#12: Conan O’Brien Didn’t Believe in Wayne’s World
Here’s a fun fact that might surprise you! Conan O’Brien, the charismatic and quick-witted talk show host, was once a key player behind the scenes. He lent his comedic genius to the legendary sketch show Saturday Night Live from 1988 to 1991. That’s right. Before he made us laugh from behind the desk, he was crafting hilarity in the writer’s room of SNL!
Believe it or not, the phenomenal success of “Wayne’s World” almost never happened! According to digital media insiders, when Mike Myers first pitched his hilarious sketch idea, Conan was not impressed, doubting it would tickle anyone’s funny bone. How wrong he was! The sketch skyrocketed in popularity and achieved the ultimate comedy accolade – its very own blockbuster movie!
