Ultimate 5-Day Italy Adventure with Conan: Chaos & Culture

[Opening Scene: A Private Boat on the Grand Canal in Venice]

(The camera opens with a sweeping aerial shot of Italy—rolling vineyards in Tuscany, the grand Colosseum in Rome, the sparkling waters of Lake Como. Suddenly, the shot cuts to CONAN O’BRIEN, standing dramatically at the bow of a gondola, arms wide open, looking like he’s about to make a profound speech… until he nearly loses his balance.)

CONAN O’BRIEN (grabbing onto the gondolier for dear life):
"Ahhh! Okay. Alright. Not my most graceful entrance. But let’s pretend I meant to do that."

(The gondolier shakes his head in silent judgment.)

CONAN O’BRIEN (straightening up, regaining composure):
"Hello, ladies and gentlemen, international travelers, and people who clicked on this thinking it was a Rick Steves documentary. Spoiler alert: It is not. Welcome to what I like to call…
🚨 CONAN O’BRIEN'S RIDICULOUSLY CHAOTIC, YET SURPRISINGLY EDUCATIONAL, TOUR OF ITALY! 🚨

Yes, that’s right. Italy. A land of ancient ruins, mind-blowing art, fashion so exclusive it actively wants to humiliate me, and food so good it ruins all other food for the rest of your life.

And if you’re thinking, ‘Wait, Conan, you’re not an expert on Italy!’ First of all, how dare you? Second of all, I have assembled the greatest team of travelers imaginable—a group so fun, fearless, and absurdly talented, that Italy itself might ban us by the end of this trip.

Let me introduce them…"

Introducing the Dream Team:

(The camera cuts to quick shots of each celebrity, showing them in their natural chaotic state.)

📍 ROME – The Eternal City
🔥 Jack Black – Because Rome wasn’t built in a day, but I guarantee Jack will find a way to destroy it in one.
🎭 Ryan Reynolds – Here to provide the world’s most sarcastic historical commentary.
🏛 Alberto Angela (Italy) – Italy’s premier historian and TV presenter, who is our only real source of knowledge.

📍 FLORENCE – The Renaissance Playground
🎨 Emma Stone – Who will pretend to know art but will secretly be Googling everything.
🔎 Nicolas Cage – Who will absolutely turn this trip into a National Treasure sequel.
🤩 Roberto Benigni (Italy) – Who may or may not be performing Shakespeare in every piazza.

📍 VENICE – The Floating City of Chaos
🎤 Will Ferrell – Because Venice is known for gondolas, and Will Ferrell is known for making everything worse in the best way.
🚣 Kristen Bell – Who will 100% challenge me to a gondola race.
⚔ Bebe Vio (Italy) – Italy’s champion Paralympic fencer, here to ensure I survive the trip.

📍 MILAN – The Fashion & Food Capital
👔 Gordon Ramsay – Here to critique everything I eat and make me cry.
💃 Lady Gaga – Here to ruin my life by forcing me into a fashion show.
🎤 Fedez (Italy) – Milan’s most famous rapper, influencer, and nightlife insider.

📍 LAKE COMO – The Grand Finale
🎬 George Clooney – Because he literally owns a villa here and I’m hoping he’ll adopt me.
🌊 Paul Rudd – Here to make everything look effortless while I struggle.
📸 Chiara Ferragni (Italy) – The fashion and travel influencer who will document my every mistake.

CONAN O’BRIEN (grinning):
"Over the next five days, we’ll be **exploring ancient ruins, climbing way too many steps, possibly getting banned from several landmarks, eating until we physically cannot move, and—most importantly—learning the deep, rich history of Italy… while making complete fools of ourselves.

We’ll be guided by brilliant local experts, including a special tour guide who knows secret locations that aren’t in your average travel book. Yes, we’re going off the beaten path! And by 'off the beaten path,’ I mean we’re probably getting lost, breaking at least one law, and confusing many innocent Italians along the way.

So, sit back, grab a plate of pasta, and get ready for the most unhinged yet somehow still educational adventure across Italy.

Welcome to… 🚀 THE MOST RIDICULOUS ITALY TRIP EVER! 🚀

Now, if you’ll excuse me, I need to prepare for my gladiator fight in Rome."

(Conan dramatically puts on a Roman centurion helmet… which is way too big for his head. The gondolier sighs deeply as the boat drifts toward the Colosseum, marking the official start of the trip.)

FADE TO BLACK… LET THE CHAOS BEGIN.

And now… off to Day 1 in Rome!

(Note: This is an imaginary conversation, a creative exploration of an idea, and not a real speech or event.)

