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.
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?
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!
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.
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.
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)
Only people disliking this video have never experienced the euphoria of eating multiple nuts at the same time, all while maintaining a healthy level of sanitation and safety.
Conan has had very good writers and "tony the camera guy" is another one of them and Conan has that charm of selling the idea, otherwise this would not work
1/3 bag = roughly 1 plate/almonds, 1 bag = 5 dollars, 200•5=1000, theyre using 200 bags or 600 plates per day, about 1 plate per minute if theyre working 10 hour shifts. Wow.
I honestly think this is one of the best, most committed sketches I’ve seen from late night television. I get that it doesn’t appeal to everyone’s sense of humor, but I come back again and again... Peak comedy right here 😂
@@rushe-1 No other show involves the staff more than Conan's. This may be lame to many today but it will be golden after many years have passed. Conan and crew will be missed.
Green Soccer you do realize that your comment doesn't really makes sense, right. you tried to establish that you'll use the rest of ur living time on a conan video but failed.
His tattoo reads "Forth now, and fear no darkness". Took me a while to make it out. It's from Return of the King; the third book from The Lord of the Rings trilogy. yvw
3:46 they had to use a different camera to capture the particular shape of the nut spoon. This just shows how serious the issue is and how important it is for everyone else to be aware of it.
The sketch is surprisingly meta. He says that he put out a complaint box to keep his staff members happy, and if you watch the Nut Spoon Scrap, it sounds like Conan only agreed to finally do the sketch to keep his writers happy.
This is 100% legit. I set up a ice cream buffet at work and we had a bowl for shaved almonds and some pecans (we got a lil fancy). We used used those foam bowls to store them and left a regular plastic spoon in there. I came later on an there were nuts everywhere! I doubt anyone actually ate any. This story hits me right in the heart
4:40 That moment at the end of that pointless back and forth with the cameraman where he just responds "Yeah" and intentionally drops any remaining momentum it had. Beautiful.
Conan is so good about using his cast and crew for hilarity! This is one of the things I’ll miss the most 😢 I rarely watch the celebrity interviews but I love watching them goof around like this
I love Conan, somehow missed this sketch. Then I heard Carl Reiner say how much he loved this sketch, had to watch it. He's right. It's absolutely great.
This is an instant classic skit, whichever writer who came with this idea "the nut spoon" is one of the very good ones at Conan, I'm able to distinguish this humor "DNA" in other skits that were just above average ,I like this writer whatever his name is , I think he's great
Quick fact: The actor in this skit, Andres Du Bouchet, also owns the Lego millennium falcon that Harrison Ford destroyed (it was not Jordan's). He said he was honored to have it destroyed by Han Solo himself.
Ahhh i needed to see this one again. One of my favorite sketches of all time. My favorite parts are when they are holding Tony back when he gets angry then he goes right back to a huge grin and glean in his eyes when resuming talking about the beloved nut spoon. Also when the guy in the back gets the record of 3 and they pan out and there is like 5 times as many nuts on the table that was on the original plate lol. This is comedic gold.
I just LOOVE how with every year Conan gets away with more and more shitty mindnumbingly absurd content lasting for 6 minutes like that just because he's soo freaking charismatic and it's the best show on telly! I like that so much!
"Ok. Now, here's where the story...maintains the same level of interestingness." Brilliant line, perfect delivery.
I was reading this comment the moment I heard it
One of my favorite skits
Hes one of the writers and hes hilarious
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.
My favorite line. I use it when I tell stories.
We need more episodes of Tony’s incredible hate towards Andy. That transition from cool, calm and collected to psychopath was gold.
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.
and the transition from anger back to calm and smile again...
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?
It's the transition back that's the funny part.
Uh, that's "collected" - not "collective". Are you the type who writes "for all intense and porpoises" too?
I feel like this skit was founded on an actual complaint that they decided to turn into a skit
Joe Schmoe lol probably
The toilet paper spoon, to transfer toilet paper to the other hand
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
It was.
“Or what we on the crew sometimes call, ‘nutmix’.” -I’m dead lmao
wasnt it a mudmix?
What?
Mutt mix*
I have to admit. The idea is stupid, but the acting of the angry cameraman was beautiful.
yeah, they need to keep his anger of andy going, should have said ill be watching you richter
Lol...he sells the bit like hell is about to freeze over
frznfido bro his freak outs were the best part of the video
He should be a voice actor
He's not really a cameraman. He does regular skits on Conan
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.
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.
One of the most decent and kind people in the world. On and off the set.
Yeah, he still has the same wife. That explains it 😂

