There's a lot of full-frontal male nudity in the movie The Overnight, but it's not technically nudity — stars Adam Scott and Jason Schwartzman are wearing prosthetic penises, they told Conan O'Brien on Thursday night's Conan. And if you're uncomfortable with discussions of fake male genitalia, this clip isn't for you. For Schwartzman and Scott, though, it was a great experience.
"We were nervous about wearing them," Scott said, "but then once we had them on, we were, like, weirdly comfortable with them on, and kind of sauntered around the set with them on." Schwartzman got the, um, long end of the stick, so he was particularly happy with the prosthesis — so much so, he texted a photo to his wife. If you want to hear about how his daughter's principal came to see that photo, are curious about the mechanics of prosthetic genitalia, or just want a good laugh, watch below. Peter Weber
