L-R Steven Yeun, Michael Cudlitz, Norman Reedus – Albert L. Ortega/Getty Images(LOS ANGELES) — With his gig with The Walking Dead now over thanks to Negan’s bat, Steven Yeun has just lined up another job: as Conan O’Brien’s stand-in.
Well, not really, but such was a bit on Thursday night’s Conan.
O’Brien explained he’d picked a new person to take his place during rehearsals, and it was revealed to be the actor whose character Glenn Rhee was brutally murdered on AMC’s hit zombie show.
Yeun practices playing Conan by firing the entire staff, then holding the studio hostage by planning guitar “for for hours.”
Getting O’Brien’s trademark ginger hair flip just right caused frustration, until a red wig was fitted over Yeun’s head, leading him to seek approval from the stand-in for sidekick Andy Richter.
At that point, the camera panned, to reveal his stand-in partner was none other than fellow Walking Dead victim Michael Cudlitz, who played Abraham Ford on the show. The actor, who is incidentally a fellow redhead, didn’t approve of the fake ginger ‘do.
