Taylor Tomlinson: I'm 30, I feel like it's Over || Taylor Tomlinson 2024

[@TheDrewjameson]

Taylor Tomlinson, 30, insanely talented, skyrocketing career, beloved by all: I'm 30; I feel like it's over. Me, 44, eating kimchee out of the jar and a pocketful of Mike and Ikes with let's face it, a generous amount of lint on them: Yeah, you should probably pack it in and give up.

[@TwisterTornado]

Kimchi and licorice... Heavy smoker? You can't taste your food. You need strong and different sensations. Quit before you end up like my grandma, over-salting everything.

[@samdelongforgeeks]

Me, 48, recent college graduate still looking for a job while being stuck at the low paying one ive been at the past 11 years.

[@TheDrewjameson]

@@TwisterTornado it was a joke

[@TheDrewjameson]

@@samdelongforgeeks that sounds like a tough situation. Hopefully you’ll find a better job soon! Good for you for graduating while working! That’s not easy

[@TwisterTornado]

@@TheDrewjameson It doesn't matter if it was a joke. You listed things you actually do eat. And you enjoy strong and unusual flavors.

"I wanted to start on this nice note and then we'll devolve into petty grievances." In a nutshell, why I love Conan.

[@alexgolovchenko3791]

She seems very sad inside. I can relate. I think I love her.😢

[@renosance8941]

"😢... I think I love her..." I feel you on that! 😅😂

[@kornklown420]

Taylor is so funny, she is probably my favorite comedian honestly.

[@heavymod9476]

I’m glad for her success, but she’s gonna have some rough patches ahead I think. She needs top writers, and she needs to work on her material a bit.

[@kornklown420]

@heavymod9476 not sure what you mean, she's a stand-up comedian, so she writes her own jokes. And I think she is phenomenal at writing her jokes.

[@Aelffwynn]

​@@heavymod9476 said some random online who could never do what she does 💀

[@heavymod9476]

@@kornklown420 she does a late night show, which she has writers for. Making the transition to late night is very hard to do, and most comedians fail. It’s not a dig at Taylor.. she’s great, and I’m happy for her success. But the show hasn’t hit its stride, the writing could be a bit better, and Taylor has been digging deep putting together 2 specials since Quarter life crisis. It’s hard to generate that kind of quality content indefinitely. I think she has a rough patch in front of her, and hope she can take it in stride. Which I’m sure she will.

[@heavymod9476]

@ yep

[@mikejettusa]

The compliments he gave came across as so completely genuine. And I think, coming from him, that's amazing, awesome and brilliant. Taylor deserves everything she gets because she has worked so hard for it. ❤ ❤❤❤, I'm in awe

[@damightyshabba439]

The title kind of sums it up - when I turned 30 I thought it was all over. 40 really messed me up. 50..... NOW I'm enjoying myself. Won't lie - only found Taylor via the Colbert show, but now I watch After Midnight whenever I can. She has that "Chatting to a girl in the pub" vibe. Yes, it helps that she's pretty, but its more about the personality. And as I mentioned - the "we're talking over a table" vibe makes it better. Half my age and twice as wise....

[@thewrongbike7709]

LOL! I was thinking exactly this today. I think the lesson is: you're never too old, but that's no reason to put off doing everything right now. It bugs me that I'm the same age as old people though. 😞.......vitamins and E45 creame baby.

[@surlespasdondine]

Wow really? 30 is incredibly young. I felt like it was all just beginning. And at 40 I started feeling good in my skin, so much better than in my twenties.

[@joecrowaz]

She's so freaking adorable.

[@titusrider7948]

She's such a cutie, funny and can only imagine would be a great friend. Kudos to Conan he's such a stand up guy. You can sense the genuine friendship 😊

[@lordofillusions]

05:10 it's so true, Conan. Taylor's comedy makes it easy to create a parasympathetic relationship with a "girl next door' that's kinda crazy, kinda hot, and you love having over at your house parties/dinner parties for close friends because she's so nice and has great stories.

[@MrJayehawk]

i adore her. I'd love to be back at 30 to do it over again. You're barely started.

[@BradTassell]

I am 60 and my career starting right after the pandemic has been the best in 37 years. Let’s hope that keeps going as long as I want.

[@MarcoZamora]

Conan has put what I've thought into words. I love watching them together; it's been engaging, funny, thoughtful, and heartwarming. I would also totally watch an interview/conversation with Taylor and Trevor Noah, expecting much more of the same.

[@mdclavey59]

Two of my favorite comedians! And well-deserved praise coming from Conan. IM(NS)HO, Taylor Tomlinson is THE comedian of her generation. She doesn't punch. 100% of her material is not only funny... people personally relate to it. It gives them (I think) an access to deal with their own baggage... and I think there's a lot to be said for that. And she's a master of nuance... inflection, facial cues, posturing. ("Oh... so I'm a WITCH!" and "All I heard was 'Gryffindor'!"... #chefskiss)

[@Thomasnmi]

The "so I'm a witch" bit was so funny

[@tommynikon2283]

Agreed Conan…Taylor is LEGIT, super talented, and so DESERVING of the success. She always makes me laugh…and I love her audience rapport.

