Conan O’Brien shared a humorous and slightly embarrassing story about his colleague Tina Fey during a recent episode of his podcast “Conan O’Brien Needs A Friend,” aired on Monday. The former late-night talk show host recounted an amusing moment involving Fey’s husband, Jeff Richmond, while they were all at “Saturday Night Live.”
O’Brien reminisced about the time when Richmond donned a Cupid costume—complete with a diaper, glitter, and a bow and arrow—for one of O’Brien’s sketches. The image of Richmond awkwardly rehearsing in the costume caught Fey off guard, prompting her to exclaim, “That’s my husband, you f***er. What have you done to him?” O’Brien humorously recalled her shocked reaction as she passed a monitor during the sketch rehearsal.
The story served as a nostalgic nod to the early days of “Late Night with Conan O’Brien,” where Fey, who was a writer and performer on the show, was instrumental in creating memorable sketches. Later, when she appeared on the show in 2001, she shared her connection to Richmond, who had been a director at the renowned Second City comedy troupe in Chicago.
During the podcast, O’Brien also shared a clip of Richmond in the same Cupid costume, humorously detailing various venereal diseases, which Fey jokingly commented on, expressing their desire to have a child together someday.
This light-hearted exchange highlights the enduring friendship and camaraderie among these comedy giants, cultivating a sense of warmth and nostalgia for fans of late-night television.
This article not only encapsulates a humorous memory shared among friends but also shines a light on the interpersonal dynamics within the entertainment industry, showcasing the laughter and camaraderie that often accompanies the creative process.
