Jessica Williams (FULL EPISODE) | Conan O'Brien Needs A Friend

Okay. Hi, my name is Jessica Williams. and I feel pressured about being Conan's. friend [laughter] because you wrote it. They make you say it. It's crazy. >> They make you say it. Yeah. Yeah. This. is a hostage situation. >> and I can't leave until I say it. >> No, no, no. It's uh it's the gift that. keeps on giving [laughter] and it should. feel like pressure because no one. naturally becomes my friend. Hey there and welcome to another edition.

of Conan O'Brien Needs a Friend. Let me. explain what's going on. Of course, joined as always by Matt Corley, son of. Obsessian. >> I've had a lot of dental work this. morning. I went in and uh my dentist, she does a wonderful job. She's really. terrific. But uh she had to work on the. front of my face and she had to work on. the back on a moler. And I like the way. I said moler. And uh she shot me up with. so much novacane [laughter] that my face.

is all floppy. >> Why are you also kind of drunk? You seem. drunk. You didn't even say hi. You just. came in. I was like, "Let's go press. record.". >> I am not drunk. I am. What a terrible. thing to say. It is uh it is 1:40. in the afternoon. No, I am not. >> I just Are you drunk off the Novacaane? Like, is it affecting you? >> It doesn't uh I don't think Novacaane. I'd like to have uh a cycle farm here. >> who tells us what the effects are, but. no, I don't think I'm I think I've been. sitting in a chair at a dentist office.

for 3 hours uh while they played some. Spotify playlist, which I didn't enjoy. Yeah. Um. >> like what was it? You don't want to say. >> I don't want to. >> Can you say the genre? >> It was uh [sighs] just a lot of. whailing. [laughter]. >> Maybe that was patience from the other. room. >> No, it wasn't. I I I like the patience. more. >> There's Halloween sound effects. following. >> No, it was it was uh it wasn't it wasn't. doing any good. Any hoots?

>> And there was no opening like after we. were we record this podcast. I thought. it was going to be this morning and it. got pushed a little later and I actually. went in much earlier than I was supposed. to and was like, you know, I got to. record today. Uh, and I care about my. fans, the people out there. Also, there. was part of me in the back of my head. that thought, I really want to get on. mic while my mouth is still mushy cuz. [laughter] I thought it's kind of funny. I mean, literally, if I had a a drink. right now, it would all come out my. mouth.

>> Can you do it? >> No. >> Yeah, take a drink. You have a drink, >> please. I don't want to dribble all over. myself. >> Make a fool of yourself. >> Yeah, I have other ways to do that. Tony. [laughter] won't need a prop drink to. make a fool of myself. I can just talk. and share my opinions and [laughter]. thoughts that occur to me and thoughts. suffering No, but you know, here's. the thing. Uh, she gave me an injection. up here by my is what's this? The. incizer, right? What's this one? The. canine. >> The canine teeth. >> What' you say to me?

>> I said, I don't know teeth. I. know what a moler is, but once we get. past the mers, what is happening in. there? >> You're the mother of two little boys and. you just went, I don't know, teeth. [laughter]. And you grab your crotch like take it. easy there. [laughter]. Uh, so what happens is when they get. this nerve up front, it deadens your. nose. It's going up to my eye. I think. she gave me way too much. And I think. it's because I mentioned to her, uh, well, first of all, I'm a red head. And.

the old saying is that we're harder to. anesthetize. So I think she gave me a. lot extra. And she actually did inject. my eye at one point. >> Oh wow. >> Yeah. Just for fun to see what it would. do. Yeah. >> So um yeah, I don't feel this side of my. face and I raced in here. I swear to God. I was bombing down Shet Boulevard to get. here fast before this [laughter]. >> Shet Boulevard. >> Well, I put a little English on the. ball. Okay. But um I bombed down here so. that I could get here before it wore off.

cuz I just want the content. >> And and I swear to God I think my face. looks a little shaggy on this shot. >> It does. It does. I looked at you and I. was like something's off. Look at me straight on. [laughter]. >> Oh yeah, a little bit. >> And you sound a little bit like Holly. Hunter. You've got those extraishes and. like a Connory Holly Hunter mix. If if Sean Connory and Holly Hunter had. a baby and little James Stewart and put. some James Do you know me? Do you know. me, Mr. Gower? It's me. It's George.

I'm drowning. >> Oh no. This is the best ever. [laughter]. Knock knock. Who's there? >> Go yourself. There it is. I'm busy. trying to jerk off in here. [laughter]. You didn't see that one coming, did you, kids? How's a guy supposed to jerk? Huh? Are you aware that Dwayne is still in.

Yeah, man. I really don't want this to. go away. I'm enjoying I'm the only. >> What's wrong with me that I raced out of. the doctor's office. >> I know. >> I There's a parking garage. I drove. through the little arm. I didn't even. pay. [laughter] Shattered it and drove.

90 mph down Sunset Boulevard. I was. like, "Get out of the way while my face. is so mushy. I got to record.". >> You cut through Central Park and we're. not even in New York. >> We're not even in [laughter] New York. >> Bodies everywhere. Uh, you know, good. times. Good times. And may this never. wear off. Well, let's get into it. You. got do tell us about our guest today. Let me put on my glasses.

today [laughter]. was a correspondent on the Daily Show. and now stars in the Apple TV Plus. series Shrinking. I'm thrilled she's. here today. Of course, when I talked to. her, my face wasn't shut up with Nova. Kane. [laughter] So you're good about to. say for say a temporary for will the. mushmouth Jessica Williams welcome. I want to do a little backstory which is. I have like a lot of people been a fan. of yours for a long time and then there.

was an event that we did together and we. got to be together on stage and it was a. a Broadway production of of Gypsy in. Gypsy. >> Yeah, we did it. I mean it was so great. I was I I went for it. >> for 15,000 people. >> Yeah. No, but we did this event together. and I had so much fun with you riffing. Um just we could finish each other's. sentences. It was really fun. I walked. off stage and I called my booker Paula.

Davis and I said, "Why hasn't she been. on the [screaming] podcast?" So you. screamed at her. >> I screamed at her. >> and then I realized later on that I was. off my meds. [laughter]. And we had a terrible time actually. >> And then they told me later on all you. did was scream at Jessica the whole. time. [laughter]. >> Awful. >> Yeah. Uh. >> then he made us go out and play the. slots. >> Yeah. Yeah. Exactly. [laughter]. I was like quarter me. Quarter me. Quarter. >> Quarter. >> Where have you been? >> I never heard that phrase before. Quarter. >> It's not I It's not a phrase. Um.

