Ed Helms confused by 'baby shampoo company' Johnson & Johnson offering COVID vaccine

Ed Helms received the one-shot Johnson & Johnson COVID-19 vaccine, which recently had its pause lifted after blood clotting concerns earlier this month, and luckily did not experience any worrisome side effects.

But the 47-year-old actor was initially confused.

"It's weird. That's the shampoo company, right?" Helms said on Late Night with Seth Meyers. "Baby shampoo—that's my association with Johnson & Johnson. That's all I think of, so to think the baby shampoo company is helping save the planet is a little bit of a cognitive disconnect."

Meyers chimed in: "It's also weird to think that they eat at the same cafeteria. Like, the shampoo people and the vaccine people."

And Helms brought the bit home: "But I couldn't help wondering when I got the shot if maybe it was baby shampoo."

Helms also stopped by The Kelly Clarkson Show earlier this week:

The Office alum is making the rounds to promote the new Peacock original series Rutherford Falls he co-created with Michael Schur (The Office, Parks and Recreation, The Good Place) and Sierra Teller Ornelas.
