(Original airdate: 06/16/04) Steven Wright talks about visiting Australia, the connection between the Red Sox and the Titanic, and his role in "Coffee And Cigarettes." Watch more classic clips @ conanclassic.com.
Yup. About 4 months later, they would pull off the greatest comeback in MLB playoff history against the Yankees in the ALCS and then go on to win easily in the World Series. They finally steered clear of the iceberg once they figured out they were re-enacting the titanic sinking. Wright figure it out for them !
@@assmane999 Yeah, it totally almost looked like the Titanic in the ALCS. And then some strange shiz really happened. That was wicked awesome for Steven and I.
thank you Jeselnik for mentioning this guy as an inspiration years ago and got me on a binge back then, was before my time, would've loved to see him live (same goes for Mitch Hedberg actually)
Steven Wright: one of the world’s most brilliant and funny comedians and master of the surreal, the absurd, and deadpan delivery. “I like to drink a lot of coffee before bed because then I can dream faster”. “Strange To Meet You” on Conan, Steven.
I’m over a half century old and I’ve watched Steven since back in the day when he was young. He’s always been hilarious throughout his career. I’d have to say he’s my favorite comedian of all time😄👍
In the future some billionaires will take a time machine back to 2004 to witness it live, yet the technology will be imperfect and will explode instead of time traveling to the past.
Not gonna lie...when I clicked through on this video, I thought Conan was interviewing another Steven Wright, the former Red Sox knuckleball pitcher that shares his name with the comedian!
They didn't choke in '67. Gibson crushed 'em with 3 complete game wins and an arm weary Lonborg won 2, but ran out of gas in the deciding game 7. It took a long time for the Sox to recognize the need for more than 1 good starter, or pitching in general, to win championships. They were reminded of that truth in '21, but they sure had it in '04, when they also learned to fight back and had unbelievable heart...In '67, St. Louis also had Lou Brock, who killed 'em on the bases...there was no choking...
"I had a switch in my dining room, it didn't do anything, every day I'd walk by it and switch it. A couple years later I got a letter from a woman in Germany. She said cut it out." - Steven Wright (paraphrasing)
