Memories of Junior High will help me as I grow old. No matter how much pain I'm in I can just close my eyes, take a deep breath, and remind myself "...at least I'm not 12 years old." Also, I knew bullys were miserable. I just just felt bad that I wasn't the person causing their suffering.
Claire is super cool, always has been. Conan makes his guests so comfortable that they know they can be all goofy if they want, they can be themselves, it's a rare quality he has.
Exactly! I remember running home after school to watch My So-Called Life. Whenever she's cries I always think, "How can you be MORE Beautiful crying???". Just love her! 🙏🏽💕🥰
I agree. I’m 48, and I have such clear memories of being in HS watching My So Called Life and feeling like she represented such a real and down to earth reflection of myself.
Verisimilitude has stuck with me since third grade and Claire is my teacher who still tries to keep that form of english alive. Keep vocabufuckering this world babe!
yeah she was great until she was crying every single scene and then it just became annoying. the seasons in pakistan and lebanon were cool though. the season in america was stupid
Junior High/Middle school is funny. We took everything so seriously in those days. For me it was the early nineties. It was our adolescent minds and lack of maturity. Every little thing or drama or school crush/cute girl made us go crazy inside and we all we so sensitive about everything. We wore the cringiest fashion that made us feel so cool, yet was so tacky! We made everything awkward that was not supposed to be. So social status and self esteem could be crushed by a bully or snarky mean girl's comments. There was this one girl Mandy in my grade that acted so snobbish and mean towards everybody. All that mattered to her was fashion and brands, and status and popularity and being cooler than everyone else. People acted like they liked her, especially her friend clique, but she gossiped about everyone. Including me, the New England transplant from Boston, moved down south to Tennessee by dad's job several years before. For years she acted like I was weird and out of step no matter what I did just because I wasn't southern by birth. She even spoke about her friends behind their backs. It makes me wonder what her issues were. I can see now that she was the one with low self esteem, judging herself, comparing herself to others, always seeking approval and adoration. That stupid superlative she got in the yearbook meant so much more to her that I realized at the time...
@@sweiland75 Some of us didn’t have any other options, back in the day It was either the judgmental kids who let you stay around them, or the other judgmental kids who did not 🤷♂️
Yeah, in junior high I had "friends" like that too, they continously made me the scapegoat and butt of all the jokes. They were the "cool" tough girls, who had siblings that were popular. I put up with it, because I was too scared, I didn't think anyone else would like me. Sophomore year, on the first day, they told me to get lost. It was the best thing that ever happened to me, I found real friends and discovered I could clique hop. I had friends from all groups. They eventually screwed each other over and disbanded and two of them came crying back to me, blaming the other. In the end, it turned out OK, for everyone.
My highschool broadcast journalism teacher, who I talked to so much for 4 years was formerly Claire's teacher in the performing arts school. He said she was such a mature, kind and unique girl; the other girls were very jealous of her and her talent. I always loved that anecdote.
Junior High is where you send your kids to break their souls early in life. I thought we all knew this. That said, I own the whole series DVD set of "My So Called Life" because at the time it came out I found it kinda healing, and it also helped me see my parents as more than just my parents.
What’s weird about it, is we just as a society accept it. Does it HAVE to be this way? Did we HAVE to go through it? Do our kids and then grandkids HAVE to go through it? Can’t it be some other way? Or perhaps there is no other way to transition from everyone’s happy and gets along on Sesame Street and The Brady Bunch reruns to the cruel harsh realities of the adult world.
p.s. maybe The Brady Bunch wasn’t a good analogy since that show frequently covered kids feeling like outcasts and dealing with conflict and even bullying from peers.
@@EastSide-qc5oy I think it's _maybe_ necessary because of the sudden and rapid brain development that goes on at around middle school age. It's a tough age range because empathy isn't automatic in humans. This is the age when human beings can first begin experimenting with issues dealing with empathy in order to develop (or not) this area of brain function. This is also the time when social engineering parts of the brain are growing faster as well. Put those two suddenly hyper-sprouting things together, and it can be hard for the kid, hard for the parents, and hard for everyone around the kid. Some have a harder time than others, but it's much more than just a matter of telling kids to behave.
I've never really cared for Claire Danes' work until I got around to watching her in Homeland a year ago. She knocked it out of the park in that show, supremely talented actress.
A huge flaw in Conan's "I wish I could go back and tell the younger me..." notion, which we all have had: It was still the younger you, who probably wouldn't have listened to the older you, or written you off as a sad old guy who they were never going to become.
For me, it was the opposite. Middle school was great, but then my closest friend at the time gradually became a piece-of-crap supremacist in junior year of high school, so I had to sever them from my life completely. Luckily, I transferred schools around that time.
Sad of course what they must have said or done to you. And sad that their lives were so messed up at home where it should have been safest that they were taking out that angst and pain on others.
@@worthless_opinion That's very kind. I hope it would be the kind of joke Conan would appreciate and not take offense, because that was not intended at all. He HAS compared his looks to Finnish president Tarja Halonen in the past, and claimed Tilda Swinton's Oscar win for his own in the sketch where he presented his resume!
