Conan O'Brien Auditions as Bollywood Star in HBO Max Show Promo with Richa Chadha and Ali FazalPreviousNext

American comedian Conan O'Brien appeared in a promo for his HBO Max show "Conan O'Brien Must Go," where he expressed a desire to become a Bollywood star. Indian actors Richa Chadha and Ali Fazal playfully challenged his claim, noting he lacks Hindi language skills and Bollywood credentials. Conan responded by singing a humorous Hindi song, leaving them momentarily speechless. The promo highlights Conan's comedic style and his exploration of Indian culture in the show's upcoming season.
