[@jacksongondo6166]

"I would fold like a cheap thing that folds." Academy Award winning writer Aaron Sorking everybody.

[@KungfuCow5]

Aaron Sorkin is basically Josh Lyman talking about anything other than politics.

[@samfilmkid]

Got a big laugh tho...

[@jacksongondo6166]

Sam Harnish haha I know. Man is a legend 😂❤️

[@Elitist20]

Folds like a cheap...Confederate statue.

[@georgeofhamilton]

+Elitist20 lol wut?

[@user-zc3gu2jg1e]

I lost it at "I fold like a cheap thing that folds really easily." Then Conan: "Man, no one writes like you, Sorkin!" I'm dead.

[@asmrkid5909]

“I fold like a cheap thing that folds really easily” is totally something that Aaron Sorkin would write.

[@elremanenteunafeinteligente]

He is a pretty smart funny guy. He used a very good example of his "bad" argument skills to make his point. I'd fold like a cheap thing that... you know... that folds really easy

[@frankyramone]

Serious Jibber Jabber with Aaron Sorkin.

[@40laceration]

+Franky Ramone One could only wish

[@SteveShaha]

Yes please.

[@ender003]

+Franky Ramone Wow. I was just thinking about how there hasn't been one of those in a while and this was the first comment I saw.

[@dinovelocir1115]

“I once broke my nose when I was writing” -Aaron Sorkin

[@BatmanHQYT]

"I fold like a cheap thing that folds really easily" is such a Don Keefer line

[@romilrh]

"No one writes like you Sorkin!" I died

[@Turbo9987]

If i could write just a FRACTION like Aaron Sorkin, I'd be so happy

[@nateds7326]

“You can’t handle the truth! Son we live in a world with walls and those walls have to be guarded by men with guns, . Who’s gonna do it? You? You Weinberg?” “If your clients want to stand on my shoulders and call themselves tall they have the right to do so but there’s no requierement that I have to hear people lie.” “I fold like a cheap thing that folds easily” One of these is not like the others.

[@MaximusPrimusKay]

I like his writing. Hope this movie is good.

[@CaptainWangChi]

It is!

[@zrifepsych]

It's fantastic

[@CopperSucks]

"There was blood everywhere." Conan - "that's fantastic." Uh what?

[@kolsveinnskraevolding]

+MrCopperwheels He was momentarily possessed by another Conan. This one with black hair, a sword, but just as Irish.

[@CallMeConnorOrCw]

they didn't show the clip

[@georgeofhamilton]

In the whole segment with Sorkin?

[@kevinzhang3313]

I fold like...a cheap thing that folds really easily XD

[@ABDESSALEM40]

Sorkin is a genius. I have always appreciated the writers more than the dirctors. because thy create every thing in their minds (charecters andn events, dialogue,...everything) and then the directors get more paid and famous..

[@krishnanym211]

+Abdul Salam I used to think that way and be adamant about it, but now I know better. You're missing a big part of the picture. This is how you should treat it: a great director can never be great without a great screenwriter, but a great screenwriter also cannot be great without a great director.

[@ABDESSALEM40]

+Krishna Chamarti Thank you for replying. i did not mean to say that directors are unimportant or sthg like that, but the writers are the real creators of the movie or TV show.Actually there is nothing to do until the script is ready

[@TheDylanHoang]

+Abdul Salam true but it's up to the directors to execute that vision and translate words into a cohesive visual language while controlling a cast and crew of over 500 people

[@michaelwilliamson2255]

Writers are the true auteurs.

[@averageasian5462]

Works both ways, if The Social Network was directed by anyone else but David Fincher, it never would have been as successful as it was.

[@joshepleminh1998]

Academy Award-winning writer: "I fold like a cheap thing that folds really easily."

[@rachit]

Gosh, he is such a good writer. I wish to become like him when I grow up. But I'm good at arguments though haha

[@lynnturman8157]

no you're not

[@supremepancakes4388]

occupational hazard of being a writer, specifically Aaron Sorkin: bloody nose

[@mkingmk]

Where's the clip man?

[@asmrkid5909]

2:24 maybe he's talking about the scene from the The Newsroom where Will goes after the guy who accidentally forwarded Mac's email to corporate?

[@tigerlily0569]

I'm really impressed that not once did Conan mention his own TV writing experience. He kept it all about the guest. 👏 At least in this clip! :)

[@aurorashea711]

do the interview table!

[@F3ND1MUS]

I am so proud of your progress.

[@uknowwhoiam5982]

He took "There is nothing to writing. All you do is sit down at a typewriter and bleed.” to a whole 'nother level.

[@MrPicklepod]

This is my favorite clip ever

[@jpjacobsenbr]

HAHAHAHAHAHA!!! Loved the ending of this clip.

[@wingsuiter101]

BASED SORKIN

[@jayashreechakravarthy4949]

Didn’t have a background like yours, Stephen.

[@BernieMadoff-zt5tx]

I would pay just to watch this guy write.

[@cs8108]

Hmm. Have not realized the importance of him until recently. Can we just protect this person forever! Also can you do a movie on my constantly drunk roommate? He never learns. It’s comical. 🤪

[@lech4451]

I want to watch Conan interviewing Aaron Sorkin but the Sorkin Masterclass advert just pops up...

[@iglooo102videos]

Me too…hahahahaha…he does not like to argue..makes sense…less time wasted ..more production….

[@scrammedeggs2322]

He's so red?!? 😂😂😂

[@theskeletonboi]

+Kenny Schultz Why are there question marks there?

[@James7995]

Why doesn't Aaron talk like Aaron Sorkin?

[@justlooking3649]

He reminds me of Jason Bateman

[@danielhancock4992]

sure do

[@666melodeath666]

Fold like an Iphone?

[@TimYoung817]

Aaron Sorkin is freakishly tan

[@Ghost_Of_SAS]

Was the mirror ok?

[@KabletownCEO]

Dammit! How...did this happen?

[@penaf]

Is it just me that just realized I have never searched for creepy japonese pornography?? :D

[@hlysnan6418]

...and writer.

[@WeLoveEasonChan]

What's wrong with that 1 "dislike"? That guy must not speak English or something!

[@matu1181]

+WeLoveEasonChan You do realize that the world is based around your opinion? People have different taste, maybe someone just disliked the humor or his work.

[@MrPicklepod]

matu1181 It was a joke

[@WeLoveEasonChan]

+matu1181 No, as the matter of fact I do not think the world revolves around my opinion, apparently some get the joke and some don't.

[@josephschmoe2448]

Hey, Conan... you leave my Japanese pornography out of this.

[@angel2901]

He did that on purpose though

[@danielgillett8127]

Nice English "arguer"

[@ulfragnarsson]

Why is he SO orange!?!? I can't focus on anything he's saying

[@Studentofgosset]

Orange and blue are complementary colours, they probably turn up the orange shade in production

[@aldoulysses]

:D

[@mohtoadh]

Can the woo girls please stop?

[@lilipammer]

#teamcocoforhungary

[@markallen2984]

He looks like a less masculine Jim j Bullock

[@MrExcisionable]

Second comment yay

[@dawnibolical]

Sounds like a Gemini

[@brxx1610]