>> it's got to be more than a quarter now, right? >> Of course it is. I mean, I don't gamble. I never I don't know. >> And then is someone standing next to you. with your quarters and handing you It. used to be you and then it was David. Hopp. >> Um, and I'd say quarter me and you'd. give me like 15 quarters because. [laughter] that's what it costs now. >> Um, but we were just talking. I mean, here's the thing. I walked in the door, you got here just before me and we start. talking. There's no artifice. It's so.

it's it's so easy to talk to you that we. started getting into stuff right away. that was really good. And the next thing. I know, we were talking about how we'd. love to take a. >> like a Orient Express train ride, all of. us. >> Yeah. >> But that there'd have to be a murder and. then I remembered Sona was on a cruise. where there was a murder and you want to. hear about this. >> Yeah, that's my question. So, cuz. sometimes I hear when there's a murder. on a cruise, they have to put them in. the freezer or refrigerator somewhere. Yeah. >> Do What do you know? Tell me everything. >> I know. >> I care about that.

>> And all the witnesses have to go in the. refrigerator, too. [laughter] We. mentioned that she was the murderer. >> Oh, it was you. >> Yeah. I We were at dinner and then you. could. >> Who's we? Who's waiting? >> Me and my husband Tac and then two of. our friends who went on the cruises. This was in Alaska. And then they a. voice comes on the intercom. The entire. cruise can hear it. And you go, "All. medical and security personnel to the. ninth floor." And you could hear the. panic in their voice. And then we were. like, "Oh, what's happening?" But we. didn't stop eating our dinner. Like it. could we thought like it could be an.

active. >> shooting. That's what they did in. Titanic to the Titanic. [laughter] They. were like. >> like, "Oh, that sounds bad." Yeah. Um. >> well, we've got 2 hours before we go. under. So, [laughter] uh I'll have more. of a ve. >> And then, uh we heard it again and you. could see all the employees start to get. worried. And then the next day we were. docked and we were supposed to be still. uh cruising and uh the captain came on. and he said, "Yesterday there was a. domestic disturbance and a woman from. Utah has died." And then we were all.

searching and there were all these news. stories. Her husband killed killed It's. always the husband. >> And the security came in while he was. dragging her body to the balcony to. throw it overboard. >> Security came in cuz I guess they heard. the noise, you told me. And can you. imagine? They they like pushed open the. door. The door was open. They go in and. the guy has her body halfway out the. port hole window. And he's like, "Uh, I. can [laughter] explain.". >> I was pulling her in. >> She died.

Oh, >> then a bird pulled her out and I'm. trying to pull her back in. Is. >> that what it looks like? [laughter]. >> Insane. So, he was caught. He was It's. crazy. He was actually caught in a. murder. I feel like that never I watch a. lot of true crime and dine and it just. never happens that they're caught right. in the middle of it. That is so sad. >> And then, well, it got even sad like he. the FBI came on board. They were. interviewing people and then we followed. the story. He got convicted. >> and then he lost his appeal and then he. killed himself.

>> Yeah. in his jail cell. >> Wow. Wow. Oh my god. >> Sorry, but it happens. >> That's all the time we have, Jessica. But. >> thank you. [laughter] I did my. >> You were pressured. >> Thank you. >> Exactly the way I imagined [laughter]. it. >> Um. >> I uh we're going to get into more. murder, but first. >> Yeah. Yeah. >> Uh I want to say uh you were the. youngest I still I think still to this. day the youngest Daily Show. correspondent ever. >> You were seven years old. I thought.

[laughter] it was I thought it was too. soon. >> I was like I never understood. Your take. on the news was terrible. >> Yeah, I know. I [laughter] know. >> It was always like I'm tired. >> That's what my poopy diapy. >> My poopy diapy [laughter] and. >> poopy diapy. >> You know you because we talk about like. complex issues in the news that needed. real I'm sorry. I thought that was that. was a little early for you. >> But that's the thing about John Stewart. is he really pushes satire and that's. what he's known for. [laughter]. So when he saw first, nobody knows how I. got it. Like I remember I was.

auditioning, we're on Largemont right. now. Allison Jones casting office used. to be here. I don't know if she's still. here, but I was auditioning for. something else. >> and it was a Will Ferrell movie and they. were looking for six-year-olds. And I. [laughter] was auditioning. And then. Alison Jones was like, "You might not be. right for this, but they're passing the. Daily Show. Do you want to come back and. put something on tape?" And I was going. to Cal State Long Beach at the time. >> That's where I went. >> You did? >> And did you do comedy sports? >> Yeah, I did comedy sports since high. school. What? >> Did you grow up here? >> Uh-huh. Whittier. >> Whittier. >> Yeah, >> dude. Everybody I know from Whittier is. always like, "I'm from Whittier." Like,

[laughter]. >> trust me, a day doesn't go by. I mean, I've been behind him. I' I've seen him. at a [laughter] traffic stop, true. story, get out of his car, and start. shouting at the driver, stopped behind. him, waiting for the light to change. I'm from Whittier. >> I'm not from that [laughter] part of. Whittier. >> I'm from Whittier. I'm from Whittier. >> I'm from Whittier. >> Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. >> Don't hurt me. Yeah. I'm from Torrance. So, >> Oh my god. And she's from Hosanda. Heights. >> Oh, cool. Awesome. Hell yeah. Locals. You know where many people from? >> I was born in Kas.

>> No. Stop. >> Del Blanco. >> What? >> Kasa Del Blanco. [laughter]. >> Yeah. It's 40 minutes outside of. Cassidas Lasacha. [laughter]. >> I'm telling you, we had a great air. hockey [laughter] team. Um, >> just this guy. >> Do you guys have air hockey in here? This This office is really cool. >> You won't spring for it. It's You know. what? You know what? I do remember I. remember when I was hosting the late. night show and we were always under so. much pressure early on like we're going. to get cancelled. This isn't going to.

work. Oh my god, is this and. >> I think it was maybe the second or third. Christmas when it the nickel finally. dropped that we were doing okay. There. was really good press. The network. seemed happy and Christmas hit and I was. you know when you take off a backpack. after a long after after a long hike you. feel like you can [clears throat] fly. like you're floating. That's how I felt. And so we I just started running around. buying presents for everybody. And I. remember I was buying presents for all. these people at the show and so full of.

joy. And we were doing our last show. before the Christmas break and we never. used to get breaks. And I then I I went. insane. I ran downstairs and ran through. the streets to a store like a a. Brookstone and bought a giant air hockey. table [laughter]. that was bigger than I was. And I was. carrying it down the street. And people. were like, "I think Carl Bryant is he's. got a giant box and he's laughing like a. maniac." And I took it upstairs and I. went, "Hey everybody, I got us air. hockey." [laughter] It's so funny you.

