(The screen flickers to life. The camera zooms in on Conan O’Brien, standing in front of a war-scarred yet resilient Lviv cityscape. Behind him, the golden domes of old churches gleam in the sun, while construction crews work tirelessly to restore damaged buildings. Despite everything, the streets are alive—locals sip coffee in outdoor cafés, musicians play on street corners, and life marches forward. Conan takes a deep breath, adjusts his jacket, and smirks at the camera.)
Conan O’Brien (grinning):
"Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to what is undoubtedly the most ambitious, most insane, and most 'I-can’t-believe-we’re-actually-doing-this' trip of my life!"
"That’s right, folks. We are in Ukraine. In 2025. During a war. Because apparently, I make bad decisions for a living."
(Pauses for dramatic effect, then gestures to the city behind him.)
"But let me tell you something—I didn’t come here to be reckless. I came here because this country isn’t just a war zone. It’s a place filled with people who refuse to stop living. A place where culture, music, and humor thrive even when the world is on fire. And if there’s one thing I believe in, it’s that laughter is the greatest act of defiance."
"So, I assembled an elite team of equally unhinged celebrities to join me on this adventure. And by ‘elite,’ I mean people who were either crazy enough to say yes or too polite to say no."
(The camera cuts to shots of the crew: Jack Black wildly strumming an air guitar in Rynok Square, Ryan Reynolds dramatically posing on a tank, Kristen Wiig failing to milk a goat, and Bill Murray somehow getting sworn in as an honorary mayor.)
Conan (continuing):
"Over the next five days, we’ll be traveling across Ukraine. We’ll explore historic cities, meet incredible people, survive the wild Carpathian Mountains, drink our weight in vodka (for cultural reasons), and—most importantly—show that this country is so much more than a battlefield."
"We’ll also be making complete fools of ourselves, because let’s be honest—what else did you expect?"
(Cue a montage: Conan failing to start a fire in the wilderness, Rebel Wilson dressed as a medieval queen, Paul Rudd casually outrunning everyone while climbing a mountain, and Serhiy Prytula explaining Ukrainian history while laughing at Conan’s pronunciation of “borshch.”)
Conan (dramatically):
"So, buckle up. Pack your best hiking boots, prepare for a lot of awkward history lessons, and maybe—just maybe—you’ll learn something along the way. Probably not from me, but someone else. Welcome to Conan O’Brien’s War-Time Ukrainian Adventure!"
(The screen fades to black as a plane engine roars, kicking off the journey.)
(Note: This is an imaginary conversation, a creative exploration of an idea, and not a real speech or event.)
Day 1: Arrival In Lviv - History, Resilience & Dark Humor
Scene 1: Arrival in Lviv - A City Standing Tall
The armored SUV hums as it crosses the border from Poland into Ukraine. The road is cracked in places, scars of past attacks visible on the pavement. The air carries a mix of gasoline, damp earth, and the faint scent of fresh bread from a roadside bakery stubbornly operating despite everything.
Conan O’Brien (peering out the window):"Alright, team, we made it. Lviv, the city of coffee, culture, and mild missile warnings. This is gonna be great!"
Jack Black (strumming an imaginary guitar):"Welcome to the war zone of dreams! I feel like we should all have theme music playing every time we enter a new country."
John Oliver (checking his phone):"Did you know Lviv has been bombed several times, yet this city STILL has a better espresso scene than London?"
Oleg Skrypka (Ukrainian rock legend, laughing):"That’s the Ukrainian way! We survive, we rebuild, and we drink better coffee than the rest of Europe."
Scene 2: Rynok Square - A Battle-Scarred Beauty
The heart of Lviv is alive with defiant energy. The cobblestone streets glisten after a fresh rain, reflecting the golden glow of street lamps. Despite damaged facades and boarded-up windows, locals sip coffee in outdoor cafés, chatting as if war is merely background noise. Somewhere, a street musician plays an old Soviet-era rock song on a battered guitar.
Mysterious Local Tour Guide (gesturing to the buildings):"You see that church tower? It lost part of its roof last year to a missile strike. But the priest still held Christmas Mass in the ruins. People came. That’s Ukraine."
Conan (eyes wide):"That is—objectively—the most badass thing I’ve ever heard. If my house lost a roof, I’d probably just move in with John."
