I think she only got her role because of the fact that she's a woman of color (it's definitely not because she's funny), and the reason why she didn't get a better timeslot was because others already had those spots cemented, and she was a KZbinr and they didn't want the competition.

One other thing to mention about Conan is that he fully paid his entire staff out of pocket when he was in between jobs. That’s admirable

[@elizacomics2329]

In his podcast Conan said that when he was starting the show he would wear himself out trying to make the couple hundred people in the live audience laugh so that when the show would start for millions of people he would already be sweating and tired. I think thats what makes Conan so special, he just wants to make whoever is in front of him laugh and we’re just lucky it gets filmed.

[@Spo8]

It's crazy to watch the documentary Conan O'Brien Can't Stop because there are so many instances where people kind of force social interaction on him, whether it's his producer booking way too many meet and greets or some dancers in the show bringing their entire extended family back stage and every single time he's instantly "on," being both very nice and very funny to everyone involved. It seems like it's such a fundamental part of who he is. He just can't help but perform.

[@skunkjo3195]

Sorry, 7 months later, but I agree. Jimmy has always been very safe. Like he's reliably funny enough, his guests seem happy, you could put it on for your old grandpa, your mum, and your kids and everyone would enjoy it. Kimmel irks me, the others I barely know. Fallon would be top three for me - Conan, Graham Norton, then Fallon. Though I will admit, post pandemic, Jimmy seems to have completely run out of speed. He seemed just so tired the last episode I watched

[@McP1mpin]

Yeah and if you want to talk about dumb, I think the 'fake laugh's people are dumb. He might exaggerate it or ham it up, but it's obvious that he's genuinely laughing.

[@KevinBerstene]

This is such an interesting video to watch two years later, post-pandemic. I only watch Seth Meyers, and during the pandemic he has doubled and tripled down on including his writers and staff as such an integral part of the show. The show never felt more intimate than when Seth was yelling at the crew about how Scollins wrote X bad joke and you can just hear the cackles of *individuals* more than just of the crowd of an audience. Adding Wally as a mainstay to the on-camera cast is such a weird and pleasant thing I don't even know how to put into words what it feels like. Not to mention the interaction with the online audience because that's the only feedback he can get. It feels like Seth Meyers has really transitioned into a newer era of late night while keeping the bones of the old format the same.

also language is such a messy, fluid thing. it's perfectly reasonable imo that to him a nap may only be "sleeping lightly while sitting down" or smth like that. like. i make a very specific distinction between the words "sleepy" and "tired" despite them being used interchangeably by most ppl. altho i will say jimmy has always struck me as a little bit head empty

I scrolled through the comments to see if someone said this. Totally agree that Jimmy's point was not stupid. The blunder was that he was interrupting Louis's bit. He should have brought up his observation after the bit was finished.

[@ihategoogle5502]

Yeah there's a big difference between a nap and a regular nights sleep.

[@BoredOfRandomness]

I kind of get what Jimmy Fallon means with his whole sleeping vs napping logic. There's two possibilities: 1. Jimmy Fallon defines "napping" as simply resting ones eyes for a while, maybe being in a meditative state without much thought, but still being awake for all intents and purposes. 2. Jimmy Fallon calls the act of sleeping for several hours in the night "Sleep", and any sleep during the day or shorter than 6-8 hours "nap." I would assume #1 to be the likelier explanation. Source: Am a little bit stupid.

[@ps1hagrid786]

That's what I thought too! Still embarrassing, though yikes...

[@AlisonChains13]

I agree, I kind of knew what he meant but he definitely could've made it clearer. Or just not said it, since it's confusing and sounds dull, and he's available for millions of people to see.

[@mossbogger8366]

yea the whole point of being the host is that you are smart enough to not ask questions that will disrupt the obvious joke that is being set up

[@jeffwells641]

#1 is not what napping is, and is therefore stupid, and #2 is a 3 year old's definition of 'Sleep' and is fucking stupid for a grown man to think. Either way, Fallon is an idiot here.

[@tictacmaybeau6707]

BoredOf Randomness didn’t Jimmy Fallon say he’s narcoleptic? I’m narcoleptic as well and I’ve always thought of napping and sleeping as two very different things, so maybe that’s how he sees it too?

