During Hollywood’s grandest event, late-night talk show host Conan O’Brien allowed Los Angeles firefighters to share some witty remarks, taking turns on the stage.
At the Dolby Theater in Los Angeles, O’Brien spoke to an assembly of A-list celebrities, saying, “I realize it might be hard for you to accept this, but there are some jokes I’m not daring enough to make myself.” To add a touch of courage, he called upon several first responders who had fought the destructive Palisades and Eaton wildfires this year. He asked them to read aloud what was displayed on the teleprompter for him.
Initially, O’Brien addressed the crowd again, saying, “Take note – every person here is to find amusement; they are all heroes!
Los Angeles Fire Department Captain Erik Scott commenced by making an intriguing statement: “Our sympathies are extended to those who have suffered property loss,” he remarked. “More specifically, I’m referring to the creators of ‘Joker 2’.
It’s amusing because the movie “Joker: Folie à Deux” turned out to be a significant flop in 2024, despite being a Warner Bros. comic book sequel. The film, which had a production cost of $200 million and an additional $100 million for marketing and distribution, failed to make an impression at the box office, earning only $206 million worldwide. Given that it was expected to lose between $150 million and $200 million for the studio during its theatrical release, it’s clear that its investors suffered a considerable financial loss.
Even O’Brien couldn’t help but be impressed by the clever joke. “Wow,” the entertainer quipped, “that had to be the best performance of the evening.
LA Fire Department pilot Jonas Johnson was up next, setting his sights on “A Complete Unknown,” a movie musical that delves into the early years of Bob Dylan’s life.
Johnson mentioned that to portray Bob Dylan, Timothée Chalamet mastered singing. Remarkably, his singing skills were impressive enough that it nearly cost him the role.
Timothée Chalamet, who was nominated for an Oscar for his role as the “Like a Rolling Stone” composer and is famously adored for his songwriting abilities rather than his vocals, cheerfully responded to the jest.
In their recent exchange, Captain Jodi Slicker playfully joked about O’Brien, saying, “It’s nice to be reunited with Conan again.” Typically, she added, when Conan calls, it’s because he’s stuck in a tree.
O’Brien shot back: “It’s happened twice!”
Meanwhile, during the 97th Academy Awards, however, O’Brien didn’t mince words when he criticized Karla Sofía Gascón, whose inflammatory social media posts stirred up a storm of controversy, and also addressed Drake’s long-standing feud with Kendrick Lamar.
The original sentence has been rephrased to clarify that O’Brien was critical of Gascón’s controversial social media posts and brought up the ongoing feud between Drake and Kendrick Lamar during the 97th Academy Awards.)
Did you know this interesting tidbit? ‘Anora’ employs the F-word a whopping 479 times, surpassing the record set by Karla Sofía Gascón’s publicist by three instances. In his monologue, O’Brien made this revelation. Later on in the show, he joked: “We’ve reached the halfway point, which means it’s about time for Kendrick Lamar to take the stage and accuse Drake of being a pedophile. Don’t fret, I’ve got my lawyer standing by.
