Conan Travels - "Getting to know Jordan Schlansky" - 09/01/2008

Late Night with Conan O'Brien, 2008.

[@Louieman]

At this point Jordan had only begun to prepare his body

[@byronvalle951]

In various ways

[@fatimaehsan7627]

Whey and oats

[@nljie]

Underrated

[@tristanrollet1511]

It’s like you mixed a Conan reference with an Always Sunny reference

[@benakakumars9611]

I believe its a personal matter

[@TheSUPERPOTATO2000]

Weird to hear Conan say "Jordan Schlansky" and not get an immediate round of applause

[@theow4166]

And also not seeing the good old picture of Jordan with a light brown background

[@ashwinshaji4859]

This is the first time the legend was introduced

[@rohit.das2093]

Back when jordan wasnt famous

[@Subha403]

Right ??? Exactly what I had thought!!

[@Twiloboy]

I had the exact same thought!

[@John-zm4xl]

Jordan looks absolutely 2000’s here

[@gatronix754]

hahhaha thats true !!!! rare guy

[@pausebeforeviewtube]

dated for late 2000s tho

[@rayfuego9993]

more like 90‘s dude

[@partikelsmusic]

He had a Greenday CD in his car.

[@ryanthomas49]

@@rayfuego9993 no, absolutely not. The emo hair is a late 2000s trend.

[@NarekAvetisyan]

Jordan is funny in various ways.

[@Seantendo]

He has an assortment of humorous qualities.

[@charleshoughton100]

Jordan would argue that humor is subjective

[@jdezzy25]

He’s prepared his humor in various ways

[@youthought878]

He has various ways of holding a grudge.

[@robertfan332]

Looks like jordan prepared his hair and tan lotion in various ways.

[@nulzmusic8461]

And so, the legend was born.

Baby Jordan knew shame lol

[@RoshanTariqOfficial]

Well, he had "various" food items 😂🤣

[@andyedwards9011]

I'm glad I've seen so many of his other clips already, made me appreciate it so much more

[@alexpollock6932]

They’re an Italian delicacy

[@redplague]

Shame? That was part of the sketch. He probably had no idea what Conan had put in there and was laughing at it.

[@flippy08100]

Ironically, this first encounter was the least awkward one

[@MultiSmiley007]

Because his character wasn’t fully developed at that point. The Jordan 2.0 we all know and love grew from this Jordan 1.0.

[@sucemaindex236]

Contempt

[@markob53]

@@MultiSmiley007 I prefer Jordan 1.0 tbh, not quite so stiff, but still Jordan.

[@dimmn82]

what you are saying is not logically sound.

[@siddarth3955]

That's because I guess they cut out the awkward parts and Conan made sure to make it as chill as possible, later Conan let Jordan take the reigns whenever they met occasionally cracking jokes

[@jaba512]

The origins of Jordan Schlansky

[@joeterfqdwgvqwgw]

it's oranges

You forgot to add......Portrait of a Serial Killer.

Jordan Schlansky: Origins

[@florete2310]

... in the Zeta Reticuli star system.

[@joelsines7083]

When that handshake didn’t happened , an archenemy was born.

[@Jmagee2113]

Joel Sines he had prepared himself in various ways his whole life prior to this for that handshake

[@joelsines7083]

I believe that’s a private matter 🤣

[@polishrocker93]

Imagine the agreement they must have had about future segments “So Jordan, I’m going to relentlessly mock you from now on. How do you feel about that” “I have various emotions right now”

[@krombopulosterry1005]

"Im indifferent."

[@ahmadmoon72]

Most emotions Jordan has ever portrayed

[@awonoto]

Jordan was most emotional when he was in Italy. Especially in his favorite restaurant in Cortona.

[@sho3bum]

Jordan is a deeply emotional man

[@Peter_1986]

@@yomomma5086 The real Jordan is very much like the character Jordan; Conan has confirmed this in different ways on several occasions, like for example saying that Jordan was "98% the real him" in some videos, etc. Also, Jordan does have a huge passion for Italy and coffee.

[@nitindubey5762]

"What kind of food" "Various kinds"

[@RobertMichael]

“Do you wanna tell me before I open it up?”

[@kmikhael]

So strange to hear his name and not see his picture...

[@nukachelidze4186]

When Jordan smiles, a new angel gets his wings

[@IstvanThree]

A lot of wingless angels up there... if we only count camera smiles. Evertime Conan is annoyed by Jordan, a little demon gets his horns 👹

We ALL truly shine when we laugh

[@susanab7]

12 years later and we still can't get enough of these two together 😀

[@randompit]

Make that 15 now

[@ajaykumbhar6919]

6:33 conan wasn't interested in Jordan's story until he heard danish models.

