It is important to remember that, on top of being a talk show host, O’Brien is also a beloved comedian. Naturally, he has excellent comedic timing because of this, being able to save any awkward moment and clear the air through his jokes.

There is no better example of this than the lead stars of the sitcom, Two Broke Girls, Beth Behrs, and Kat Dennings, who had a somewhat awkward moment on his show.

Kat Dennings and Beth Behrs Were Lost in Their Own Conversation

When Two Broke Girls was still airing, Kat Dennings and Beth Behrs made an appearance on Conan O’Brien’s beloved talk show. While they were there to talk to the comedian about their series, it would seem that they got a little too lost in each other. Having a heated conversation about something relating to each other, the pair were very passionately talking to each other while the others in the room spectated.

When the camera turned to O’Brien, the audience started to laugh at his expression full of false annoyance. He even joked that he could be making a sandwich and minding his own business with the way the pair were only engaging in conversation with each other.

While the pair laughed, their own topic of conversation seemed to have been quite heated, as they could not help but move back to talking about it.

As this happened, O’Brien decided to engage himself in other things, looking around his table for something to divert his attention towards. However, in that very moment, he ended up missing quite a hilariously awkward moment.

Conan O’Brien Saved the Day

While Kat Dennings and Beth Behr were conversing, the latter accidentally ended up touching the former’s breasts. While they immediately started laughing at what happened, the moment could have easily become very awkward. However, Conan O’Brien saved the day in his classic comedian fashion.

Roll that back.

When this happened, the host was looking away, so when they mentioned what had just happened, O’Brien began an uproar. He immediately turned to the camera crew and asked them to roll the clip back again. Repeating himself a few times, they actually ended up doing what he had asked them to do, only in slow motion.
