Conan O’Brien, the charismatic host of the popular talk show “Conan O’Brien Needs A Friend,” is no stranger to entertaining his audience with hilarious segments and witty banter. In a recent episode, Conan took the opportunity to roast his talent coordinator, Maddie Ogden, over her choice of snacks in the show’s celebrity welcome basket.
Known for running a tight ship, Conan expressed his disappointment with the “abomination” that the snack basket had become. Gone were the days of chocolate-covered pretzels and raisinets, replaced by aggressively healthy eco snacks that no one seemed to be enjoying. Conan humorously compared the situation to being on a sinking ghost ship, with severed cables and disappointed guests.
Conan called Maddie into the studio to address the issue. Maddie explained that she had noticed people in the office eating from the snack basket even before the guests arrived. Worried about the presentation, Maddie sometimes had to scramble to put together a presentable snack basket. However, Conan pointed out that celebrities like Woody Harrelson and Harrison Ford wouldn’t be interested in some of the snacks, such as toasted seaweed snacks or mushroom jerky. He even joked that these unusual snacks might have contributed to A-listers dropping out of the show.
As the discussion continued, Maddie defended her snack choices, citing health-consciousness and people’s preference for healthy snacks. However, Conan insisted that people wanted indulgent treats like Doritos and Oreos. He expressed his frustration with snacks like macadamia nuts and mints, suggesting that the snack basket should be tailored to the guests’ preferences, not Maddie’s personal tastes.
Conan also shared his own preference for protein bars, but emphasized that his tastes were not representative of the guests. He suggested involving his assistant, David Hopping, or his brother, Neil, for snack recommendations that would appeal to a wider audience.
In the end, Conan proposed a solution of having two baskets – one “naughty” basket filled with indulgent snacks and another “nice” basket with healthier options. This way, guests can choose based on their own preferences.
While the debate about snack choices was lighthearted and filled with laughs, it shed light on a recurring issue behind the scenes. Ultimately, both Conan and Maddie acknowledged the importance of creating a positive and enjoyable experience for the show’s guests.
