Yes, Nick Kroll's Brian La Croix character is based on Justin Beiber, and a less-famous singer named Austin Mahone, Kroll said on Tuesday night's Conan. And with Bieber getting his very own roast, "Brian Le Croix is getting roasted in Canada, but in Canada it's called a 'dressing down," Kroll told Conan O'Brien. "They are going to be so polite to him." Kroll also talked about Señor Feeture and Bobby Bottleservice, who isn't actually based on one real person — but who appears to have come to life on this season's Survivor. And Kroll has a clip. Which you can watch below. —Peter Weber
