[@Bobbypinker]

"Ok. Now, here's where the story...maintains the same level of interestingness." Brilliant line, perfect delivery.

[@yansonw951]

I was reading this comment the moment I heard it

[@DesertRunner602]

One of my favorite skits

[@mikekasich836]

Hes one of the writers and hes hilarious

[@billyeveryteen7328]

Andrés du Bouchet is his name. He was also in an episode of Bob's Burgers. I always keep hoping he gets more performing roles outside of Conan, but maybe he's not as passionate or comfortable acting as he is writing.

[@Code_Geel]

My favorite line. I use it when I tell stories.

[@ashrok1982]

We need more episodes of Tony’s incredible hate towards Andy. That transition from cool, calm and collected to psychopath was gold.

[@marlonrando9272]

Have a backstory of why he hates Andy. Like Andy took the last blue berry muffin from craft service or stole his gift during Yankee swap at Christmas.

[@zeegsteves]

and the transition from anger back to calm and smile again...

[@staticmonkey8436]

I was gonna say the same thing. I need him to hate Andy for something absolutely ridiculous. Like maybe Andy is the reason for such a terrible nut spoon?

[@mediocreman2]

It's the transition back that's the funny part.

[@strats991]

Uh, that's "collected" - not "collective". Are you the type who writes "for all intense and porpoises" too?

[@hamiltonharper]

I feel like they were talking about how easy it was to come up with material and and argument ensued and some writer leaned over the conference table and grabbed the nut spoon and was like, oh yeah, well I bet you can't come up with something funny about this right here!

Jordan schlansky

[@dantekyle1775]

It was.

[@ValensBellator]

"Here's where the story maintains the same level of interestingness" God I love that line lol

[@Coeurebene1]

Pretty sure Jordan Schlansky has a fancy Italian design nut spoon somewhere in his office's mess, but he keeps it all for himself.

[@ferda9476]

What you need to understand is that the idea of a single spoon designated as "the nut spoon" is a new, mostly American invention, and has no place in proper nut spoon science. The reality that the Italians not only discovered but perfected centuries ago, is that a spoon that could be used for an almond should be very shallow and wide, as, of course you know, an almond will not roll very much, at least not if it's a quality European almond. American almonds are often undersized and overly-round and may roll, but you really should only be eating European almonds. Now, for something like a macadamia nut, the spoon should be much, much deeper so as to discourage any rolling of the nut. That's why I have a wide variety of nut spoons, all handcrafted by the best nut spoon artisans in Tuscany, which I often visit whenever- (gets stabbed)

[@wyattdawg]

Pretty sure no one else there would be able to use the spoon because the instructions are in Italian.

[@inregiis5327]

And I bet its even engraved with Italian writing

GENIUS comment hahaha

[@colwilliamnoydb4134]

When Conan was screwed over on the Tonight Show, he covered the cost of all his employees bills and paid them from his own pocket. We know he has money, but he just did the right thing because he brought his whole crew who was willing to move to LA from New York to work for him. That's class.

[@user-en3tx3zu3j]

And now he's back in the poor house, just because of the thousands of dollars worth of nuts that were wasted daily by his staff.

[@davidreddington4381]

One of the most decent and kind people in the world. On and off the set.

[@mytravls]

Yeah, he still has the same wife. That explains it 😂

[@davidhurtado2725]

That was not entirely as it happened given that at the time The Tonight Show was taped in LA and it was Fallon who brought it to NYC. What did happen is he demanded NBC to bring his entire crew to LA when he took over the tonight show (his assistant at the time declined to move and that's how we were gifted with Sona!) And he also paid for them while the forced hiatus was up.

[@slovnicurling9808]
