Tons of viewers quickly picked up on the moment.<\/span> One NBC\/Peacock viewer quipped online, \u201cwhy\u2019d they show queen latifah after conan gray\u2019s macy\u2019s thanksgiving parade performance like she was his mom.\u201d Another post celebrating the reaction read, \u201cqueen latifah being gagged over conan\u2019s performance i said i know that\u2019s right,\u201d with a third excitedly declaring, \u201cCONAN MADE QUEEN LATIFAH CRY.\u201d<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n