would bring that up. But. >> But you actually did. You know about. that? >> No. But didn't you bring it up? >> Maybe. I don't know. I felt it. That was. what happened in Vegas around the slots. I was like, [laughter]. >> but I love that feeling. I really like. giving gifts. I really do. Especially. like I like when you just like. >> nail it. Like I love when you nail it. and that's like [clears throat] exactly. the person you thought about it ahead of. time. That's like the best feeling. Like. >> this year I'm all about like a little. pizza oven. >> So now I'm thinking about like I think. this will come out after we wrap, but I.

think for my like glam team I want to. get them like little pizza ovens for. their house. >> Wow, that is cuz there's like the Gazny. and there's the Ooni. Now. >> have you thought of the Solo Stove pizza. oven? >> Yeah, those are cool. >> Are they [laughter] still do they do. they still advertise with us? >> Uh it's been a while. >> The Solo Stove? Oh, the Solo Stove. >> You [laughter] got it. Did you You got. it cuz they advertised. >> Why the Solo Stove? >> I First of all, I I do legitimately I. never ever um I will never shill a. product that I don't honestly believe a. [snorts] product.

>> that I don't believe in. And I think. those missiles are doing their job. [laughter]. >> I'm constantly Our best our best. advertiser is the Rand Corporation. They. make a missile. [laughter] I mean, it. kills everything. But um but no, the. solo stove is I do like it and they do. make a pizza oven that we have back. here. But I'm saying this, hey, solo. stove, if you wandered away uh from. Conan O'Brien, you made a terrible. mistake, >> but I think a pizza oven is a great. idea. >> It's nice. It's nice. It's like they.

have like their houses that they're. doing and I I just built a pizza oven at. my house and I just used one of those. DIY like pizza oven kits and I'll tell. you, we used it for the first time a few. weeks ago. joy of like putting a pizza. in there and you're just like what? It. rises in 90 seconds. Like it's like. you're laughing. Like we were like it. felt like we were going to live forever. when we [laughter] were doing it. It was. so great. >> I was like this is amaz like wow. >> Who knew that heat and dough? >> Yeah, [laughter] you know. >> ancient.

>> cut to ancient Greeks stone age pre-B. bronze age man [laughter]. plus dough. But it is funny how removed. we get. >> in our world. We have apps. We have all. this stuff. And when someone really. introduces us to this is what a fresh. orange tastes [laughter] like. We lose. our mind. >> What? >> This whole time they had an orange. starburst. >> When someone explains [laughter] to me. kind of roughly how the planets move, I'm like, "What? [laughter]. >> We got to get the word out.". >> It's crazy. It's crazy.

>> The moon moves with us. >> Insane. [laughter] I saw like a You ever. just catch a SpaceX launch and you're. like, "What the," you know, and they're. like blasting like eight satellites in. the air that you have no idea like what. that is and why. That's insane. This. guy's just blasting satellites out into. the like unregulated like just non-stop. He is a bond villain. He is a bond. >> It also feels like metaphorical the way. he's like, forgive me spreads his seed. on Earth. It's like he's doing it in. space. >> Yeah. Like splooshing. Yes.

>> Tough man. He's colonized [laughter]. massive erect rockets. >> because they look so phallic. More than. just a normal rocket. They even have. >> he calls them. It's like one, two, 3. We've had a failure of. 4, which by the way, I've [laughter]. been there. Um, but. >> yeah, it's tough. four was tough. [laughter]. >> I mean, at least you have four It. was tough to see four go down. It. >> was really a dark day for space travel, [laughter] dude. Uh. uh I'm always curious when I'm talking.

to someone who I find effortlessly funny. and real. Okay. Please tell me where. does this come from? What is your origin. story? Your Marvel origin story. Who's. showing you stuff when you're a kid? And. what are you watching and what are you. seeing? >> Uh my grandma was really into comedy so. she would watch you. She would watch. Conan. Um she lived in the valley so we. could she would let me stay up and watch. stuff with her. She liked like early. adult swim. Um, she likes South Park. This is This is a How I mean this is a. very cool.

>> grandma. This is I mean that is unusual. I mean [clears throat] my grandmother. had she lived to be 120 would not have. shown me Space Ghost. >> Yeah. Yeah. We watch a lot of Space. Ghost. >> That's very. >> I know. Isn't that weird? And uh I can. say I've watched Saturday Night Live Mad. TV and. >> she was kind of immobile because she was. like diabetic and had a lot of health. problems. She was like a Vegas lady. like she lived really hard like cold 45. every night like smoked for a long time. like she was like very cracked like ah. like in a fun way. So it explained there.

was like a bodiness to her that I really. like loved. So she I think she really. got in there and then the year I tried. out for comedy sports my high school. improv team I think she passed away. So. that was when I started my my improv. career. But aside from just loving. comedy and always feeling like it was a. valid medium, I'm just I do think. everything's kind of inherently. interesting. And I think that I'm very. curious about the way the world is. And. I feel like I know a little bit about a. lot of things and it's interesting.

>> And I I also like when I'm talking to. people, finding out what they're interested in. It's like interesting to me when someone. lights up about. >> shoe shining or something. And so that's. just kind of how how I live my life. basically. That's what I got right away. is uh genuine. uh you have that light of I want to. know. I want to play and and combined. with humility of I don't know. everything. There's a lot of stuff I. don't know. And whenever someone comes.

into a room telling me how much they. know, I know that they're not a smart. person. >> Yeah. No, wisdom is you don't know. anything. >> Yeah. Wisdom is the more you learn, the. less you know. >> That's right. And every few years I find. I'm 35. Every few years I find I look. back and think, "Oh, I didn't know as. much as I thought I did even three years. ago.". >> But there's something very comforting in. like not being done. >> You know, there's something really on on. shrinking the show that I'm on. There is. something really cool about watching. Harrison Ford's arcs because there's. this is a guy who's still in progress.

and there's something to like, >> you know, even somebody who's in his 80s. is like still learning lessons and. there's something really comforting. about that. So, I I really care about. that. I look at Harrison Ford that way. I look at Martin Short that way, who I. just saw in New York. I look at Steve. Martin that way. I love looking at. >> people who are from, you know, the. generation uh ahead of me who. >> they're killing it. They're trying.

things. They're they're up on. everything. Um they're not calcifying. And I think uh that's the one thing I've. never wanted to do is be the person. who's like I don't know what this new. comedy is. I don't you know what is this. Tim [laughter]. >> making his faces you know I just think. I'm always trying to and it you know. [laughter] it let's I want to access I. get excited when I see new people being.

really funny funny in ways that it never. occurred to me. It makes me. >> enthusiastic. thing. I don't I think we. were talking about this too. I don't. like pretention in comedy like if. there's like uh when I was coming up in. comedy with all of the like companies. that I did and whatever there now in. retrospect there were like these guys. that were just dicks about comedy like. teaching me. >> that I think about all these classes. that I took where it was just like. someone who really understands improv. and sketch teaching class but being so. mean.

