Zoey Deutch's Grandma Thinks Conan Is Hot | CONAN on TBS

The episode begins with guest Zoey Deutch sharing a personal anecdote: her grandmother thinks Conan O'Brien is "really hot." Conan reacts with amusement, noting that older people tend to like him, jokingly attributing it to looking like a man who sold apples during the Depression. He reciprocates the affection and asks if her grandmother is a regular viewer of his show, setting a lighthearted tone for the interview.

Conan then delves into Deutch's early life, asking when she knew she wanted to be an actor. She reveals she always knew, recounting how she was a remarkably loud child to the point her mother had her hearing checked. It turned out to be less about hearing and more about an "attention thing," which she playfully suggests is a common trait for actresses. She also describes creating elaborate plays with her Barbie dolls, where Barbie frequently encountered misfortunes, such as Ken getting all the good lines and Barbie getting into car accidents with her Dream Jeep.

The conversation further explores her family background, mentioning her mother, actress Lea Thompson, and father, director Howard Deutch. Zoey shares a memorable childhood experience involving her mother's film, "Howard the Duck." She recounts seeing a particular scene where her mother "makes love to a duck." This led to a humorous misunderstanding where young Zoey believed her mother might leave her father for the duck and subsequently told schoolmates her mom was an "actress in adult films."
