Conan O'Brien films scenes for 'Sanggang Dikit FR' with Dennis Trillo, Jennylyn Mercado
Hollywood comedian Conan O'Brien will make his teleserye debut soon with a guest appearance in the TV series Sanggang-Dikit FR, which stars Dennis Trillo and Jennylyn Mercado.
On his social media accounts, Dennis delighted his followers as he shared some behind-the-scenes pictures of himself, Jennylyn, and Conan on the set.
One pictured showed Jennylyn in her police officer costume appearing to kick Conan right in the stomach. Another photo showed the actor being escorted by Dennis with his hands behind his back as Jennylyn aims a gun at him.
"Hindi po AI ito, totoong nakasama namin siya," Dennis captioned his post. "What a day!"
In an interview on Saksi, Conan had a chance to tease what his role would be in the show.
"They sent us the script, very good writing, loved it. They seem to understand that I'm a silly fool. They made me a madman, which is, they beat me up. The actors are so good and they made me very welcome here," he said.
Dennis and Jennylyn similarly expressed their joy at the chance of sharing the screen with Conan.
"Saya, grabe, parang panaginip. Hindi ako makapaniwala na nag-guest siya dito. Kaya thank you, Conan. It's an honor," he said.
Jennylyn added, "Ang sarap na pakiramdam na siyempre parte kami ng pinunta dito ni Conan sa Pilipinas."
While the comedian has only been in the Philippines for a few days now, he has nothing but good things to say about his visit.
"From the moment we landed, everybody has been so gracious, so polite, the people of the Philippines are very funny and warm-hearted and they have great ideas. I definitely want to come back, if you'll have me," he highlighted.
Conan came to the country to film for the upcoming third season of his travel series Conan O’Brien Must Go. The show follows him visiting fans he previously spoke with virtually through his podcast, Conan O’Brien Needs a Fan.
The series premiered in 2024, with the first season featuring trips to Norway, Argentina, Thailand, and Ireland. The second season, released in May 2025, saw the former late-night talk show host traveling to Spain, New Zealand, and Austria.
Known for hosting Late Night with Conan O’Brien and The Tonight Show with Conan O’Brien, the comedian gained international recognition for his wit and distinctive comedic style.
