It's a mixture of music, bingo and trivia and it's

Speaker 2 (01:13):
But right now it's time for this fuck you. The
thing's big.
Speaker 3 (01:21):
Yeah, let's finish with some more laughing and if you
like to laugh and you have Netflix. The Mark Twain
Prize for American Humor Special that dropped yesterday is really
good and they were honoring Conan O'Brien and we just
played you a few things from the from the last segment.
Speaker 2 (01:38):
Let's go ahead and move on to Nicki Glazer.
Speaker 3 (01:41):
She's of course gonna be in everything that's like this
now because it is kind of a half roast.
Speaker 2 (01:46):
Well, she had an edgy opening joke.
Speaker 4 (01:48):
It was my freshman year of high school and my
dad had just gotten home from work and he's like, Nick,
you have to watch the show I recorded.
Speaker 2 (01:54):
Last night for you.
Speaker 4 (01:55):
I know you're gonna love it, so I like begrudgingly
sit down. He pops in the speed chest tape and
what I saw completely change my life. It was a
sex tape he and my mom had shot over the weekend.
But once he located the right tape and I stopped vomiting,
he played me. He played me the fifth anniversary special
(02:17):
of Late Night with Conan O'Brien, and my mind was
blown more than my dad was on.
Speaker 2 (02:22):
The first tape. I couldn't believe it.
Speaker 4 (02:25):
I was like, how has this been on for five
years and I'm just now finding out about it? And
my dad was like, because it was bad for the
first three, but.
Speaker 2 (02:36):
So very good. She's heavy artillery man and what.
Speaker 3 (02:41):
Was kind of funny though, but sometimes they would have
a clip or they would have something like Kumel nan
Gianni was just making fun of the fact everyone talks
about how Conan wrote for The Simpsons. He did like
a ted talk and he's like, well, let's really look
at the stats. He's written three episodes of The Simpsons, Like,
it's like zero point three eight percent of Simpson episodes. Well,
(03:02):
her clip that she played was one of our favorites
that we played on our show, The Classic Walker told me.
Speaker 2 (03:07):
I have Aid's clip. How you doing, Little Partner?
Speaker 3 (03:10):
You know that one? Yeah, but we've always had it
wrong in our show. I think, are you gonna play it?
Speaker 2 (03:15):
I am?
Speaker 3 (03:16):
I'm gonna play the one that how it really went
down on the show and how you.
Speaker 2 (03:21):
Do it a little fine and it's a little visitor. Now,
I don't want you always how you see it in Chucky.
Oh well, pardon my French, but I'll be dancing. Walker
told me I had eat.
Speaker 1 (03:41):
I mean, okay, so it's still it's horrible and abrupt,
and yeah, it's pretty close.
Speaker 2 (03:47):
No, I do think I like it better our way.
Speaker 3 (03:49):
Yeah, Conan did that so many times that I think
he might have done it the way that we've had pooled.
Speaker 2 (03:54):
On our show for many years. Eventually he edited it
down to that.
Speaker 3 (03:58):
Yeah, I think so, But that was kind of funny
just watching it again too. You know what's great as
Conan's reaction after he does it is he just stands
up and looks at.
Speaker 2 (04:09):
The scenery behind him. It's like, oh my god, for
a minute, he's so shocked.
Speaker 3 (04:14):
Now, one thing you should know about Conan is that
Adam Sandler lives in his neighborhood. And I remember a
long time ago Codin just talking on his podcast about
how it's not uncommon just randomly on a weekend for
saying to hear sailor like on his bike with his kids,
just going Codan, just like never know because they all
(04:36):
they look kind of close.
Speaker 2 (04:37):
So Adam start came out.
Speaker 3 (04:38):
But he had a little bit that he wanted to
do that involved a little audience participation. Left hand, Conan,
right hand, You say Sandman, So that's what you're hearing.
When you hear the audience respawn okay, Conan or Sandman?
Speaker 2 (04:49):
Okay. When I point at.
Speaker 5 (04:50):
You with my left hand, you say that word Conan.
Speaker 2 (04:53):
Let's try it out right now. I know the time
if I point with my right hand. From now on,
let's say sam Man.
Speaker 5 (05:01):
Let's try that out quickly man and uh now let
the best TIPTI speak.
Speaker 2 (05:10):
Takes his shirt off and all the ladies swoo. Takes
his shirt off and the skin comes with it. Famous,
famous for wearing long.
Speaker 5 (05:20):
Silky basketball shores, Famous for having long fuzzy balls hang
out his tightly wikis.
Speaker 2 (05:27):
Let's bestake it for a young James Kahn.
Speaker 5 (05:30):
Let's mistaken from one of them giant blow up.
Speaker 2 (05:33):
Think he's outside of car? Do you ship incredible actor?
Speaker 5 (05:40):
Incurable acne values.
Speaker 2 (05:44):
His privacy phone number is nine.
Speaker 4 (05:47):
One seven six, Call him whatever you want.
Speaker 5 (05:54):
The lead in the midda comedic, genius, comedic Peters and
finally is married to a gorgeous woman way out of
his leaves.
Speaker 2 (06:08):
That is the us both hands up and right.
Speaker 3 (06:13):
And then uh, like you know, Sailor was there at
SNL and Conan was, So this is like a really
you know, this is how these things go. At the
end you say something really nice, but this was really cool,
because I do you think comedians can be real a holes?
Speaker 2 (06:26):
I think so this is the nice part.
Speaker 5 (06:28):
You're one of the funniest guys. We all know that.
I remember when Lauren, you know, was in charge of
finding the next host, and right when they said Conan,
I swear to god, every guy, every comedian, there was
no jealousy. We were like, yeah, he's the best man.