[@BowlMasterAsh]

Saying this as a transgender guy who would love to be in comedy and entertainment... I think the way you can most powerfully normalize being a minority in a position not usually held by minorities... is to just *BE* it. Continuing to draw attention back to how you're different from the people typically in your position does not serve to make people feel normal about the type of person you are being just as worthy of being in all kinds of positions in society. Act like a normal person, act like you belong where you are, and people will be like, "oh shit wait, such-and-such type of people are just like everybody else," even if it's happening not so consciously. You don't get that result if you constantly drawn attention back to how you're different (and demonize the majority/privileged type of person by conflating that category of person with being bigoted or prejudiced). That doesn't normalize women, people of color, lgbt people, etc, in positions not traditionally held by them at all. That doesn't mean you can't mention it, fit it into your works at all, but at your core, you should be competent and good at what your job is. Not just a token figure for progress. That doesn't create real change to peoples' perspectives and perceptions.

[@SunflowerSpotlight]

I think you have a great point. I feel like people feel confronted sometimes, and they feel like it’s so strange, it must change the person so much that they can’t be relatable or just like other people (with a differences that are stigmatized). I think it’s why seeing people who may be labeled something along the lines of “flamboyant,” tends to upset people who either aren’t interested in changing their perspective or who feel so negatively that it’s like an assault on what they consider to be a more sound and proper culture. I also think that’s why a lot of people only change their perspective on these things when someone they’ve known for years happens to be gay, bi, trans, etc. They know that person so well, and they’re like other people. They’re often very good people. So they get confronted by something far more familiar. If they respond negatively, it seems it’s often a feeling of betrayal or shame, and even that often calms down. I’m in the South and my religious parents had to make a decision to either accept my brother or cut ties due to a vague feeling of wrongness. They’ve been model parents, with the only exception being sexuality (I’m 29 and they expect me to be a virgin until I’m married, and it not really cause any big problems, since I’m considered such a good Christian; after all, they waited, until they got married... at 19, so that must be the same, right?). They landed on what they usually do. When in doubt, show love and be kind, treat others as you want to be treated. Mom’s on board partially because of the stuff that’s come out about the science side. My dad has low T and my brother does, and with treatment for that my brother still feels as he always has. Dad is still getting his head around it. I think the thought is just still disturbing to him, since it’s really not an attractive idea to him. I’ve talked with him about the translation issue on if a Bible reference was talking about homosexuality or what could be an alternate translation referring to an adult molesting a kid. And even if the translation IS in reference to two people of the same gender and relative age, there were reasons it was a huge problem for people to be gay in that time. They were tribes trying to gain strength, power, influence, and land. They had to stick together and thrive to survive. A guy not having a wife and kids was such a huge deal in that culture, a betrayal of the lineage because it would end, a betrayal of the people because they need soldiers, seen as a betrayal of himself because who would take care of him if he became ill or old? He’d be a burden on the community, one they couldn’t easily afford. Letting that be accepted would be dangerous. Since my Dad isn’t someone who believes the Bible is the final word and totally literal, that route of talking with him has been helpful, I think. Also talking to him about the general history of non-cis people through history is helpful. There are records of people who ended up either cross dressing or finding a niche in society where they were allowed to take on the role of the other gender, especially in Asia and Rome. Sometimes it was considered holy, others it was stigmatized. But that history does a lot to dispel the vague notion that this is somehow a new thing, that just didn’t exist before, when people were good and moral and normal. (Extreme sarcasm there.) We’re slowly becoming more accepting, getting past the tribalism we’ve always dealt with. As racism becomes less powerful, other categories of bias and bigotry will be focused on as the negative and small-minded mindsets they are. To get back to the confrontation you were talking about. What bothers my father the most now that he’s had time and more information is when my brother goes off topic and says something pretty graphic about his relationships. It’s often a joke, but my family is pretty straight laced and... wholesome. We don’t drink or smoke or enjoy blue comedy. So my brother’s way of just spouting off stuff we’d rather not think about (like they’d not like to hear about me being intimate with a guy) is so confronting, in several ways; that it makes them feel more negative about his sexuality. It’s just his personality, and he’d do it if he was straight; it doesn’t say anything about the community, which is as diverse as any other. But to THEM, since he’s the gay person they know, it feels like “they” all are kind of loud and brash and “unashamed,” about it. We are no longer tribes. We don’t need every male possible to procreate. All of these “abnormal” sexualities that result in fewer kids aren’t dangerous to the continuation of our societies and some studies are showing it can be beneficial to have more people who, in theory, wouldn’t have their own kids and could either help others with theirs or help older family members. It’s part of why they think large families have a higher rate of non-cis kids. I didn’t mean to go on a tangent, but as a writer and editor it’s kind of... a risk with me. 😅 You posited a really good point I’ve not thought much about in a few years. Since I don’t have to deal with the stigma of being in the community (I’m demi, but since my parents don’t want me to have any temptations to succumb to, the effect isn’t what they’d consider problematic), I always question myself and my own bias when I think on these kinds of things. I don’t want to sort of... pass judgment from my position of ease. So thinking about negative aspects of the community that may be unintentionally be impeding progress is not something I often think about or enjoy doing. But your point was so well thought out and intelligently put that I just sat there for a while and thought on it. I didn’t want to just pass by and not say anything. I really hope that progress is steady and that you’ll be treated like what you are, just another person, someone who deserves respect. You also might ponder doing some writing. You organized your thoughts well and did a far better job of streamlining your situation and position than I. Some people write well naturally and assume it’s not special or very good because it’s not hard, but that is not the case. Just think about it. Best of luck. 🌷

