It was "I just wandered around the building all night. I didn't run into another single living soul.... except one gigantic lesbian.... Who is conan obrien and why is she so sad?" lol
Just listening to the podcast it kinda feels like Conan's just confronting Jack the whole time but in video you can see Jack's amazing facial expressions showing that he's really in on the joke
As soon as he said “is it fair for me to say…” we ALL knew what was coming! Hahahaha! That was an awesome story, Jack. You’re such a great storyteller!
I first saw Jack on the second city stage in Chicago. He was completely unknown at that time but outrageously funny. Seeing him on 30 rock years later always made me smile. Such a good guy and great talent. So happy to see him go far!
Jack is one of like four people that I am legitimate happy for them that they struck gold and their luck was positive in reaching celebrity status. Conan is the first of those four people in my book. I salute you both.
Did anyone else LOVE when both Sona and Matt started to literally Chant "No-no-no-no-no-no" immediately after Conan started taking credit for Jack's successful audition???😂😂😂😂😂
Conan is a comedy,witty genius & he does this things on purpose to make the podcast fun. Conan definately knew that if he says about taking credit, sona & matt would chime in with their funny bit. This is the reason why conan's podcast is so popular & still on top after years & much better than thousands of podcasts out there.
Absolutely love this! Jack is like the polar opposite of the great Jordan Schlansky and I love Conan' Dynamic with them both. Indeed everyone he works with.
I've never seen Conan struggle so hard to hold a serious conversation with a guest more than he has with Jack. You can tell he's itching to get to jokes and roasts but has to hold down some Podcast content as displayed by this video. He couldn't even let Jack finish any of his stories
I feel like he can really let loose and his improv style comedy really shines. To me it's way funnier and more personal than the late night style shows generally are.
I first encountered Jack McBrayer in Wander Over Yonder, and when I first saw him in a Conan interview, was delighted to find out he was at least 75% just that cartoon character 😂
So much of life is human connection. They used to say that it isn’t what you know, but who you know. Thank goodness, Jack is proof. I would never suggest that Jack is nothing less than exceptional. Many exceptional artists die in obscurity, every day.
The more I listen to it, the more I am sure that to me, this is the best episode of the entire podcast series so far. The only "weak" part is the outro and even that was ahead of the curve.
Hearing Jack's origin story was sooo gratifying, after the many false starts/interruptions from Conan. Thanks to Sona and Matt for shouting Conan down on this one!
Kevin Dorf and John Glaser went on to be 2 of my favorite writers and characters at Late Night. Glaser was Segway Sam & one of the Slipnutz trio and Dorf was the bartender at "Joe's"
I met Jack in 2003 before he was on 30 Rock (not sure if he had cameo'd on Conan yet). He was already doing the "intern/page" character though at a weekly live comedy show called Automatic Vaudeville, which Paul Scheer hosted at the Ars Nova in NYC. Fred Armisen used to show up at that show a lot, too, with some of the young SNL castmates. Good times. Such a nice guy.
I love that Jack knows the show so well. 30 Rock is my favourite show of all time, I watch it obsessively since it released and can remember all these lines but I don't have much of a life or career. It must have meant a lot to him and I love that.
It’s such a great show. It has so many layers of jokes that you need to rewatch it a few times because you were only laughing at layer 1 and missed layer 2, 3 and 4. The scenes between jack and Wil Arnett were spectacularly funny. Omg! 😂😂😂😂
On the 2010 The Legally Prohibited from Being Funny on Television Tour, Conan had surprise guests come out in each city. I saw the Atlanta show, and he brought out Jack! 🤩
I recall Conan and Jeff discussing Conesy’s of audition for the late night show. He mentioned how weird it looks for someone so pale to wear an all white jacket and shirt….
I wonder if after Jack borrowed the page uniform from Conan if he then sold the uniform on Ebay saying this is the uniform used by Jack McBrayer to land 30 Rock. I wonder how much he got for it. I wonder who now walks around wearing the uniform in the streets of New York City impersonating the guy that borrowed the uniformed that then impersonated the guy that was a page on 30 Rock. I wonder if Jack's southern accent is as fake as The Get Ur Done Cable Guy accent. I wonder if birds suddenly appeared every time Jack is near.....
Without a doubt one of my favourite lines in 30 Rock - "Didn't run into another living soul. Except one GIGANTIC lesbian. Who is Conan O'Brien, and why is she so sad?"
Chicago is the best city for comedy . Simply the best!!!! If you eant to get into comedy. Go to Chicago. Its better than LA and NY put together. And slightly cheaper
Season 2, Episode 12 is the Tim Conway joke episode just fyi. The line is: "Well I never left actually. I just wandered around the building all night. Didn't run into another single living soul. Except one gigantic lesbian.........who is Conan O'Brien and why is she so sad?". Conway's delivery is just perfect!
Jack was so incredibly funny helping out with some bits on John Oliver's "Last Week Tonight" where they were making fun of Alex Jones and Info Wars and the crap supplements they sell. Jack did a spot on satire of the quack, pretend, doctor that endorses the snake oil. He was so funny! I'd love to see him and Rachel Dratch team up for some comedy show or movie.
I wish he wasn’t so fawning, that’s the difference between a comedian and a comedy actor. Comedians tend to laugh at themselves and don’t things so serious whereas as comedy actors like this guy have zero humour unless it’s in a script. Do we really care about an “aha” moment? Just dance!
I had something about the Tim Conway bit, but i am (transparency) drunk. I lost it. I just want to say that I am an old, and I remember Tim Conway. I have seen his stand up. He is funny. Truly funny.
