I wish Segal got more recognition for The End of the Tour. Great film

Jason Segel is a genius. Such an inspiration.

He seems so nice and normal and gentle.

damn Jason just seems like a total sweetheart. Shrinking is not for everyone but i love it to pieces, the chemistry of the ensembles makes up for the sorta underwhelming writing (at times). Segel, Harrison Ford and Jessica Williams are so hilarious together. if ya like Ted Lasso and Scrubs, then it should be right up your alley.

Not a fan of Harrison, but a huge fan of Jessica and Jason, so definitely going to watch it. Too many shows. Have never heard of this one up until now.

Shrinking is the funniest show I’ve seen in years. The cast and writers are outstanding.

I have really gained alot of respect for this actor through this interview. A true artistic genius

Yeah I knew him mostly from How I Met Your Mother. A true actor because I did NOT expect his natural demeanor to be THAT different from his acting.

Artistic "genius"? A bit of hyperbole there. There are certain words that should only be used occasionally and genius is one of them. Jason Segal is a very amiable and talented actor. No reason to go further than that.

Afterlife is another great example of sad/heavy and funny in the same package. Love that style.

I didn’t know anything about Jason Segel before this interview but now having seen him talk here, I’m a fan. He has a great way of speaking!

Jason Segel is currently one of the most underrated artists because of his disposition. So was Tom Hanks back in the day. Hope this new series brings him notice.

It’s funny how more people haven’t realised how amazingly talented and genuinely funny he is! I became an instant fan when I saw him in HIMYM and watched everything he’s been in!

It’s funny because I think that way about people who didn’t discover him until HIMYM. He shined on Freaks and Geeks and you knew he was destined for big things back then. Guy is super talented but more importantly super genuine.

Yes. Thank God. We need silly and poignant. Always. Everywhere.

Laughter is our human way of coping. I try to remember that "nothing good is funny." People who are always serene, content, and satisfied are the least likely to laugh for any reason. People who are comically talented are just way better than us at leaning into that.

If you wanna see his glorious mind work on the spot, go look for the season 2 bloopers of How I Met Your Mother and around the minute and 53 mark he improvises an incredible speech

I love this podcast soo much! The only thing that would be nice is if you could bump up the volume a little, it's a bit low :)

4:37 Didn't Conan remember anything from his guest appearance on Futurama? "Comedy's a dead art form. Now, tragedy... That's funny!" -Bender

Love Jason Segel

I love you man, himym, freaks & geeks, forgetting SM I love them allllllll he’s amazing

I had no idea he was so interesting person. Thanks Conan

I never woulda guessed he sounded like that

I can’t unsee Marshal

Pretty much the same advice that music composer for Beavis and Butt-Head Do America John Frizzell got from his mentor Elmer Bernstein, who had composed music for the comedy classic Airplane. Bernstein told Frizzell to compose it as if he didn't even know it was a comedy, just as he himself had done in Airplane. Beavis and Butt-Head movie music sounds like it would perfectly fit in a really serious and high-stakes action movie, which makes the whole movie even funnier.

see the world funny🙃 even in tough moments♥️

4:00. Even in Canada we remember the McDlt. maybe they didn't have these at Harvard :)

I like him

Nice

Brother Jason Segel

Conan's grampa beard makes him look so cute and cuddly

I think they discontinued the McDLT when Sona was very young, maybe before she was born.

I bring up the mc dlt all the time!

We need Harrison Ford on this podcast.😁

yes -- the decline of Network television and the rise of streaming, while problematic in numerous ways, is really lovely for the state of professional storytelling.

I think, generally speaking, stories are done best when they are consistent in tone. Some levity is nice in dramas and some character and some drama in comedy is nice but when the two become too intertwined it takes me out of the experience. I think shows have a better shot at getting away with it because of the way they are structured in episodes. I tend to dislike the marvel way of throwing in quips in a dramatic scene for the sake of undercutting tension. Some levity is good, like i said, but only when its appropriate. Similarly, when shows like the office put in too much drama, it hurts the comedy. In the season when jim and pams marriage was having trouble, the comedy suffered. Not that the bits werent funny but its hard to laugh at a bit when its the scene after a really dramatic part. I think comedies are unique in this regard, especially with shows, where many will opt for more dramatic plot threads in later seasons to keep things fresh. When the bits get old, you fall back on the characters. It's not that i dont like the dramatic bits from the office in isolation. But its when you look at the show as a whole and you see the shift in priority.

im so glad his in this new project, i gotta see it. creators are finally done with the extreme genre "oh this is a comedy, oh this is a drama" are blending in all in, like irl. like Taika did in Jojo. and the actors, the good ones, have a lot more range to work with. its all good news

Walk that sensitive line

Everything they are talking about here reminds me of how complicated Doctor Who has become. How the audience is often laughing and crying happening in the same moment and pretty much for the same reason.

Conan looks like Arnold Schwarzenegger here 😅

I always thought they were the same person

Judd laptop oww

I stopped at 4:20

Ok what is going on with Jason?? He’s getting hotter and hotter the older he gets 🥵 damn - smart, talented, funny AND handsome

i think the most egregious thing about Conan not knowing about the McDLT is that his dear friend Jason Alexander did a commercial for what could be the best tasting lettuce and tomato hamburger ever😤 commercial: kzread.info/dash/bejne/h4iHxreIc5uxkcY.html&ab_channel=ArcadeSpookyTree

You capitalized ‘randos’.

For someone who is such a funny writer, you couldn’t stop Jonah from You People??

Humans are hooked on copium. The fortunate ones get paid for it.

Conans beard is horrible.

Was the advice write the cringiest script possible but manipulate woke weirdo's into thinking its cathartic and profound because its set to an indie rock soundtrack that would have been oh so hip if it were still 2009?

Such sophisticated chaps, in regards to non-psychology related content, speaking of that ...