Day 1: Conan O’Brien Explores Rome with Jack Black, Ryan Reynolds, and Alberto Angela

Scene 1: Colosseum – The Gladiator’s Playground

The sun casts a golden glow over the Colosseum’s towering arches, its ancient stones whispering the echoes of roaring crowds from centuries past. The air is thick with the scent of warm stone and distant espresso, and a faint breeze carries the chatter of tourists snapping photos.

Tour Guide (excitedly):
“Did you know the Colosseum once had a retractable awning system? The ‘velarium’ shielded spectators from the sun, much like a modern-day stadium!”

Jack Black (grabbing Conan by the shoulders):
“Dude. You have to let me fight you. Right here. Right now. For glory.”

Ryan Reynolds (dryly, adjusting his sunglasses):
“Oh yeah, because nothing says ‘gladiator’ like Conan O’Brien fighting a man who once sang ‘Tribute’ to the devil.”

Conan O’Brien (grinning):
“I accept your challenge. But only if Alberto referees.”

Alberto Angela (smirking):
“If I must. But let me warn you: Gladiators often fought animals, and you seem like the kind that would be thrown to the lions.”

Jack Black dramatically rips off his jacket, revealing a makeshift toga fashioned from a hotel bedsheet, while Conan tries to fashion a sword out of a selfie stick. Tourists stop and stare as the two “gladiators” square off, Alberto narrating in his smooth historian voice.

Just as Conan lunges, a whistle pierces the air—a security guard approaches, shaking his head.

Ryan Reynolds (crossing his arms):
“Well, that’s it. Gladiator career’s over. Guess we should just go to the Trevi Fountain and throw in a coin to wish for some dignity.”

Scene 2: Trevi Fountain – Coins, Wishes, and Regrets

Water sparkles in the midday sun, cascading over the Baroque sculptures of Oceanus, horses, and Tritons. The cool mist from the fountain is a welcome relief from the Roman heat. The smell of freshly baked pizza and gelato from a nearby stand makes Jack Black drool.

Tour Guide (grinning):
“Legend says if you throw a coin over your left shoulder into the fountain, you’re destined to return to Rome. Two coins mean you’ll find love. Three coins—”

Ryan Reynolds (interrupting, tossing in three coins):
“Three coins mean you’re in too deep.”

Conan O’Brien (scoffing):
“Three coins? Rookie move. I’m throwing in a whole handful because I want to return twenty times—mostly for the pasta.”

Jack Black flings an entire roll of Euros into the fountain, causing a minor splash and gasps from tourists.

Jack Black (shouting):
“I’M WISHING FOR A PRIVATE GELATO TASTING WITH THE POPE!”

Scene 3: Pantheon – The Mystery of the Open Dome

The cool, dim interior of the Pantheon is a stark contrast to the heat outside. Sunlight pierces through the massive oculus, a single beam illuminating the ancient marble floor. The faint scent of incense and old stone fills the air.

Alberto Angela (enthusiastically):
“This was once a temple to all gods. The oculus at the top has never been covered, even in storms. Rainwater simply drains through hidden holes in the floor!”

Conan O’Brien (pointing at the oculus, squinting):
“Wait, so you’re telling me this is ancient Roman skylight technology? Why don’t we have more of these? Ryan, we should install one in your house.”

Ryan Reynolds (shrugging):
“I mean, if I had one, I’d just throw toast into it and see if the birds would take it.”

Jack Black (lying on the marble floor, staring up at the oculus):
“What if the ancient gods are still watching us through that hole, just judging?”

Alberto tries to respond with a serious historical fact, but just then, a pigeon swoops in through the oculus, causing Conan and Jack to shriek like schoolchildren.

Scene 4: Vatican City – Art, Michelangelo, and Conan’s Great Escape

The Sistine Chapel is silent, sacred, awe-inspiring. Tourists whisper, their eyes lifted to the ceiling, where Michelangelo’s masterpiece stretches across the heavens.

Tour Guide (softly, reverently):
“This ceiling took four years to paint, and Michelangelo did it standing up, not lying down, despite popular belief.”

Conan O’Brien (whispering to Jack Black):
“I knew that, but I’m still going to tell everyone he did it lying down just to annoy historians.”

Jack Black (gasping, eyes wide):
“Dude. What if I reenact the ‘Creation of Adam’ painting with my toes?”

Before anyone can stop him, Jack removes his shoe and lifts his foot toward the air in a dramatic pose. A guard approaches instantly, eyes narrowing.

Ryan Reynolds (grabbing Conan’s arm):
“We need to go. Now.”

They hastily exit before being permanently banned from the Vatican.

Scene 5: Castel Sant’Angelo – Secret Tunnels and Sunset Views

The view from Castel Sant’Angelo is breathtaking—Rome’s domes and rooftops bathed in golden-orange light, the Tiber River shimmering below. A soft scent of cypress trees and distant pizza ovens lingers in the evening air.