Claire was making a very interesting point, starting at around 7:40.. She was talking about her early years, after high school, on her own as an actor.. Conan COMPLETELY sidetracks her at 8:45 and he doesn't return her to the story she was telling.. LISTEN to your guest, Conan. You and Howie M. do this a lot.
I like the detour they took rather than her droning on about something only a tiny fraction of people could empathize with. She was speaking so vaguely it was mind-numbing (to me). He saw a more interesting path and led them down that one while still talking about her and her experiences. So yeah, I actually appreciate the detour. Plus, it was a path that he had something in common with so of course he's going to chase it. Plus you know, he's a famous talk show host and has thousands of hours of experience doing this so...
jfc..... the time of the year each was born has zero bearing on how this interview went. pseudoscience is so cringe, and as an actual adult i feel sorry for the people who are actually bamboozled by it.
Im still scarred from ordering a My So Called Life DVD box set in maybe 2000... and getting nothing at all. I think maybe nobody ever got it. Some shady company I guess was making them and went under and couldnt deliver the goods.
i mean you should get the real one and correct/heal the whole thing; it's definitely more than worth it. it absolutely holds up, quality and emotionally, and makes one extra-mad as an adult that they cancelled such a television work of art.
I completely agree that this brand of basketball is the best. It’s great to watch. I feel like they are really implementing theory and plays and playing team ball. Its excellent. I think that people think that 3 point ball is more enjoyable bc if the constant adrenaline hits but at the end of the day it’s not. The shiny thing isn’t always the best thing.
"verisimilitude" - the act of trying to appear normal. Well, at least I spelled it right when I looked it up. Her vocab is too casually high. I feel dumb. "obsequious" "verisimilitude"
So she and anyone who reads a lot should not use the words we know, so you won't feel dumb? I think it's great you looked the word up, and I don't think worse of you or anyone for not knowing it. I'm sure you know a lot of things I don't know. No one should feel dumb for not knowing something. You don't know it, so what? If you are interested, you'll look it up. If not, you won't. To each her (or his) own.
This is so true! I have always been a reader, and I have always had a very strong vocabulary, but to this day, I find myself choosing more informal words when I talk to colleagues because they do not understand a lot of the words that I use. I do not want to appear arrogant, but at the same time, I like to use the words that I know, and that I am comfortable with.
it wasn't a put-on though. she was simply using the english language as it was meant to be used, and *get THIS* ...choosing the actual best word to convey meaning in a sentence. crazy, i know!
How effing ridiculous that she says she was "stunned" that her grandma was so deeply involved in theater arts, like her dad had zero memory of his own mom
I have the same feeling. She’s sharing so much info and being so open.. this should be riveting. But there’s something missing.. what is it? Pizazz? Is she speaking too slowly, too many “um’s” and too much detail in little things? Needs More dialogue with Conan like a back and forth convo and it’s too much about her right now even tho she’s the guest/interviewee? I can’t put my finger on it
@@h3artands0uLL i think it's actually vagueness. she's in big monologues of describing a ton of what's in her head but not giving examples that play upon the senses or festoon the imagination with actual story. it's okay, she's still a ton more fascinating than most.
Girls were supposed to pretend they weren’t engaged in learning? I don’t know where a lot of these women get these ideas from. Maybe Claire wasn’t liked in school for a multitude of other reasons. School was difficult socially for most people. Teenagers growing into adults and trying to figure themselves out and the world around them. I’m sure it had very little to do with Claire being intelligent and a female.
it's a well-established, particularly american phenomenon. for instance, it is addressed in 'persepolis' when the young satrapi character is verily confused over girls not being socially awarded for being academically astute, in this new country. really sad/frustrating, but totally prevalent.
nah, not at all. it's just you live in a monosyllabic dumbed down country that bans books and awards academic mediocrity by junior high, and the people who actually care about choosing the best and most descriptive english meet the mockery that you're demonstrating and reinforcing here, so you call it pretentious. fugging sad, more like it.
Claire Danes is an oddball. She was cute in her time, but she could have been a truly big star. She was on the cusp of breaking big when she turned down Titanic. Now she is stuck talking “middle school politics” on podcasts reminiscing about the 90s.
Meanwhile, it is VERY helpful for people who were bullied or are being bullied to hear stories from people they respect about how that impacted them, and how they were able to move past it.
Not everyone wants big blockbusters. She had Romeo and Juliet, Homeland, and more. She seems to be doing fine for herself. Also, you can figure out "middle school politics" on your own and still find reassurance in hearing successful people having gone through the same (often deeply internalized) trauma as you.
@@1029blue If you rely on Claire Danes to help you feel better about perceived slights from middle school, you haven’t figured anything out. The answer is within you, not a D-list former celebutante from the 90s. Instead of finding reassurance in the flannel-clad girl from “My So-Called Life,” find the courage within your heart to grow up and face the world as a functional adult. This advice will get your further than the vague musings of a Hollywood actress.

Good point. I'm gonna work that image too - no amount of pain could get close
She's got a great vocabulary. No "likes" or calling everything epic or amazing. I so appreciate that.
Loved her in My so called life. The 90's nostalgia is real, folks.
Sucks it only lasted 1season but many 90s kids like me still remember the show. What girl didn't have a crush on Jared Leto.
