A YouTube video that was released last Wednesday finally got the traction is set out to do. You see Gary Keating (a 20 year old college student) is publicly questioning if the infamous late night talk show host is his father.
Keating points to “evidence” being that his mother worked in television in the same building as Conan in 1993 when Late Night with Conan O’Brien first aired (the same time she became pregnant). He also points out that he looks nothing like his father (watch the video and you’ll agree).
Now while there is a resemblance to O’Brien many similarities are up-played by Keating performing some of the moves Conan is well known for. At first I thought yes there’s a resemblance but really he doesn’t look THAT much like my late night pal Conan…. then I remembered what he actually looked like when he first got in Late Night. Take a look at Keating’s video below and then take a look at the archived clip I found of early Conan days. Hmmmm….
In any scenario I personally hope Conan isn’t the father as I think the in-kind response could be hilarious.
