The superlative

I'm the one of the biggest Conan fans I would say ever.

To-infinitive

Stand up and doing his show was just like it was a little scary, cause it's like after this, what is there to live for?

You know, like, when do you have these dreams?

I have a little bit of that with Conan, you know, it's only gotten better, and I've become, like friends with him.

But, um, there are these moments where you get to meet the people that you've always wanted to meet, and then you're like, Okay, well, I don't really have any more goals in life.

And I guess Jennifer Aniston is still have to meet her.

A lot of work goes into a short late night state upset.

As I spotlight the comedians who came up with some of my favorite coin sets things is the set up.

Please welcome the very funny Nikki Glaser.

You have a great Addison impression, which is just, uh, us.

Yeah, Yeah, I dio Oh, God, JP Oh, yeah, like it's just you just have to act like you're watching a squirrel almost get hit by a car.

That's just I always go into Anderson whenever I'm like, Oh, no, no, no.

Oh, like that's always money that before I go to for that E found a couple of photos, also of you backstage before the show.

I'm just here, so I want I want to show Let me know.

Oh, this is the best because there's always whenever I do it, even whether I'm doing panel or when I did stand up, these guys, that whole open the curtains for you are so nice.

Everyone backstage and everyone at Conan is just so kind and friendly.

And I always just feel like God, I wanna work.

It's a fun day for me, and everyone's always excited.

It just it always feels like my birthday when I'm there.

So I just remember talking to these two guys and feeling and just having some chit chat that eat that really calm my nerves.

But, um, right now in this moment, I'm I don't think obviously, I'm nervous.

And my outfit is like, I remember getting fitted for this, And I was at the time I was doing an MTV show where they dressed me like a Barbie doll.

So this was still kind of in that realm of dressing like I was gonna be on MTV very soon, and yeah, but I was, like, very.

At this point, I'm probably going over my jokes.

So I'm thinking about my jokes, thinking about the order, making sure I get it.

And while also trying toe have a conversation with these two sweet gentlemen, this is backstage Still backstage Just before you walk out there.

Yeah, I have a moment with whoever is backstage and be like, I like your shoes.

Like I like to have some kind of moment that grounds me and makes me feel like myself because I want to go out there and talk the same way that I talk, you know, backstage.

Just have some sort of interaction So I think I'm always dying to, like, pose for a picture and be like you got it.

Like, just get me out of my head for a second so that I do this every time at your show.

I flew here a couple days ago from New York City.

Whenever I fly, my mom always get so nervous.

She's like what you call me when you land.

I'm like how, But I don't call you and you just watch the news later.

E I love this joke more than you e will admit.

Yeah, I will openly admit that this was me pushing you to do this joke.

I love this joke, JP But I know I knew this joke and I knew that it never gets what it deserves.

And it makes me so mad even watching it out.

And this is one of the jokes that I'm gonna bring back and work on because this deserves more than it got, and it always doesn't get as much as it deserves.

So you're not wrong, and I'm so glad you believed in it.

Your first joke never gets what it should because they're hearing your voice.

They're getting used to you and the fact, even though you did say hello, nice to be here.

Having another sacrificial lamb ahead of this joke would have helped the secret to stand up.

It's making the audience comfortable and know that you've you've got this and you've they can sit back and relax.

Watching someone who's nervous, whether or not they're hilarious, is your bomb.

So you could be very unfunny and just look comfortable and people will laugh.

It requires too much of a leap in logic, and it's too much for the first show, but I don't regret it.

I'm glad we got it out of the way, and I'm excited to bring it back.

Another option for an opener that you had just like you were recently.

You had hit a deer, dear old man, and I hope he's OK.

Yeah, that that joke, actually, Anthony doesn't like had a the is pretty much the same joke that he later put in a special.

And so I wasn't ever able to do that again.

But that joke, that joke would have been perfect.

I mean, my my favorite opener, the one that always works and that I use all the time is I just I'm Nicky.

I just turned 27 in June of 2000 and eight or whatever.

You know, like what That one always gets them to just the shortest amount of time between you saying starting your first joke and the laugh is the best opener a a roommate.

She's not there much anymore because she just got a boyfriend or she's, like, super missing, but gonna hope for the best on that one.
