Charlyne Yi stopped by Conan this week to promote her new book, Oh the Moon, where she obliged the red-haired host by doing some impressions.

If her turtle impression, on the other hand, wasn’t enough to get her hired, then clearly it’s Saturday Night Live’s loss. After procuring a place of lettuce for her to eat off of, Conan and Andy absolutely lose it as Yi gets her chomp on just like a hungry turtle.

Uncanny, no? Hell, if I didn’t know any better I’d have thought there were two of them.
