Conan O’Brien is tall, which should translate into basketball skills. Sadly, that’s not the case.
Ouch.
As UPROXX points out, O’Brien is 6’4″, which makes him one of the taller late night talk show hosts. Jimmy Fallon is 6’0″. Jimmy Kimmel is 6’1″. David Letterman is 6’2″. Johnny Carson was 5’10”. While there aren’t any videos out there like this one of them playing basketball, it’s hard to imagine any of them are as bad at basketball as Conan.
While it wasn’t pickup like Conan played, Fallon does struggle to make easy baskets.
Conan tried and miserably failed to play pickup basketball in new York City. Honestly, it might’ve been the worst basketball performance by a celebrity on TV since Steve Carell played Michael Scott in The Office.
Okay maybe not as bad as Michael Scott, but Conan sure was close.
