Steven Wright’s Theory About The Boston Red Sox - "Late Night With Conan O'Brien"

[@e4t662]

Ironically, the Red Sox won the World series that year, thanks Steven.

[@Smingleflorp]

That’s how powerful he is...

[@assmane999]

Yup. About 4 months later, they would pull off the greatest comeback in MLB playoff history against the Yankees in the ALCS and then go on to win easily in the World Series. They finally steered clear of the iceberg once they figured out they were re-enacting the titanic sinking. Wright figure it out for them !

[@Nuttyirishman85]

I was a junior in highschool. We drove in to Kenmore square when we beat the Yankees and all hell broke loose!

[@fbrooks3726]

@@assmane999 Yeah, it totally almost looked like the Titanic in the ALCS. And then some strange shiz really happened. That was wicked awesome for Steven and I.

[@andyhalstead3949]

How can it be the world series when only American teams play ?

[@nnjjee1]

Steven Wright is an absolute original. No one will ever be close. Check out his classic stand up.

[@Edninety]

thank you Jeselnik for mentioning this guy as an inspiration years ago and got me on a binge back then, was before my time, would've loved to see him live (same goes for Mitch Hedberg actually)

[@Missilechicken]

Amen.

[@bostonpops33]

My apartment building let's us have pets. I have a pony.

[@davidsnyder2000]

I’m over a half century old and I’ve watched Steven since back in the day when he was young. He’s always been hilarious throughout his career. I’d have to say he’s my favorite comedian of all time😄👍

[@MickSli6Viewer7Metal]

I would have loved a podcast with that voice

[@joguadace]

Seriously, probably a good substitute for anxiety meds.

[@Edninety]

I noticed way too late that he was the radio voice in Reservoir Dogs haha

[@markonino12]

No

[@grokeffer6226]

Steven Wright still does stand up, only now he likes to sit while he does it, to save energy.

[@asmodei]

[@photonvox]

Steven Wright: one of the world’s most brilliant and funny comedians and master of the surreal, the absurd, and deadpan delivery. “I like to drink a lot of coffee before bed because then I can dream faster”. “Strange To Meet You” on Conan, Steven.

[@rockman4699]

Like him but blows me away he has recycled his 80s material 100 percent

[@perhaps5095]

@@rockman4699 most comedians recycle their material tbh

[@RobotReg]

4 months after this interview the Boston Red Sox won their first World Series title since 1918, breaking the curse of the Bambino.

[@papierspeelt]

Conan: I have a clip here, anything we need to know? Steven Wright: During this the tape is going through the machine

[@Spandau-Filet]

Thanks man. Now I don’t need to watch the clip

[@pbrsteve5974]

I just watched a clip from 17 years ago that had a clip in it filmed 18 years before it. Time is indeed a weird thing.

[@rockets4kids]

Just think about what happens when KZbin suddenly starts recommending this video twenty years from now...

[@sh0g0kawada]

I found it at the perfect time: an 18-year-old clip inside an 18-year-old clip!

[@atfourothirtythree]

That Red Sox Titanic analogy - brilliant! Steven Wright, very funny man.

[@adamgordon3990]

It was part of The Curse of the Bambino book.

[@Axolotl_Mischief]

In the future some billionaires will take a time machine back to 2004 to witness it live, yet the technology will be imperfect and will explode instead of time traveling to the past.

[@os5573]

3:23 Respect for Conan casually rolling off the exact date of the sinking of the Titanic.

[@MTClub-tk6sv]

The Part that Conan did a micro Impression of him is gold. ("I Wonder Why") - Minute 1:05

[@nnjjee1]

"The other day I bought some used paint. It came in the shape of a house."

[@ireneofunes89]

It's a small world. But I wouldn't want to paint it.

[@seanfrank32]

"During this clip the tape is going through the machine." 😂😂😂😂😂

[@marp4735]

I’ve never heard him say so many words in a row, and at that speed. Woooahhh

[@setaside2]

And he LAUGHED. The hell was that?!? Is it allowed?

[@billoz]

Somehow Conan is the most genuine. just my 2 bit

[@adampopeens2728]

The best part is that this was the first year that they *didn't* choke

[@fenwayify]

They didn't choke in '67. Gibson crushed 'em with 3 complete game wins and an arm weary Lonborg won 2, but ran out of gas in the deciding game 7. It took a long time for the Sox to recognize the need for more than 1 good starter, or pitching in general, to win championships. They were reminded of that truth in '21, but they sure had it in '04, when they also learned to fight back and had unbelievable heart...In '67, St. Louis also had Lou Brock, who killed 'em on the bases...there was no choking...

[@chichiboo17]

He was best in his role as 'Guy On The Couch' in Half Baked.

[@AttilatheThrilla]

Yo guy did you kill, Killer?

[@RobotReg]

"I don't know why... but I believe him yo"

[@epictnt]

"When I got back to Boston they asked me what time it was,.... so I punched him in the head" you gotta be from here to truly get that joke.

[@Mandrake591]

Two of the funniest people on the planet get together!

[@davidholman48]

The friendly sparring is delightful. 😄

[@steveakin1103]

Steven could be talking about nearly every MKE Brewers season as he described his Red Sox - Titanic theory.

[@ConSepTg]

'Coffee and Cigarettes' is an awesome movie. Bill Murray chats with the WuTangClan (well, RZA & GZA)

[@ConSepTg]

@Teams Coco . this is very weird. Did you just brainwash me?

[@zoperxplex]

This man is a walking ASMR video.

[@NEPats79]

Not gonna lie...when I clicked through on this video, I thought Conan was interviewing another Steven Wright, the former Red Sox knuckleball pitcher that shares his name with the comedian!

[@bothellkenmore]

Does he still do stand up?

"I had a switch in my dining room, it didn't do anything, every day I'd walk by it and switch it. A couple years later I got a letter from a woman in Germany. She said cut it out." - Steven Wright (paraphrasing)
