Conan O’Brien Congratulates Danhausen On His WWE Debut

Conan O’Brien is proud of Danhausen’s rise to becoming a WWE Superstar.

Following a divisive debut at Elimination Chamber on February 28, Danhausen now appears to have captured the support of the WWE Universe with his quirky backstage segments and penchant for cursing his peers. It also appears that he has a major supporter in his corner from the world of entertainment.

During a recent episode of Conan O’Brien Needs a Friend, American television host Conan O’Brien revisited a previous interaction with Danhausen and congratulated him on making it to WWE.

“Five years ago this month, we did our very first fan episode. I really love these segments and the very first one featured a fan of mine named Danhausen. Now, Danhausen is a wrestler, and he explained to me when we did this very first fan episode that he had loosely based his character, his wrestling character, on me if I was an interdimensional demon, which seems redundant to me. Danhausen and I had a great conversation. We talked about comedy, performance, the love of entertaining people. And what struck me, and still I remember this to this day, Danhausen told me that he had been grinding away for the past eight years, driving 12 hours every weekend, just be able to get up in front of people and wrestle. And this is a guy who just applied an incredible work ethic to his passion, and I was so impressed with this fellow. Now it’s five years later and I am thrilled to report that Danhausen has recently made his WWE debut to rave reviews. And this is proof again that if you can marry hard work to your passion, you can go places. So on behalf of myself and all of us here at Team Coco, massive congratulations and mad respect to Danhausen. And I’m so proud of you. Happy for you.”

Conan O’Brien, as noted above, welcomed Danhausen to his podcast five years ago, where the then-independent wrestler revealed that he had loosely based his character on Conan.

Danhausen has yet to compete inside a WWE ring since joining the promotion following his departure from All Elite Wrestling, though he has found success cursing the likes of Dominik Mysterio and IShowSpeed.
