Conan O’Brien is taking his late night show on the high road to Haiti to prove President Trump wrong.
The talk show host said Sunday night that he is jetting to the Caribbean nation in response to Trump’s racist insult declaring the country, and others, a “shithole.”
While he is there, O’Brien will tape an hour-long “Conan Without Borders” episode.
“Still reeling from @realDonaldTrump’s very negative Yelp review of Haiti, which means I’ll love it,” O’Brien tweeted. “Headed to Haiti later this week to explore and make some new friends. Stay tuned for my report.”
It was not immediately known when the “Conan” episode will air.
O’Brien’s trip will likely mock Trump for recoiling at the thought of providing immigration protections to people from several countries, including Haiti, during a meeting last week at the Oval Office. Trump defended his disparaging remarks Sunday by declaring himself “the least racist person.”
The 54-year-old comic visited Mexico under similar circumstances after Trump took office in 2017, using the Republican’s campaign pledge to build a border wall as fuel for satire.
He hired an all-Mexican crew to tape the special episode.
