Oscars Joke Writer Won $50 Bet Over Conan O’Brien’s Kendrick Lamar-Drake Joke: ‘I Also Wrote the “Conclave” Joke About the Catholic Church’
Comedian and writer Skyler Higley was behind Conan O'Brien's viral Oscar joke about Kendrick Lamar and Drake's beef.
The staff also included Amberia Allen, José Arroyo, Josh Comers, Dan Cronin, Jessie Gaskell, Berkley Johnson, Ian Karmel, Brian Kiley, Laurie Kilmartin, Carol Leifer, Jon Macks, Matt O’Brien, Agathe Panaretos and Mike Sweeney. At the midway point of the Oscars ceremony, O’Brien walked out on stage and joked: “We’re halfway through the show, which means it’s time for Kendrick Lamar to come out and call Drake a pedophile. The writer also confronted those asking “why don’t you try to call out the white pedophiles?” by writing: “Well I also wrote the conclave joke about the Catholic Church try again.”
