Conan O’Brien is nerding out at Comic-Con, and by nerding out, we mean that he’s definitely hanging out with a bunch of A-listers. Last night, the late night host with the most had the pleasure of interviewing Jennifer Lawrence, Josh Hutcherson and Liam Hemsworth (aka the cast of “The Hunger Games: Mockingjay –– Part 2“) and Josh accidentally revealed that they’re planning another movie….
But wait, it gets better. Jennifer Lawrence sang Cher’s “Believe.” You’re welcome, world.
The Hunger Games: Mockingjay — Part 2″ — even when they’re trying to whistle a tune from their own movie.
During the “Mockingjay” panel at San Diego Comic-Con on Thursday, castmates Jennifer Lawrence, Josh Hutcherson, and Liam Hemsworth all tried — and adorably, hilariously failed — to replicate the series’s iconic Mockingjay whistle tone. But the trio, and the rest of their castmates on the panel, just could not nail the four-note melody, which was memorably used by Rue and Katniss in the first film, and brought back throughout the rest of the series as a Mockingjay rallying cry of sorts.
In video of the incident uploaded by Screen Crush, the actors all try numerous times to get the whistle down right, but to no avail. At one point, Hutcherson imitates crickets, which panel moderator Conan O’Brien joked was a frequent sound during his stand-up routines.
Hemsworth comes closest to whistling an actual song, but as X-Files” theme. Still in the science fiction genre, still not quite right.
Check out the hilarious video below, and try not to get too sad when you realize that this is the last “Hunger Games” panel at Comic-Con ever.
“The Hunger Games: Mockingjay — Part 2” hits theaters on November 20.

The cast of “The Hunger Games” franchise made their final cast appearance at Comic-Con International on Thursday ahead of the saga’s conclusion in November when “Mockingjay Part 2” hits theaters.
Jennifer Lawrence, Liam Hemsworth and Josh Hutcherson thrilled fans as they held court in Hall H as they released the film’s full trailer.
For those who were outside the convention walls, only a short teaser was released at the time. Still, the dramatic footage available gave rise to plenty of comment on social media.
Some of the highlights from the panel included the cast performing the “Hunger Games” whistle, only to sound eerily similar to “The X-Files’” opening anthem.
To no one’s surprise, the infectiously likable Lawrence charmed fans.
The actors entered the auditorium with a dramatic introduction as they walked on stage following a drumline of performers clad in all white and Conan O’Brien serving as emcee. An attendee called the late-night host “amazing.”
Watch “The Hunger Games – Mockingjay Part 2” teaser below:
Jennifer Lawrence (Katniss), Josh Hutcherson (Peeta), Liam Hemsworth (Gale) and company will be at Comic-Con 2015 (and on “Conan”) this week to promote the final “Hunger Games” movie. Eight new “Faces of the Revolution” posters were just released, with the characters looking like starters for Panem’s new soccer team and/or a red-and-white version of “Braveheart.”
Epic! These revolutionaries are rebels with a serious cause — the rebellion against President Snow (Donald Sutherland). “The Hunger Games: Mockingjay — Part 2” opens in theaters on November 20. You’ve already seen the fantastic trailer, right? Watch it again. Sigh. Love is a battlefield…
If you’re like us and value your sleep, you probably nodded off into your Ambien dreamland before the party started on post-prime time TV. Don’t worry; we’ve got you covered. Here’s the best of what happened last night on late night.
“True Detective’s” second season starts this Sunday on HBO, so obviously the cast is making the rounds on Late Night. You know what that means: The Tonight Show,” and Jimmy Fallon had them sit down for a game of True Confessions (basically Two Truths and a Lie, only a little different). What did we learn? For starters, Colin Farrell was a murder suspect. Oh….
Calling all “Orange Is The New Black” fans! Late Night” to talk about getting injured during a sex scene. Apparently she got “very excited,” took her shirt off, and scratched her face. Gives a whole new meaning to the phrase “please practice safe sex.”
Meanwhile, Jimmy Kimmel Live,” and proceeded to break out his massage skills. Don’t worry, he’s simply started a service where people can get massaged by their favorite celebs, no bigs.
Over on “Conan,” Josh Hutcherson mused on how he went to Bonnaroo and easily avoided fans due to how…well… high they all were. Apparently, his devotees are an easily influenced bunch, bless their hearts.
