Schwarzenegger expressed his amusement at a previous Conan episode where the host recited lines from an unproduced Hans and Franz screenplay. “It was so funny,” Schwarzenegger said. “There’s no comedy movie, to be honest with you, that I have laughed that much [at] than just listening to you. It was fantastic. It was so well written and I hope they do it. I really hope they do it. You still can do it.”The popular “Pumping Up With Hans & Franz” sketches began in 1987 when Carvey and Nealon were inspired by watching a televised interview with Schwarzenegger while the comedians were on tour. Donning fake muscles under sweatshirts and speaking in phony Austrian accents, the duo claimed to be Schwarzenegger’s cousins and taunted the audience for not being as strong as them.