John Oliver:"Over my bomb-sheltered body."
Scene 3: War Memorial Walk – The Price of Freedom
The group walks through a section of Lviv featuring “Before & After” war photo exhibits. The images are haunting—buildings once filled with laughter now rubble, families smiling in one photo, absent in the next. A candle flickers in the wind beside a makeshift memorial.
Kristen Wiig (gently touching a picture):"This is unreal. You see war in the news, but being here… It’s different."
Oleg Skrypka (nodding):"War is not just tanks and soldiers. It’s grandmothers baking bread when the air raid sirens are wailing. It’s kids playing soccer next to a crater."
Jack Black (quietly):"Damn. Alright, next album, I’m writing a song about this. Working title: ‘Resilience and Croissants.’"
Scene 4: Underground Resistance Café - A Speakeasy With a Story
Hidden beneath an unassuming bookstore, the café is dimly lit, its walls lined with Soviet-era propaganda posters, resistance art, and flickering candles. A waiter dressed in WWII-era Ukrainian partisan clothing serves drinks in tin cups.
Mysterious Local Tour Guide:"This used to be an actual resistance meeting point. Now, it’s a place where we mix history with good whiskey."
Conan (raising his tin cup):"To Lviv. To Ukraine. And to the fact that I can still make jokes in a war zone and not be arrested… yet."
As the group clinks cups, the sounds of laughter and distant air raid sirens blend in a strange but fitting symphony. The night is young, and the city refuses to be anything but alive.
Day 2: Music, Art, and War-Time Speakeasies
Scene 1: Lviv National Opera House – A Stage for Survival
The grand Lviv Opera House stands tall, its baroque facade still regal despite visible patches of recent repairs. Inside, chandeliers glisten defiantly, illuminating the stage where actors perform in front of an audience dressed in everything from military fatigues to elegant evening gowns. The war has not silenced the arts; if anything, it has made them louder.
Conan O’Brien (admiring the ceiling):
"This is the most dramatic place I’ve ever been in. If I don’t burst into an opera solo by accident, I’ll consider this trip a failure."
Ryan Reynolds (grinning):
"I feel like this is where James Bond would seduce someone, but instead of a suave spy, we sent in Conan."
Kristen Wiig (grabbing a prop sword and striking a pose):
"Welcome, survivors! Tonight’s performance: ‘Why War-Time Opera Needs More Jazz Hands.’”
Mysterious Local Tour Guide (gesturing around):
"Even in war, art continues. This theater never closed, not even during the worst days. When the power was out, they performed by candlelight. When bombs fell, the actors kept acting."
Oleg Skrypka (nodding proudly):
"Music is resistance. If they try to take away our culture, we sing louder."
The lights dim, and a soprano takes the stage. Her voice rises—haunting, powerful, defiant. The group falls silent, absorbing a moment that transcends war.
Scene 2: The Hidden War-Time Art Exhibit
Below the opera house, in what was once an emergency shelter, a hidden art gallery displays the works of civilians and soldiers alike. Charcoal sketches of war-torn streets, sculptures carved from missile fragments, and paintings blending sorrow with defiance line the dimly lit walls.
Conan (staring at a painting of a soldier hugging a child):
"I thought I came here to make jokes, but I think my soul just got hit by an emotional missile."
Ryan Reynolds (tilting his head at a piece made of melted bullets):
"I don’t know if I’m inspired or terrified. Maybe both?"
Kristen Wiig (pointing at a painting of a dog wearing a military vest):
"Okay, but can we talk about this dog? Because he looks like he has seen things."
A local artist approaches and explains that the dog in the painting is real—a bomb-sniffing hero named Patron, awarded a medal for his bravery. Conan immediately declares that Patron is now his personal hero.
Scene 3: Night at the Secret Speakeasy – The Spirit of Resistance
Through a barely marked door in an alleyway, the group enters a hidden speakeasy. The bar, built inside a former WWII bunker, is dimly lit by oil lamps. Old war radios crackle between songs, their static blending with the sound of glasses clinking. A live band plays Ukrainian folk-punk, the kind of music that makes you want to dance and start a revolution at the same time.
