“Peter Pan” Inspired Andy Daly To Become An Improv Performer | Conan O'Brien Needs A Friend

take us back to Andy Daly as a child I. don't see you um tossing the old. football around what do you. mean by by. football uh were you you seem to me like. you're a a SP maybe someone who had the. sponge period where you're just. absorbing oh yeah is it TV are you a TV. Fanatic yes the TV was always on in my. house I can remember my father making.

the argument to my mother he and he had. the numbers for how much electricity the. TV uses as opposed to the dining room. lights like like we're we're not using. any electricity by having the TV on all. the time like that was his argument he. just likeed to have the TV on all the. time I thought you were going to say. you've been watching too much TV so his. argument was that you shouldn't be. watching TV but this was Pro TV he had. thought it through like why it made. sense to always have the TV on oh what a. time to be alive I never got that no no. I didn't either my father prohibited TV.

during if there was school the next day. no TV could be watched during the day so. we of course were like well that shit's. not happening so my brothers and I would. watch TV and then we would hear my dad's. station wagon which was a 1970 Pontiac. um yellow pull up and because of some. defect in the car it made a weird. whistling sound and we'd hear. the and we'd be like no and we'd turn. off the TV and everyone would grab a. book and usually it was upside down.

and my dad would come into the house and. the first thing he'd do is he'd rush to. the TV and put his hand on the screen. and if he if it was slightly warm or if. he got a little static shock he was. like and we would all go scampering. around with our upside down books so you. don't grab a book grab the ice tray and. just apply ice all around the TV cool it. off it's got to be a way to cool it off.

so anyway I love that your dad was Pro. TV super pro TV yeah I used to watch we. used to watch Aban and Costello movies. every Sunday and I would watch Sesame. Street that which is hilarious Burt and. Ernie are hilarious and Grover and yes I. think I did watch things as a student of. Comedy the way that I see my my. 12-year-old watch US thinks as a student. of Comedy too just kind of like figuring. out why is that funny and what if I do. that to my. brother oh you can and also there's so. much uh great comedy timing you can. learn from like you say Sesame Streets.

Muppets the timing is really good I for. me it was Warner Brothers cartoons watch. um and just the figuring out the timing. and different voices and uh it is crazy. that in the 70s when you would watch an. hour of of Looney Tunes cartoons so many. of them were about war. bonds they were all made in the' 40s and. inside jokes were you know a guy who I. don't know looks like Eddie caner would. come in and you'd be like who's what's. an Eddie can.

yeah the chicken that looked like Bing. Crosby like you know that you needed an. adult in your body go uh let me explain. yeah and they were often really. culturally. appropriate yes very much so but I too. was I was watching a lot of those and. they were made in the' 40s and then I go. to my parents and go so we got to stop. Hitler. huh son we took care of that oh all. right so did he apologize no no he shot. himself oh why are we talking about this.

I'm. seven but now it's so funny you can you. clearly you absorbed all this stuff and. uh just where were you growing up by the. way New Jersey okay let's not brag no no. no I mean listen it's one of the most. populous states in the nation as a. matter of fact. Conan really that's all I can say to BR. about New Jersey but it's so small how. could it be but but by by volume oh you.

know what I mean what for how big it is. there's a lot of people in there it's. got more people per square mile than any. other state crowded it's a crowded State. it's a densely populated state people. have to step outside to change your mind. you know what I'm saying I mean I I. don't know I I guess I'm a witty guy and. 90% of it is Pine Barons which nobody. lives in yeah so how's that possible. because there's bodies in there that's. what it is it's the bodies in the Pine. Bar the um that's something you don't. mention a lot in the New Jersey tourist.

bureau what's that all the bodies and. the Pine Bar. yeah yeah that's true doesn't come up. come to the Pine Barons you won't not. find a body wait what you described I. think once that uh as a kid you saw a. production of Peter Pan that kind of. changed your life because there was a. moment in this in in the production of. Peter Pan that uh sort of grabbed you. tell me about this was the Peter Pan.

with Sandy Duncan in the 70s it was uh. on Broadway and she would fly out over. the audience and Captain Hook was played. by James hwit who uh was Mr badier you. might remember Christopher huitt. Christopher yeah there thank you well. how does he know everything well trust. me all he does is go home with he has. flash. cards and it's true yeah it's like w krp. Gordon jump can I just say that when. that came up right now I every alarm in. my head went off and said don't do this.

don't do this it doesn't matter it's. close enough I. know but he had his SE Captain Hook and. SME had a scene in front of the curtain. there must have been a scene change. going on and they're talking and he just. says I'm going to get that pizza pan and. a boy in the audience said no you're not. and he said oh yes I will and the place. just went nuts and that's like the it. was improv yes exactly but it's it's. just one thing it's like such a minor. example of improv but it just was so.

electrifying so exciting he went off. script and he responded to a child so. yeah I that's the only thing about the. show I really remember you're editing. the rest of it where he goes like Oh yes. I will and the kid goes. you me. you you can't say me I'm a little. boy with one leg one leg e well you'll. have no legs soon you little. piece of.

uh tonight back me hold me back. tonight's production of Peter. Pan you with a steel. hook tonight's production of Peter Pan. will be cut short your tickets will be. refunded in the audience oh no they. won't this is. gold soon I'll be Mr. beler and you can all suck my dick Jesus.

Christ I'm replacing hervey villages on. Fantasy Island you. dickwads the little kid's like I just. want to go. home this is awful.