And Stephen setting ground rules to calm the group down enough to get through the interview without it being a negative and ugly thing is really cool. There are people that are nauseatingly horrible people. But there’s a way to be a person, and lowering yourself when you interact with them does good for exactly no one. Instead of having a bit of a power trip of all these people who love Stephen and agree with his political views and letting it happen, he went with kindness and order. It should be common and nothing special or interesting, but it’s not. And I respect him for it.

I'm not quite sure why, but I always hear his name mentioned, like on the Fly on the Wall podcast with Dana Carvey and David Spade.

that napping question makes perfect sense though what??? it's literally a conversation about napping. he's asking if he likes taking quick naps like during the day on his couch more than going to bed at night. when you nap a lot you might not sleep as much at night.

Tell your child, who trusts you implicitly, that you ate all of their Halloween candy

[@peppermorrison]

Yes. Teach them not to trust care givers from an early age

[@shlorbleflorbnad6927]

Haha yes, I love manipulating kids into a long lasting state of paranoia and encouraging them to be untrustworthy of their own parents. Its great.

hey... go avs.

[@IAmKillEveryone]

If your parents playing a silly joke on you where they temporarily hid your halloween candy and told you that they ate it has scarred you for life and affected your ability to trust caregivers, then your parents raised a bitch.

It's Graham Norton who is the celebrities and the fan favourites. He is impeccable with his interviewing skills and his guests have so much fun on his show

[@TheLastApostle]

Well its kinda obvious hes only looking at american shows because thats all he knows. Americans have to google who that is. I can guarantee almost nobody who lives in this country has heard of him. Im not sure how familiar you are with american shows either so this video could be pretty boring for you lol

[@charlesbentley6033]

@@TheLastApostle Ive heard and watched all of the hosts he mentions, but I wouldn't be surprised if Norton isn't that well known outside the UK. Saying that, he does broadcast on BBC America, and does get millions of views on youtube

[@smurfette_blues7922]

@@TheLastApostle true. But i think it might be worth mentioning graham if we want to come up with actual solutions to improve american talk shows. Graham Norton is probably the only major talk show that has stayed consistently fresh. Also many notable american celebrities vouch for its brilliance.

[@smurfette_blues7922]

Im glad someone mentioned graham.

[@Diana-tl8pn]

@@TheLastApostle sounds a little condescending, don't you think? I live in the country where we only have BBC news and even we get Graham Norton. He isn't some obscure figure of British culture. My guess he chose the most relevant to American Culture.

"You like naps better than sleep??" 😂 oh, Jimmy.
