Game Grumps: Dan talks about being on Conan

[@RamnaViaz]

I one hundred percent thought the upside down cards were on purpose.

[@Bells_Haven]

Me too lol

[@FirestoneX]

Not me

[@R3TROSKULL]

​@@FirestoneX sure

[@WonkyWalrus]

His performance was cool as heck.

[@irkenpony17]

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

[@MrJobelp]

I see what you did there

[@nexttolegendary]

On the inside.

[@FirestoneX]

Heck

[@regularwonderland]

I assumed that Brian noticed how shaky Danny was and was trying to cover/take some of the embarrassment with the upside down cue cards! I'm still so glad they got to go on Conan, but I wish the performance had been as killer as we know they normally are.

[@Ascendancy-]

it was killer.....

[@blunder3917]

Every single story I hear about Conan and his staff make them seem like just the coolest, nicest people.

[@mai3794]

Yeah Danny was nervous as HECK I could tell, but I felt SO PROUD of them when I saw them on Conan :') Saw them live in Auckland, and they were wayyyy more confident, and comfortable when they knew that they were playing for their fans! GAAADDDD I LOVE THEM SO MUCH. Hope that I get to see them again!

[@LordPichuPal]

I did see them live as well, and based on the way Dan's talked about it, I think the big difference is with a live show, not only do you know your audience and how they'll probably react, but it's YOUR show. You have control over how things are arranged and how things sound and look, and it's more intimate with your audience because they came specifically for you. Playing on TV like Conan's show, where it's in front of a live audience that isn't specifically there for you, there's also the cameras and production crew all watching, so there's more pressure to get it right. You only get this one song to play for them and impress not only the crowd in the studio, but everyone watching on TV at home, too. A lot of those nerves he was feeling were because of knowing that it's on national television, and more people would be watching than just who you see in front of you. I still think they did fine, and it's cool hearing them talk about their experience, too. It is a huge honour to get invited to perform on any shows like that, and get recognized by a fellow comedian like Conan.

[@xpirate16]

I've never been so proud of someone that I don't know lol My wife was like "why do you care that this band is on Conan?" and I'm just like "Cause it's Danny boy!"

[@B1998-u6i]

"Its Danny, don't you know?"

[@kyrasoze516]

He's cool as fuck on the inside (and outside).

[@jamiesbooksandstuff]

Yeah Dan sounded so nervous...I think it’s because playing something like Conan and being a band as “racy,” I guess, as NSP, you don’t know how the crowd is going to react. Because the people going there didn’t sign up for an NSP show, whereas the people who go to their concerts know their schtick and all the songs and whatnot, so you kinda don’t know if people are gonna be like “omg who’s this idiot making a fool of himself?” They don’t have to teach the crowd the chant at an NSP show and I think there was kind of a disconnection there. Like these aren’t necessarily fans, just people that wanted to see Conan. But they fucking killed it anyway, they’re so professional. The beginning was a little shaky but they pulled through! I’ve seen a couple comments on the video saying that they’re here from Conan and they subscribed because of it so YAY NEW FANS!! And the thing with Brian, that’s exactly what I thought. I figured everyone would think it was a bit. Because Ross is right, that’s the beauty of comedy. Mistakes can be played off as part of the show.

[@rorschach1377]

I believe the people knew nsp because they started singing the crowd part even though Brian had the cue cards upside down

[@GstroyHD]

@@rorschach1377 It was rehearsed, the crowd had heard it a few times by then. Also, the crowd was probably coached a bit before.

[@rorschach1377]

@@GstroyHD makes sense I guess :)

[@jimmybob5541]

I'm pretty sure people can actually pay to be in the audience

[@Neyonius]

Tbh Andy Richter is the man. There's a reason he and Conan have been working together so long. Andy is the guy to tell Conan to stop stressing that little thing that wasn't intentional because it's not perfect to the intention, but that's what helps the funny.

[@newflesh666]

Hell Yea! Andy Richter is super cool.