>> There's nothing worse than a young. improv man. >> Oh my god. [laughter] Like so mean for. no reason. And and then when I got the. Daily Show and I got to work with John, it was like a revelation of like, >> uh, oh, you don't have to be a mean. boss. Like, you don't, you know, there's. guys. >> I disagree here. [laughter]. >> I think cruelty has its place, >> right, Eduardo? >> Sure. >> I let you go a [laughter] while ago. >> Eduardo's weeping. I don't know if you. can see. He's like.

I also find there's something about. uh and it would be true for John on the. Daily Show. I think it was true for me. When there's a volume of work that needs. to be done, like we've got to make these. shows all the time, >> uh you find that when someone else has a. good idea, when someone else. >> can get the laughs, it doesn't cost me.

it it the boat it's a rising sea that. lifts all boats like I'm good I don't. care who gets and I think that is I I. think sometimes I mean I haven't. >> I imagine that sometimes when there's. very little space like sometimes I saw. bad behavior at Saturday Night Live. because it's one there's. >> 20 shows a year which when you think. about it if you take away the music it's. not a lot of real estate. >> a lot of people fighting to get their. sketch on and if you've been working all. week and you come in to see the board on.

Wednesday night to see if you got in or. not and your sketch is in lim is in the. dead man's the little index card has. been moved to the bottom of the board. It's devastating and so people, you. know, there can be some sharp elbows. because there's less space, I think. >> Yeah. And the turnover there is really. crazy. You know, it's not just like, oh, you had a bad few weeks. It's like, oh, no, no, it it it matters my livelihood. You know, it's like it's sometimes hard, too, cuz comedy, this is like our. careers, you know? this is like. something that you know we want to have.

sustainable jobs from this business that. would be really really great and I found. that when I I was at Uprise Citizens. Brigade when I got the Daily Show and it. was sort of that thing where the next. move was either Saturday Night Live or. The Daily Show. >> and uh you know both are great. I have. friends who have done Saturday Night. Live and been really happy with it. Um, but for me, um, The Daily Show was a. great fit because I'm I'm. [clears throat] really gentle and like. very sensitive and I needed like. >> someone to be really nice to me. That's. the only [laughter] I do way better. >> I think you made the right call.

>> Yeah. You know, you never know. But but. I I I do really better. I do a lot. better when people are nicer to me. I. don't I don't thrive when someone's like. withholding. >> My guess would be a gig on the Daily. Show as a correspondent means you will. get on air. >> Yeah. >> It's guaranteed. I think that's a very. smart move. Obviously, clearly I can say. it now because I'm ar I'm chair. quarterbacking, but [laughter] that is I. would like to think that's what I would. have advised you to do because um SNL. there are cast members who were there.

for a year and a half, but you didn't. really see them much. >> They didn't get the time. They didn't. and there are people that have that. didn't work on SNL and then went on and. I know one of your heroes is Julia Lou. Drifus. I mean, >> she technically it didn't work out for. her at SNL and she's become one of the. iconic comedians of all time. >> VEP, for my money, is is one of that her. performance in VEP is one of the most.

flawless. and the writing on that show and it's so. >> it's just tight like. [laughter] filthy. It's so mean. It's so. filthy. H I think about that performance. all the time. The amount of like of. nuance that she has for every single. moment. She's always listening. That's. like the kind of actor I want to be. And. it's I'm always like even I did like. high school plays and stuff. And we I. had really great drama teachers. I'm. like the product of a really good LD.

drama program that was underfunded, but. I had great performing arts teachers. And they would be like, "If you think we. can't see you back there because you're. not in the front of the stage, we're. gonna throw our sandals at you.". [laughter]. Because you think we can't see you, you. better freaking smile. I don't care. You. know, >> this is the famous sandal technique. [laughter]. >> This is the L USD like sandal technique, but it still sticks with me to this day. And and Julia's totally doing that. She's always listening. Um, I didn't.

catch that last part, but uh, [laughter]. but she. she um, and the other thing that that's. very cool about her is that she doesn't. she's one of those people that doesn't. know she's Julia Lou Drifus. >> Like, if I any time spent telling her. how amazing she is at her work, she'd be. like, "What are we talking about here?". >> You know, what do you think of this. avocado? [laughter]. >> Oh, that's Harrison. That's Harrison. >> Yeah, exactly. It's the same as Harrison. Ford. >> 100%. They're like people that have been. famous for so long that it's like. >> Were you intimidated by Harrison Ford?

Because when you first see him, it can. be. >> jarring. >> It can be Oh. Well, you had that. experience here on the podcast where he. walked in and he sat right in that seat. >> Yeah. >> And like amazing actor of my life for. me. Yeah. >> Yeah. He's No, he's the guy. >> Yeah. >> Anytime I think there's like you think. of the guy, you've got Tom Cruz kind of. the guy like the movie star. >> but weird guy. Tom Cruz. Weird guy. >> Yeah. Harrison's weird too. Um, Tom Tom, you know, >> I'll say this, too. I'm going to say. something. I've worked closely with Tom.

Cruz a bunch of times and spent like. time with him when we were shooting. something. >> So have I. Just so we're clear. >> Yeah. Me, too. >> That's a [laughter] different like, wait, I don't believe you. I'm new. >> That was Tomas Cruz. >> Oh, [laughter] yeah. >> Oh, I went on the cruise to Tomas. >> Yeah. Yeah. To the aisle of to St. Tom's. Um, no. Uh Tom Cruz is incredibly. like professional and also really nice. to everyone on set. >> I He's, you know, I'm going to stick up. for Tom Cruz here. He's he's uh.

