Ricky Gervais Wants To Help Conan Achieve Viral Fame With His Own Set Of Dirty Late Night Games

Ricky Gervais is making the rounds to promote his return to The Golden Globes, and his mission on Conan is helping him fit in with the current late-night climate. If you’ve read any of our coverage for the past few years, you’ve seen the rise of Jimmy Fallon and the games he forces his guests to play — with their families in peril backstage, I assume. It’s all about that viral content with big stars lip syncing songs or playing beer pong. Something that Conan is missing.

Thankfully Gervais is there with some fantastic ideas for some games he can play on the air. There’s Tip The Balance, where you get a little scale, a kilogram weight, and a bowl with the object being “tip the balance” by filling the bowl with bodily fluids. Then Gervais tosses out C*ck Or Ball, which involves some worn pajamas and a pretty obvious guessing game. And finally, Assh*le Or Elbow. Take a picture of the inner part of your elbow and then see if people can tell it apart from your ass or elbow. Pretty simple. You can almost hear the ratings pouring in now — or you’re having a stroke.

Gervais also talks a bit about his hosting gig for The Golden Globes, highlighting that he doesn’t know if he should put in more effort or get drunker. This is before all the game suggestions, which prompts Conan to show a little shock when he realizes the Globes will be live.
