Conan O’Brien’s days as a late-night host are coming to an end as he departs “Conan.” As a result, O’Brien is looking for some life advice for the next chapter of his career, and he tapped for some life advice from actor-producer Seth Rogen.
“You seem like a guy who’s relaxed, centered like you know who you are,” O’Brien said. “I’m going to have a lot of free time on my hands now for a while. We’re going to start something else up, but I’m going to have some downtime, and honestly—I’m not even kidding—I don’t really know what to do with downtime.”
“I would suggest—this is going to be hilariously on-brand—try smoking a lot of weed for a long time,” Rogan said.
The late-night host then revealed that on the few instances when he has attempted smoking pot, “nothing really happened.” O’Brien wondered what Rogen would have him smoke, especially since he owns a weed company, Houseplant.
Rogen suggested that O’Brien begin slow, with one hit of the joint—which he took, before giving it back to Rogen and his co-host Andy Richter.
O’Brien took a hit of the joint on-air, which caught Rogen by surprise. “I’m so happy with what just happened,” Rogen said. “I wasn’t expecting any of this.”
