  1. I like how based on the logic of the skit they have a fake casting person on call at all times to rationalize their decisions that they themselves never made to begin with.

  2. Ladies, gentlemen, other, whomever…I present to you…The Great Brian Stack and Brian Glaser. Bost amazing writers and underrated comic performers.

    I don't know who the person was playing the casting director, But they forking nailed it. Kudos to them.

  3. Does Conan not have many YouTube shorts? There are so many unbelievably awesome moments from his career, that would work beautifully in the medium. Is there a separate account for them? I imagine Bley is already way ahead of me, assuming I'm not just being blind to a separate account for them or something. I'm sure there's a ton that would be wrapped up into getting those set up.

    I'm not blind to the fact that it would take work, time, and money to edit them properly. Would be totally worth it though.

    SHAMELESS SELF PROMOTION TIME: I'd be happy to offer my help. I'll admit, I'm no expert(my channel is…not the highest product quality 😅). But, give me YouTube, 24-hours, and two pots of coffee (and maybe a few empty jars 😅), and I will be pretty dang good at it. Because if Conan has taught me anything, it's all about putting in that elbow grease. 👍

    "Work hard, be kind, good things will happen". 😊

  4. This sketch made me laugh, as Conan’s show always has. This comment section made me just as happy. There’s Stack appreciation comments, mentions of Councilman Jam, appreciation for Marisa being game for the bit… I love you, my fellow Conan fans. Cheers 🍻

  5. A prime example of what makes Conan's humor so awesome: taking a simple sticky-note idea and rolling with it straight to death and beyond. They reflected upon what makes the show so great initially: OVER-EXAGGERATION with amazing comical results. No wonder he hires such brilliant writers!
