Jack McBrayer went from working on Late Night with Conan, to playing a character wanting to be interviewed by Conan, to actually being interviewed on Conan, and finally ending up on the Eric Andre show.
gibus theinfamous I think that’s because Conan and NBC fought bitterly in the middle of 30 Rock’s run. He moved to LA, got another show and probably didn’t want to return there.
Conan has mentioned that he envies his longtime friend Bob Odenkirk's acting talent for comedy, drama, and now action. He also says he looks too distinctive to play any except himself.
Tomasz Skowroński my list was of hosts that are american and I have at least seen once, so I can't judge others who I'm not sure of. One thing is for sure though, litterally anyone is better than Kimmel.
when i was about 13 i would pretend i was the most beautiful man in the world "Morten Harket", and me and my best friend would do MTV interviews as the pop band A-ha.
RagebrosINC Nah, I think we were calling him an egomanic way before it was cool. You guys keep getting stuck embracing the crazy egomanics when they embrace your politics, though. Who'd have thought you'd get to embrace Roseanne, Kanye, Ted Nugent, and Scott Baio? You're so lucky.
Christen Kimbell did I say my political affiliation? I'm not a retardocrat or a retardican. That's what the world refuses to see...that you liberals are truly racist, judgemental, anti-free speech sacks of shit. Just like republicans. You are no different. Go cry about this on your femanist blog that has 2 followers. Your other account and your mom.
Jack and Aubrey weren't Conan interns. Aubrey was a NBC page though. Some of the interns that went on to be famous are John Krasinski, Mike Birbiglia, Mindy Kaling, Vanessa Bayer, and Ellie Kemper. I can find numerous references to them being his interns but only one article that mentions in passing that Jack was one. Vanessa Bayer is misspelled as Bauer in the same sentence so I question its credibility.
@@dlxmarks i think jack was an actor for conan. theres a conan blooper where an actor is in a big box dressed as a movie, and he falls over and you can see the actor. 99% sure its jack lol
And he appeared on the show a few times before he booked 30 Rock! There's a great interaction between him and Conan in the documentary "Conan O'Brien Can't Stop."
*"I didn’t run into another single living soul. Except one giant lesbian...* *Who is Conan O’Brien, and why is she so sad?"* not an appearance but my favorite Conan mention in 30 Rock
Watching Kenneth sit there in the guest chair made me laugh because he worked on Conan's show for a few years. Along with John Krasinski, Mindy Kaling, Ellie Kemper otherwise known as the most of the Office cast. I always liked it when Conan would just pop in on 30 Rock.
On the Conan show yes I don't think on 30 Rock though. However at the time of this show she was married to Will Arnett who is Jacks rival in the show. That kinda counts right? lol
I love when Jenna speculates Jack and Lemon's fight into some kinky romance film thing, he has absolutely mo reaction and keeps on like he didn't hear a word.
The Conan episode of 30 Rock was the one that got me hooked. Rure Jure, Stabbing Robot, Dr Spaceman, "let's not do this, Elizabeth". Just a chaotic masterpiece.
It's one of my favorite episodes because the ticking clock & Liz running on empty for the whole stressful, chaotic day really adds to the suspense & we're watching events come down to the wire on if things are going to go well or disastrously.
That episode also aired after the Conan/NBC debacle and I think he wasn’t allowed to appear on any NBC show. The green screen may have been a way to get around that
The best part to me is that "Stabbing Robot" fits in perfectly with Conan's surreal characters, like Pimpbot, Masturbating Bear, Vomiting Kermit, Abe Vigoda and the Fed-Ex Pope.
Lmao i saw the interview with him being tormented by Eric Andre. Its like he's just in character as himself. "They say if its grey, its good for you." "...No one has ever said THAT"
Conan looks like he's five-foot-two when he's behind the desk. It always seems to take me by surprise when he stands up next to someone and he's like YIKES six-foot-something.
It was during the last season when the set was being downsized I believe. They even made a joke in another scene about it (Liz's office suddenly turned into a lake with flamingos)
Yea, I was like. What's going on? But I'm assuming he did it quickly on a completely different location and that's what's going on? They aren't actually in the same room.
On his podcast, Conan talked to Tina Fey about how much better Alec Baldwin is at acting. At least in these clips, Conan seems to be a pretty good actor himself!
The joke with Kenneth sitting in the chair pretending he gets interviewed by Conan and then clogs feel extra meta given that Jack Macbrayer got his acting start as a bit actor on Conan's show that eventually led to his casting on 30 Rock an his stardom as an actor, leading him to actually sit in that chair and be interviewed by Conan for real lol
I didn't get why the whole Kenneth-Conan interaction was funny, until I found out Jack McBrayer got his start on Conan's show! Such a great meta moment.
I feel like the elevator scene was green screened. It looked odd, and I’m also pretty sure that Conan is much taller than Tina fey. Even taller than this shot would have you believe
Conan sometimes looks old and sometimes looks young, but never seems to age. How is this possible? xD
He.Has.No.Soul. Loooool
Lol drugs my friend
Make up
Baby blood
Lol, this sounds like a riddle. "I sometimes look old, and sometimes look young, but never seem to age. Who am I?"
Jack McBrayer went from working on Late Night with Conan, to playing a character wanting to be interviewed by Conan, to actually being interviewed on Conan, and finally ending up on the Eric Andre show.
That's definitely a strange story arc
That's when you know you've made it
What a perfect life to live, huh??
TRUTH!! Lol.
Don’t forget starring in a show with Trumph, a character from Conan.
And now he was on “Conan O’Brien needs a friend”… oh, what a mysterious world 😜
‘How’s your wife?’
‘Let’s not do this, Elizabeth’
Conan’s wife is actually called Elizabeth 😂
His wife's name is Liza
@@meiji4785 Well yes, that Liza is short for Elizabeth
@@Nutteri haha of course. I dunno why didn't connect that
Yeah and she is Liza
1875HIBEESFC called, or named? Moron
Jack and Conan's mutual respect/hatred over their shared Irish heritage is gold.
I like how Conan’s “character” went from being a suave guy with a wife to begging Liz for attention lmao.
luckyDancer100 now ill never lose it!
Cos it was a flashback...
That scene was so obviously greenscreened
gibus theinfamous I think that’s because Conan and NBC fought bitterly in the middle of 30 Rock’s run. He moved to LA, got another show and probably didn’t want to return there.
@@gibustheinfamous I was wondering why it looked so weird lol
Conan is so suave and cool. That's how you know it's fictional.
" I like to surround myself that people that don't stab me". Well, you chose the wrong network to work in buddy
Conan doesn’t get enough credit for his acting.
He's playing himself.
@@bargh70 He's playing what the writers perceive of him and in an alternate reality
@@fungling7982 its not great acting, we here cause we love him, don't lie thoo
Conan has mentioned that he envies his longtime friend Bob Odenkirk's acting talent for comedy, drama, and now action. He also says he looks too distinctive to play any except himself.
It’s pretty bad tbh.