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

Pretty sure no one else there would be able to use the spoon because the instructions are in Italian.
And I bet its even engraved with Italian writing
omg hahahaha he won't tell a soul tho
@@ferda9476 That is a perfect Schlansky impression, lol.
Nut hygiene is no joke, especially in these troubling times. I'm glad Conan's crew is here to spread the message.
Great point. Fellas, check your nuts.
A masterful comment

Spread the message and not spread germs

Boondock I didn't know Jordan Schlansky had a TH-cam account 😂
I am a deeply emotional man
There mad cuz they still can't pick up more than 2 nuts with there current nut spoon
GENIUS comment hahaha
Tony thecameraman’s explosive anger toward Andy never gets old.
He comes from a long line of Thecameramans
"Here's where the story maintains the same level of interestingness"
God I love that line lol
"Now here's where the story maintains the same level of interestingness..."
All the other complaints are from Jordan Schlansky
Where is that guy? Have not seen any clips about him lately
He's busy with various tasks and duties.
i love these comments!!!!! we should have a dedicated JS forum!
Rumour has it that he's left Conan for good
He left the show??
"We have a table of snacks backstage for the crew!" As it shows a huge table with only a small plate of nuts. Lol
My favorite part is how 30 nuts on a small plate turned into 1000 nuts on the table.
This was old school Late Night Conan with all the absurdity
yasssss
all it needed was max
more bits like this please, ty!
qwerty And Joel.
Agreed. Watching it reminded me of watching Conan in the '90s. The stupidity was what made his show so brilliant.
The randomness of such a mundane topic being analyzed and dissected in this sketch is why I love Conan and his writers. They make even this hilarious.
This is the dumbest thing I've ever seen and it's still smarter then anything Jimmy Fallon has ever done.
I got some nuts for Jimmy right here.
So... that means you've never watched anything by Jimmy Fallon. I envy you.
this was brilliant... including the subtext
*sigh* everyone seems to be thinking about Fallon lol
Jimmy Fallons forced laughs is annoying
I'm so glad that Mitch Hedberg came back to life to be a camera guy in this skit.
Me too
I THOUGHT he looked familiar
Genius. I'm serious. I think this is one of the funniest skits ever on Conan. The surface stupidity of it is actually very smart.
thank you !!!
I honestly couldn't stop laughing.
turns out carl reiner loved it so much he taped it and showed it to friends, so you're in good company
Conan has had very good writers and "tony the camera guy" is another one of them and Conan has that charm of selling the idea, otherwise this would not work
Same, I wanna know who wrote it.
2:56
"Now here's where the story maintains the same level of interestingness".

Absolutely agree!
3:40 you can see Conan is holding it in so he doesn't break character, and he's trying hard.
Nour Imam a
He's actually saying "come on Tony ... you can pull through this sketch... come on..."
It reminded me of Chandler's face during sex
I'm here because this was Carl Reiner's favorite Conan sketch.

He got to watching Conan -- had no time to truly comment because he was watching Conan -- then died during the watching of Conan.

Great find!
The whole crew is a little nuts.
NO! get out..

It takes a special kind of nut to write a sketch like this.
uhh nuts you beat me to the joke
rsw0103 this is so NUTS
When Bill Tull says "Back to you, Conan" I don't know why but man it's funny. RIP Bill Tull! ❤️
I watched this this morning when i woke up, now that im fully awake, i just realised this video wasnt a dream lol it actually exists
🤣🤣
Your so stupid, hahahahaha lmao. Too funny

The crew should complain about the nut plate situation next. If the nuts were in a bowl , it would be easier to use the nut spoon 😋
How dare you!
@@BigShastaKen not funny
@@Benimbabyb AND YOU TOO ANDY STFU AND DONT YOU MAKE FUN ABOUT MY FRIEND!
Hahhahahahahahahahahahha
Dats the joke kinda.
I like how Mitch hedberg is one of the cameramen.... "I used to eat nuts, I still do but I used to too"
This is what happens when Conan goes to Mexico and misses the pitch meeting.
Dh nlghtnd 1 It was probably funnier on paper.
I thought it was funny. In a Wes Anderson kind of way
actually seems to be the be a long-standing joke haha th-cam.com/video/DyZJrlHKzRw/w-d-xo.html
Man, it's a single joke sketch. A single joke that drags on and on and oooooonnnn.....
The sketch is surprisingly meta. He says that he put out a complaint box to keep his staff members happy, and if you watch the Nut Spoon Scrap, it sounds like Conan only agreed to finally do the sketch to keep his writers happy.
If that dude is actually a cameraman then hes one talented video jockey
Get bent.
Fyi, he’s definitely an actor that frequently partakes in sketches on conan
I'm actually pretty sure he's the cameraman I checked the camera crew list
trina Stark He’s a long time Conan writer that acts in a lot of sketches
What's his name? He's been so good in so many bits with Conan.

