’ franchise for 16 years, from 1993 to 2009, before he moved on to host ‘The Tonight Show’ for a controversial one season from 2009 to 2010.
After departing the Peacock, he moved on to basic cable channel TBS for his eponymous talk show ‘Conan,’ which ran for 11 years.