Mysterious Local Tour Guide (whispering as he leads them in):
"This place has seen multiple wars. Some say the ghosts of past revolutionaries still drink here."
Conan (dramatically looking around):
"Ghosts? Fantastic. Another audience I have to impress."
Ryan Reynolds (raising a glass of homemade horilka, Ukraine’s fiery vodka):
"To Ukraine. To survival. And to the best damn underground bar I’ve ever seen."
The band kicks into a faster song, and the night transforms into a blur of laughter, toasts, and war stories shared over strong drinks. At one point, Jack Black and Oleg Skrypka jump onto the stage and perform an impromptu punk-folk duet so wild that the entire bar erupts in cheers.
Despite the war outside, inside these walls, life refuses to be anything but alive.
Day 3: Survival Skills in the Carpathian Mountains – Conan vs. the Wild
(Because nothing says “vacation” like learning how to survive in a war zone.)
Scene 1: The Road to the Mountains – "Is This a Road or a Battlefield?"
The armored SUVs rumble along a winding mountain road, dodging potholes that look like they were made by either artillery shells or very aggressive mountain goats. The air is crisp, carrying the scent of pine, damp earth, and distant woodsmoke. Despite the road’s rough condition, the Carpathians are breathtaking—vast, mist-covered peaks that feel untouched by time… if you ignore the military checkpoints.
Conan O’Brien (bouncing violently in his seat):
"I’ve been on roller coasters smoother than this. Is the road actively trying to kill us?"
The Rock (completely unfazed, sipping tea from a thermos):
"This is fine. You should try driving in Los Angeles at rush hour."
Paul Rudd (calmly reading a book):
"I don’t even feel the bumps. But maybe that’s because I stopped aging 20 years ago."
Dzidzio (Ukrainian comedian-musician, playing an accordion in the backseat):
"If the road doesn’t kill us, my driving will."
The group erupts in laughter—until they realize Dzidzio is the one driving.
Scene 2: War-Time Survival Camp – “Eat This or Be Eaten”
The group arrives at a hidden survival training camp, run by a former Ukrainian special forces soldier who looks like he could wrestle a bear and win. The setting is remote—a deep valley surrounded by towering pine trees, with camouflaged tents blending into the landscape.
Mysterious Local Guide (aka Ex-Special Forces Instructor) (gruffly):
"Today, you learn to survive in the wild. Tomorrow, maybe you will live. Maybe you won’t. We’ll see."
Conan (leaning over to Paul Rudd):
"This is the most hardcore summer camp I’ve ever attended."
The Rock (cracking his knuckles):
"I’m ready. Let’s go."
Kristen Wiig (wide-eyed):
"Wait, we actually have to do things? I thought this was, like, a demonstration."
Survival Training Begins
🔥 Fire Making – “How Not to Freeze to Death”
- The instructor demonstrates how to start a fire using only a flint and sheer determination.
- Conan tries, accidentally sets his sleeve on fire, and immediately panics.
- The Rock effortlessly builds a bonfire the size of a small house in under five minutes.
- Paul Rudd, somehow, lights a fire just by smiling at the wood.
🔪 Knife & Trap Skills – “This Is Probably Illegal Back Home”
- They learn to set up simple hunting traps.
- Conan makes one so useless that a squirrel walks up, takes the bait, and leaves a thank-you note.
- Kristen Wiig spends 15 minutes trying to convince a rabbit to walk into the trap voluntarily.
- Dzidzio gets distracted and builds a chair instead.
🍄 Edible vs. Poisonous Plants – “Try It and Find Out”
- The instructor shows which berries and mushrooms are safe to eat.
- Paul Rudd eats a handful without hesitation.
- Conan, suspicious: "How are you still alive?"
- Paul shrugs. "I have no idea."
Scene 3: Hiking Hoverla – "We Climb or We Die Trying"
After training, they begin the trek up Hoverla, the highest peak in Ukraine. The air is thin, and the path is steep, but the view from the top is rumored to be so stunning it makes people cry.
The Rock (hiking effortlessly, barely breaking a sweat):
"This is nice. Like leg day, but scenic."
Conan (gasping for air):
"I see… the light… tell my family… I died heroically."
Kristen Wiig (also struggling):
"Why did no one tell me climbing involves going up?"
