Seeing Jordan behaving like a normal human being (a smug one, admittedly), makes me appreciate how he intuitively adapts his behavior to respond to Conan’s comedy.

[@alexhidell663]

I don't think he's smug. He's just well informed on the topics that are near to his heart and he respects those interests. He also makes sure other people share that respect.

It's really interesting to see Jordan in more of his real persona. He seems like just a regular guy here.

[@Stardust_Lily]

Whatever this means I genuinely appreciate Jordan and when I was in a really dark place I would watch his clips with Conan. Fast forward four years and I’m wandering around some random Italian village and falling in love. Thanks, man.

[@unheardseries]

This interview helps me appreciate how smart and well prepared Jordan is at his job.

[@partypooper6837]

He has to be prepared for various tasks.

[@ADDekoning100]

To be fair, we still don’t know what Jordan actually does.

[@unheardseries]

@@ADDekoning100 lol actually… in Conan tbs show the Jordan final appearance, an audience says that Jordan actually told the audience what he does for the show: “… he arranges the locations of shooting for outdoors sketches, organizes the financial side for props and such, pays attention to the legality sides of things when a joke references brands and handles some responsibilities of the pr department”

[@culwin]

...his job... which is... what?

[@dspiffy]

This interview (the full two parter) confirmed my respect for Jordan muchly. He's such a good sport and he genuinely wants the funniest content even if it could be perceived as being at his expense.

[@AleksoBre]

What interview?

[@dspiffy]

@@AleksoBre The one on the podcast. There's a link in the description.

[@CoolPandaTheMovieNerd]

Jordan is different when Conan is not in the room

[@backdoorwolf666]

Almost like he plays a character

[@futureshocked]

It's a battle. It's an ENTP vs an INTP.

[@xlynx9]

Sometimes he exaggerated his personality for the camera but it's all still "him"

[@kierasher1]

Not really. I think it's just the dynamic between boss and employee, so he gets a bit insecure because needs to show off that he's intelligent, so talks faster with more verbosity and defensive because he feels attacked by mostly everything conan says. It's a pretty normal thing I see with Jordan types.

[@sayakchoudhury9711]

​@@backdoorwolf666 Conan grinds his gears like no other.

[@laurelhardymarx]

Give this man a Netflix series already.

[@DOSkywalkR]

Just him? He's great, but I think he works best with Conan. Though here he shows he plays it up with him, so he has true comedic talent. Though I'd still rather watch a show with both Conan and Jordan 😁 that said: the scarcity of these segments made them special, let's not turn them into Star Wars or any other ridden to death franchises.

[@Niberspace]

Yes! a travel show of the duo

[@DeadStoph]

@@DOSkywalkRr u his sister ?wtf is this reply

[@axcelblaze1265]

The genius of Jordan bits are that he's almost never following a script. He gives genuine reactions most of the times.

[@pingislife2653]

I appreciate Jordan relenting his true self and acting as a common person just to interact better with his coworkers. So considerate.

[@randomguy6295]

I love that we still don't know what he is actually doing as an associate producer. He has several meetings, talks with various writers, is sometimes called into Conan's office and had some kind of project that he was not working on when he got an invitation.

[@dianeee1992x]

Haha exactly

[@Tonyhouse1168]

If he’s doing his job correctly, there’ll be no evidence he was doing his job. I’m still not convinced it’s more than a brilliant hustle

[@kimchichipo]

What are you talking about? He's been very forthcoming and straightforward on what he does. He fulfills various duties. Doesn't get any clearer than that.

[@guardianofsummerset451]

Well, lets be real for a second, he is a producer, he does what any producer does. He oversees the logistics of the whole show, it is a big show with a lot of people, places contracts, employees and so on. The meetings are about arranging, managing and supervising every single stage and aspect, including talent, creative team, deadlines, executives, and finances.

[@PigDan]

FYI, we do know. You just have to look at the right places, including internet comment sections. In one, someone said they were actually at the show and Jordan explained what he does I think off-screen, it was the last TBS show appearance video.

[@SatchitBhogle]

The idea that Jordan was afraid that he could be ambushed by Conan at any time like Clouseau and Cato is hilarious.

[@youssef16844]

Jordan slouching in his chair is known as a "brutta figura".

[@paulv7744]

I understood this reference.

[@paulv7744]

It is definitely "in-elegant"

[@aaronsimmons8428]

Jordan talks about being ambushed like a Vietnam war vet: "After the first few ambushes you're always ready for one."

[@jspres86]

Let's all just remember that, if it weren't for the writer's strike back then, we might've never gotten Jordan at all. Total blessing in disguise.

[@ViciousTuna2012]

Which begs the question, if some of Conan's best stuff came out of having no writers in the room, then does anyone really need some self-important "union" of writers? Being funny isn't that rare, especially not as rare as some "professional" funny people make it out to be. The majority of these writers striking right now suck at their job anyway.

[@jspres86]

@@ViciousTuna2012 Well I’ve not ever been one of those people so I can’t really judge them. I’m sure it’s harder than us random people out there think it is being funny to a national audience while also satisfying the host, network executives, producers, advertisers, “decent content” groups, and so on. They got a lot of cooks looking over their shoulder to make sure a joke is “acceptable.” I’m sure it’s frustrating but I’ve never been one so I can’t pass judgement. Besides I think Conan proved himself to be a different breed of comedian.

[@Stardust_Lily]

@@ViciousTuna2012 Well, you gotta keep in mind that Conan was an exception. He comes from an improv background and can just be funny himself spontaneously. Most talk shows and guild-written comedy become garbage during strikes lol. Also, as a viewer of the show during that time, there were some amazing gems (like Jordan), but I think we forget all the garbage skits and monologues that came with it lol. There's a reason we're not praising full episodes from back then, but just like two or three great things that came out of it. It's super easy to be outside of the medium and say "oh writers are just useless writing and being funny is actually easy". I guarantee most of your favorite content was written by Guild writers, and a lot of the stuff you love that you think was the result of one funny individual was actually a lot of writers collaborating. tl;dr: If you have no experience in an industry, it's best not to assume lol.

[@ViciousTuna2012]

@@Stardust_Lily Conan doesn't come from an improv background. What are you talking about?

[@Stardust_Lily]

@@ViciousTuna2012 He met his good friend Lisa Kudrow from them both doing improv, he was part of Groundlings, and intentionally mostly hired Chicago improv people for his show at first. He did improv for years before SNL and literally had an improv group with Bob Odenkirk and Rob Smigel. Like even if I weren't a lifelong fan I'd know he had an improv background just from clips, even without having heard him talk about it before.

[@lackingmyface]

He knew right away how to present himself in front of the cameras from the very first Conan's ambush just shows what a genius he is. That's a true master of acting. Bravo!

[@felipeiglesias]

In fact, the way Jordan pronounces “Macchio” is correct. In Italian, the “cch” is pronounced “k”. I live in Italy by the way.

[@dlxmarks]

@@felipeiglesias The only "correct" pronunciation of a person's name is the way that person pronounces it. If Ralph himself pronounces that way then that's what's right for his case.

[@anthonygordon9483]

If I could only have a beer every time Jordan says "Various". But all do respect, I love Jordan, he is a very well put together man. If Spock could exist, it would be Jordan. Jordan is very unique cause he is a man that is very literal yet he can get a joke. I can kind of relate because of alot of people say I am funny when I am not trying to be funny and I kind of bite off of it by being myself. Jordan is a inspiration of just being yourself and you will be surprised how much funnier you can be. Love the video! Love that Jordan came on.
