Susie Essman On Breaking Into Comedy As A Women In The ‘80s | Conan O'Brien Needs A Friend

[@MM-ud1xf]

I loved the way she brought some of the crew into the discussion. Not only Sona and David, but Aaron and Adam too.

[@tjsmith3741]

I have no idea why I remember this. Probably because it was such a great line… Susie was doing a roast of Alan King. Her line to him was “ did you ever think you’d live to see the day when your prostate was as big as your ego?” Wow😊

[@kiowa1508]

My favorite line from Totie Fields…”when you send your last child off to college…the first day after…you sit at home crying. The second day…you’re eating breakfast naked…”

[@jolynnhill8502]

I am the same age as you are Susie and everyone screamed and got angry in my house. The women had to yell to be heard. I love you Susie!!

[@ambsd8419]

Susie Essman is amazing! She's so funny, smart and cool. She made that show so good!

[@Novalisk628]

The lady pioneers don't get enough respect. Cass Daley, Lucile Ball, Gilda Radner and later Susie Essman paved the way.

[@anthonymartinez2659]

As my man Norm Macdonald would agree women just are not funny female comedians are more Goofy, silly even 😁✌️

[@MJDHX]

Phyllis Diller

[@thomasdeas1941]

I concur💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯

[@TheDigitalDecade]

How do they not get ‘enough’ respect? How are they disrespected? In what regard is their respect diminished?

[@brotherofjunk]

@@anthonymartinez2659 Norm is dead.

[@TraitofSiNN727]

the Friars Club was a hip joint back in the 1980s in NYC and the late Joe Spinell was a regular and I bet Susie met him. if you don't know what I'm talking about but he appeared in The Godfather 1-2 and was in Rocky as the Loan Shark and made his slasher film called Maniac.

[@now4itfriends]

This is such an important conversation 💗 thank you Susie for being such a trailblazer!! There's still too much of the limiting restrictions on women you describe for women across the world. Thank you for helping push the needle toward more freedom for all!

[@ridefreeordie831]

I can relate to the fact that my parents never cared about my interests or accomplishments. No wonder I related to her character the most on Curb!! lol.

[@Gringa_L]

OMG I loooooove this woman!! There is no Curb without her, her Susie was an essential character! 😽

[@ds9908]

Her 80s standup was hilarious. “What are you DOING?!”

[@shimi_raikkonen]

Watching Susie’s stand-up, and I can’t stop laughing. “It’s like a nun having sex toys.” 🤣🤣🤣 (re: Susie, who doesn’t cook, having all the pots/pans and chef tools)

[@lisas5211]

I just want to say that the Argentina Conan ep is HILARIOUSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@emilyjpeters]

No questions on her Broad City character.😢 I know she's promoting curb but her role on Broad City was SO FKN BRILLIANT.

[@masslmm59]

❤ Susie.. I've seen clips of her on youtube.. When she first started... funny and gorgeous

[@bangolio7]

Love Susie! Sona's "I'm also an intellectual" was just perfect (delivery, timing and everything)

[@Skinzlivez]

I love how sharp Sona's improv has gotten. You can tell how much she's picked up from Conan over the years.

[@bangolio7]

@@Skinzlivez My thoughts exactly!

[@James-vv7vh]

How many women is she exactly?

[@seowth]

Are you blind? A women! A!

[@andyman3309]

Cmon people fix the title!

[@andyman3309]

Cmon people fix it!

[@angelthman1659]

I was a comedian in NY in the 80s. I knew Susie. She was always kind and cool.

[@frankeckhardtii9072]

The 26 year old WB star again. 😂

[@FranklinBluthAus]

I love Larry David, but some of the most memorable scenes from Curb are because of Essman. 'Get me the head!'

[@Gringa_L]

God bless Larry David for having a Susie who ripped him a new one at least once an episode. I would prepare to laugh every time she entered a scene.

[@lachauntiswashington231]

This is great 😂👏👏👏

[@Archimedeeez]

4:26 😂

[@toyota420xp]

What Conan O'Brien says make sense I think he's actually funnier than his show if he just was f****** around it's much better than having him sit there and interview someone

[@paradoxparade1]

"As a women". Jesus Christ, Conan, get some decent editors.

[@eleecea]

I wish they would release the full interviews rather than clips

[@bangolio7]

Why not both?

[@williamhurley5496]

Susie is and has long been da' bomb!!

[@mariamarrero7335]

❤❤❤

[@RosieRoseDesigner]

Love you Susie!!

[@Gringa_L]

8:30 Because self-awareness is the most endearing quality in a human being, that's why it's funny.

[@Gnarfledarf]

"A Women"

[@seowth]

9:14 F'ers . F faces 😅 did NOT expect that from Coco 🤣

[@georgesears9327]

BROADS 💃💃💃💃💃💃

[@sarahwylie5308]

Typo in the title: it should be Woman not Women as it’s singular

[@pjamdragon1]

I don’t think her grandfather heard‘em coming

[@Ou8y2k2]

Conan, please get JB Smoove and then Jeff Garlin.

[@craigjgomez]

How can there be a car full of drunk drivers? Only one person can be driving so, hit by a drunk driver is what you meant to say.

[@therorathedi1917]

What's with the poor grammar title. I thought Conan went to Harvard.

[@Earl_E_Burd]

I guess Mr. Beast, skibidi toilet, Kendall Jenner, and Taylor Swift don't teach grammar to the youth

[@hyperspeed_心猿]

So Conan DOES have anal fans!

[@therorathedi1917]

Guys, I like Conan. And I'm and joking. But they should pay attention to detail though. I am a fan and I want all his stuff to be done well.

[@stangiles2001]

That's not how you say lon Chaney

[@LingLing1337]

What an inspordational wammen

[@seowth]

What A! not an!

[@MikeIdy6000]

Did she break into comedy as more than one woman?

[@SimonHaestoe]

Joy Behar WTF

[@ruchi_teomura1]

Perhaps she wasn't very much attached to her father

[@pizza_guyny]

I love Conan but is he starting to turn into trump he looks so red today and he's hair looks more blonde?

[@HazeOfWhearyWater]

You gonna be all right, big guy?

[@effurfeelings]

As a women in the 80s? Is gen z in the helm?

[@on2wheels378]

Her father is and will always be correct. We aren't equal.

[@trini4204]

And women still aren’t funny
