As Lynch’s love of Skittles is well-known, O’Brien set up an “end zone” full of the fruity candy and encouraged the football player to jump in backwards — which happens to be Lynch’s signature move. Lynch was more than keen and, unsurprisingly, O’Brien was only too happy to join him. ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/3941216/marshawn-lynch-skittles-conan/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/3941216/marshawn-lynch-skittles-conan/"},"headline":"Watch Marshawn Lynch Prove Just How Much He Loves Skittles for Conan O'Brien","datePublished":"2015-06-30T11:42:09.000Z","dateModified":"2026-04-13T07:21:37.984Z","description":"The late-night host made the running back's dream come true","url":"https://time.com/3941216/marshawn-lynch-skittles-conan/","keywords":["Newsfeed","Television","celebrity"],"thumbnailUrl":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blt80d8f33c6b857d63/698859112dce01b5e19e4694/marshawn-lynch-skittles.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","author":[{"@type":"Person","name":"TIME Staff","jobTitle":null,"url":"https://time.com/author/time-staff/"}],"articleSection":"","image":[{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blt80d8f33c6b857d63/698859112dce01b5e19e4694/marshawn-lynch-skittles.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","width":1200,"height":675,"headline":"marshawn lynch skittles","caption":"marshawn lynch skittles","creditText":"Christian Petersen—Getty Images","representativeOfPage":true}],"publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"Time","url":"https://time.com/","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://time.com/images/logo.png","width":528,"height":156},"foundingDate":"March 3, 1923","sameAs":["https://www.facebook.com/time","https://www.instagram.com/time/?hl=en","https://twitter.com/time","https://www.pinterest.com/timemagazine"]}},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"item":{"@id":"/tag/time-section-newsfeed/","name":"Newsfeed"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"item":{"@id":"https://time.com/3941216/marshawn-lynch-skittles-conan/","name":"Watch Marshawn Lynch Prove Just How Much He Loves Skittles for Conan O'Brien"}}]}] ```