Tour Guide (grinning):
“There’s a secret passageway from here to the Vatican, used by Popes in times of danger. It’s called the Passetto di Borgo.”

Ryan Reynolds (turning to Conan):
“I bet you twenty bucks you won’t sneak in and try to find it.”

Conan O’Brien (scoffing):
“I have more dignity than that.”

Jack Black (laughing):
“No, you don’t.”

As the group leans against the stone walls, gazing at the city lights flickering on, Conan sighs dramatically.

Conan O’Brien:
“Rome is incredible. It’s ancient, majestic, and yet… we’ve somehow managed to embarrass ourselves at every single landmark.”

Alberto Angela (nodding wisely):
“Then you’ve experienced Rome exactly as it was meant to be experienced.”

They all burst into laughter, and as the night deepens, they raise a toast to adventure, history, and utter, joyful chaos.

Day 2: Conan O’Brien & Friends Take Over Florence

Scene 1: Arrival & Florence Cathedral (Duomo di Firenze)

The morning sun bathes Florence in a soft golden light, reflecting off the pink, white, and green marble of the Duomo. The air is fresh with a faint scent of espresso and warm pastries drifting from nearby cafés. Street musicians strum gentle Italian tunes as tourists gather, their heads craning to take in the massive dome designed by Brunelleschi.

Celebrities Joining Conan O’Brien:

• Emma Stone – Her charm and appreciation for art will turn every masterpiece into a relatable experience.
• Nicolas Cage – Because he’ll be on a mission to uncover a lost Renaissance secret.
• Roberto Benigni (Italy) – The Life is Beautiful star will bring poetry, passion, and pure chaos to the day.

The Chaos Begins

Tour Guide (grinning):
“Welcome to the Florence Cathedral! Its dome, engineered by Brunelleschi, was an architectural marvel of the Renaissance.”

Nicolas Cage (whispering conspiratorially):
“You know… there’s a legend about a secret hidden within this dome—an ancient map leading to a lost Medici treasure.”

Conan O’Brien (nodding seriously):
“Of course. Because everywhere you go, there’s a treasure conspiracy.”

Emma Stone (pointing at the massive dome):
“I’m still trying to process how anyone built that without modern cranes.”

Roberto Benigni (dramatically gesturing):
“Because, dear friends, the Renaissance was a time when dreams were made of marble! When men reached for the heavens—”

Suddenly, Conan, Nicolas Cage, and Roberto all try to gesture wildly at the same time, nearly knocking over a group of tourists.

Tour Guide (laughing):
“Shall we climb to the top? It’s 463 steps.”

Conan O’Brien (eyes widening):
“Four hundred and sixty—oh boy, this trip just turned into leg day.”

Nicolas Cage (already halfway up the stairs):
“I must see if the legend is true!”

Scene 2: Piazza della Signoria – Living History & A Surprise Performance

The group emerges, panting and exhausted from the climb, but the view of Florence is breathtaking—terracotta rooftops stretching into rolling green hills. After catching their breath, they make their way to Piazza della Signoria, where statues of Michelangelo’s David (replica), Perseus holding Medusa’s head, and Neptune’s Fountain stand proudly in the heart of the city.

Tour Guide (gesturing to David’s statue):
“While this is a replica, the real David by Michelangelo is housed in the Accademia Gallery. But did you know? When Michelangelo was carving him, the people of Florence thought he was ruining the marble and almost stopped him.”

Emma Stone (staring up at the statue):
“Imagine almost canceling Michelangelo. Florence was the original Twitter.”

Roberto Benigni (suddenly leaping onto the steps of the fountain, dramatically reciting Dante’s Divine Comedy):
“Oh you who have sound intellects, marvel at the doctrine which conceals itself beneath the veil of the mysterious verses!”

Tourists start clapping, assuming this is a street performance. Conan, always one for improv, joins in, miming Michelangelo chiseling David, while Nicolas Cage dramatically pretends to search for hidden codes in the statues.

Conan O’Brien (whispering to Emma):
“I’m starting to think this entire trip is just Roberto performing and us accidentally becoming his backup dancers.”

Scene 3: Uffizi Gallery – Renaissance Art & Time Travel Jokes

Inside the Uffizi Gallery, the group moves past some of the greatest Renaissance masterpieces—Botticelli’s The Birth of Venus, da Vinci’s Annunciation, and Caravaggio’s dramatic chiaroscuro works. The scent of aged wood and oil paint fills the air, and the floors creak faintly beneath their steps.

Tour Guide (pointing to The Birth of Venus):
“This painting was revolutionary for its time—Venus, goddess of love, emerging from the sea on a shell.”

Emma Stone (tilting her head):
“She looks… so serene. Meanwhile, if someone threw me onto a seashell, I’d just be flailing and screaming.”

