Paul Rudd explains the origin of his Mac and Me joke on Conan O'Brien Needs a Friend podcast

The Hollywood Reporter

The actor joked on Conan's podcast that the movie was "the greatest thing I've ever seen" and that's why it's become a recurring bit on Conan's late-night shows for 15 years. Rudd also reveals that Mac and Me wasn't his first choice. "Another one that I had been toying with was from the movie Baby Geniuses," he said. "Baby Geniuses is another one of those movies that you watch and say, 'Who was this made for?'"