[@WhatDaFaust]

Aww, don't worry. It only gets much more terrible over time. Dying family, dying friends, existential crises, the realization that there is no purpose to anything... All very exciting!

[@peterbutlien1335]

Looking forward to the day when Taylor gets a true talk show, where she talks to guests more informally than in the format of her current show. I believe an interview type show is better for her persona, and she would really shine. I'd like to see her just sitting having a coffee with her guests talking and joking about whatever comes up.

[@brianmoore5498]

Petty said it to Shandling, life is short but not short enough.

[@Thomasnmi]

She has a nice smile 😊

[@michaelchandler490]

30 is when it starts to speed up. You go from 30 to 40 a lot faster than from 20 to 30. Good luck.

[@surlespasdondine]

Yes and no. So much more happened between 30 and 40 so it seemrd like q longer (more enjoyable, fuller) decade.

[@user-gk9lg5sp4y]

Taylor sofa king funny

[@detesco764]

If you think its all over at 30... check out Pete & Bas!!! 😂😂

[@honestylowkeye1171]

I'm 33, can confirm. Haven't watched the video. Best to you all

[@sylvan47070]

Remember, the key to happiness is to chase professional success until your late 40s and then speed run a family with a man who would have disgusted you only 5 years earlier.

[@patrickmaline4258]

[@inalltheirgorgeouscolors8091]

Ughhh it’s amazing how women are constantly fed this advice

[@MichaelJames-lz7ni]

Tomlinson is a medically-diagnosed, medicated depressive. Sure, she’s funny - that doesn’t mean she should be married with children.

Pretty lady!

[@PlaceForAnEcho]

“Happiness in intelligent people is the rarest thing I know.”-Hemingway. Who was known for being a happy go lucky kind of guy. Taylor seems highly intelligent. Based on her stand up and quick banter with crowds. Would love to drink wine with her and get some laughs in before the meds hit. 😊

[@MichaelJames-lz7ni]

Hemingway committed suicide….

TT, I think you should consider having him open for you

She's not wrong.

[@michaelnolan6054]

Your brain doesn’t fully develop until you’re about 26. So you’re really just 4.

[@Mansplainer2099-jy8ps]

She actually mentions it's 27 in her "Quarter Life Crisis" Netflix special.

Conan lifting weights fast is an illusion, lifting them slow is more work, (builds muscle and strengthens tendons that fast does not, running a mile and walking a mile are the same but running builds anaerobic component.

[@brisbanesound90]

Please explain

[@brianwillis4163]

It was a joke folks... she's in her prime.

[@epbrown01]

Yep, one of the best things about turning 30 is realizing you *don’t* need help crossing the street, or have to install those handles to help you get out of the bathtub, etc. Before you get there it’s momentous, afterwards you realize most of your friends STILL don’t have their crap together. ;-)

[@tylercooper1551]

I had the same issue when I hit 30... I had a very rough midlife crisis and almost committed suicide lol

[@ChaseSecurity]

30 is still kind of a kid, not really, but kinda....

[@t.s.adrian8785]

Mitch Robbins from "City Slickers": Value this time in your life kids, because this is the time in your life when you still have your choices, and it goes by so quickly. When you're a teenager you think you can do anything, and you do. Your twenties are a blur. Your thirties, you raise your family, you make a little money and you think to yourself, "What happened to my twenties?" Your forties, you grow a little pot belly you grow another chin. The music starts to get too loud and one of your old girlfriends from high school becomes a grandmother. Your fifties you have a minor surgery. You'll call it a procedure, but it's a surgery. Your sixties you have a major surgery, the music is still loud but it doesn't matter because you can't hear it anyway. Seventies, you and the wife retire to Fort Lauderdale, you start eating dinner at two, lunch around ten, breakfast the night before. And you spend most of your time wandering around malls looking for the ultimate in soft yogurt and muttering "how come the kids don't call?" By your eighties, you've had a major stroke, and you end up babbling to some Jamaican nurse who your wife can't stand but who you call mama. Any questions?

[@clydecessna737]

I find it astonishing that Conan wasted a Harvard education on comedy.

[@TwisterTornado]

A girl I knew in grade school, she went to Harvard, but only teaches piano lessons. 🤷🏻‍♀️ I knew another guy who went to Columbia and just ended up as a not-very-successful day-trader & crypto-bro.

[@ainhoff]

Maximum class privilege status 😂

[@darrenskjoelsvold]

Yeah 30 is pretty much over the hill but there's a second hill. Being an old comic is gold but being a middle-aged comic is just kinda blah but being young is great and old is gold but middle-aged is just sorta sad.

[@chrisjohnston3405]

Did Conan try and come out here,just now? He brought up her family, “1 trans another gay” ( I think Taylor has dated ladies now). Conan then went into discussing Hugh Jackmans “perfect” physique…. Replay this clip with this in mind and tell me I’m not crazy! ( I know I’m crazy, but still, replay this clip and see for yourself!)

[@matttrafton2725]

Gawd. Conan needs to get to something g of substance. Why the fawning over her?

[@Vision_Voyagers]

Now She has her own show, so her down fall has started. Comedian turn game show host always fails. Be true to you calling, don't betray god and be a sell out.
