Nikki Glaser Was Inspired By Conan’s Episode Of “Hot Ones” | Conan O'Brien Needs A Friend
do you feel the same way do you do you. say yes to things that you're scared of. and then do you dread it yes I say yes. to things and it's funny cuz you've been. around for this Sona but I'll say yes to. things and they always say the same. thing you're going to like they're. they're almost hoping I don't say yes. because they know the hell that I'm. going to go through but then they're. going to be part of it oh yeah because. I'm going to be going oh great great. okay so this is now in 6 weeks how am I. supposed to do this this can't be done. no one's ever stood up and done this.
like yeah they do it all the time like. hot ones I really want to ask you about. what your preparation was going into. that because think there was any. preparation what I mean the only. preparation was Dr Royo and so my first. thought was um I don't want to I don't. want to just taste the wings and talk. about the wings um I have to go in and. be a total I just have to and I. have to have a physician present and. that has to be Jose but that's kind of. all I knew and then uh everything else.
from then is just um this has to keep. ramping up from the thing that just. happened cuz I've never I mean I've seen. most of what you've done and I've never. seen you um you know you're not someone. who drinks a lot and you you don't lose. control you're always in control even if. you're seemingly out of control right. and I felt like it was the first time i'. had ever seen you maybe on the brink of. losing control because you you were in. so much pain it was but you still but. you were figh you still had it and it.
was one of the most brilliant things. I've ever seen it was I I've read. everything afterwards about what you. know all the interviews you've done and. I've seen you talk about it on the show. and I I W I've watched his uh interview. with you on this podcast uh Dr Royo on. this podcast countless times and shown. everyone I think is one of the funniest. 20 minutes of I've ever seen in my life. of any it was so funny that he. was I Oh I thought I was meant to take. your pulse no I know what the is one.
funniest lines I've ever in my God bless. Jose and you know what's really funny is. I I read so many comments of people. saying that they thought Jose was going. to come in as himself and that I was. going to be myself and we were going to. cop to and just do like a behind the. scenes it's like no you that's not. what we're doing so perfect it's going. to be this is going to be our. relationship for the the rest of our Liv. my favorite thing of the year but I but. I want to know if uh when you when the. cuz I I don't think I've heard you talk. about what the pain was that you were. experiencing in that moment if I think.
something's funny and it sounds crazy. but if I think something's funny and. it's going well the performance energy. or whatever that just takes over and I. I've a a car filled with big jockey guys. backed over my foot about 10 years ago. and I think broke it and I was having a. good time and rather than ruin the. evening I just decided it my foot. isn't broken so proceeded to go and have. a lot of fun with these people and then. woke up in the morning and my wife saw.
my foot and she it was all like didn't. look like a foot anymore and she said we. got to go to the hospital and I went no. we're just going to keep going and it's. going to go away and it. did wow now you walk like the elepant I. know I know I didn't say it was a smart. thing to do and there are times listen. there are times kids when you should go. to the hospital I come from kind of. tough tough-minded people tough people. where they could just compartmentalize. really well yeah and my father once had.
um uh he had a big surgery and this is a. bunch of years ago and they had to go in. and like pretty much cut open like his. his torso and do this big operation for. colon cancer and he survived it and he. but they they sewed him up and he woke. up and he's a doctor so he knows that. time in the hospital is dangerous and. that medications that sedate you and and. kill pain slow recovery.
so he woke up he yanked everything out. he got up put on his clothes with like. this giant Frankenstein Stitch down the. side and I flew home to visit him in the. hospital but I going to drop my bags off. at home first and be there just when he. comes out of surgery and I ring the bell. for my you know brother to answer and. the door opens and it's my father white. as a sheet and he's like how are you and. then I said oh Dad Dad you should be in. the hospital he went I'm fine and and uh.
then I said well I'm going to after a. while I said I'm going to take Mom to a. restaurant you know take her out for a. restaurant and he went I'm coming too oh. my God and we went to like a fish. restaurant in brooklyne village and he's. went this is. lovely and like blue foam is coming out. his mouth and I have a bit of him in me. which is I've always thought you know if. I'm about to go out and do something and. someone you know I'm going to say lower. caliber bullet but.