Conan O’Brien (pointing at himself):
“Fun fact: I posed for that painting.”

Nicolas Cage (nodding solemnly):
“It does bear an uncanny resemblance.”

Scene 4: Ponte Vecchio – Gold, Legends, and Nicolas Cage’s Grand Plan

As the sun begins to set, they stroll across Ponte Vecchio, Florence’s iconic bridge lined with dazzling jewelry shops. The golden hues reflect off the river below, and the scent of roasted chestnuts and fresh pastries drifts through the air.

Tour Guide:
“The Medici family built this bridge to connect their palace with the city, and it was the only bridge in Florence not destroyed in WWII.”

Nicolas Cage (leaning in, whispering dramatically):
“This is it. The Medici treasure must be hidden beneath the bridge.”

Conan O’Brien (smirking):
“Nicolas, if you jump into that river, I’m not pulling you out.”

Roberto Benigni (shouting to no one in particular):
“Ah, but life is an adventure! We must chase history, chase art, chase—”

Suddenly, he grabs Conan’s hand and twirls him into an impromptu dance, much to the amusement of onlookers.

Emma Stone (clapping):
“This is the best historical fever dream I’ve ever been part of.”

Scene 5: Dinner in Oltrarno – Wine, Pasta, and Philosophical Chaos

The group settles into a rustic, candlelit trattoria in the Oltrarno district, where the scent of fresh pasta, basil, and truffle oil fills the cozy space. Glasses of Tuscan red wine clink as waiters bring in plates of pici pasta, bistecca alla fiorentina, and warm bread drizzled with olive oil.

Conan O’Brien (raising a glass):
“To Florence, where the art is incredible, the food is better, and I’m somehow still alive after Roberto twirled me into traffic.”

Emma Stone (laughing):
“To Conan’s survival and Nicolas Cage’s delusional treasure hunt.”

Nicolas Cage (dramatically):
“The night is young. The mystery remains.”

Roberto Benigni (smiling, pouring more wine):
“And so, my friends, we drink to history, we drink to art, and most importantly, we drink to the madness of life!”

The group erupts in laughter, their voices blending with the warm hum of the trattoria. Outside, Florence’s golden streetlights shimmer, promising another day of adventure.

Day 3: Conan O’Brien & Friends Take Over Venice

Scene 1: Arrival in Venice – The Floating City

The morning mist rolls over the Grand Canal, blurring the edges of historic palazzos that seem to rise from the water. The scent of salty sea air and fresh pastries mingles as gondolas glide through the canals. Street musicians play soft violin melodies, and the sound of lapping water against stone fills the air.

Celebrities Joining Conan O’Brien:

• Will Ferrell – Because Venice needs more dramatic gondola performances and ridiculous disguises.
• Kristen Bell – She’s adventurous, loves quirky places, and might convince Conan to do something absolutely insane.
• Bebe Vio (Italy) – Italy’s champion Paralympic fencer, known for her unstoppable enthusiasm and humor.

Scene 2: Piazza San Marco – The Pigeon Incident

The group steps into Piazza San Marco, where the golden mosaics of St. Mark’s Basilica shimmer under the sun. The square is alive with chatter, the aroma of fresh espresso, and… pigeons.

Tour Guide (gesturing toward the Basilica):
“This is St. Mark’s Basilica, built in the 9th century. Fun fact: It’s known as the ‘Church of Gold’ because of its opulent mosaics—”

Conan O’Brien (interrupting, nervously eyeing a pigeon on his shoulder):
“Yeah, yeah, great, BUT CAN WE TALK ABOUT THE AGGRESSIVE PIGEONS?”

Kristen Bell (laughing):
“Oh, come on, Conan. They just sense your fear.”

Just then, Will Ferrell spreads his arms dramatically, tossing a handful of birdseed into the air. Instantly, hundreds of pigeons descend.

Will Ferrell (shouting over the chaos):
“I AM VENICE’S CHOSEN ONE!”

Bebe Vio (laughing):
“This is the best day of my life.”

Conan is completely covered in pigeons, flailing. A tourist snaps a photo.

Conan O’Brien (muffled):
“IF YOU POST THAT ON INSTAGRAM, I SWEAR TO GOD—”

Scene 3: Gondola Ride – Shakespeare, Serenades, and Gondola Races

The group escapes the pigeons and climbs into a sleek, black gondola. The water is smooth, reflecting the pastel-colored buildings. A gondolier, dressed in a striped shirt and red scarf, begins to row.

Tour Guide (smiling):
“Did you know Shakespeare’s Othello and The Merchant of Venice were set here?”

Kristen Bell (grinning at Will Ferrell):
“Oh no. I see that look. Don’t you dare—”

Too late. Will Ferrell suddenly stands up, throws his arms wide, and starts dramatically reciting Shakespeare.

