We don’t have a plot yet for Disney and Pixar’s Toy Story 5, so we don’t know who any of the new major characters will be, but at the very least we have confirmation of the first new character to be revealed overall: Smarty Pants, and he’ll be voiced by podcaster, talk show, travel show and Oscars host Conan O’Brien. The casting was announced at Disney’s Licensing Expo presentation, which O’Brien then made a video for on his socials. “These films are amazing. I can’t believe this.” he said. The podcast host joked that his role is far better than that of Woody or Buzz, roles which he also joked he tried seizing: “It’s the best character of them all.”
The former Saturday Night Live and Simpsons writer, and host of Late Night and Conan, currently of Conan O’Brien Needs A Friend and Conan O’Brien Must Go has made numerous appearances as himself elsewhere across film and television, including two return appearances on The Simpsons and once on Futurama, and many more, but as far as playing characters, his films include Batman: The Dark Knight Returns Part 2 as David Endocrine, The Lego Batman Movie as The Riddler, Glaxxon 5000 in The Mitchells vs. the Machines, Andy Warhol in Weird: The Al Yankovic Story, Farley in Please Don't Destroy: The Treasure of Foggy Mountain, and his most regular TV character, Clarence on TBS and Adult Swim’s (written off) Final Space, an animated series he executive produced.