[@skippythealien9627]

Andy is the shit

[@TotallyAGoblin]

Aww I could hear the shake in Danny's voice when he sang but was so happy for them when I saw it, it was great.

[@briguy9548]

This puts a whole new perspective on that performance! Came in here thinking the guys on Conan had been kinda brushing them off and making them nervous (which they definitely we're) but sticking to their mistakes even after the Conan team offered reshoots is admirable. Always respected NSP and TWRP and there's infinitely more respect now after hearing how everything went down behind the scenes!

[@antonlowe5370]

The cards upside down was legendary.

[@MattCraftDotDerp]

THEY CONTINUED KING'S QUEST??? Gosh, I must have missed it since they didn't properly title streams back in the day. Man, I guess I have something to watch now. That was one of my favorite Steam Train series.

[@zeechops401]

Yeah, on one of the charity streams!

[@Robman92]

I have been at Conan a few times, both in audience and next to it, and I love it! Conan, Andy, the crew etc are really great people! 👏

[@irkenpony17]

I think a lot of people noticed Dan’s shaky voice. :0

[@justagamer363]

He was a bit nervous but I still think he killed it. And I love the song.

I could tell y'all were nervous, but it was a great performance. And the upside down cards were really funny.

[@Fuzunga]

And now they'll never get another chance because Conan doesn't have musical guests any more. At least they got in right at the end there!

[@DooblesGoDoobles]

You're personally completely sure no other shows will ever have them on? I dunno, seems unlikely

[@Livingroomset799Dep]

Dan's nervousness must've been shared by all his fans.

[@Eggolas]

This is why I dislike the long streams. You miss out on good stories like this. But thank god for clip channels like this.

[@quoodle9883]

Aw, jeez - listening to the Conan show was painful. I've loved NSP for 10+ years - it was _so_ sad to hear how nervous he was. I wish they had recorded it again. *:'(*

[@ThorsShadow]

You must have never performed anything in front of a crowd, no offense. If you did, you'd now what that is like. Now consider, that this show is watched by a bazillion people every time. You would be nervous as heck, too. Also, Danny's voice showed nervousness in the first one or two verses and then easily got more and more confident every second. You know, what's truly "painful"? Telling a live performer/artist to redo something just because of their nervousness. That makes me sad. But go on, keep demanding perfection from human beings, while you probably wouldn't have gotten out a single note in that instance because of nervousness. I'd rather see these artists how they are: human beings with emotions and imperfections.

[@wst34]

@@ThorsShadow Man, this takes me back when i used to be in concert band. Every show, even if they were for 50 people, I was so nervous. I could not imagine what it would be like playing in front of the whole country like he did.

[@FieryRed_BE]

It's so weird to watch the video on Conan's and seeing Danny playing Video Games afterwards.

[@darknight10000]

I figured the upside down cards were a mistake. It was NSP and TWRP's big break on TV. It didn't make sense to put the cue cards upside down for a bit that only fans would get when they're trying to build a new audience by appearing on Conan.

[@jessicajayes8326]

I saw that Conan appearance, cringing the whole time. Glad I got to see Danny and everybody else live. I went to one of their concerts last year for my birthday. I even saw Danny's grandma and parents.

[@sheeshore]

Shit man the crew at Conan seem really fuckin cool

[@Weredah]

I know Danny don't you know was their hit at the time, but I feel like the songs lyrics held them back from being themselves, and since TWRP was there, why not play a song where its not as racy but with just as much unf, yes I'm talking about the song "The Hit".

[@frosty_0951]

It's probably due to them being billed as Ninja Sex Party, and "The Hit" is a TWRP song. It would have been good, but I can see why they chose Danny Don't You Know.

[@SynchronizorVideos]

The Hit seems like it would be tough to do live.

[@GwakoTacko]

I thought that the upside down queue cards were a bit

[@zeechops401]

I wonder how Dan's parents must've reacted to this!

Still feel as though they should've done heart boner instead of danny dont you know. You need a music video to fully appreciate DDYK, but heart boner pure lyric comedy.