Let's be honest, we've all had Kenneth's fantasy of being interviewed on a popular talk show
when i was about 13 i would pretend i was the most beautiful man in the world "Morten Harket", and me and my best friend would do MTV interviews as the pop band A-ha.
You have never met an introvert
Absolutely
To me Conan is the only talk show host worth talking to, the rest are frauds & hacks
not even one time
Love all these bits, but why green screen elevator?
Conan was probably in LA at that point doing the tonight show.
I've always thought it's an ongoing joke, Because on that season they made a joke about obvious green screens, and then that happened
That joke is likely a result of them having to use green screen...not sure when those jokes have been made though
Because they were out of blue...
That is the finale (The hour-long series finale wrapped filming on December 19, 2012) , Conan is in LA with his new talk show.

Always makes me laugh watching the calm, quiet Conan in 30 Rock, and comparing it to his remotes 😂

5:01 bow to the awesome power of conan’s acting
And a green screen or very weird lighting
It’s so funny how every guy Liz has a history with calls her Elizabeth

He actually straightened it out once. His body is like 75%legs
“Now I’ll never lose it!”
5:02 That may have been the worst chroma keying in history.
RonsonDenmark I concur.
Yup. Pretty weird
is that green screen? No idea what chroma keying is but yeah something was noticeably off.
Yes, it is commonly called "green screen" because you normally use a green background because it differs most from skin color so it works best
yeah, why did they do that
With the exception of the last clip, I’m so not used to seeing Conan so suave and cool. It’s funny in of itself.
Why did they need to green screen.. an elevator? There's more elevators in NY than people
It was a joke in the episode
I assume scheduling conflicts
I don't think there is more elevator than people in New York, it wouldn't make sense because you regularly see elevators with a lot of people in them

‘Night Mr. O’Brein!’

Sit perfectly still, only I may dance.
Omg haha!!! That's amazing, I can instantly see that scene from the episode the second I read that...I didn't do it lolol
It must have been really hard for Liz and Conan to date with that green screen between them
Tracy dancing around and not listening just felt like a key and peele sketch of peele going nuts lol
that elevator CGI backdrop was waaay bad
lol i noticed that too. They probably filmed the two of them separately, idk why else they wouldn't just use a elevator.
Telic I think Conan had gone to L.A. for the Tonight Show at that point so they had to do it that way
Since he's probably a foot taller than her, that's probably why. Should have just had her stand on a box though.

That elevator looked so… off
Elevator scene with Conan is unnecessarily green screened and horrifying
Curious as to why that last elevator scene was green screened
"Who is Conan O'Brian and why is she so sad?"
Why is the last clip green screened? They couldn't get an elevator?
Hah hah, this guy wears that leather jacket all the time.
I dunno why but Conan acting as Conan is my favorite conan!
