Stuttering John on Conan O'Brien performing "Gypsy Morning" on August 12, 1994. Includes an interview at the end.

[@GrumpyPete78]

I never would have guessed that enigmatic frontman and guitar god would go on to become the head writer for the Kareem Abdul Jabbar roast.

[@jerryjeromehawkins1712]

John was the head writer for the Kareem Abdul-Jabbar Roast??! Funny... he never mentions it... 🤔

[@johnfraleee]

Man if wasn’t for you I would’ve forgot he did that, until the next video about John I watch.

Agree... his standup is absolutely horrendous and his "music" is just horrendous.

He’s got a couple versions of the jokes he still uses in the interview. Coors is a helluva drug.

Oh shit i just remembered I have an original of this cd I wonder if it's got collector value I've got Jackie's CD, too

[@bcancun123]

Remember him coming out Roxys studios in Queens lol

[@copheart]

How disappointed was the studio audience that day? With all the amazing bands in their prime in 1994 they go to Conan and get Stuttering John. Could've been Soundgarden, Pearl Jam, Sonic Youth, Dinosaur Jr, Green Day, Stone Temple Pilots, Beck, Mudhoney, or any of the other 100's of amazing bands playing at that time but they get this idiot. At least he wore his flannel with the sleeves cutoff, and faked his stutter for the crowed.

LOL

It sucked for A-list anything but as much as John has always been a complete clown, no more than these days, it wasn't that bad lol.

He’s a good interviewer but he’s not a good person. I was a fan from ‘88-‘06 and then he bored me to tears. Also, I meant “elitist limousine liberals,” but you get the idea. He’s a phony liberal.
