Based on the dull reactions from the crowd you can tell he was way ahead of his time.
Now they scream with laughter before he even gets to the punchline.
The book he's promoting is Barrel Fever and Other Stories. All of his books are great listens. I've read them in print as well, but nothing beats listening to him read his stuff aloud.
David Sedaris is the BEST! 😂🙌 I love his perspective! He has such an endearing honesty and authenticity. Grinning ear to ear whenever he speaks.
I love that he was a Macy's elf years ago & then his sister was in the movie "Elf" years later. Too bad he didn't make a cameo.
If you ever get a chance to see David Sedaris he does a great show. Mostly, he’s reading his books but it’s hilarious.
He's getting a lot older and his current tour is very long. Expect a lackluster performance.
@@richsackett3423 oh, sorry to hear that. I’ve no intention of going to any live shows of anything anymore so glad I caught him early.
I saw him just before the pandemic and he was wonderful
He's as great as he ever was, in my humble opinion
I love when David's first thought after discovering a gun was to wipe his fingerprints off 😆
Is this not. Conan, not David?
Can't believe this is like 27 years ago now 😆 That's wild.. My 90s-kid mind would still guess '27 years ago' was like 1983, not '94 😆 ..Feeling older all the time x)
Same, in the 90s/00s to me 30yrs ago was still the 70s
This video is from almost 3 decades ago? God, I'm old
Everything feels very 27 or 42. I quit counting, stopped worrying and allowed myself to enjoy Life, David & Amy Sedaris more 😘❤️👽🖖🥰♾️🕉️🔥☘️ What a great #Upload🔥😘❤️👽🖖🥰♾️🕉️🔥☘️
Love David Sedaris
…NPR’s reading of Santa Land Diaries + his original reading of Six to 8 Black men…Have been our Families Christmas listening tradition since 2007…I highly suggest y’all do the same
This guy has some great lines during the interview and he’s not getting the laughs I expected
Seriously! What a dead audience!
It seems to me that they didn’t have as many mics on the audience as they do now. And now it always feels so manufactured. I actually found this enjoyable to listen to and a nice change of pace. But that might just be me
Sedaris is an acquired taste. I love his work, but also understand why a 1994 free ticket, Times Square tourist Conan audience might find him boring
It's a psychological fact that crowds are more "generous" with their laughter if they're responding to a known or established entity; Sedaris was no household name in '94. Further, he wasn't saying anything especially funny. His Woody Allen vibe and "handling kids" exchange didn't help matters either. Unless you count nervous laughter.
In the audio version of this story he does a Billie Holiday impression that is positively eerie.
I've never seen young Sedaris. Thanks for this
Oh you made my day with this! He is my favorite author. I don't think I've seen an earlier video of him 😀
David is definitely worth looking up He is funny!
Conan and David both seem kinda stilted here for two of the funniest people on the planet. Both basically babies at this point still.
Conan? One of the funniest people on the planet? Hardly.
Conan seems more relaxed here than he does nowadays
I love this interview!
Can’t wait to see David live next year
I'm also pulling for him
I’m seeing him in February, I’m so excited!
@@DurkMcGerk With luck he could live for quite a while still!
They hadn't yet invented clothes that fit in the 90s, his shirt looks like a sail. :D
Yes but we were comfortable and we got our moneys worth in cloth.
Lol who cares?
Two problems, (1) it was the style for baggy clothes (2) he’s a short, skinny man.
“It was $15 an hour.”
“That’s not bad.”
For 1994 that’s probably excellent. But $15 an hour in 2021? That would be horrendous for NYC.
$15 in 1994 is equivalent to $28.13 in 2021, which was definitely not bad for the mid to late 90's, considering how great the economy was.
@@NextToToddliness No, it’s fantastic! But there’s no way people doing that same job in 2021 are making that kind of money.
I thought he said it was $10 an hour and his boss took half. He might have meant that it was $15 for the three hours, so $5 an hour.
@@GabrielTravelerVideos correct. I was like… what? And he said his “master” takes half? Wtf?!?
EVEN IN 1994, $10 wasn't great for NYC. It was more than minimum wage, but you would have been barely making it.
I love his voice.
I enjoy his books very much indeed. His personality shines through his writing, so that there’s a sparkle to everything. Have read all the books, bar one that I want to put off reading as long as possible - because I won’t like reaching the end!
6:00 There’s a great example of how smart Conan is, he was able to figure that out and explain it right on the spot, and he’s entirely right
There was nothing remotely impressive about that exchange.
LOL
Yeah hilt
"I think people worry that they dont live in a democratic nation if they're waiting in line for more than three hours, especially if you're waiting to see Santa."
- brilliant
nice
It’s so weird to hear that voice coming out of a person.
One of the funniest men on the planet.
Its like if woody allen were a decent person.
That’s amazing
woody allen did nothing wrong. read the essay written by mia farrow's son. she's the villain, not him.
? what ?
I wonder which book he was promoting.
I think Barrel Fever. But it's also in Holidays on Ice, which is really excellent
Barrel Fever was out in '94, so it'd be that one.
"This one time I came across plane tickets for something called the Lolita Express, with included photographs of this odd, striped cube structure. I guess it was some fancy getaway palace."
God, was the audience dead?
Is he related to Amy?
Yep, her brother
Yes, he actually did the voice of princess caroline's mom
@@venezuela0076 oh wow, I didn't know that
David reminds me so much of Woody Allen here.
PEOPLE wait in lines for hours in China, you figure they got sick of that.
some parents stand kids on shopping center garbage cans to relieve themselves
look @ young stoner david
his darker jokes really are not hitting, lol
He reminds me of Monica's underage boyfriend in 'Friends' who lied to her about his age. Anyone else think so?
His cleaning work is a fetish, not a job. Key is when he says his "master."
R.I.P, covid did get him....
He's still alive.
Don't make up rubbish. There's already a surplus.