I love that he gets his crew and staff involved. And that Tony - great delivery!!
That camera guy was the funniest part!!!!!!
Ash Angel robbie the high camera man😂
Both camera mans were who write this sketch
He went full Clubber Lang against Andy.
César Madero
"wrote"
1:15 Very smooth of him to turn the card around even though nothings written on it
I love how Conan involves the whole crew in his stuff
David Gonzalez they are actually producers
Marco Cousins still his crew
"I still eat nuts at home though."
"Yeah."
"I've never successfully eaten nuts at work."😂
“I still eat nuts at home though.” 😂😂
Good for you, buddy. Staying strong in the struggle and all 😂😂😂
The real issue is nuts being served on a plate.
Nono, its the spoon...
"This is where the story maintains the same level of interestingness" lol
I lost it when they zoomed out the table filled with nuts hahahahahaha man this whole skit was pure gold!

Omg, the otherwise empty snack table really got me! Just that huge table with a tiny plate of nuts!
I love how Tony almost broke character when he got angry.
Congratulations Conan you just beat every host with nuts and a spoon.
Tony the Cameraman it's growing on me. What a great cameraman.
4:40 That moment at the end of that pointless back and forth with the cameraman where he just responds "Yeah" and intentionally drops any remaining momentum it had.
Beautiful.
Why do some of you watch Conan if you're going to complain about absurdist humour? That's his bread and butter.
"Ok, here is where the story maintains the same level of interestingness" will be my new phrase when I'll be telling a story.
This reminds me of classic Conan I love it
This is seriously the only funny and creative Talk show left.
Better question: Why does Conan have a soup spoon on him?
Answer: I mean, have you seen his hair?
Better answer:
SHUT UP
3:34 Conan's reaction after this moment is...one of my all-time favorites XD
Conan is so good about using his cast and crew for hilarity! This is one of the things I’ll miss the most 😢 I rarely watch the celebrity interviews but I love watching them goof around like this
I’ve been binging absurdist Conan sketches, and what I think keeps them entertaining is the ensemble of crew members nail their parts.
I laughed so hard 😂. The rage!
Deirdre Battice I cried so softly 😭! The calmness.
5:35
The nut spoon is not the problem
Conan needs to spring for a nut bowl
🥣
0:52 I love how he looks at the cue cards to "read" the complaint note.
Conan said on his last show (I think) that they always tried to hit the balance between stupid and smart.
This nailed it XD
You're correct, he said it in his closing remarks on his final episode. The very first sketch I thought of was the nut spoon sketch. :D
"So, now is when the story maintains the same level of interestingness" 😂
3:38 This is one of the greatest sketches ever...Conan's face says everything XD
LMAO!!! How he freaked out on Andy! Surreal and hilarious bit.
This is so unexpectedly wholesome and I want it protected at all costs
I love Conan, somehow missed this sketch. Then I heard Carl Reiner say how much he loved this sketch, had to watch it. He's right. It's absolutely great.
andre's delivery is just perfect.
you guys are silly, this sketch is intended to be "DUMB", and it's stupid funny lol
You can actually now tell how the whole crew of Conan Show are just all Talented. No Doubt its my favorite late night show & best of the best.
We have the same issue at my job thanks Conan's Crew... Nut Spoon! Nut Spoon! Nut Spoon!
'Tony's' unbridled hatred for Andy was one of the funniest running gags on Conan.
It's so nice Conan includes all his staff.
1:50
Love how david benioff holds the camera guy
Just heard of the unfortunate passing of prop master Bill Tull and I immediately remembered this skit. RIP Bill 💔
Conan trying his best @3:38 to keep a straight face is the best part of this bit.
Wow the whole crew was in on this sketch. They must have worked on this one for a while.
One of the best bits with Bill Tull. RIP

I don't know exactly why, but after all this time, i still watch this sketch on a regular basis.
Tony's the best.
Tony switching from "Kill Andy" to ":D :D :D" gets me every single time. One of the best running gags in the show.
Conan and the team are comedic geniuses.
6 years later and my brother-in-law and I still quote from this sketch all the time 😂
I like how the table just had the nuts on it and no other snacks
The funniest part of the sketch was how fast Tony the Camerman could go from sheer intense anger to a rosy smile of his face.
You don't keep nuts on a plate, you keep them in a bowl.
SmallArmy or in a sack! lol
Extremely consistent level of interestingness.
I demand to this sketch to appear on a collection, when Conan turns 25 years of Late Night.
