Conan learns life at a Buddhist Temple is a little different than he imagined.

We’re loving this funny clip of Conan O’Brien at a Buddhist Temple in Korea.

O’Brien is accompanied by Steven Yeun of The Walking Dead. After being distracted by wind chimes, the group goes inside Bokwangsa Buddhist Temple and the monk tries to show the pair how to properly play the fish-drum, but they can’t quite get the hang of it.

Then they moved outside to help shovel snow and it turned into a snowball fight.

Head to TeamCoCo to see the clip.

A big thanks to my #ConanKorea crew & all who helped us on our incredible trip (bonus points if you can pick out the 2 members of our security detail).