22 and I got hit and maybe it missed a. vital area but still bad I'll go and do. the thing yeah I and then I'll come. backstage and I'll say Sona I think uh. it's time yeah to go to the nearest. hospital so many times have you seen it. I've seen you in that mode many times at. this stage in my career I'm no spring. chicken and at this stage in my career. it's fun to see I I think we're we're. pushing it to like a slightly new area. so let's do that now cuz when am I going.
to get to do it again yeah you know what. I mean that's and I think that's what. we're all that's not just me that's if. you get a chance at this point it was so. inspirational I mean I really. comedically I was like I want to go. there someday I'm not ready to go there. I'm not ready there the sauce is ready. to to let go in that way and to to just. trust that EV that I don't know there. was just something you trusted yourself. in that moment like you had just arrived. I was like Conan knows that he doesn't. he he can be untethered and unhinged and.
it's just going to it was just so. confident and and I did have a feeling. that you weren't feeling it I mean I. know you were feeling but like I just I. could sense that but what as soon as you. got in the car is that when the pain. came on uh the pain was also like well I. walked out and there was like a dressing. room and I went into the dressing room. and made the terrible mistake of wiping. my eye and that burned like crazy that's. just like acid in your eye so I was. remember washing out my eye then tried.
to clean up as best I could and then I. hopped in the car with David hopping who. took over his you know assistant uh for. Sona and um he's driving me back home. because I that we knew I probably. shouldn't be driving and my hand started. burning and I've talked about this but. underneath my wedding ring which burns. anyway cuz I think it was a yeah I mean. come on that was just a mistake I should. be out there bucking and sucking. man we're mostly sucking oh no wait or.
I don't know I'm all confused. now but anyway underneath my wedding. ring it was burning and burning and. burning and I took it off and it was all. discolored it just cuz yeah it's an acid. and it got trapped underneath was. everyone in the crew just like all of a. sudden triage to you cuz everyone seems. so shocked and I've talked to some. people that have worked on the show and. said no one no one's ever done anything. like that and we were all really. concerned and what I wasn't getting a. lot of concern I me people was getting.
oh this will get some clicks oh they. were so excited this be good for. BuzzFeed oh it was so good this will do. all right but I I whatever happens to. him and hey if he dies more clicks. that's that's the mood that's what I was. getting from that I always sign whenever. someone I never know what to like write. when people are signing things and I'm. just like if I die tragically sell this. for a lot because that's the cuz it will. that is just writing someone like giving. someone $1,000 if I die in some crazy. way and then I and I only write that 100.
times that's 100 people out there that. have me predicting some like that is. giving someone a gift but I want to say. that like I relate to the pain thing. because I wear you know like I try to. dress up when I'm on stage I try to like. live this kind of like pop star life. that I might not ever have in my in my. own life when I'm on stage I dress up. and I wear these heels and PE after the. show people are like how did you do that. for an hour what 20 minutes you're up. there and I don't feel it at all but the. second the second I stop out of step out. of the spotlight my feet eight I I throw.
them off my feet and it doesn't happen. for an hour and 20 minutes I'm up there. but I'm like literally the foot goes. into the the the dim light and I am. throwing them off so it there is. something about a performance that makes. you uh numb yeah and I think um yeah. that's why I should have surgeries. during podcast I think that's if there's. a mic in the room someone asking me. about my. [Applause]. process I feel sometimes.
it's weird weird thing for me to say. like I'm proud of you because I'm not. related to you and but I have this kind. of avuncular feeling of oh God but no. just like I'm so um you you put in the. work and uh you are principled and you. are very talented but as I've said it's. all the other stuff that I think makes. the difference I've seen so many people. with Talent not do much with it or. misuse it or mistreat it so but I'm very.
happy for you and personal level and I. take full credit for everything you you. should take full credit because I was no. he should not me what I mean. financially I should participate in your. sucess write one of those death. signatures in s.
