Imagine being a waiter and serving Mulaney and Conan and they laugh at your jokes. You're probably riding high on that for a month. But then you find out they're still thinking and talking about your jokes months later. Somwhere out there, this clip made some waiter as happy as he's ever going to be.

[@BensBrickDesigns]

It's also in LA too where no one's a waiter, everyone's just bringing you food or coffee until they hear from their agent.

12:10 i love the mental image of martin short on conan's show, marty making his jokes and conan just sitting at his desk trembling with rage, barely holding it together. all of a sudden he snaps, lunging forward. he then proceeds to tear martin short's leg off with his bare hands and beat him over the head with it.

Ernest Borgnine was married to Ethel Merman for a month. That marriage was famously one of the shortest in Hollywood history. I think that was what Mulaney was referring to. In "The Poseidon Adventure" Ernest's character was married to Stella Stevens.

Nice to come here after listening to the podcast and seeing how John leans back after Conan comes after him at 1:45 with a “oh, so we’re doing this huh?” expression. 😊

[@reen4450]

Idk why John telling Conan to take a minute was so funny to me

[@amherst88]

Mulaney is so often so on point and so over the head of everyone -- most of what I have seen him do could have 'take a minute' applied to it -- his way of doing stand-up is utterly unique.

[@mattdad8429]

😆 I like how they just call a huddle and discuss Ernest Borgnine's personal life for like 2 minutes.

[@drjwww]

Sona had it wrong. Yes, both Ernest Borgnine and Shelley Winters are in THE POSEIDON ADVENTURE, but Shelley Winters' husband was played by Jack Albertson (from CHICO AND THE MAN and CHARLIE AND THE CHOCOLATE FACTORY). Borgnine's wife was played by Stella Stevens. Oh, and Borgnine and Winters were never married. But Borgnine was (very, very briefly) married to Ethel Merman, whom I suspect you were confusing with Ms. Winters.

[@lorencappelson6475]

[@michaelweston2285]

whenever Conan and others start talking about references before Sona was born, is it possible to get either a split screen on Sona's face, or a small screen of her face in the corner of the clip so we can see the utter annoyance/frustration/confusion/etc. she goes through in real time?

[@msvonnegutpunch5384]

This same woman was lecturing us another time and my friend Keven said “I’m trying”. And she walked up and held out a pen to him, and said “Take this”, so he did, against her zero resistance, and when he did she like…tapped her brain, “…See how easy…?”

[@billadams9986]

In the Poseidon Adventure, Shelley Winters was married to Jack Albertson and Ernest Borgnine was married to Stella Steven's.

[@RJDarkHeart]

Conan's such a big fan of Marty that he's decided to emblazon his name on every post. John Mullaney, Hillary Clinton, Meryl Steep, Michelle Obama, Lorne Michaels, the ghost of Norm Macdonald, they are all "Martin Short" from now on. Interesting choice, but who are we to question Cones?

[@KissMyAssassin]

Conan should just start every podcast playing Brutus's song from Robin William's Popeye movie. I'm mean. I'm mean, I'm mean, I'm mean, if you know what I mean (girls chorus: He's mean he's mean he's mean) It's a very deep and moving song. It's so soul touching that I actually typed all that out.

They did and had a blast. Afterwards, my brother invited John to go fishing with him some time, and John was like, well, okay, this was nice, bye, and left. Lol. I was a bit disappointed when I woke up because I would've loved to have seen John show up in those big wader pants they make for fishermen, and my brother would've been like uh, you don't need to wear that; we'll be in a boat. Lol. Some dreams end too soon. X)

[@JoeO.]

For what it’s worth, according to Wikipedia, Tova Borgnine published ‘The Tova Difference: A Promise of Lasting Beauty’ with Elaine Trebek in 1984. This was after Elaine was divorced from Alex and his moustache. Nevertheless there apparently was a Trebek/Borgnine connection, just not as exciting as the one most often fantasized about. Oddly, Wikipedia does not convey how Tova felt about Ernie’s theory about self love extending his longevity or if this was behavior he only engaged in while she was away selling her beauty products on QVC.

[@lorencappelson6475]

No, Sona is wrong. Shelly Winters and Ernest Borgnine ARE both in The Poseidon Adventure, but they are not married it it. She is married to Jack Alberston (Grandpa Joe) - I remember bc they played an old NY Jewish couple, like my grandparents! With whom I was staying when I watched this move as a kid (I think on the Disney Channel? weird). This movie was so upsetting to me at the time, I was enthralled and remember it forever. Ernest Borgnine did play a cop. Sorry Sona!
