Grand Theft Auto Onlineoffers its players tons of customization options, and one such user has taken advantage of this to recreate Conan O’Brien in digital form. The famous late-night talk show host has a memorable appearance, so it’s no wonder that fans of his love to recreate it.
Over the years,GTA Onlinehas become much more than an online version ofGrand Theft Auto 5. Users can create all kinds of custom races, load in mods that add extra features to private server rooms, and take advantage of the extensive character and vehicle customization options. It’s fair to say that these added features cause many modern gamers to gravitate more toGTA Onlinethan the original single-player game.

One suchGTAgamer, Redditor TheQuietNotion, has used these options to createan uncanny likeness of Conan O’Brien. The character model includes obvious details like the talk show host’s strong cheekbones and bright red pompadour, and it also captures smaller details like the comedian’s jawline, chin, and wrinkles.
Of course, there’s plenty of overlap between the gaming community and Conan O’Brien’s fan base. Despite his age, Conan has always managed to cultivate a younger audience, and in recent years one way he’s done so is by providing comedic reviews of popular video games on his show and podcast. These reviews have covered everything from triple-A titles likeCyberpunk 2077toindie phenomenons likeAmong Us.
What’s most interesting about this overlap is the fact that Conan may end up commenting on this image or the character model it comes from in one of his shows or podcasts. While Conan has retired from hosting a talk show, he’s still working ona variety show for HBO Max, and that gives him the freedom to dedicate parts of the show to any sort of commentary or segments he likes. In fact, Conan has shown more than once that he enjoys interacting with his fans.
On the other hand, with so much happening online it can be hard to get a celebrity’s attention. Part of the fun ofhis “Clueless Gamer” segmentwas how much he didn’t know about the games he was playing, and how much his staff had to help him understand the basics. Still, Conan did reviewGTA 5back when it came out, and so perhaps a trending post on Reddit that features his likeness inGTA Onlinewill eventually reach CoCo himself.
Grand Theft Auto Onlineis available now on PC, PS4, PS5, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X/S.