>> he's um was just great. I was really. impressed and every time I've done. something with him, I've seen the same. guy over and over and over again. But I. was But Harrison, there's something. about, you know, I remember so clearly. You weren't born yet, but when Star Wars. came out, I. it was a cultural. earthquake. I had never seen a there was. so much explosion of fuss about this.

movie. And my [clears throat] brothers. and I went and we saw it. >> and I had never seen anything look like. that before. >> I was on the, you say, edge of your. seat, total edge of my seat, floored. And then it kind of changed a lot of. things. It was such a and Harrison Ford. is the one that popped in this way that. maybe even Lucas didn't expect, >> but like. >> that first scene I think in the bar, he.

pops and when he's bragging about the. Millennium Falcon and he's a wise ass. and he popped the way Clark Gable popped. >> 30 years before the way Jimmy Kagny po. he just popped as and that's the thing. That's very cruel about movies. It's It. just says it's movies say this is the. person. >> That's right. >> And it's Julia Roberts. It's her. >> Yeah. >> And you can do everything you want and. they the camera will just say nope, it's.

that one. You're okay, but it's that. one. And that was that's Harrison Ford. and it's been his I mean our whole. lives. >> This is actually [clears throat] really. perfect. I've been thinking about this a. lot because we watched Andor the last. the the last season of Andor. >> Perfect. >> Yes. Oh, I I love Andor. I love Andor. I. love it. I'm glad you see it. >> I binged with my son. We binged both. seasons. Hold on. You can jump in here. We did this. We binged both seasons with. my wife. >> Diego Luna. >> I love. >> I'm very much passionately in love with.

Diego Luna. And if there's No, no. I And. I'm going to take this even further. If. there's [laughter] I'm having surgery to. be able to have a child with Diego. >> It's very complicated. Let me say this. Very painful. [laughter]. Very painful. put you under for that. one. >> No. >> Have you checked with him? Is he even in. on this? >> I'm going to do this first. >> Okay, that's [laughter] Yeah, smart. >> And it's been suggested. You're not the. first one to say, "Hey, should you?" And. I'm like, "No, no, no. I want to go to. him with everything ready to, you know.". So, that's my choice. This has been nine. months of intense surgeries.

>> Well, so we did, did you do this? We did. Rogue One right after. >> Yes. >> And then we just started like all over. again. We just kept going. >> That's next. >> Oh, really? >> We did We did um. >> That's living. You want [laughter]. >> No, it feels good. No, it feels good. >> One day you'll have the money to live. this kind of life. [laughter]. >> You'll have the Disney Plus account. >> I spent it all on the cruise to Mos. [laughter]. >> That was your mistake. Um, you did the. same thing. I mean, I watched both. seasons of And I think it is.

>> my, you know, I think my shows this year. are uh Severance and andor. >> for just craftsmanship. I think good, you know, I have said this. before, but good people talk about. what's there's TV and then there's. movies. >> and I think you know uh what are we. doing? They are the the wall has fallen. between them. Yes. Technically movies. are. >> No, they're so cinematic. Like I love a. ride. >> Yes. And I feel like Andor did such a.

good job with the sets and the locations. and the specificity of like God, it just. looked gorgeous. >> and it broke my heart 35 times and it. elated me 36 times. Uh and it was just. >> and and so I watched it with my son, my. wife, and it just became this thing. like, okay, we're done with dinner. It's, [laughter] you know, in half an. hour after I feed the cats and we take. care of the dogs, we're going to watch. our andor for tonight. And when Andor. ended, I was we had the plan was all.

set. Now we watch uh Rogue One. We're. losing so much audience right now. [laughter]. >> I don't think you are. >> No, I don't think I don't think you are. at all. But I but anyway, uh I I feel. the same way about severance and I've. said that the good stuff right now I. don't think I think we're going to get. past like I I don't know how it's ever. going to happen but having like just did. the Oscars last year and I thought you. know I'm looking at amazing stuff that. are films but how are they really that. different from the cinematic beautiful.

stuff that is also made for streaming. where the movies that are on Oscars are. going to show up there if they're not. there already. >> They're in movies for a day in theaters. and then So, I don't know. I'm just I. >> Were you saying you liked it because it. like blurred the line between. >> I loved that. Uh it was you could tell. everyone was. I mean that writer creator is so. talented and all the performers are so.

amazing and as you said they created. these worlds. All of them seemed. completely authentic. and it was true to itself, meaning it. would give you really bad news. It would. give you good news and that's everything. a movie does. So. >> now that commercials are no longer a. part of these streaming shows, >> it's really the same magic. We used to. go to movies because I'm going to give. you money not to show me a commercial. You can show some up front, but. once Star Wars stop starts, you're not. going to 15 minutes in go, you know,

we've got a new soap for the cracks and. pits and everywhere in between. [laughter]. >> Which, by the way, >> I hate when they're graphic. I hate when. it's like So, you're like, I was. sweating all over, even under my tit. You're like, what? [laughter]. >> Are you tired of titer? [laughter] But. you know, yeah, we're going to take a. sidetrack here because those commercials. are everywhere and they say things like. it's for pits and privates and well. too. [laughter] And you're.

like, we get it. >> We're okay. You've said enough. We used. to have an ad for something like that. here. That was. >> bedet. >> Yeah, lux. A bet is different. A bet is. like. >> the only We're the only ones Americans. are the only ones that use bed. We. should have more bets, I think. >> But this this whole they got to come. with a war. I'm watching basketball and. this this lady's like, "My tits reek.". And you're like, [laughter] "Okay." And. then also, "Don't tell them. Don't. >> Don't tell who? >> Don't tell everybody else our tits.". Like, [laughter].

>> it's kind of weird. >> But they double down on it, too. They. keep doubling down. And they'll say, and. you'll say, "No, no, I really get it.". And then later in the ad, they'll say, "And remember the taint, [laughter]. this small area. inch to 1 in and a half [laughter]. between genitals and asshole." Yep. When. you're stinks [laughter]. and I I'm I'm I'm horrified. What's. happened? >> I asked uh just I I was thinking about. Harrison and I asked him if his tits.

>> I [laughter] was like, "Dude, what's. your tits like?" Uh he's like, "What?". Uh no. I asked him. I was like, "I liked. Andor so much." We were in the middle. I. like, "Have you seen Andor?" And he's. like, "What?" I was like, "Have you seen. Endor?" He's like, "What is that?" And I. was like, "Um, it's this thing where. [laughter] it's like" And he was like, "No, I would never." He's like, "I would. never watch it." And I was like, "Right. Of course not." Like, "You don't want to. talk about this. >> anymore at all.". >> You're Han Solo. >> But when I watched when I watched him. again while cuz we're still in. production for the show. We're like. finishing up. It was so surreal to see. this like guy. He's so deeply hot in.

