Jordan Schlansky Interview Conan O'Brien Must Go & Friendship With Comedian
Ойын-сауық
After Conan O’Brien appeared on Hot Ones last week and created a surge of meme-worthy moments that sparked a viral stream of throwback favorites, the outpouring of love for the former late-night host has only just begun. Having spent a large chunk of his career talking to some of the most beloved personalities behind a desk for three decades, the orange-haired comedian is ready to stretch his long legs with the highly-anticipated Max Original series, Conan O’Brien Must Go. While wandering the globe to meet fans and take in the sights and sounds of four countries, O’Brien also meets his associate producer (with “various tasks”), Jordan Schlansky in the Argentina travelogue, where the two eat meat plates, dance the tango and become Gauchos. In an exclusive interview with Collider about Conan O’Brien Must Go, the beloved producer and O’Brien’s longtime friend, talks about his favorite moments with the host and how their relationship has evolved since Schlansky got his start on Late Night With Conan O’Brien in the mid-’90s.
Schlansky, who also appears regularly on The Conan and Jordan Show exclusively on SiriusXM’s Conan O’Brien Radio, told Collider that no matter what it looks like to audiences and how fraught their dynamic appears, he loves traveling with O’Brien. “I love traveling with Conan. I love spending time with him,” Schlansky says. “I love spending time with him in foreign environments. I do truly think that when you travel or experience any kind of new event with someone you know, it does bring you closer together. You not only experience things firsthand but [that’s] reflected in somebody else’s eyes, as well.”

Bullied? What are you even talking about?! Are you aware of what comedy is and Jordans full participation in it?! He doesnt have to allow himself to be filmed. He agreed to the terms and if he didnt like it, he wouldnt have done it! Did you even listen to the full podcast where he said he enjoyed Conan and they get along and consider him a close friend?! Do you need therapy, sunshine?

Agreed, I like him even more after this. I don't think he's purely an act, but I believe he's aware that when the cameras are rolling it needs to be entertaining, he certainly knows that he's on a comedy show and is expected to act a certain way to make it work, it's part of the job and he takes it seriously in the exact way he should. I suspect that off camera they have a good time and plenty of laughs.

@@bigb860 I think the character of "Jordan Schlansky" is probably based on funny behaviors, hobbies, or minor quirks that Conan had observed over the years, and at some point he invited Jordan to play them up and exaggerate them for bits on the show. If we were all genius comedians with our own talk shows, we could probably think of similar sketches with friends, family, coworkers, related to things that annoy us or we find endearing, or both at once. And we'd be like "That's not them, but also it is pretty much them" lol.

Doing this interview is actually one of Jordan's various tasks and duties for Conan.

His logic and structure in this conversation is impressive.

What I got from this interview: he still is completing his various tasks.
That was a great interview and props to her she was funny and very well spoken. And I really like how humble in reality Jordan is and genuinely funny
That was an incredible insight Jordan shared regarding what makes the dynamic between himself and conan so compelling to watch; its that usually as humans when we try to match the energy and reflect the other person we are with, but because these two are such polar opposites, they both instead just double down on their strengths- Jordan's strength as an introvert, and conans as an extrovert.
Always nice to see when Jordan has a smile on his face lol

What a fantastic interview. This answers so many of the questions I’ve had over the years and was a great promo for the show. Jordan saying at the end that he’s assigned tasks and he completes those tasks is such a troll I love it.

Jordan Schlansky is such a deeply emotional man
Actually find it very wholesome to learn that Jordan very actively enjoys travling with Conan and really loves working with him. I was not always sure of it. So that's amazing.
he oddly reminds me of jeremy strong when he would do those succession zoom interviews