[@MrAndrewAu]

LOL

[@m.k.v.g.7203]

4:30 Conan: random bags of oranges lying around. Jordan: Those are clementines. ROFL

[@conaninflable2832]

the writers strike in 08 was the best thing that could happen (at least for a while) for the show. Conan starts to do things like these and we can get to know the staff

[@fairfight9857]

I’ve never seen Jordan smiling like that 5:25-5:28

[@bugeye8749]

So cute

[@fairfight9857]

@@bugeye8749 ikr 😂

[@lucyrattner1228]

conan’s giggly “you’re not like other people” kills me everytime

[@thegenzcompass2526]

"You bring so much joy to me, " - what a beautiful thing to say about a friend.

[@joshrabatin]

"Just because it appeals to children doesn't exclude Me from enjoying it" lmfao I love it!

[@Theeosees]

"What else could you do? Those bitches had to die," Conan is such a hilarious guy, I'm so glad that he has both an upbeat attitude but a kinda dark sense of humor and was still able to get mainstream success. Allowing your mind to go anywhere makes yourself and others laugh, Conan foeva

[@Anna_Anna92]

I'm on a Conan and Jordan binge again and I forgot he said that. It was so hilarious it "killed" me 😂

[@jamespuffer2889]

As much as people like to shit on Jordan, he’s been with Conan for decades, and not for no reason. I remember the (very) early days he’d come out to do bits, I love that he’s been allowed to grow his “character” for all these years too. Anyone who sticks with Conan (and Vice versa) for the better part of 30 years is okay in my book.

[@brundash8013]

and many years later, Conan still asks Jordan what he does on the show.

[@daujones6448]

That moment at 7:12 was so wholesome for me, Conan reaches out with his hands to Jordan and goes on dancing

[@ferntella]

The two of them dancing together is true magic.

[@ZeranZeran]

Jordan gives off a vibe of someone who knows exactly what they're doing, and simultaneously, has no idea what they're doing, or how they got there, but they just own it, and people love him for it.

[@Ill_trigger_you_lol]

My cousin is exactly like Jordan....only difference is hr has absolutely no idea what he is doing.

[@bhambabean1192]

5:14 when Jordan starts laughing as Conan opens the can

[@LRio27]

I think at 8:33 this is why Conan has truly cared for Jordan. Though their dynamic is definitely unique, he has always stressed how he enjoys the company of real people and not the falsities his industry tends to create. While it's a meme to mock Jordan's "what does he do", he wouldn't be on the team if he didn't contribute at least whatever tasks he has to do for the day-to-day operations.

[@AleksandarIvanov69]

12 years later, Jordan is the best thing that has ever happened to that show!

[@BudduredToast]

6:38 haha, even Jordan found that funny.

[@vulfpack7296]

BudduredToast imagine that joke being told now 😂

[@youtert]

It's funny because it's true.

Jordan's command of the language is really impressive.

[@bfkc111]

Which one? His "language" is quite normal, what he's doing is "thinking" in a different way, reacting in a certain kind of logic.

[@leo-vr4yr]

He prepares his vocabulary in various ways

[@Yimello]

To just think he hadn't even begun to experiment with oats and whey by this point....

[@lathspell87]

Conan truly laughing uncontrollably. So great.

[@tuna5287]

Jordan is like the video game side characters where they talk to you for a moment then just goes back to their own internal world

Jordan is a NPC haha

[@shawnphillips1612]

I love that Jordan bought into all of Conan's shenanigans! The fact that he can keep a straight face during most of their filmed interactions is beyond impressive! The best thing to come out of the writers strike.

[@AM-257]

Feels weird when he first mentioned Jordan there was no applause break

[@thomasfontaine3002]

I was literally crying laughing while Conan was laughing at the end.

[@ayishas4385]

He's gotten even better since then keeping a straight face. Funny to see him break into a grin multiple times!

[@xgbox]

Conan: It's got a cartoon bumblebee on the cover, how can you take this seriously as a food source? Jordan: Just because it appeals to children doesn't exclude me from enjoying it Jordan is a real one

Ah back when Jordan tried to hold his laugh.

[@rm3869]

[@aliavalentine864]

The song the band plays at the end is limelight by Rush. A great touch

[@polishrocker93]

Yeah Conan mentioned it “I love how they are playing limelight. Isn’t that one of your Rush songs?”

[@zelqam7305]

[@davida7229]

Thanks! I've been trying to make out the lyrics to find the song all these years lol

[@jimothyjimbo8900]

That “I’ve never hated the writers strike more” line is what gave us the Jordan we all know and love today, and stripped him of his soul. #LongLiveSoullessJordan

[@johnthehuman2740]

I would probably enjoy Jordan's company very much. He's extremely well educated and he puts an artistic touch on everything he does.

[@EmanDeMoan]

Honestly me too, which might mean that I'm also insufferable 😂

[@old.leming]

So, if there had been no strike, we would never have met Jordan... The Universe took pity 🤗
