Marshawn Lynch dives into a pool of Skittles on Conan O’Brien (Video)
By Mike Dyce
Seattle Seahawks running back Marshawn Lynch got to dive into an end zone of Skittles on the Conan O’Brien Show.
Late night television host Conan O’Brien seems to be able to get Seattle Seahawks running back Marshawn Lynch to open up in a way most members of the media can’t. During the lead up to the Super Bowl Conan had both Lynch and New England Patriots tight end Rob Gronkowski on his Clueless Gamer segment, one that produced nothing but comedic gold.
Lynch returned to the Conan O’Brien show in a more formal setting this week and was given what might be the best gift of his life. O’Brien fully aware of Lynch’s love of Skittles and his fondness for grabbing himself as he dives into the end zone, gave him a end zone shaped pool of skittles to do his famous dive into.
Lynch obviously obliged, but who wouldn’t?
Watch it all below:
Conan has shown members of the media the way to Lynch’s heart and how to get him open, it’s Skittles and video games. O’Brien might be the only person to get Lynch to answer an interview with more than a word or phrase like “I’m just here so I won’t get fined.”
