Conan O’Brien Art Tribute Video | Departed Talk Show Host Recreated with Cheetos

Conan O’Brien may have left our television screens, but he hasn’t left our hearts. The dearly departed late night TV host is recreated using Cheetos.

It might seem like a strange medium at first, but as it all comes together it seems a perfect choice for the flame-haired funnyman.

For those playing at home, this tasty piece took more than 50 bags of assorted Cheetos, or nearly 2000 individual cheesy snacks. A little glue and varnish hold the treats in place.

I’m always impressed when artists take something as mundane as Cheetos and turn them into an artwork like this. I have a feeling Conan would be flattered!