Dzidzio (pausing to take selfies every five minutes):
"I’ll be famous for this. ‘Man Who Conquered Hoverla (With Minimum Effort).’”
Despite Conan's dramatic suffering, they reach the summit. The view is unreal—rolling green mountains, mist swirling like something out of a fantasy novel. The war feels a world away up here.
Paul Rudd (grinning, completely fine):
"This is amazing. Also, I could do this all day."
Conan (collapsing onto a rock):
"Of course you could. Of course. You’re Paul Freaking Rudd."
Scene 4: Campfire Stories – War, Legends, and Laughter
As night falls, the group gathers around a bonfire, the flames crackling as smoke drifts into the star-filled sky. The instructor shares real war survival stories, and Dzidzio sings an old Hutsul folk song—haunting, beautiful, carrying the weight of history in its melody.
Mysterious Local Guide (staring into the fire):
"This land has seen many wars. Empires came and fell, but the mountains remain. The people remain."
The moment is solemn—until Conan accidentally falls backward off his log, sending sparks flying.
Kristen Wiig (laughing):
"Well. That was poetic until that happened."
The Rock (grinning):
"At least we know Conan isn’t ghost material yet."
The group toasts to survival, adventure, and the madness of climbing mountains for fun.
Somewhere in the distance, a wolf howls. Or maybe it’s just Dzidzio practicing his singing. Either way, the night is alive.
Day 4: War-Zone Volunteering & Hutsul Magic
(A day of giving back, unexpected mystical encounters, and the weirdest charity event ever.)
Scene 1: Arrival at the War Relief Center – “Time to Do Some Good”
The morning is colder than usual, the sky an iron gray. The group arrives at a relief center in a small village on the outskirts of the Carpathians, where volunteers are repairing homes, distributing food, and offering medical aid to those displaced by the war. The air is thick with the scent of fresh bread, woodsmoke, and damp earth.
Mysterious Local Guide (motioning toward the volunteers):
"This village was shelled last year. Most of these people lost their homes, but they refuse to leave. They rebuild, one brick at a time."
Conan O’Brien (clapping his hands):
"Alright! Let’s get to work. I’m ready to build some houses and probably break some in the process!"
Bill Murray (adjusting his beanie):
"As long as there’s a coffee break every five minutes, I’m in."
Maya Rudolph (eyeing the toolkits nervously):
"Okay, but just to clarify… we’re not expected to be good at this, right?"
Scene 2: Conan’s Construction Catastrophe
The group splits into tasks—some laying bricks, others painting, and some handling logistics. Unsurprisingly, Conan is assigned to construction, which turns out to be a terrible idea.
Conan (holding a hammer):
"They gave me a tool. This feels like a mistake."
Bill Murray (watching skeptically):
"Try not to bring the entire house down, alright?"
Conan (attempting to hammer a nail, but instead hitting his thumb):
"I immediately regret this decision."
Meanwhile, Maya Rudolph and Kristen Wiig are on painting duty. Within ten minutes, they have managed to:
- Paint each other’s faces instead of the house.
- Turn the walls into an abstract mural of what can only be described as ‘chaotic optimism.’
- Somehow convince the villagers that this is all intentional.
Scene 3: The Strangest Charity Event Ever
After a long morning of volunteering, the group is invited to a spontaneous charity fundraiser—Ukrainian style. In an effort to raise funds for medical supplies, the locals have organized a mix of traditional Hutsul performances, food competitions, and a livestock auction.
Conan (watching as a man showcases a massive goat for auction):
"I never thought I’d say this, but I think I’m about to bid on livestock."
Maya Rudolph (whispering):
"Do it. I dare you."
Conan wins a goat (accidentally), Jack Black improvises a folk-metal song about goats, and Bill Murray somehow gets elected honorary mayor of the village for the day.
Scene 4: Hutsul Mysticism – “Wait… is this real?”
As the sun sets, the group is led deep into the forest, where an old Hutsul woman awaits in a small wooden hut. She is draped in layers of embroidered fabric, her sharp eyes twinkling under candlelight. The room is filled with the scent of burning herbs and old books.
Mysterious Local Guide (whispering):
"She is a molfarka—a traditional Hutsul mystic. People say she can see the past, the future… and your worst mistakes."
