Conan O'Brien on Filming 'Sanggang Dikit FR' with Dennis Trillo and Jennylyn Mercado: 'This is Incredible'
A Memorable Experience for Conan O'Brien
Conan O'Brien had an unforgettable time while filming the second season of his HBO Max travel show, "Conan O'Brien Must Go," in the Philippines. The American comedian was seen working with Kapuso power couple Dennis Trillo and Jennylyn Mercado on the episode titled "Sanggang Dikit FR." In a recent interview with Nelson Canlas aired on "Unang Balita" on Wednesday, Conan described the experience as "incredible."
He shared that the script provided to him was well-written and he thoroughly enjoyed it. "They sent us the script, very good writing, loved it," he said. According to Conan, the team understood that he is a "silly fool," which made the whole process even more enjoyable. He added, "They made me a madman, they beat me up."
The actors, on the other hand, were equally thrilled about having Conan as their guest. Dennis Trillo expressed his disbelief, saying, "Ang saya grabe, parang panaginip." He couldn't believe that Conan chose "Sanggang Dikit FR" among all the shows in the Philippines. "Thank you Conan, it's an honor," he added.
Jennylyn Mercado also shared her feelings about the experience. She said, "Ang sarap ng pakiramdam na syempre parte kami sa pinunta ni Conan dito sa Pilipinas. Ang swerte natin." For her, being part of the show where Conan visited the Philippines was a dream come true.
