Conan O’Brien, the renowned talk show host, never fails to keep his audience entertained with his witty banter and humorous interviews. Recently, Conan had Justin Theroux as a guest on his show, and their conversation took an unexpected turn.
During the interview, Conan couldn’t contain his curiosity about a particular aspect of Theroux’s hit show, “The Leftovers.” The talk show host revealed that many women on his staff had approached him, insisting that he ask Theroux about something they referred to as his “package.”
Brimming with amusement and a little embarrassment, Conan broached the topic delicately, mentioning a jogging scene in the show where Theroux’s “package” was apparently quite apparent. Theroux, trying to find the right words, acknowledged that he was unaware that this was a topic of conversation. He revealed that for the jogging scenes, he was asked to wear not one but two pairs of underwear to ensure that everything stayed in place. The actor chuckled, accepting Conan’s congratulations on his unique wardrobe requirement.
Although the conversation took a lighthearted turn, Justin Theroux and Conan O’Brien also discussed the hit show “The Leftovers” itself. Theroux praised the series, calling it captivating and likening it to another famous show, “Lost.” He admitted that he only watched a few episodes of “Lost” before working with Damon Lindelof, one of the creators of “The Leftovers.” The actor had initially planned to binge-watch the entire series but soon realized there were over 200 episodes. Needless to say, that would have been quite the commitment!
Theroux also shared his excitement about not knowing what would happen in the show. He preferred to experience the story as it unfolded, just like the viewers. Damon Lindelof, who’s known for his intricate storytelling, had offered Theroux the option of knowing the future plotlines, but the actor declined, wanting to be surprised alongside the audience.