Conan (nervous):
"Oh great, so basically my entire career?"
The molfarka reads their fortunes using ancient symbols, coffee grounds, and an actual wolf skull. Some highlights:
- Bill Murray’s future is “an eternal loop of unexpected chaos.”
- Kristen Wiig is “destined to lead an army of geese.”
- Conan’s energy is described as “like a lost spirit who took a wrong turn but refuses to ask for directions.”
The group walks out feeling both enlightened and deeply confused.
Scene 5: Bonfire Night – War Stories, Music, and Vodka
The night ends by a massive bonfire, where villagers, soldiers, and volunteers gather. Oleg Skrypka plays a slow, soulful song on his guitar as the fire crackles, sending embers into the night sky. There’s laughter, storytelling, and a deep sense of unity.
Mysterious Local Guide (staring into the flames):
"Even in war, people find joy. You cannot destroy a people who know how to laugh in the darkest times."
Conan (raising a glass):
"To Ukraine. To resilience. And to the fact that I now own a goat."
The group laughs, drinks, and dances under the stars—a moment of peace amidst the chaos of war.
Day 5: Uzhhorod Castles & The Final Celebration
(Because nothing says ‘end of a war-time vacation’ like ghost stories, royal cosplay, and Conan almost getting arrested.)
Scene 1: The Journey to Uzhhorod – “Are We There Yet?”
The convoy weaves through the misty valleys of the Carpathians, heading west toward the historic city of Uzhhorod. The mountain roads have fewer craters (which is an upgrade), but checkpoints and military presence remain constant. The scent of wet pine, damp soil, and distant chimney smoke fills the crisp morning air.
Conan O’Brien (stretching in the SUV):
"Alright, last day of the trip! Let’s go out with a bang—preferably not a literal one."
Steve Carell (staring out the window):
"This whole experience has been amazing, but I still don’t understand how you managed to buy a goat yesterday."
Rebel Wilson (snacking on dried fish she got from a villager):
"More importantly, how are we getting it through customs?"
Serhiy Prytula (Ukrainian comedian & TV host, laughing):
"Oh, no worries. In Ukraine, everything is negotiable. Except the war. That, we take seriously."
Scene 2: Uzhhorod Castle – The Most Haunted Place in Ukraine
The castle looms over the city, its stone walls whispering of centuries of battles, royalty, and—most importantly—ghost stories. A chilling wind sweeps through the courtyard, rattling old iron gates. The distant clang of a blacksmith’s hammer adds to the eerie atmosphere.
Mysterious Local Guide (a Castle Ghost Expert) (smiling ominously):
"Many say Uzhhorod Castle is the most haunted place in Ukraine. The ghosts of knights, monks, and betrayed lovers wander these halls."
Conan (clutching his jacket tighter):
"Great. If I see a ghost, I’m immediately blaming Steve Carell."
Steve Carell (deadpan):
"That seems fair."
The group explores dark corridors, medieval dungeons, and halls lined with centuries-old weapons. Suddenly, a gust of wind slams a door shut behind them.
Rebel Wilson (yelping):
"NOPE. I AM NOT DYING IN A CASTLE. I’M NOT A VICTORIAN CHILD."
Serhiy Prytula (grinning):
"Relax, that’s just the wind. …Or is it?"
Scene 3: Royal Cosplay – Because Why Not?
Deep inside the castle, they discover an exhibit where visitors can dress up in medieval armor and noble attire. Within minutes, chaos unfolds.
- Conan insists on wearing the heaviest knight armor but immediately regrets it.
- Rebel Wilson dresses as a feisty medieval queen, complete with a fur cape and fake scepter.
- Steve Carell accidentally gets stuck in chainmail leggings.
- Serhiy Prytula challenges Conan to a fake duel—which Conan loses in record time.
Conan (on the ground, groaning):
"I think my dignity just left my body."
Scene 4: War-Time Winemaking – “Drunk History, But Real”
After a long day of ghost hunting and sword-fighting, the group visits a historic wine cellar that survived multiple wars. Hidden beneath Uzhhorod, it was used to secretly make and store wine, even during Soviet rule.
Mysterious Local Guide (holding up a bottle):
"This wine was aged in a bunker. If it can survive air raids, so can we."
