Conan O'Brien Joins Toy Story 5 as Smarty Pants
About this episode
Conan OBrien joins Toy Story 5 as Smarty Pants, a sarcastic potty-training toy, after a brief meeting with director Andrew Stanton. Stanton was inspired by Conans podcast, Needs a Friend, and crafted a humorous offer letter describing Smarty as a low-battery town drunk with a heart of gold. Conan, initially hesitant, embraced the role, drawing from his own toy-filled childhood and method acting experience to perfect the drunk slur. Toy Story 5 hits theaters June 19th, blending Pixars magic with Conans comedic edge.

It's April 28th. This is Entertainment and Celebrity News. Today, your AI-powered source for all things entertainment. Conan O'Brien just landed the role of Smarty Pants in Toy Story 5, a sarcastic potty training toy that looks like a role of toilet paper with just two buttons labeled number one and number two. Director Andrew Stan says, the pitch was the shortest meeting of Conan's career. He said yes right away. It's thrilled to voice this brash forgotten, gadget from an abandoned playhouse. Stancing got hooked on the idea after his wife turned him onto Conan's podcast, Needs a Friend. He crafted this hilarious offer letter, describing Smarty as a yodeling cowgirl's nightmare, now a low-battery town drunk type with a heart of gold. That pun on roll, sealed the deal, no acting required, just be himself. Conan admits it gave him pause at first, wondering if that's how folks see him, but he took it as a compliment. He jokes about his own toy-filled childhood with GI Joe and a smoky the bear Teddy, no formal
training needed. He calls himself a prodigy. In the story, Jesse and Bullseye stumble on Smarty powered down and young blazes ranch back yard, the same house from Jesse's past. When reactivated on low-battery, he slurs like he's inebriated, not sleepy. Conan nailed the drunk vibe drawing from method acting experience. Toy Story 5 hits theaters. June 19th, bringing back that Pixar magic with Conan's edge, lighting up this wild toy crew.
