Witness the disinterested, aimless might of King Korgi and Dogzilla in a cut Conan sketch
Despite numerous changes in networks and format over the years, Conan O’Brien and his writers have always remained admirably committed to bringing the most ridiculous sketch premises to life. From the Cactus Chef and FedEx Pope to the Masturbating Bear and Preparation H Raymond, the late night show has never met an absurd idea—and dumb costume—it doesn’t like.
With so many characters introduced, though, not all of them can be winners. Sometimes, even with great costumes and set designs to back up the concept, Conan might dress up two dogs in monster costumes to wreck a model city only for them to wander aimlessly around, eating kibble and refusing to sell the bit.
Inspired by the recent release of Godzilla: King Of The Monsters and its potential to bring about a new match-up between the giant lizard and his big monkey pal King Kong, O’Brien wanted to get his very own versions of the terrifying beasts—King Korgie and Dogzilla—to annihilate a small-scale replica of San Diego as part of the show’s stint at this year’s Comic-Con.
