Jordan Schlansky Hasn’t Forgiven Conan For Ruining “The Phantom Menace” | Conan O'Brien Radio

You can tell from Conan's reaction that this story is 100% fact and he cannot dispute any of it.

besides the fact that the title literally mentions stars wars phantom menace. You already know he was going be talking about 1999 because jordan is a star wars fanatic and he is going to see the movies on theatre release.
