Normally on Thursdays, we drop a fan episode, but I want to do something a little different today.

Past simple

he was chatting about a comic we both love, a Boston comic, Brian Kiley.

Brian is working with me in my office right now on the Oscars.

And I thought, hey, Brian's in the building.

We've known each other since we were kids.

Anytime I do anything where I need great jokes and everyone else is busy, I get Brian Kiley.

I mean, I really cast a wide net, and no one wanted to work with me.

We've known each other since we were kids because you would chat with my brother Luke at our Catholic instruction class that met at the cenacle.

We were in Brighton on the top of a high hill.

These nuns taught Catholic instruction on Monday afternoons.

And I think you and my brother Luke started chatting with.

With each other about the Bruins and the Red Sox.

And I was in the corner doing bits for, like, a.

we would talk about the football games the day before, which we would still be doing now.

We were like, eight years old or nine years old.

Dan, Say that a little slower because it said you were in my brother's.

It sounded like you were in my brother's dance class.

Were in the same class, and then they both.

You were in my brother at Lamaze's class.

So Dan and Conan were in the same class, and then they went to Harvard together.

And then my brother Dan would show me the Harvard Lampoons, and he'd be like, remember Conan o'?

And he would show me these things, which were great.

First of all, the class of 83 didn't do nearly as well as the class of 85.

We didn't go to Harvard, Luke and I, you dummies.

I know, but we'd read these lampoons, and then I kind of followed your Career.

Because I knew you were on the Simpsons and snl, but

I would have walked by you on the street, not known you.

Well, you would have been like, wow, who's that guy?

Yeah, that sounds like 80s in the 90s and stuff.

But so I. I think you came to work on Late Night.

You came in one day and you were wearing an Irish cap.

And you were chatting with a bunch of the writers in the hallway.

And I see you in the hallway, and I'm like, hey, we know each other.

I pushed a button that said, please get him out of here.

You were immediately taken away by NBC pages and a robot.

And then shortly after that, there was an opening for you, and

you came and started writing jokes for me.

I mean, my White House correspondents dinner, both of them with Clinton and with Obama.

I mean, everything I ever did, the two Emmy shows and all the late night shows I've ever done.
