How are they?

Must be very proud of you.

Yeah, they for sure are, Which is the sweetest thing in the world.

But but my mom.

So I mean, right when I got the job and this was probably remember, like, two weeks into it.

My mom and I were in a public restroom, and there were there were a lot of people in there, and I was like, Mom, I'm gonna wait for you in the lobby And she goes, Okay?

Heidi Gardner, my daughter on And I exited.

And of course, this was two weeks in SNL.

I mean, it takes probably three years for anyone.

You know who you are on that stuff, but for sure, no one knew.

I waas.

So I I go out and I sit in the lobby and my mom comes out, and I was like, came on where you sit with me for a second.

She was like, Yeah, honey.

And I go, Hey, I I saw what you did in the bathroom, and, you know, I'm just not very comfortable with that.

I don't I don't like that.

And she goes, Honey, I'm just bragging.

That's so funny.

My mom, when I had the late night show first couple of years into having the late night show, she used to really do this.

She got a bunch of late night with Conan O'Brien key chains and she kept them in her purse on she should we would go through that.

She would go through the line a t, the local supermarket in Brookline, Massachusetts, and then the person would be bagging her groceries and should say, Do you like television on the guy?

Be like, Yeah, sure.

Do you ever watch late night television?

And you'd say, Um, yeah, I watched some late night.

Do you ever see Conan O'Brien and the guy be like, Yeah, I know.

I see that show.

Do you like Conan Brian?

He's okay.

Well, guess what.

He's my son, and you can have a key chain.

I could just picture all these people reluctantly taking a key chain, but it makes them so happy.

And that makes me happy to hear, because I think I'm always thinking and like Oh my God, people must be so annoyed by my mom.

But if I was that cashier, I would think that was the cutest thing in the world.

E.

Yeah.

Is your dad brag about you?

Yes.

So my dad, he he tries to do it a little more low key.

He drives for uber, and he likes Thio.

Um, do like the early pickup.

So, like, airport runs or but a lot of times he does Sunday morning, Like picking people up from the bars or wherever they've been.

And so he'll tell stories of, like, picking up a whole, like, bachelorette girls from a bachelorette party and like they'll, you know, be out on an all nighter and, like, trying to settle in.

And my dad's like, So, ladies, at 4.

30 in the morning, did you guys watch just last night like, no way.

We're on a rave.

We were clubbing.

Yeah, Um, sometimes it's like but some of them, But then I say, But have you ever watched and then, you know, and then they know who you are, and they really like your work.

That's nice.

Yeah, that's nice.

I'm glad.

I'm glad that you're I think it's a very nice thing.

I'm sure they're extraordinarily proud of you.

And, uh, you are crazy, talented.

You're crazy, talented, And I'm very happy for you.

I really am.

It's nice I get, uh I don't know what it is, but when When I see young people, uh, that are inordinately talented, doing good work, it just makes me happy.

I just, like, restores my faith in the whole system, you know?

Well, you know, for years I had your quote.

If you're kind and you work hard, amazing things will happen right over my bed.

So Oh, that's so sweet.

That's nice.

Well, guess what?

I What I should do is amend that quote and say amazing things will happen.

And then you'll get your shit stolen out of the theater.

I'll just add that at the end.