Will Ferrell (booming):
“HATH NOT A VENETIAN EYES?! HATH NOT A VENETIAN HANDS?!”

Gondolier (deadpan):
“Sir, please sit down before we tip over.”

Bebe Vio (excitedly):
“Forget Shakespeare! Let’s have a gondola race!”

She grabs a second gondola, challenging Kristen Bell and Conan. The gondoliers reluctantly agree, and soon, two gondolas are speeding down the canal, Italian grandmothers shouting at them from balconies.

Conan O’Brien (rowing furiously):
“I DIDN’T COME TO VENICE TO LOSE TO A FENCING CHAMPION!”

Kristen Bell (laughing):
“Conan, you’re literally losing to an old man rowing with one hand.”

Scene 4: Murano & Burano – Glass, Colors, and Artistic Failures

After the gondola race (which Bebe Vio wins effortlessly), the group heads to Murano, famous for Venetian glassmaking. The workshop smells of molten glass and woodsmoke, and a glassblower demonstrates how to shape a delicate, shimmering vase.

Tour Guide:
“Murano glassmakers were once forbidden to leave the island, so their secrets wouldn’t be stolen.”

Will Ferrell (gasps):
“So they were like prisoners of art?!”

The group gets to try making glass art.

Kristen Bell (holding up a wobbly glass horse):
“I tried to make a unicorn. It looks like it’s seen things.”

Conan O’Brien (presenting his piece):
“I call this ‘Modern Anxiety in Glass Form.’”

Bebe Vio (laughing, pointing at Will Ferrell’s disaster-piece):
“Will, yours looks like… melted spaghetti.”

Will Ferrell (dramatically):
“It’s interpretive!”

They then visit Burano, where the brightly painted houses look like a watercolor dream. The air smells of fresh seafood and sweet pastries.

Conan O’Brien (looking around):
“Am I in a storybook? Or is this just what happens when you give Italians unlimited paint?”

Scene 5: Dinner & Venetian Ghost Stories

As evening falls, they settle into a cozy trattoria overlooking a quiet canal, where lanterns flicker and the smell of garlic, seafood, and fresh bread fills the air.

Tour Guide (leaning in, whispering):
“Venice is home to many ghost stories. The most haunted place? Palazzo Dario. They say anyone who owns it meets a tragic fate.”

Kristen Bell (eyes widening):
“Okay, tell me more. I love creepy stuff.”

Will Ferrell (grinning):
“Let’s go break in!”

Conan O’Brien (horrified):
“Nope. Absolutely not. I’m too tall to be dealing with ghosts.”

As they sip Venetian wine and dig into seafood risotto, the conversation drifts between art, history, and Conan swearing that pigeons are out to get him.

Bebe Vio (raising a glass):
“To Venice, to chaos, and to the fact that we’re all probably banned from St. Mark’s Square now.”

Conan O’Brien (laughing, clinking glasses):
“And to never—EVER—trust Will Ferrell with birdseed again.”

The night ends with laughter echoing over the canal, the sound of water lapping against stone, and the soft, magical glow of Venice at night.

Day 4: Conan O’Brien & Friends Take Over Milan

Scene 1: Arrival in Milan – The Fashion Capital

The morning air in Milan is crisp and cool, carrying the scent of fresh espresso and warm brioche from nearby cafés. The grand architecture of the city blends historic elegance with sleek modernity, setting the stage for a day filled with fashion, art, and complete chaos. The group steps out of Milano Centrale, greeted by the city’s energetic buzz—chic locals in designer coats, speeding Vespas, and businessmen clutching tiny cups of coffee.

Celebrities Joining Conan O’Brien:

• Gordon Ramsay – Because Milan’s food scene needs his brutal honesty and impeccable palate.
• Lady Gaga – The ultimate fashion icon who will force Conan into a ridiculous Milan Fashion Week outfit.
• Fedez (Italy) – A famous Italian rapper and social media star, known for his love of fashion, humor, and insider access to Milan’s underground culture.

Scene 2: Duomo di Milano – Conan vs. 250 Steps

The group arrives at Milan’s breathtaking cathedral, the Duomo di Milano, where spires and statues pierce the sky, illuminated by the morning sun. Pigeons scatter as Conan cautiously approaches, wary after his Venice experience.

Tour Guide (smiling):
“This cathedral took over 600 years to complete, and you can climb to the rooftop for a stunning city view.”

Conan O’Brien (staring at the staircase sign):
“Wait. Two hundred and fifty steps? I barely survived the Florence climb!”

Lady Gaga (grinning, adjusting her oversized sunglasses):
“Oh, stop complaining. We’re taking the stairs. You need the cardio.”

