In the aftermath of the shocking court ruling sentencing Danny Masterson to an unexpected 30 years to life imprisonment for numerous sexual assaults, a past clip from a late-night show made a resurgence on social media platforms. Admittedly, the timing was no coincidence.

The haunting specter of the 2004 video originates from a well-known show, Late Night with Conan O'Brien. In the clip, the Court, famous for sitcoms like "That 70's Show," found itself under the spotlight, not for any legal matters, but for a rather insignificant conversation - his lack of a Long Island accent.

However, one might say the triviality of the accent was a decoy to the bombshell Masterson was about to drop. Much to everyone's surprise, he veered off-script, sharing an indecent anecdote about a friend that left a noticeable grimace on O'Brien’s face. The rest of the chat continued in an undercurrent of uncomfortable confusion and a thick air of awkwardness.

As social media does, the resurrection of an old late-night banter with its peculiar timing offered an incongruous source of pleasure derived from the awkwardness. The once-forgotten video rapidly gained much online traction, and within the space of just a few hours, it had gone viral, amassing an astonishing 2.

6 million views. This bizarre occurrence just goes to show how swiftly things can shift under the spotlight of public scrutiny.
