Stephen Merchant: Sex Is Hard For Tall People | CONAN on TBS

Bro I can't believe Conan interviewed Wheatley from Portal

[@TheColorHopeIsBlue]

My mom and grandparents came to my campus when I was in undergrad for Family Weekend. My intro French course was studying Amelie and we were still at the beginning of the movie. I was, thankfully, not sitting near my relatives when the “How many people are having orgasms right now?” scene came on, but I was mortified all the same.

[@Moggetslittlesister]

Conan is actually not as insanely tall as I thought he was haha. My dad's "6'4"-ish" as well. I was always under the impression that Conan was at least 6'7". Maybe everyone he stands next to is just shorter than I imagined?

[@RaniaBhatti]

He’s 6”5 that’s still really tall

[@timsweeney9283]

He's definitely a tall dude, but it'd be exacerbated by the fact that actors tend to be shorter than average height, and average height is well under 6'4" as it is

[@junbh2]

​@@timsweeney9283Unless you're in Scandinavia, average height for men is something like 5'10". Depends on your country a bit though.

[@whateverreally1347]

I think it’s because a lot of actors overstate their height. Like the Rock is listed at 6’5” and Conan is clearly taller than him, so you think Conan must be 6’7” or something but actually it’s because the Rock isn’t even 6’3”

Someone said “Steven Merchant is to Ricky Gervais as Larry David is to Jerry Seinfeld” The goods

[@outlander234]

Not even remotely close. Ricky made both Office and Extras work due to his acting. Seinfeld wasnt even an actor, he just played himself while others carried the shows. Not to mention Ricky created standups and shows on his own that are pretty good while in contrast Steve went down different road now playing drama roles. Also Golden Globes performances. This idea that Ricky cant write a good joke, that its all Merchant, I have no clue what people base it off when the reality would say its the opposite, its Ricky who seems to have more comedic talent than Steve.