As they climb, Conan dramatically wheezes, Gordon Ramsay mutters curses under his breath, and Fedez live-streams Conan’s struggle to his millions of followers.

Conan O’Brien (panting at the top, staring at the panoramic view):
“Okay… fine. This is worth it. But next time, we take a helicopter.”

Scene 3: Galleria Vittorio Emanuele II – Conan’s Fashion Disaster

The group steps into Italy’s most luxurious shopping arcade, where the glass-domed ceiling lets in golden light over high-end boutiques like Prada, Gucci, and Versace. The air smells of expensive leather, fresh espresso, and old money.

Tour Guide (pointing to the mosaic floor):
“There’s a tradition here—if you spin on the bull’s testicles on this mosaic, it brings good luck.”

Conan O’Brien (blinking):
“Hold on. You’re saying Milanese luck depends on stepping on a bull’s crotch?”

Fedez (laughing):
“Absolutely. It’s a must-do.”

Conan reluctantly spins on the bull’s, uh, sacred spot, while Gordon Ramsay and Lady Gaga cheer sarcastically.

Lady Gaga (suddenly turning serious):
“Alright, enough nonsense. Conan, you need a Milan Fashion Week transformation.”

Within minutes, Conan is forcibly dressed in an avant-garde runway outfit—a red velvet cape, massive sunglasses, and platform boots.

Conan O’Brien (staring at his reflection, horrified):
“I look like Dracula’s influencer nephew.”

Gordon Ramsay (grimacing):
“You look like a fashion disaster wrapped in a midlife crisis.”

Fedez (nodding approvingly):
“You’ll break Instagram.”

A crowd gathers as Lady Gaga forces Conan to strut down the arcade, while Gordon yells fashion critiques in the background.

Scene 4: Sforza Castle – Conan’s Historical Conspiracy Moment

The group arrives at Sforza Castle, a massive medieval fortress surrounded by a green park, stone walls, and hidden underground tunnels.

Tour Guide:
“This castle once housed the powerful Sforza family and even Leonardo da Vinci worked here.”

Conan O’Brien (stroking his chin):
“So, if da Vinci worked here… there must be a hidden code somewhere.”

Fedez (excitedly):
“Oh great. He’s having a National Treasure moment.”

Gordon Ramsay (deadpan):
“If you start looking for secret passages, I’m leaving.”

But it’s too late—Conan starts tapping bricks, Lady Gaga dramatically reads out Latin inscriptions, and Fedez films everything, encouraging conspiracy theories.

Tour Guide (laughing):
“The only treasure here is a sense of history, not a secret vault.”

Conan O’Brien (sighing):
“Well, that’s disappointing. I was hoping to find da Vinci’s secret pasta recipe.”

Scene 5: Santa Maria delle Grazie – Conan’s "Last Supper" Commentary

Inside the dimly lit monastery, the group stands before Leonardo da Vinci’s The Last Supper. The air is thick with reverence, the painting glowing softly under careful preservation lighting.

Tour Guide (whispering):
“This is one of the most famous paintings in the world. It’s fragile, and only a limited number of visitors are allowed each day.”

Conan O’Brien (leaning toward Gordon Ramsay):
“I feel like da Vinci would’ve made a great cooking show host.”

Gordon Ramsay (nodding):
“Oh, absolutely. He’d tell people their food was mathematically terrible.”

Lady Gaga (tilting her head at the painting):
“You know, if I were there, I’d definitely be sitting at the center.”

Scene 6: Navigli District – Aperitivo & Chaos

As the sun sets, the group heads to the Navigli district, where Venetian-style canals weave through streets lined with cafés, bars, and live jazz music. The scent of fresh Negronis, rosemary, and warm focaccia fills the air.

They settle into a canal-side bar, sipping Aperol Spritz and snacking on Milan’s famous aperitivo spreads—cured meats, cheeses, olives, and crispy bread.

Gordon Ramsay (biting into focaccia):
“Finally. Something that isn’t a fashion crime.”

Conan O’Brien (raising his glass):
“To Milan! Where I was violated by a bull mosaic, humiliated in fashion, and failed at finding da Vinci’s treasure.”

Lady Gaga (grinning):
“That sounds like a perfect Milan experience.”

Fedez (laughing, checking his phone):
“By the way, Conan, your Milan Fashion Week video just went viral.”

Conan O’Brien (groaning, sinking into his chair):
“Fantastic. This will haunt me forever.”

They all clink glasses, laughing, as the city lights reflect in the canal waters, marking another ridiculous, unforgettable day in Italy.

Day 5: Conan O’Brien & Friends Take Over Lake Como

Scene 1: Arrival in Lake Como – The Ultimate Italian Getaway

The morning sun dances on the crystal-clear waters of Lake Como, reflecting the majestic mountains that cradle the lake like a Renaissance painting. The air smells of fresh cypress, damp earth, and the occasional whiff of espresso from a lakeside café. Speedboats glide effortlessly across the glass-like water, while elegant villas with terracotta rooftops peek from lush gardens.

