Conan O’Brien is revealing more details about his recent visit to meet the Pope, including the interesting music choice of one of his fellow comedians.
On a new episode of his podcast Conan O’Brien Needs A Friend, O’Brien said that as he and others took in the monumental moment where they were going to meet the “leader of this very massive church all over the world,” he noticed that Chris Rock was wearing ear buds. “I hope he doesn’t get mad at me for saying this,” O’Brien began the story, “but I thought it was just a very cool moment.”
“We’re in this beautiful, like, gorgeous space,” with these “gorgeous murals,” he said, painting the picture of what went down. “Everyone’s wearing these elaborate costumes and we’ve just had this—we’re meeting this man who’s the leader of this very massive church all over the world, and you're thinking about all the significance of it. We’re all sitting there and Chris Rock is sitting right in front of me and I noticed that he has these little earbuds in, and I’m like, he’s listening to something.”
