Conan O'Brien already tackled Tinder with Dave Franco, and now he's mastering Grindr with Billy Eichner. Touting himself as a "ginger sugar daddy," an excited O'Brien experienced all the highs and lows of the app, from taking the perfect profile photo to planning your life with a person you've only messaged once. While he didn't exactly hit it off with the guy he met at the oh-so-romantic Vons parking lot, at least he got to drive there in a van emblazoned with Cher and Liza Minnelli. Watch the rather risqué video below. —Catherine Garcia
