Arnold Schwarzenegger?has had an illustrious career both in?bodybuilding?and Hollywood. He is a seven-time Mr. Olympia winner and a blockbuster comedy and action film hero. The 76-year-old knew his goals clearly back in his early days. He even managed to?bet everything on the movie ?Twins??and made the movie a big hit. Arnie?s comic timing is impeccable, just like his muscular physique.
His hilarious side was again seen recently on Conan O?Brien and Team Coco?s podcast. The Austrian Oak came to promote his new book ?Be Useful: Seven Tools for Life?,?and the conversation went to Saturday Night Live, where Arnie had made everyone laugh in the past.

In the recent episode of the?Conan O’Brien Needs a Friend?podcast, Arnold heard O’Brien & Co.’s line reading from a shelved script and happily approved of the skit. He hilariously pointed out some of the dialogue from the script of?Hans and Franz,?and the hosts of the podcast were laughing like anything.
Conan could not stop his laughter when Arnie recalled the script line by line. Schwarzenegger approved of the humor that was made about him. He encouraged the late-night show host to make a film about Dana Carvey and Kevin Nealon’s?Saturday Night Live?bodybuilder brothers, which was inspired by him. Arnie admitted,?“It was so funny. There’s no comedy movie, to be honest with you, that I have laughed that much [at] than just listening to you.”
Hans and Franz?made their debut in SNL on season 13 and appeared in a recurring skit named?“Pumping Up With Hans & Franz.??Arnold himself made two cameos in the skit in 1988 and 1991. In the podcast, Conan also shared how they brought out a lifesize cutout of him in boxers, and Arnie had to react to that. The method actor and bodybuilder decided to give his best and asked the producer if he could act like throwing up during that part of the skit.
The?Terminator?actor said,??One of the things I remember was that your producer or showrunner, whatever they call it in those late-night shows, told me not to throw up.? Everyone burst out laughing after hearing this. The Austrian Oak continued,??Wouldn?t it be great if I could just throw up? I said because I will find something in his body that will be throw-upable.??Unfortunately, the producer refused because it was a family show, and according to the producer, people might be??grossed out.??The bodybuilding champion and former governor of California always appreciates other people’s humor, as was visible in his appreciation of Dax Shepard.

Shepard had the honor of going on a motorcycle ride with Arnold. While they were having breakfast, he also had the privilege of impersonating Arnie in front of him. Perfectly executing the impersonation, he revealed what Arnie said:??You know Dax I?ve seen Without The Paddle, and I?ve seen the Punk?d. You?re hilarious.??
Surprisingly, a week later, Arnie called him up and requested that Shepard include his impersonation in all of the comedy shows. The?FUBAR?actor was more than happy if Shepard would impersonate him in his comedy shows. Arnold has been known to be an intelligent and humorous man. He has shown his hilarious side more than once.