Steve Carell (sipping thoughtfully):
"I feel like I’m drinking history. And also… maybe some very old dirt?"
Rebel Wilson (already tipsy):
"If my ancestors didn’t drink this, they should have."
After several glasses, the group decides to film their own “Drunk History: Ukraine Edition”, where:*
- Conan tries to explain the history of the castle but keeps getting distracted.
- Rebel dramatically reenacts a 14th-century betrayal using only a wine bottle and a napkin.
- Steve Carell does a serious monologue about medieval warfare but can’t stop giggling.
Scene 5: The Final Night – A Toast to Resilience
Their last night in Ukraine takes place on a rooftop overlooking Uzhhorod, with the distant glow of the Carpathians in the background. The air is filled with the aroma of grilled meat, fresh bread, and strong Ukrainian coffee. Soldiers, volunteers, locals, and their new friends join for a final celebration.
Serhiy Prytula (raising a glass):
"You came here during a war. Most people wouldn’t. But you saw Ukraine not as a country in ruins, but as a country that refuses to be ruined."
Mysterious Local Guide:
"War is not just about destruction. It is about resistance. About survival. And about laughter in the face of fear."
Conan (smiling):
"Well, if laughing is part of survival, I think we did our job."
The group clinks their glasses, celebrating resilience, adventure, and the insanity of their trip.
As they sit under the starry Ukrainian sky, Rebel Wilson leans over to Conan.
Rebel Wilson (grinning):
"Soooo… what’s the plan for smuggling that goat out?"
The night ends in laughter, music, and a sense of deep appreciation for a country that, even in war, refuses to stop living.
inal Reflection – "What Ukraine Taught Me"
(The camera fades in on Conan O’Brien, sitting on a rooftop terrace in Uzhhorod. Behind him, the night sky stretches endlessly, dotted with stars. The distant glow of the Carpathian Mountains looms on the horizon, while below, the city hums with life—laughter, music, and the clinking of glasses. The war is still out there, but in this moment, so is something just as powerful: resilience.)
Conan O’Brien (smiling thoughtfully at the camera):
"Well, folks, it’s been five days. Five days of war, chaos, adventure, near-death experiences, and some of the most ridiculous moments of my career."
(Cuts to a montage: Conan failing to start a fire, nearly getting trampled by his own goat, Steve Carell stuck in medieval chainmail, and Jack Black screaming while sliding down a muddy mountain.)
"But somehow—against all odds—we survived. And in the process, I learned something that I didn’t expect."
(Conan leans forward, resting his elbows on the table.)
"Before I came here, Ukraine was a place I only saw in headlines. A place of war. A place of destruction. A place where people were suffering. And yes—that’s true. But it’s not the whole truth."
"Because what I found here was life. A country that refuses to be broken. People who wake up every morning, knowing their world could collapse in an instant, and yet… they keep going. They laugh. They play music. They drink coffee that is, quite frankly, better than anything I’ve ever had in America. They rebuild what is destroyed, again and again, without hesitation."
"I met war survivors who cracked jokes like seasoned stand-up comedians. I watched artists paint over bombed-out buildings, turning ruins into something beautiful. I drank homemade wine in an underground bunker-turned-bar and listened to songs that have survived centuries of occupation and struggle."
"I saw a country that is still standing—not just because of its soldiers, but because of its spirit."
(Conan exhales, looking out over the city.)
"And you know what? That changed me. I don’t say that lightly, because let’s be honest—I’m usually too busy embarrassing myself to have deep thoughts. But this trip made me realize that resilience isn’t just about surviving—it’s about living. It’s about refusing to let the worst of humanity take away what makes us human in the first place."
(The camera pans to the group: Jack Black laughing with local musicians, Kristen Wiig dancing with villagers, The Rock teaching kids how to flex their biceps, and Serhiy Prytula telling a joke that makes the entire rooftop explode in laughter.)
Conan (raising his glass):
"So, to Ukraine—to its strength, its people, and the fact that somehow, in the middle of a war, they managed to show a clueless American talk-show host the true meaning of resilience."
"Thank you. And if you ever need me again… maybe wait until there’s a ceasefire."
(The camera fades to black as the group bursts into cheers, the sound of music and laughter echoing into the Ukrainian night.)