The group steps off their private boat, feeling like royalty… or at least extremely lucky tourists.

Celebrities Joining Conan O’Brien:

• George Clooney – Because he literally owns a villa here and might host them for an extravagant brunch.
• Paul Rudd – The ultimate chill guy, who will make every moment hilariously effortless.
• Chiara Ferragni (Italy) – Italy’s top fashion and travel influencer, who knows the best hidden spots, VIP hangouts, and secret villa parties.

Scene 2: George Clooney’s Villa – A Breakfast of Champions

The group arrives at Villa Oleandra, George Clooney’s legendary home. A team of staff in crisp uniforms serves freshly baked croissants, perfectly brewed cappuccinos, and golden honey from local beekeepers.

Conan O’Brien (leaning back in his chair, admiring the view):
“Okay, Clooney, what kind of mafia deal with the universe did you make to live here?”

George Clooney (grinning, sipping his espresso):
“It wasn’t a deal. Just handsome privilege.”

Paul Rudd (casually taking in the scenery):
“Man… this is so beautiful, I feel like I should be wearing a sweater draped over my shoulders and discussing stocks.”

Chiara Ferragni (checking her phone):
“I posted a photo of this breakfast 20 seconds ago, and it already has 400,000 likes.”

Conan O’Brien (mock serious):
“You have too much power.”

Scene 3: Bellagio – The Pearl of Lake Como

The group hops onto a sleek wooden speedboat, skimming across the turquoise waters to Bellagio, the most picturesque town on the lake. The narrow, cobblestone streets twist through pastel-colored buildings, lined with boutiques selling silk scarves, handcrafted leather goods, and delicate glass jewelry.

Tour Guide (pointing at a villa on a hilltop):
“This was once a palace for Italian nobility—legend has it, Napoleon Bonaparte himself stayed here.”

Conan O’Brien (gasps dramatically):
“So you’re telling me Napoleon might have used one of these tiny bathrooms?!”

George Clooney (laughing):
“Probably. And he definitely wasn’t tall enough to reach the top shelves.”

Paul Rudd (mocking a historical re-enactment):
“Napoleon, standing in a room: ‘Why are all the mirrors so high?!’”

Scene 4: Villa del Balbianello – Hollywood’s Favorite Hideaway

The group walks into Villa del Balbianello, a breathtaking mansion perched on the edge of the lake, its manicured gardens sloping toward the water. The air is filled with the scent of wisteria and fresh-cut grass.

Tour Guide:
“This villa has been featured in Star Wars: Attack of the Clones and Casino Royale. James Bond himself was here.”

Conan O’Brien (posing dramatically):
“So what you’re saying is… I am now Bond.”

Paul Rudd (pointing at Conan’s wobbly stance):
“Yeah. A very, very nervous Bond.”

George Clooney (putting on a serious voice):
“Bond. James Bond. Likes his wine cheap and his hotel beds slightly uncomfortable.”

They all burst into laughter, while Chiara films everything for Instagram.

Scene 5: Swimming in the Lake – The Bet

As the afternoon sun warms the lake, the group lounges on a private dock, sipping Aperol Spritz and debating who has the guts to jump into the water first.

Chiara Ferragni (raising an eyebrow):
“You guys talk a big game, but who’s actually brave enough to jump in?”

Paul Rudd (pointing at Conan):
“It has to be Conan. He’s the tallest. That’s the rule.”

Conan O’Brien (mock horrified):
“That is not a rule. You just made that up.”

George Clooney (grinning):
“Come on, O’Brien. Bond would do it.”

With that, Conan yells dramatically and cannonballs into the lake, sending a tidal wave over everyone.

Conan O’Brien (resurfacing, gasping):
“IT’S FREEZING! I WAS LIED TO! LAKE COMO IS A TRAP!”

Paul Rudd, Clooney, and Chiara dive in after him, and soon the group is splashing, laughing, and completely soaking wet.

Scene 6: A Secret Villa Party – The Grand Finale

As night falls, the group heads to an exclusive, hidden villa party hosted by one of Chiara’s mysterious ultra-rich friends. The atmosphere is dreamlike—candlelit gardens, a live jazz band playing under the stars, waiters serving prosecco and truffle risotto.

Conan O’Brien (taking in the scene):
“I feel like I’m in a movie where I’m definitely not rich enough to be here.”

Chiara Ferragni (laughing):
“Don’t worry, Conan. I got you in.”

As they sip drinks and enjoy the surreal, perfect Italian night, George Clooney raises his glass.

