Kaitlin Olson Doesn’t Mind Fans Calling Her A Bird | Conan O'Brien Needs A Friend

When you put something out in the world. and you're and you're seen a certain. way, fans react to you in a certain way. And for so many years as D, people know. you a certain way. Oh, yeah. And that is. not who you are. No. But I've but I I. heard this anecdote once that uh the. Three Stooges, the actual people who. were the Three Stooges, the you know, the Mo Howard and Larry and what when. they would go out in the world, people. who were fans would come up and slap. them. Slap them, hit them, and do the.

eye poke. Get your fingers away from my. eyes. Yeah. Because they they were like, "No, no, I love you. Hey, Curly. How are. you?" And they would and they would jab. them in the eyes and it was a huge. problem. for them. And but I'm thinking if you're. there's there's part of D I mean you're. this very attractive cool actress. Well, you know what I mean. No, you're you're. you're I do know. I don't know where Rob is right. now. Feels like he's not showing you the.

proper attention. I just I'm sorry. That's right. Put it. on Rob. Yeah. Yep. He's off somewhere. eating a potato. I know. and I'm here. talking to you about how attractive you. are and talented as an actor and what a. career you've had. Um, and I don't know. I I don't know if you have that syndrome. where people come up to you and then Oh, yeah. D's a bird. Shut up bird. A lot. A. lot of shutup bird. Mostly shut up bird. Yeah. On a daily basis. And you're like. with your kids. Yeah. They love.

it. They think it's the best thing in. the world. Sona, I bet you've done that. Have you screamed shut up? I was going. to yell, "Hey bird, shut up bird when. you walked in." I was like, "I. shouldn't." I love it. The most fun is. when people do it in the comment section. of whatever social media and then I have. so many fans jump on it and be like, "You think she hasn't heard that before? You know, she's other things that I'm. like, I find it hilarious. It doesn't. bother me at all. Calling someone a bird. is so not an insult. It's the. stupidest." Don't you love it when.

people come to your defense on social. media for something that didn't need. defending? Yes. I'm like, "They're. calling me a bird. Who cares?" But I was. very worried. Very worried is maybe a. little strong. But I did have a lot of. thoughts about like, oh, I bet this. show, this show might let a lot of my. Sunny fans down or my the Mick fans down. who just want me to do hard comedy balls. to the wall kind of. Yeah. Just tell. dick and ball jokes all day long and set. people on fire, you know? That's all.

anyone wants from me, right? Um and have. men yell at me and call me a bird. Um, so I was like, "Oh, or I don't know how. pe like the general public is going to. receive this." I feel like I've got the. moms and grandmas with this one. Um, but. people are really liking it, which the. reviews have been great. Yeah. Yeah, they really have. And um, it's okay. I. guess we're all human, so when you're. waiting around when you're. Why do you always take us into the. gutter? There's something for the old.

fans. There you go, guys. There you go, F. and they're like, "Hey, there she's. back." It started to get real serious. there, but then it was okay again. D is back. The uninitiated or people who. wouldn't know would say, "Oh, by this. point, you know, you wouldn't worry what. people would say." Of course you would. Of course I would. Oh, yeah. Well, you. must be very happy cuz it's people are. loving it. I was Oh, yeah. The even. filming the pilot between filming the. pilot and watching it when I got it, I.

didn't watch it right away. I was so. nervous. I was just like I I I really. enjoy being in control and I felt very. out of control with this one cuz I just. it's a different genre. Um just a lot of trust and like I said I. mean I'm just used to 17 seasons on a. show where we're all doing it together. This was me just trusting this woman and. I'm very glad that I did. She was. incredible. But um yeah, I care I care. very much and I was scared to show it to. Rob. Rob's the harshest critic I've ever.

met in my life. And when he liked it, I. was like, "We did it, guys. We did it." Now, would Rob Okay, this is interesting because this is. someone who is your comedic partner, but. also your life partner. Brutally honest. Brutally honest. Brutally honest. Doesn't matter if we're. married. Yeah. He wouldn't be cruel. about it, but he'd say something like, "Oh, no." You know what he would do? He. would give me a million notes even. though it was already finished and. edited. He would give me so many notes.

Right. You're like, "No, it's on. We're. watching it on television on television. right now. It's airing on ABC right. now." No, no, no. Just trust me. Just. call the editor for reruns. Yeah. That's. right. Never give up. That's a fascinating dynamic. It's very. true. Yeah. Yeah. But he liked it. When. I show my wife things that we're gonna. do, I mean, she's she's honest, but she. she wouldn't say, "Oh, that's bad." But. I can tell she's got very, you know, Liza has these beautiful big eyes and.

sometimes they get sad there. There's a. little sadness in them even though she's. smiling and I know. Yeah. And I'm like, "No, this isn't good." And then she goes. to her closet and pulls out one of 70. fleces she has now cuz she's rolling in. dough. All she did was go get Yeah, it's my. Gucci fleece. I love Liza. Yeah, Liza's great. Yeah. Yeah. She's She flies to Paris and has.

fittings and then comes back and it's. still a fleece. vest and she puts the Patagonia label. over the Gucci label. Just smells like. perfume. Yeah. Yeah. And then she says, "Let's go get some cured salmon. Hang. out by the water. Sounds great. Yeah. Um, well, that's. that is amazing that you have figured. that you two have that dynamic. Yeah, it's he's he's Can you do it with him? Can you look at his stuff? Can you look. at Rob's stuff and say, "Uh, yeah. Ooh,

good question." Uh, this is going to. sound super lame. I I think Rob's got. incredible taste, so there's not really. anything he's made that I haven't liked, but no, that's not my personality. I. think I would find things. I do that. thing where you go see a friend in a. play and you have to find things that. you liked about it because their acting. sucked and then you just give them those. things. I've never seen more than one person in. a play cuz they're going to know. I've. only seen one play in my life. Oh no.

Yeah. It was three weeks ago. I only. have one friend and it was her best. friend in the world. Oh no. Yeah. Jenny. Tyler is Gandhi. Jenny. Jenny, I shaved my head. Your. head? You have a very round head, Jenny. That part where you're not eating was. really probably really good for your. diet. Yeah. Jenny Tyler is gone. Well, she.

is. It's playing on Highland. Go see it. Go see it at the Coronet Theater. Check. it out.
