Will Ferrell honored his word and did indeed shave off Conan O'Brien's beard about an hour ago. This was definitely a great marketing ploy but now Conan looks like a nerdier, lankier Ron Howard circa "Happy Days" times. This story was so important that the Associated Press covered it:
Will Ferrell finally triumphed over his arch enemy: Conan O'Brien's beard.
Ferrell culminated a weeks-long lead-up to Monday's episode of "Conan" by shaving the late-night host's beard. A giddy and determined Ferrell guest-starred on the program, promoted as the "Beardpocalypse."
While guzzling Barbicide, Ferrell trimmed O'Brien with clippers, which he named "Excalibeard." He had promised O'Brien that the razor "sleeps for no one."
Ferrell did a haphazard job of it, but the shave was finished off-camera. It was the first time O'Brien gave up the beard he grew after NBC jettisoned him from the "Tonight Show."
Seeing O'Brien's fresh-faced mug again, Ferrell turned remorseful, saying he had made a "terrible mistake."