George Clooney:
“To Lake Como. To friendship. And to Conan… who will never recover from that cannonball.”

Paul Rudd (laughing):
“To Conan, the only man who could turn an elegant Italian vacation into a series of near-death experiences.”

Conan O’Brien (grinning, clinking glasses):
“To all of you—because if I died here, at least I’d die in style.”

The group laughs, toasts, and watches the reflection of the villa lights dance on the lake—marking the perfect ending to the wildest Italian vacation ever.

And with that, Conan O’Brien’s Legendary Italy Trip Comes to an End…

(Unless he decides to come back next year and cause more chaos.)

Final Reflection: Conan O’Brien’s Ultimate Italy Trip – A Journey of Chaos and Wonder

[Scene: A Quiet Terrace Overlooking Lake Como at Sunset]

(The group is gathered on a private terrace, the golden hues of the setting sun reflecting off the still waters of Lake Como. The air is crisp, carrying the faint scent of blooming jasmine and woodsmoke from a distant villa’s fireplace. A waiter pours the last round of wine as laughter echoes across the hills. Conan O’Brien, wrapped in a slightly damp towel from his earlier “unplanned” swim, leans back in his chair, staring at the sky.)

CONAN O’BRIEN (sighing dramatically):
“Well, folks, we did it. Somehow, against all odds, we survived Italy. And more impressively, Italy survived us.”

(The group chuckles, raising their glasses.)

A Journey Unlike Any Other

CONAN O’BRIEN:
“When I started this trip, I thought it would be a classy, sophisticated tour through history, art, and cuisine. Instead, we got...

• Jack Black nearly arrested for re-enacting a gladiator fight in the Colosseum.
• Ryan Reynolds emotionally traumatized by the pigeons in Venice.
• Nicolas Cage convinced there’s a hidden Medici treasure in Florence.
• Lady Gaga dressing me like a ‘fashion-forward Dracula’ in Milan.
• George Clooney’s smooth charm making me question my own existence.

And, of course, me—falling, sweating, embarrassing myself in front of ancient landmarks, and eating so much pasta that my bloodstream is now 40% carbonara.”

PAUL RUDD (grinning):
“And somehow… that made it perfect.”

What We Learned (Besides the Fact That Conan is Unathletic)

CONAN O’BRIEN:
"But beyond the chaos, beyond the questionable decisions and near-deportations, this trip reminded me why people fall in love with Italy.

• Rome taught us that history isn’t just something in books—it’s alive, waiting for you to touch it (sometimes illegally, sorry).
• Florence showed us that art isn’t just about staring at paintings—it’s about feeling something bigger than yourself.
• Venice proved that magic still exists. If you don’t believe me, just take a gondola ride at night.
• Milan made me realize that I will never be fashionable, no matter how hard Lady Gaga tries.
• And Lake Como… well, Lake Como is just unfairly perfect. It made me want to quit my job and become an espresso-drinking boat guy who never wears socks.”

(George Clooney raises an eyebrow.)

GEORGE CLOONEY:
“That’s literally my life.”

CONAN O’BRIEN (nodding solemnly):
“I know. And I hate you for it.”

A Toast to the Madness

(Chiara Ferragni stands up, raising her glass.)

CHIARA FERRAGNI:
“To Italy—the land where every meal is a masterpiece, every street is a painting, and even total idiots like us can feel like we belong.”

(The group laughs and clinks glasses. The sound of distant church bells rings out as they sip their final toast to an unforgettable journey.)

Final Thoughts from Conan

CONAN O’BRIEN (leaning forward, looking into the camera):
"If there’s one thing I’ve learned from this adventure, it’s this—

Travel isn’t just about seeing a place. It’s about experiencing it, messing up, laughing at yourself, and creating stories that you’ll tell forever.

It’s about climbing a thousand unnecessary stairs, eating one too many cannoli, and realizing that no matter how much history you learn, you’ll still probably remember the trip because Will Ferrell got banned from a gondola.

So, my advice to you?

Go to Italy. Get lost in Rome. Get inspired in Florence. Get splashed in Venice. Get judged in Milan. Get jealous of George Clooney’s life in Lake Como.

And most importantly, make memories so ridiculous that they become legendary.

Because at the end of the day, the best trips aren’t about checking off places on a list…

They’re about who you take the journey with.”

(Conan raises his glass. The camera zooms out to the breathtaking view of Lake Como, the stars just beginning to twinkle in the sky.)

CONAN O’BRIEN:
“To adventure. To friendship. And to the fact that I’m definitely never allowed back at the Vatican.”

(The group erupts in laughter. The screen fades to black as the words “Arrivederci, Italia!” appear.)

THE END… or is it?

(Cue bloopers of Conan falling, screaming at pigeons, and Nicolas Cage dramatically searching for hidden tunnels.)
