Which Netflix star went on Conan O’Brien‘s show Thursday night and flawlessly imitated a Page Six reporter? Ellie Kemper.
The actress appeared in a sketch about the show’s page program — and shared some juicy blind items as O’Brien’s “Page Six.”
“I like pages one through five, but I’m not sure about Page Six,” O’Brien’s “Conan” sidekick Andy Richter quipped, before the camera shot to the “Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt” star wearing a Page Six pin.
“What portly LA visitor was seen drinking up a storm at Bacio’s last night? No names, but our sources say he passed out under a urinal AND HE couldn’t be revived,” Kemper continued, to which Richter replied, “Shut up, Page Six.”
She went on with the joke, saying, “Tongues are still wagging after a certain hefty TV B-lister yelled at a coat check attendant at the Samba Room last night. When she couldn’t make change for his $100 bill, the snippy sidekick threw a five-star fit.”
For her final blind item, Kemper, 37, jokingly took aim at O’Brien himself. “Which Boston-born, carrot-topped quipster paid $90,000 in blackmail to stop the release of his sex tape? The hour-long video shows the freckled funnyman in 10 filthy sex positions and he’s all by himself!”
Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery.