Star War. He's just so He pops in that. way. And I cannot believe in my insane. goofy career that I get to work with. this guy. And um. >> a couple Fridays ago, there was a really. tender scene that we shot for season 3. that was just he and I. And uh I stayed. to like run lines with him while they. were setting up the scene. And it was a. big it was a big scene between our. characters. And uh he just the the whole. crew was silent, which is what happens.

when it's like they know it's a big. scene. and he's like coming into my. character's office and he's sitting. across like as far as Conan is and he. walks in and he sits and he does this. scene and it was like. almost like you know in Oenheimer when. the blast actually goes off and they put. on their glasses and it's like silent. It was that. >> and he was destroying he was like. absolutely destroying the scene in every. way. Like every single line he was.

weeping. He was joyful. He was all of. those things, but it was one of those. moments where they had to come in and be. like, "Okay, Jessica, you're like. weeping, so I don't know if you'd be. weeping as the car." I was like, "No, this guy is giving me like this guy is. the be this guy is the best. He's he's. the goat." And I see a lot of great I've. seen a lot of great actors, but it was. it was one of those moments where I just. felt like, "No, this is actually like. the greatest living actor and this is. someone that I get to to work with." But.

it was like being too close to a to a. fire. It was insane. >> And I work with him [clears throat] all. the time, but it was like chill. Like I. was getting chills while he was doing. it. >> And I think you'll know the scene when. you see it. But it was like very like. what did I get to do in my life to. [laughter] to be here to to work with. this guy? It's insane. >> Do you have the number of your surgeon? Cuz I might want to give a [laughter]. >> right and you're going to be away. >> Anyway, >> turns out he's not that good. [laughter]. >> No. No. There have been some infections.

>> Um, >> uh, it was crazy. >> But you know what's interesting is I. have learned I've had the same feeling. of how did this get to happen for me? And I'm learning uh I'm quite a bit. older than you. I've learned over time. to just my grandfather who was a a a. traffic cop in Western Massachusetts in. the 1920s and 30s. Um, he used to have. this saying, he was kind of like WC.

Fields when he was older. He was really. funny. >> WC Fields, sorry. >> Thank you. Um, [laughter]. I think one of the great comics, my. little chickity. Uh, I'm trying to he he. was uh he was always playing um. >> I know Looney [laughter] Tunes. It. sounds like feels a little along. Can't. you bother me? Like I'm with you. uh he. worked with, you know, May West and he. everything I'm saying is digging this uh. I'm old reference, but I do think people. should know WC Fields because he might.

be. >> one of my favorite comedians of all. time. He's. >> and his stuff is as funny today as it. was in the 30s4s. Uh and um. >> amazing. So anyway, uh he was this kind. of had all these sayings and he used to. say take what you can get and ask for. more. Like he was going against the. Catholic, I don't deserve this, I. shouldn't have this. Oh, who me? He was. like when something good comes your way, >> take it. Yeah. You know, and I think. you've. >> grabb it and just take it because.

there's some trouble coming down the. road at some point. So just enjoy this. >> We're all going to die. So [laughter]. >> I have a way around that. >> You have a surgeon? Yeah, I have a. certain. >> Hold on. I think I'm going to keep this. >> and put it on [laughter] my board, but. I'm going to write. Do you mind if I. write WC Fields so I don't forget? >> Cool. I can I say just from What is. this? [laughter] Use that calligraphy? >> No, it's ink. It's Yeah, >> that's an expensive pen. That's a nice. expensive pen. This is a 20some dollar. pen, but I which is, you know, not a big.

pen. [laughter] It's. >> Can I try it? Can I see? >> Yeah. I really love it. >> You use this the most. >> I draw and scribble all the time. Oo, >> and I love that. And it has little um. >> little cartridges. Anyway, I should do. [laughter] a calico. >> and a special pad. Conan, stop it. [laughter] Um. >> in her voice not helping in her voice. too late. Hey, I have a question for. you. I have a I have a question for you, which is there's this path.

uh people like us that have this. affinity for comedy where you're going. along, you're doing stuff, and then. there's a hard right and a hard left. >> Standup or improv. >> And I I don't know I don't know about. you because I think you'd be I and but. you chose I'm guessing you chose improv. to the exclusion of that's what I did. I. kind of knew. I think I really love great standups. I. admire what they do. I'm fascinated by.

it. I'm always telling John Melany, I. don't know how you do that. >> Um. >> I'm, you know, I I I really have great. respect for them, but I always knew my. thing is over here where I'm in scenes. >> and I'm babbling in the moment. >> Yeah. Yeah. I have that, too. I like um. like if if we were in school and it was. like doing an exam and I had to do like. an essay in a in an exam as opposed to.

like an ABC like I would do an essay and. just get like an A++ on it cuz I could. like my way through and figure. it out and just. >> babble babble babble. But I I started. in high school doing doing improv cuz we. had an improv team like the layout of. comedy sports is or they used to just. have high school teams like you would. have a football team and then you would. play whose line is it anyway against. different. >> it's so hard to make it competitive but. also. >> it was fake competitive competitive the. ref could decide it's more so you're.

just doing this short form style thing. but I loved um. >> acting in scenes. I knew I wanted to be. an actor. Yeah. And then I then I. learned, oh, I have an improv team and. this is a way I could go. And then I. just kind of stuck with that. But I like. >> the teams. Like I like, you know, standup is very like isolated and in. your head and you're working out bits. and then you're presenting them. >> and that's so vulnerable to me that it. kind of scares me quite a bit. And I do. admire standups, but with improv and. sketch and then with acting, like I knew.

I wanted to do that. >> and what I. >> I didn't know what the path was for that. exactly cuz I didn't want to be like a. lifelong sketch person. But being able. to fold that into my acting technique is. really helpful. And so even at the Daily. Show, you're I I got that when I was 22, so it felt like I was college, like in. grad school, cuz I was learning so much. And I didn't finish school. And um I was. working with all these writers and field. producers. So we were not only that but. then I was traveling kind of doing that. man on the street or sitting in.

someone's living room and interviewing. them saying like we should all eat. babies like I don't know stuff like that. like interviewing people you know face. to face doing those field pieces but. that. >> legitimate view [laughter]. we should all eat babies there's a lot. of them and they're nutritious. >> Yeah. [laughter]. And uh yeah, so the baby eaters, I would. like interview them, but I learned and. then we would have to go back and edit. these things for a couple weeks to the. taste of mostly one man, which was John. So then I learned. >> how to produce. So it became a bit more.

amorphous where I didn't realize this, but I was like co-producing and. co-directing these little bits and so I. learned so much about. >> storytelling in that way. >> It is great training if you're ever. going to host a late night show. I don't. know if they're going to be more of. those in the future, but but if you're. going to host something and interview. people, um it that is improv. It's. listening, responding. Don't go don't go. negative. Don't stop the flow. >> Don't make it about you. >> Well, no. I disagree [laughter] with.

