It’s really the best thing you’ll watch today. I know, I know. That’s big talk when a video of Louis C.K. taking down a female heckler surfaced just hours earlier, but I was planning to shut things down when I finally got around to watching the below clip from last night’s Conan and I’ve been compelled to share.
Everything about it works. Office politics, Conan’s ability to play everyone just right, and especially Associate Producer Jordan Schlansky. There’s no other way to say it than Jordan Schalansky makes the whole thing. I’m not sure his pedantic/elitist routine isn’t an act for the camera, but my gut tells me it’s not, and put him up against Conan in full Law & Order mode and that’s just good television.
Fair warning: it’s just over six minutes long. It’s a good thing you have nothing better to do.

that was awesome
I have various responsibilities at UPROXX and my avatar is a French guy. Just sayin’
I didn’t want to name any names in the writeup but now that you mention it…
If this isn’t an act then he needs a beating. He is what is wrong with the world.
He’s a pretentious d-bag. Nothing new or interesting about that.
The new and interesting part is Conan tooling on him.
yep. this was hilarious
I didnt know he was a pretentious d-bag so that’s new to me.
For the record, Conan – awesome. Pretentious D-bags – dime a dozen.
he’s always like this in other skits…hilarious nonetheless.
Look I already told you, I deal with the @#$% customers so the engineers don’t have to. I have people skills! I am good at dealing with people, can’t you understand that? WHAT THE HELL IS WRONG WITH YOU PEOPLE?!
That’s what popped into my head when he couldn’t explain to Conan what his job is.
That was fantastic. I wish Conan would just go all over the country and do this for other businesses. Would be the only reality show I would watch.
What would that show be titled?
“Office Douchebag Hunter” or “Law & Order: Pretentious Assholes”
