Conan O'Brien adds cardboard cutouts of celebrities to his audience-free theater

The Hollywood Reporter

"I was watching Major League Baseball this past weekend. And I got an idea that you may have seen these teams have been filling their empty stands with cardboard cutouts of fans," Conan said on Monday's show, which continues taping at an empty Largo theater. "When I heard that idea, I thought that's not going to work, but it actually looks pretty good. People are okay with it. So I asked my crew to bring me whatever cardboard cutouts they could find in storage at our Warner Brothers studio, just random cardboard cutouts." So Conan's team left out cardboard cutouts of Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg, Different Strokes actor Conrad Bain and former FBI Director James Comey, along with four separate cutouts of Kevin Hart.
