WWE is an essential business in Florida. They are not alone. Any nationally broadcast show performing on closed set is also deemed essential. Conan O’Brien’s show would be welcomed to film in Florida as well, but he’d probably rather stay out of the Sunshine State.
During a recent episode of his quarantine show, CoCo took a pretty good shot at WWE over their essential business status. He considered it a tribute, but he had a pretty good time taking some shots in the process.
Before the hit on WWE took place, Conan had several one-liners about current events. One of those jokes included something along the lines of knowing COVID-19 came through Europe because it is a “terrible tipper.” Our food service friends will get that joke. Also, we hope everyone is safely back to work soon.
O’Brien then ran a montage which took a mocking look at WWE’s status as an essential business. It is certainly an outsider’s perspective on the situation, but it’s worth a watch to see how WWE is viewed outside of the wrestling bubble.