You're faster than all of us, You're you're nicer than
all of us. And I'm so happy this life was yours, buddy.
(06:51):
It's it's awesome.
Speaker 2 (06:52):
Conan rules. He rules so much.
Speaker 1 (06:54):
So, Uh, do you guys remember or do you know
Conan was the head rider? Do you know how long
he was the head writer on SNL?
Speaker 2 (07:01):
I do not know. I'm wondering about that whole.
Speaker 1 (07:04):
I'm always curious, like who because I know Robert Smigel,
was he before Conan or after he was before?
Speaker 3 (07:11):
But ninety three is when you know Conan went to
do Late Night. Yeah, okay, so I mean Conna wasn't.
They're long he was doing Simpsons in the late eighties.
You're gonna hear a story from Conan here in a second,
because so David Letterman's there, and David Letterman is the
guy who's like gives him the award. That's Conan's hero,
and every one of those guys room pretty much. But
(07:35):
it's funny because mulaney was like, Conan is my hero.
There's a lot of these people who there, Conan was
their letterman. Yeah, so conin sixty it says he was
writer from eighty eight to ninety one.
Speaker 2 (07:47):
Okay, just look that up there. Yep.
Speaker 3 (07:49):
So this is another thing too about that just saying
really nice is Will Ferrell said most of the comedians
are threatened by other people who are funnier than them.
Speaker 2 (07:59):
He's like Conan was not.
Speaker 3 (08:00):
He would just try to end up being funnier than you,
and then he would annoy you until he was funnier
than you. But he was like, it's very rare that
anyone does not get a little insecure about it. And
Conan was always just kind of fast. And this is
Conan very emotional. He's almost crying after a letterman hands him.
Speaker 6 (08:18):
The to be handed this award by David Letterman. And
I need to put this in context so you will understand.
The year is nineteen eighty seven. My burning ambition. I
believe my destiny is to write for Dave's Late Night Show.
And I have just heard from their head writer that
the only open slot has already been filled and there
(08:39):
will be no job. I had no idea what is
going to become of me. Now, imagine that suddenly some
angel from the future appears and tells me that forty
years from now I'm going to be on stage and
that the most prestigious award in comedy is going to
be handed to me by David Letterman. I would have
(09:03):
stared at that angel in utter shock and said, wait
a minute, David Letterman is still alive.
Speaker 2 (09:12):
Everything is a beautiful bit. That's great. It never stops.
I don't know. I counted was and I didn't. I
was two years ninety three. I was five years old
when he took over Late Night.
Speaker 3 (09:25):
But I remember like me and my cousins always talking about, Okay,
we got to step up and watch this guy.
Speaker 2 (09:28):
He's kind of new and it's a weird show.
Speaker 3 (09:31):
And it probably helps that there is a bear playing
with himself that comes out every once in a while.
Speaker 2 (09:35):
There was a lot of mascots and love that.
Speaker 3 (09:37):
But I get really invested in the twenty ten Jay
Leno Conan situation.
Speaker 1 (09:43):
Yeah, like that was a huge deal. I was graduating
college that year, So what was it? It was he
didn't want to Leno didn't want to retire, Yes, so
it yeah, And it's also it's it's territorial because keep
in mind that Letterman always thought he was going to
get the job that Leno got, and when Letterman didn't
get that job, he said, screw you, I'm going to CBS.
(10:06):
And so in that world, all of those comedians are
aligned with David Letterman, not Jay Leno. They all think
Jay Leno's a chip salesman, and so that's like always
been territorial. And so for Jay Leno to come back
and then do it to David Letterman's heir apparent was.
Speaker 3 (10:24):
Well, yeah, but keep in mind NBC what they did,
So they gave it to Conan. But then they're like, well,
let's also like Jay Leno wants to come back, so
they put Jay Leno on.
Speaker 2 (10:33):
I'll use Central Time before the news, which is.
Speaker 3 (10:38):
Like, okay, well that basically puts Conan back in his
old spot, even though he had the tonight show. Now
it's like you're kind of undercutting him, and so that
was even more wrong than just coming back and taking
his job.
Speaker 2 (10:49):
Didn't Conan walk away from that.
Speaker 3 (10:51):
He walked away because he was like, this is messed up.
And Jay had horrible ratings but it was tanking Conan's
ratings too, Wow, and you know it's it's it's just
it was a wild situation. I remember like when Kimmel
and lettermany every night we're making jokes about it. That
was what was really crazy about it.
Speaker 1 (11:09):
You know, have y'all watched any of that Conan stuff
that he does on HBO.
Speaker 2 (11:13):
I have the Transling show. I'm not I haven't seen.
I've just seen commercials for it.
Speaker 1 (11:17):
I'm coming back, but either season they just show it
on the app, right, I don't think they show it
on HBO four episodes. I always liked him, but I
haven't known where to find him for a long time.
TBS was where he went when he left NBC. Now
is a podcaster, Yeah, now he's a podcaster. I see
his clips from his podcast all the time. All Right, man,
that's thank you for chopping all that up.
Speaker 2 (11:38):
KT. That was a really fun way. Watch the whole thing.
It's really good.
Speaker 1 (11:42):
It is on Netflix and you can't enjoy yourselves. All right,
that's gonna do it for the Ben and Skin show today.
I'll never forget the time KT got to meet Conan.
He looked him dead in the eye and he said,
and that lived forever. Coming up next, Christina is going
to stick around and play tunes here on the Eagle.
Speaker 2 (12:00):
Here are you going?
Speaker 5 (12:02):
Well, I'm gonna get my sack backed, dude
Speaker 2 (12:05):
God bless Jesus.
