Tom Hanks Does His Steven Spielberg Impression | Conan O'Brien Needs A Friend

[@Kmichaelcook87]

Most of my favorite entertainers are rebellious (and Conan is in his own way; the Contractually Prohibited Tour is like an incredible act of proactive resistance that harmed no one… which is a sweet and I’d argue very rare branch of rebelliousness), and I find it kind of charming and anachronistic - or like a nostalgic throwback - that Conan is so tied to ads. It’s part of his history, in his DNA, and he gives so much more of himself to the ad reads than… well, probably more than anybody asked for, tbh. But I get the sense Conan truly appreciates the support - and the freedom that comes with it - of his advertisers and wants to hold up his end of the bargain, so to speak. Contrast that with the sort of antics Hollywood Handbook or Your Mom’s House have played with sponsors over the years (and those are hilarious; well worth checking out even now), and like… yeah, for my money, Conan’s attitude and approach seem sweet and charmingly old-school to me.

That’s really encouraging to know that even a master like Steven Spielberg vacillates between having a perfect plan and winging it with people on the day

[@BMFstudiosNYC]

He did the same thing with the beach scene in Saving Private Ryan, because he wanted the set to inspire him. He had no idea how to shoot the chaos. Sometimes, the best thing to do is block the scene in a way that works and then pick your angles from there.

[@mcrazz248]

[@howdareyou41]

[@Ishai1]

To be fair, The Post was a movie that was very quickly done for reasons and was a big ensemble piece, it would make sense that one will escape Tom's mind until he remember something that happened on that production.

[@DangerousDac]

Put the ads at the start for gods sake. You're big enough of a channel to dictate terms like that, when the clips are this short they're just so damned obnoxious.

[@rangers11ization]

I haven't the slightest idea how I'm going to shoot this doesn't sound like something Spielberg would ever say😂

[@tapomirbowles]

I mean, just to put that in to perspective. For most directors that would mean a mess. With Spielberg you end up with the first 20 minutes of Saving Private Ryan. He had no idea how he was gonna shoot that either until they were on the beach. His. "improvising" shots on set, is other directors most prepared best work.

[@simoncarswell3515]

That is exactly the kind of thing he would say! As Tom says in this clip, for some scenes (particularly effects-heavy scenes) they will be precisely worked out and heavily storyboarded but for others he loves the spontaneity of working it out on the fly.

[@Funkybassplayer]

@@tapomirbowles He is not for nothing the most wanting to work with movie director. If it says on the poster A movie made by Steven Spielberg. You know it’s a great movie. With Jaws you know the shark looks fake but still you watch it many times.

[@Karak-Fak]

I like this clip. It’s one of those rare examples of Conan putting the question back onto him. It’s almost like he only asks the question so he has a reason to reminisce about him. Very rare for him.

[@elskirvo]

Enjoyed the interviews immensely but those mid-sentence ad breaks kinda suck

[@Kmichaelcook87]

Conan’s kids ain’t going to college for free - neither will sonas or Matt’s for that matter. I mean, maybe they will. I’m sure they’ll be bright kids with every opportunity to succeed. And actually maybe Conan’s kids do have full rides 😅 that wouldn’t shock me. But ain’t nothin in this world for free, and ads are annoying but like… that’s in Conan’s DNA. He’s a pitchman, spokesman, always has been bc of his stature/responsibilities on Late Night. What would Conan be without advertisers? I mean, a comedic once-in-generation talent, but he himself has said on numerous occasions that he’d be doing shtick at the water cooler of Initech or wherever without the success/money, and allllllll his success and money has been tied to pleasing the affiliates and advertisers for 40 odd years. Part of his charm, I say.

[@elskirvo]

@@Kmichaelcook87 no problem with in-video promotions, but cutting an interview off mid sentence is my only complaint. maybe find a better spot to put the ad break was my only suggestion. No need to scold people on how much people other than you need to make their money.

[@laddy6910]

@@Kmichaelcook87 I get it, Conan’s successful and needs ads to keep his show running, but the issue isn’t about him needing ads, it’s about how they’re integrated into the content. No one’s saying Conan shouldn't have ads it's the fact that they’re often thrown in mid-sentence during his interviews disrupting the flow and making it harder to enjoy the moment. You can be a great pitchman and still make the viewer experience more enjoyable by being smarter about ad placement. The fact that Conan’s a comedic legend doesn’t mean he’s above a little constructive criticism.

he casually skips over the best mini series of all time, - Band of brothers- which literally has every major star of the 2000's but not only was he involved with producing and directing but he co wrote the opening episode which by every estimation is one of the best episodes of the series while on its own is impressive but if you think about it how many shows do people think the first episode is one of the best ?

[@RandomGuy285]

But he didn't act in it and Steven didn't direct. So they worked together, but he didn't receive any direction from Spielberg on that project, which is what the discussion was about.