that. >> Don't make it. Jessica, [laughter]. >> Jessica, the one thing I've learned in. this talking to you is that I'm an. impressive guy. [laughter]. But I do. >> And then I'm from El Kacho Nachos. >> Elacho Nachos. You're Peggy Hill Spanish. from [laughter] like King of the Hill. where it's like. um but yeah. No, I acting when I'm in. the zone is just reacting 100%. And even. with the daily show sometimes with a. field piece, you can just get out with a.

look. Like if I can just get out with. like a. >> Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. >> Like a Jim Halpert like. >> I love it. You can you can say so much. And so I really like for me acting is. natural listening and Julia is perfect. at that. We're talking about especially. in VEP. >> Julia Lou Drifus. Yeah. She's uh. >> well also she never loses her I mean she. did it in Elaine as Elaine in Seinfeld. She did it throughout her career all. these different shows all these. different things. But you know she's. always in it completely 100%. And it's.

commitment. Just commit. I believe in. commitment. Commitment. >> I hate halfass I hate it. And. and it works for some people. I know. [laughter]. >> those are small. Um. >> Eduardo's watching. What uh what. football match you watching right now? Come on Eduardo. We busted him recently. >> Were you watching something? >> I was watching it. >> No, we great content. >> Watch it. He's got to listen to you guys. talk. >> And but you know what? We only knew. [laughter] because someone sitting next.

to him sold him out on commitment to the. bit. commitment to the bit or betrayal. of a good friend. >> Same deficit. >> But I I don't like like halfass stuff. I. don't like cool comedy. I don't like. cool. We were talking about that. I like. earnestness 100%. And I've comedy sports. was really earnest and that got you know. it's not like UCB is cool. Like and I'm. I'm a UCB person so it's totally fine. But but there is like sort of a punkness. about UCB that's different than like. Groundlings and Second City and. >> comedy goofiest dorkiest one. It's why.

would it get why would why would it get. gimmicky and Yeah. >> It's kind of the Disneyland of it's. clean. >> A lot of church people would come to. [laughter]. >> it's clean. a plate afterwards. >> Yeah. Well, truly if you actually if you. like said a curse word or something. brown bag fell the ref would put a brown. bag [laughter]. well here. But and you know what's funny is I used. to think like cuz it was so not cool. especially coming up in like the UCB.

heyday I was like yeah just in comedy. sports since I was in high school that I. didn't learn anything like I was like oh. this is just some bull bull that I do. but no I learned so much you to be tight. and what your tools are limited there. you play with different people like. >> stage time is I mean time in the cockpit. is is the answer. >> and the thing that where you couldn't. use foul language taught you you had to. be funny. You couldn't have a crutch. >> parameters. Yeah. So now I can like act. I mean we say on the show a lot but.

[laughter]. >> but I I can turn it on and turn it off. And also that what's great about comedy. sports is there's like this respect for. the audience. You want to give them like. a really premium experience whereas. other things is like hey welcome. We're. going to do this. We're going to do some. make them upset. But comedy sports it's. like hello this is the thing that. [laughter] we're going to do. Right. >> And it teaches you like in order to. satire something, you have to love it as. opposed to satiring something and just. coming from this like look at this. stupid show, you know? It it taught me. >> earnestness. I feel the same.

>> in a way that I I'll continue to have. forever, you know? It's a good lesson. I'm not afraid to try stuff. >> Did you study theater at Cal State Long. Beach? >> No. No, I didn't. I I was doing a Price. Brigade. I like convinced my parents to. let me go to Cal State Long Beach half. like part-time and then let. [clears throat] me do UCB classes in. comedy sports. >> You know what's funny? You You had You. did exactly the right thing. Which. >> I made a presentation. I think I made a. PowerPoint presentation. >> Oh, really? Yeah. Mother, father, you. know, click. [laughter]. >> Yeah. I was like, "So, this is the Mount.

Rushmore of Upright Citizens Brigade. Amy Polar, Matt W." Like I was like. explaining to my like black parents from. Ohio like what this [laughter] Upright. Citizens Brigade thing was. And at the. time it was like Aziz and Sari. I'd see. like Rob Hubil, Derek Comedy, which was. Donald Glover's old, you know, I would. see like Ben Schwarz, like all these. really cool, funny people that everybody. knows. >> And I just was like, "Oh, this is where. I need to be." It was like people were. standing. It was so electric. >> But you knew. >> and that's what it's all about. And and. and again, not just comedy. I always try.

and open this up and say, >> uh, not that, you know, to turn this. whole thing into a TED talk, but. >> this is what we did at the tech. conference. >> Yeah, I know. I know. But it's. [laughter] like there is a when you know. something you know and uh you I I do. think go to where they're doing the. thing that you love even if it means. okay I'm getting paid 50 cents. Oh yeah. >> But so I've got to do these other things. to keep it going. But go where they're. doing the thing that you love. And if.

that means you're not even in Santa's. workshop, you're outside, but you're. talking to some of the elves and every. now and then you get to go, I'd paint. that choo choo train a little, you know, and whatever. And then eventually you're. in there and then eventually. >> it's just being around. Yeah. >> Yeah. It's being around and showing up. So even then I remember I was doing the. comedy sports and then I was doing you. know UCB and I was I remember sleeping. in my my my car like in between shows. and and going to auditions and I mean it.

it was a really special time. I. [laughter] believe. >> I'm just laughing cuz I remember I have. such a clear memory of taking this. booking. Someone saw me do improv and I. was maybe 22 23 and they said we want. you to be in this infomercial and it was. shot deep in the valley. It was for a. company that made music that uh it was. for an association of musical instrument. salespeople and they wanted me to do be. one of the players. So I drove I had a. terrible car that I bought at the.

airport. It's called a 1977 Isuzu Opal. that was literally falling apart and it. had an iHeart My Poodle sticker on the. back that I tried to get off and I. scraped some of it off and the bumper. was coming with it and I'm like forget. it. I'm just going to leave it on. But I. remember getting knowing so little that. they said, "Yeah, you're going to do. this thing um and take care of your own. makeup." I didn't know what that meant. So, I went to a drugstore and bought one. of those powder things with makeup on. it. And I remember getting up at 4 in.

the morning, driving forever east of LA, uh like past mountains and stuff to find. this place. And this is before. >> you could geollocate off a satellite or, you know, use your Apple maps or. whatever. So, I had this big thick book. of maps called the Thomas Guide. I went. way out there and I parked in the. parking lot half an hour before I was. needed and took out my one little puff. and I'm [laughter] looking at my skin is. not a perfect and I'm like gloop gloop. and I went in and I think if you looked. at it now it look they found a body.

