Conan Introduces Kaitlin Olson To “Crazy, Stalker Fan” Sona | Conan O'Brien Needs A Friend

Hi, my name is Caitlyn Olsen and I. feel. apprehensive about being Conan O'Brien's. friend. Caitlyn, uh, that that is a very. wise answer and honest because uh, I've. been acting like a fool since you since. you came in the building. Yeah. A lot of. dad jokes so far. I don't remember that. Grandpa jokes at this point. I It was my. a material. Oh, no. From 70 years ago. Hey. A uh and um no, I I've been so.

goofy around you uh for a reason. I'm a. massive fan. And I got giddy. And so. then this total drink of water comes. walking in and I'm doing stickick left. and right. And I've made a complete fool. of myself. You really did. And you know. what? I uh I apologize, but it came from. a place of great admiration and some. drinking about an hour ago. I'll allow. it. I like that. Yeah, they like the. explanation. I'm thrilled you're here. And I want to start by acknowledging you.

have a crazy stalker fan here. Oh, in. the in the form of Sona Obsessian. Why. would you do that to her? I see it. Like. stalker. fan. I don't stalk you. That's okay. I. haven't seen her around in my bushes. Oh, okay. But not mine. But not your. stalker. No, I'm fine with both. Um, only Don Cheetel. Uh, true. The point is. that a number of years ago, uh, I was. aware of Always Sunny when it was first.

starting up and I would catch the show. here and there and I always think this. is really funny. I I like these people. I like what they're doing, but a lot of. other stuff is going on. And then I. would come to work and Sona's desk, Sona, my assistant, had was a shrine to. it wasn't a shrine to always just let. him do it. I like it. a picture of the. cast. You talked about it all the time. I just You're making me sound like a. creeper. I had a picture of the cast and. sometimes I would watch it at work when.

I should have been doing things for him. So, he he's a little resentful about it. But that's what got me more into the. show because I would be asking Sona, "You know those pills I need for my. heart to keep me alive?" And she'd say, "Whatever. I'm busy." And then I would. see that she was watching Always Sunny. at work. Right. Important. Yeah. Yeah. So, then we flash forward to my. children, uh, my son and my daughter get. to a certain age. And I will say this. about my kids. I don't brag about them.

much cuz I'm not a fan. Um, uh, but, um, they have excellent, excellent, excellent comedy taste. And. they started from the beginning and they. started binge watching Always Sunny. And. then they pulled Liz and I into it. And. as a family, we started from the. beginning and we knew that soon, like. they're both going off to college. We. watched all of them. God, all of them. I. have not missed a one. Wow. And I was.

delighted because it's such an original. comedic voice uh and voices. It's just. coming at everything from a different. angle and it's just delightful. And so. that's where a lot of my giddiness came. from today. So sweet. It's true. It's. absolutely 100% uh true. And um and then. if you'd have the gall to go on and have. all this other success outside of Sunny.

uh I think is I think it's too much. Oh, too much success. Yeah. I thought you. had I mean you hit it out of the park. Just be the girl on the one funny. show. Go home and take care of your. kids. Exactly. I get it. But then you're. on Hacks. Mhm. Uh and you're fantastic. on that show. Thanks. Although your name. on that show is eerily similar to JD. Vance. God, that was so We were like, are you First of all, I came along. first. I've never heard of this man.

Right. You're first. And you're DJ. Vance. DJ Vance. Oh my god. And anyone. who's watching it later is going to go, "Oh, what a corny take on JD Vance.". Nope. No. We No. It's It stands for. Deborah Jr. Yeah. Well, his name is. Deborah Jr. Oh. Oh, well, then we did. copy him. Yeah. Deborah Jun. And then. we're going to discuss your new show, which I watched yesterday, which is. getting insane over the top reviews. Again, something I resent. Um, didn't.

seem a mention of me anywhere in these. reviews because I'm not in the show and. I'm not involved in any way. But, uh, High Potential, uh, which is an. adaptation of a French show. It's a. great idea and you're fantastic in it. Thank you. And what I like about it is. that it is a good. Some I was trying to think about it. after I was like it's I wouldn't say. it's a comedy. It's a it's a funny and. at times very funny uh show that's a.

very good crime show and really smart. Thank you. And I thought everyone wants to label. something now and say and so I think my. wife said to me afterwards she's like is. it a comedy? And I said it's not a. comedy. It it is not it's definitely not. a comedy but you get to be very funny in. it. And some of the situations are very. funny but it's also uh an excellent kind. of one of those crime shows that is.

building a Rubik's cube and solving it. in front of you which was really cool. Yeah, thank you. I appreciate that. That. was that was the goal was to really u. make sure that you believed the world. and bought in to the fact that there was. something urgent and bad happening and. that wasn't going to happen if the rest. of the world was funny. So yeah, and. also I was like only I get to be funny. on this show. You want me to do it? I. only I will utter funny things. I have. made that rule here at the podcast many. times and it just doesn't seem to.

happen. No, they are breaking it. Yeah, I got to come up with more good. sticktick at the top.
