Conan O'Brien on meeting Pope Francis at the Vatican!

"He probably said I hate you Conan O'Brien." - I chatted to Conan O'Brien just after he met Pope Francis at the Vatican in Rome. Conan was part of a group of comedians who had a private audience with the Pope. Other comedians included Chris Rock, Stephen Colbert and Jimmy Fallon.

Conan clearly spent approximately 1 minute in direct sunlight right before this 😂

[@falsemcnuggethope]

I think it's just from the sun that shines through the window during the interview.

Conan is such a down to earth guy. He can sit and chat with anyone and as much as his shows build him up to this comedic demigod, when he's back to reality, he's such a good dude. I'll just reiterate, when the writers strike was going on, he was paying his staff out of his own pocket. Hell of a man.
