Conan O'Brien says he was originally supposed to attend John Mulaney's recent SNL episode as an audience member

On his Conan O’Brien Needs a Friend podcast, Conan recalled that he was already planning to be in the audience with SNL veteran head writer Jim Downey for his good friend Mulaney's episode. But Mulaney called him and asked him on the Thursday before the show to participate in his Five-Timer's sketch. Conan said the visit was one of his first time back at 30 Rock since he ended his Late Night talk show.
