In a recent Twitter post, Ohanian reacted to the long-running gag between actor Paul Rudd, and former TBS late-night show host Conan O’Brien. The Internet entrepreneur tweeted, “I really appreciate the dedication to this joke.”

To give some context, Rudd recently came to the Conan O’Brien podcast called ‘Conan O’Brien Needs a Friend’. During that podcast, the actor started describing some ideas about a new project and actually told Conan about a new clip. However, Rudd again pulled the prank on Conan and the host had no idea about it.

“Oh for Christ’s sake!… Why? Why! You can’t do this on a podcast! That’s why I didn’t see it coming! It’s a visual joke!” Conan said as he started laughing. 

Later, Rudd revealed that none of the things he said about the new project was real. Notably, Rudd started this joke on Conan O’Brien’s show back in 2004. Since then, the joke has been continuing, and surprisingly every time Conan fell for it. It seems like Ohanian has also been following the joke for a long time as he reacted on Twitter.
