Nasim Pedrad interview

Interview0 Comments

Pedrad appears on Conan as a guest and talks about her famous Kim Kardashian impression on Saturday Night Live, her unaired Aziz Ansari impression skit and her strong childhood crush on O’Brien.

I had a debilitating crush on you in high school. I was unreasonable, though. I was very young, but I had this very intense romantic feelings for you. I had like a “vision board” in my bedroom. You know what that is? It’s like pictures of things you like and/or want, and mine was Home Alone 2: Lost in New York, Claire Danes, Destiny’s Child and then you.

Bibb appears as a guest on Conan to promote her latest movie, No Good Deed. She also tells O’Brien about her experience at the Burning Man Festival and her dislike for scary movies.

When I was I think like 4 or 5 maybe, my sister Bev told my mom let’s go see this family movie, Amityville Horror. So my mother took me and my two sisters to see Amityville Horror. I was sitting in the second row on this side and all I remember is blue gunk coming out. I didn’t sleep in my bed for a year. For a year!

John Hodgman interview

Interview0 Comments

Hodgman appears as a guest on Conan and talks about his various topics including his former belief in the Mayan apocalypse and his recent discovery of marijuana and electronic inhalers. He also shares his experience being a traffic counter as a college student and explains why he throws his socks at the audience during his stand-up comedy set.

I take my shoes off and then I throw my socks into the audience, and people say, is that to be more comfortable? I don’t know. I don’t care about my comfort. All I care is that you people are uncomfortable. I find it’s better to perform for an audience that is profoundly disturbed. Now that I’m doing stand-up comedy, I want to establish dominance and I also want to spread my D.N.A. as far as possible.

Adam DeVine third interview

Interview0 Comments

DeVine returns as a guest on Conan to promote his latest film The Intern. He also talks about working with co-star Robert DeNiro and his unsuccessful attempts at making him laugh. He also shares his early experiences with marijuana and his rejected audition for Saturday Night Live.

De Niro is the only impression I can kind of do and you guys are like “you can’t.” Not very good at that. I auditioned and I didn’t really know you had to do impressions, even though that’s a thing you absolutely have to do. So I did jack Nicholson. I was like, “I’m jack Nicholson”. That was like my move.

Jaime King interview

Interview0 Comments

King guests on Conan to promote her new film, Sin City 2: A Dame to Kill For. She also tells O’Brien about choosing Uber over an ambulance to get to a hospital to possibly give birth.

I didn’t feel well and I called the doctor, and he’s like ‘Just go to the hospital and check it out’, so I took an Uber because I thought that an ambulance would be very dramatic.

Fielder guests on Conan to talk about the renewal of his television show, Nathan For You. He talks about his popular marketing strategy called Dumb Starbucks and explains his subtly R-rated Instagram photos.

Unfortunately, I was trying to post a photo of the fans but there was a reflection in the sunglasses of my computer screen, I wasn’t aware of that when it posted, it was quite embarrassing. I mean, it’s an old man who is naked with an erect penis. On my computer screen. And you know, this is private stuff I’m looking at, whatever.

It’s the same as if I’m at a restaurant and somebody says, I — let me play your music. I lose my appetite. I’m so hyper critical that hearing myself makes me think, I should be doing — I should have done that differently.

Cameron Esposito stand-up

0 Comments

Esposito gives a stand-up comedy performance on Conan. Her routine talks about being questioned about her sexuality based on her fashion style, and being misunderstood because of her unconventional party choices.

You don’t have to feel weird. I’m an advocate and an ally. I want you to know that. My parents are straight. I’ve seen their relationship and I know there can be real love there. I think we can be different. We should celebrate that. We shouldn’t shame anyone for being different.
