Patton Oswalt’s Surprising Mongolian Ancestry | CONAN on TBS

[Yanusun]

Fun fact: The Mongolian Empire as it was in about 1280 is the largest empire that has ever existed. Twice as big as Rome at its peak. It stretched from Poland to the Koreas.

As a Mongolian 🇲🇳, I want to welcome you to our DNA family, distant cuz.

[thesqueegee]

me too. pasty white with 1% asian from daddy khan

[froehlic]

Such a funny dude. I'm glad to see he's still doing so well after the unfortunate passing of his wife.

[mckymcobvious]

the same thing happened to my dad... we figured we were 100% northern European, but we got a spike in Mongolia

[afasdfas]

Many Europeans, especially in Bavaria and Austria have also Avar DNA from Early Middle Ages. Avar people were originating also from Mongolia and throughout centuries assimilated in various German tribes surrounding them in Central Europe

[alexc]

I got loyalty, got royalty inside my DNA

[unitedwestandevr]

Why can't he have his own late night show. My life would be complete. 😂😂

[capribreezee]

I literally bought the kit from 23andMe because of Patton. Like there was a survey when I bought it that asked, "Where did you hear about us?" and I wish there was an option where I could type Patton's name

[HaleXF]

Man, he's on tour now. I really wanna go see him. Ugh, I hate being poor.

[MiotaLee]

I'm a swede and have a little bit Genghis Kahn in my blood too. Maybe I'm related to Patton Oswalt? O.o

[arbknight]

I can never watch Marco Polo the same way again

(Yes I know it's Kubla! But still....)

[CardShopReality]

Patton is so funny! Plus he's a comic collector, I almost thought he was going to do the 'sword of gary blevins' routine from his stand up act. haha. Hope to collaborate with him one day on some comic book related topics.

[lynseymoffat]

I'd be really interested to try this too! See if there's a 'little bit of Genghis' in there...

[EthanHall.]

So good to see he's still having fun and making jokes after his wife's death.

People are literally so stupid if they think that they are all from genghis Khan, that is literally such a false historical fact. If people actually bothered to study history instead of believing everything they hear they would know that’s not true. Fair enough if he is part Mongolian, but that doesn’t automatically mean he’s related to him lmao. Its rare for even Mongolians to be related to him so the fact that people think they are that special has me cringing. Also the heritage company or whatever is stupid for not doing their research before informing their customers