[laughter]. and they made it look like it's talking. but I did that cuz I thought this is my. way. >> That's right. >> This is my way. >> Yeah. And it was that day, you know, also doing things that fail like failing. a lot of times. Like I did so much bad. stuff. >> just to see I can't identify with. Yeah. Yeah. Okay. [laughter] Okay. >> Home run after home run. >> Everybody loved it. >> Yeah. But so bad scenes, >> but that is good to just stay connected. to. >> this has gone badly and it has gone well. and that is always going to be the case.

>> and calibrating like you know what was. nice too about the daily show is John. John would let me calibrate. He would, you know, you worked in late night. It's. like it goes up because we need it up, you know, and then we'll we'll tack it. the next day. We'll do another show, you. know, that one of those days. Throw it, you know, throw it up. So, I learned. that, but then also I learned, oh, that. didn't necessarily work. Oh, that didn't. But John. >> wouldn't say anything. He wouldn't like. berate me. He wouldn't send me notes. [clears throat] And I'd had up until. that point a lot of comedy teachers who. did. He just sort of let me figure it.

out. M. >> and uh he was just kind of the the the. teacher I needed at that time. It really. worked for me. >> Good. Well, I don't agree with John that. you [laughter]. >> I think berating has its it's how it's. done and I think vicious notes work. [laughter]. >> Um vicious, >> but I'm going to say passive aggression. >> That is a wonderful long jokes about uh. how the joke the sketch didn't work. [laughter] I have gone way over time. with you because.

>> uh you are intoxic. You're great. You're. just great to talk to intoxicate. You. are crazy. >> No, no. I'm saying I'm saying this has. been so uh [laughter] effortless and fun. and natural and then I'm I you put a red. light up like 10 minutes ago like well. this is usually. >> Oh, that's what that is. I saw that. That was a long time. That was more than. 10 minutes ago. I think it [laughter]. was I we went way over and it's because. this is what I experienced when we did. that thing together. I was just like. her. More time with her, please. Please.

>> It's getting. >> I'll come back anytime. >> I'll come back anytime. >> More time with her, please. >> More time with her, please. I don't. think it's creepy at all. >> More time with her, please. >> I'm going to let you next time we talk, I have to talk to you about you are. quite tall and I'm wondering that's got. to have influenced your. >> It's crazy you said. Let's talk about. real quick. Yeah. Okay. >> It's crazy you said that to me cuz. you're like the tallest guy. >> I'm the tallest man that ever. >> When I saw you in person, I was like, "Oh my god, he's tall, you know, and it. was nice though. It was more. comforting." Is your wife tall?

>> She's tall, but she's not she's not like. me. Um that would be that would be. wrong. >> Um I don't know why it would be wrong, but u. >> Are your kids tall? >> Uh my son is quite tall. He's a little. taller than me. >> Wow. >> Yeah. But he we live near a nuclear. reactor when he was coming home. [laughter]. >> And he has super strength. Simpson power. plant. Yeah. Cool. >> And [laughter]. um. >> I'm scared of him. >> Yeah, you should be. Uh turns green when. he gets mad. Um. >> was there was there something you're. going to say about me being tall?

>> No, I was going to say it. I have heard. women that are tall say, "Oh, I it was. awkward for me earlier on." And I think. that's too bad because I I just I think. own it. It must be, you know, own it. And if you're tolerant Oh, you had to. grow into it. Yeah. people. We have. these beauty standards based on what's. repeated in the media and we develop. this view based on where we live about. the way people are supposed to look and. whatever you're exposed to is what. people think is right. And so.

>> you're like a 6' tall black lady. You're. like, "Oh, I look different than what's. on TV." And so you develop like this, you know, normal 13, 14y old complex, which is what I had. >> Yeah. >> And I was tall. I was tall early. I had. like 13. >> And uh it did it but it but it informed. so much of who I am. It [clears throat]. I don't know what it did, but it's. something that as I got older, I was. really happy. Especially I knew I wanted. to be an actor when I was a kid. I. didn't see a lot of tall. >> Yeah. >> tall actresses. Maybe Sigourney Weaver. Feel like Queen Latifah might be pretty. tall, but there's not like a ton.

>> No. >> Um so it always felt. >> and it used to be like a death sentence. for an actress. >> because. >> um it meant that the male lead like Alan. Lad had to stand on six apple boxes. So. >> Oh my god. One of those stories. Harrison's always like, "I used to be on. contract at this studio and I made a. hundred bucks a week." Like he's Oh, trust me. We had him here and he was. bitching. And I'm like, "Shut up over. it." [laughter]. >> Oh, he's not Jerry Takovski. Jerry. Takowski was the guy that told him he. needed to get an Elvis haircut. And he.

was like, "Jerry Takovski." I'm like, "Yeah, [laughter] that sounds like a. rough day in 1968." But I think it all. went your way. >> I will say it made me like in comedy. like, "God, that man is not over it.". It's funny that you guys heard about. >> Guess what? We all have our stuff. >> That's right. >> It doesn't matter who you are. It's Tom. Cruz, Harrison Ford. I don't care. >> You know, uh, Tom Hanks, you pick the. people at the very top. I mean, presidents have are like, "God damn, at. the time that, you know, Iowa didn't go. my way." Like, you are the president.

>> Yeah. Oh, yeah. >> They don't. No one does. >> Yeah. But I think with comedy, it made. me feel like equal to men that I was. playing against. like it it always made. me feel. >> like. not as. boopy cuz I was like I don't know how to. describe it like not as cute in a way. that I'm like I'm just a baby doing baby. things. It was like [laughter] even. though that's how I got on the Daily. Show, it was like I felt like oh I'm. taller than these guys so I'm just going. to it informed my presence.

>> Well, that's the way you hold yourself. if you hold yourself as someone who's. is comfortable in your, you know, comfortable in your body, comfortable in. your skin, like comfortable being you, and I and so to me, that's the key to. everything there. And the flip side's. true, too. Like someone like Sabrina. Carpenter is like, "Yeah, I'm whatever. she is, 51.". >> She's like, "Yeah, that's" and. >> that's who she is. Yeah. >> That's who I am. And no one's. complaining. So, um, >> have you ever interviewed her? Like, I. would love to see you guys standing next. to each other. >> No, that would be fun. [laughter]. >> So, you don't want me to interview you. You just want me to stand next to her.

like it's a circus attraction. Come see. Sabrina Carpenter. Stand next to the. wonder freak. [laughter]. Very small versus very tall. The singer. and the guy with the zinger. >> Okay. >> All right. I'm going to shut it down and. scene. >> Love it. >> It was absolutely a joy talking to you. Come on back. Say hi to everyone at. Shrinking and thank you for uh sharing. your glow with us. >> Thank you. intoxicating. >> intoxicating.
