'They Are The Community!': Conan O'Brien Gets Emotional Defending Immigrants In LA
HuffPost
The former late night host made a "really powerful" pitch about the community amid protests against Donald Trump's immigration policies.
Conan O’Brien on Monday went to bat for the “vital” role that immigrants play in Los Angeles amid protests in the city against President Donald Trump’s immigration policies.
The former late night host, in an interview with Mexican actor Diego Luna for his “Conan O’Brien Needs A Friend” podcast, declared that he works with people “every day” in “every way” from Mexico and other countries in Central and South America.
“They are such a vital — they are the community in Los Angeles!” he stressed.
“They’re doing all the work, which is really powerful to see every day, and I have empathy because if you’re paying attention, you understand that it feels like 80% of what’s getting done here to sustain our lives and our culture and our community is coming from south of the border.”
O’Brien — who appeared to get emotional while reflecting on LA’s immigrant community — then apologized for quickly getting heavy with Luna, who was his guest on a 2017 episode of “Conan” filmed in Mexico City less than two months into Trump’s first term.
