Conan O’Brien decided to treat his employee to a nice bonus and Jordan Schlansky could not even care that his boss is flying them to Italy in a few hours. If they are going to do a whole hour of television in a foreign country, they have to plan for it. That planning is going to go as bad as you would expect it to go.
But there was one huge milestone that finally happened after 23 long years together. The very stoic Jordan Schlansky finally broke out in laughter. That’s right, after nearly two decades, he finally cracked a smile. What got him to do it? A simple staring contest which he lost by smiling like the Joker.
That comment spurred something in Schlansky and he went off on Conan’s face in return. Well, he would not say what he did not like about it until the TBS host threatened that they were not going to Italy anymore. Therefore, what does he not like about that mug? Conan’s skin is dry. Something, we the viewer, don’t see, but now we will be on the lookout for it.
Another thing we need to be on a lookout for is their special episode of Conan Without Borders where they got to Italia on April 11th. I really pray it is a backdoor pilot for a TBS comedy with these men as the stars. I cannot remember the last time I laughed so hard because I was doing spit takes and I was not even drinking anything at the time. They are just so hilarious together. Don’t you just love the way they play with off of each other?
