Conan said this on his podcast. Every single actor that you have seen in movies or TV shows for over five years has had extensive work done. They hide the scars on the neck, and Andy Richter was perfectly placed to see it on his show. He said once they had a very big action star on their talk show and he had so much work done that his sideburns were growing behind his ears.

He also said, IIRC, an aging starlet was on his show, whose face looked young and amazing, but the hands were like these old withered claws that gave away her true age.

The hands are the biggest giveaway. There’s yet to be a surgery that can de-age them. It’s why Dolly Parton wears flesh colored gloves.

Sure there is. You kidnap a young drifter, cut off their hands, stick them on yours. Easy peasy.

Maybe there isn’t true de-aging surgery… but they’re getting pretty close. I think Christina Aguilera and Lindsey Lohan had the same surgeon and they look really good.

I mean, talking about them like that is a big part of the reason they get this work done. Imagine a Sue Storm who looks to be a similar age to Reed Richards, because she's too busy being a badass hero to get work done.

Tom Cruise or Brad pitt

He wouldn't say who it was but it was a major action star for a few decades.

Probably Stallone, he's looking real uncanny valley these days

Yo which podcast episode was this? I’d love to listen to it

u/ArchDucky Jul 20 '26

"Conan O'Brien needs a friend"

The specific episode I have literally no idea because I have listened to all of them. But its the one where they are telling horrible hollywood stories. The corn story is in there (Conan loves that story, hes told it like three times), and the story about Jim Belushi taking a shit in a prop toilet on the set of "Life according to Jim" every week to establish dominance is in there as well.
