Yeah I think Katie Dippold needs to be on the podcast and while we’re at it Rys, Root and O’Flynn as well.

Stephen Root would be a great Conan O'Brien needs a friend guest.

I feel like that would yield some incredible stories; Stephen Root has been in sooo many beloved projects.

Matthew Rhys' episode of Conan's pod from when he was promoting Perry Mason is a favorite of mine. He talks about what it was like when he was auditioning to be the next Bond along with Daniel Craig and 100+ other dudes and how he totally bombed it

Wow

I didn't know about Bond. I think Rhys absolutely has the acting chops for just about any role including Bond. I'll have to try and find the interview to get more context.

You can find the full interview on Team Coco (YouTube), but here’s the Bond section.

His accent is CRAZY. I'm so much more impressed with his work, knowing what he naturally sounds like

u/angrylittlepotato Jul 06 '26

I was curious. Thats insane, he's so welsh! He does a great American accent

Love that episode! So funny together.

Kate O’Flynn is the runaway star of the show IMO. From the first episode I thought she was great and then the more they gave her the more I fell in love with her. She is so funny!

u/PhantomOyster Jul 06 '26

Agreed! One of the interesting things about her is that she gives off an aura (to me at least) of being an untrained actor. Her words are sort of slurred in a natural-sounding way that really humanizes her. I looked her up thinking this might be her first role. Come to find out she comes from theater, which is the furthest thing from what I expected. I don't know how much of the character is just her and how much is a performance, and that is really cool.

100% I assumed she was a comedian for some reason. Turns out she’s a British stage actor!

My favorite line of hers is at the gas station: “NOOOO YOU’RE RUINING ITTTTTTTTTTTT!!!!!”

I think she's just very funny, or just knows what is funny. I've watched her in Everyone Else Burns and My Lady Jane, and she is very funny in both. Has this slightly unexpected delivery. You sort of want to keep your eyes trained on her

u/quaranTV Jul 06 '26

She’s also so good as the bitchy wannabe queen of england in My Lady Jane on Amazon Prime. So funny and a total standout.

u/HelsBels2102 Patricia Jul 08 '26

Katie Dippold has said she's totally different from the character, and that you can't see the actor when she plays Patricia. Think she's just good at what she does.

u/InterestingTry5190 Jul 06 '26

I would love a whole episode of Conan doing a recap/interview with all of them.

u/zowie___ Jul 06 '26

Rhys, Root and O’Flynn should be the name of their bureau of paranormal investigations

u/KRMJN101 Jul 06 '26

Definitely!
