@5:15 "and raped!" oh man, rofl, tears in my eyes.

loves me some conan; so awesome when he has a straight-nerdy-guy foil to play off of.

"You have GOT... to shut the fuck up" Bahahahaha!

Oh man, that Jordan Schlansky guy and I would NOT get along.

Maybe it's because I'm not rich, but I just don't understand somebody having that many standards for what they consider 'good service' at a restaurant.

Oh fuck, Jordan Schlansky is... not the kind of person I can relate with. Pretentious, entitled, smug, ignorant asshole. Uuugggggghhhhh....

A little bit of knowledge is a very, VERY dangerous thing.

Is that guy for real?

Also, I feel rather badly for laughing at the rape jokes.... Upvote.

that guy is a dick -- and conan, as usual, isn't funny.

People, come on! it's TV! Jordan Schlansky is fu**ing hilarious, and damn can he keep a straight face. The original segment on him is here:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WPdz3irQgq0

Conan catches him out at one point when he finds Pop Tarts and Honeynut Cheerios in Jordan's office.

Yeah, come on, you don't actually believe that's a-grade 100% real. He's probably quite a bit like that, in that he is an elitist prick to an extent, but he can probably laugh at that, and as such does these segments poking fun at his elitist snobbery.

He probably finds it hard not to laugh during these bits.

But yeah, deep down, he's probably a dick.

Surely no one thought this was real. I'm sure they asked this guy to play a caricature of himself. His ability to maintain his straight face is incredible though.

*woohoo, *happy Tuscan olive oil. It's like Conan is channelling his inner Homer.

He's real! Watch how every muscle in his body freezes up when he gets dissed or how he assumes they need to do another take after Conan interrupts his story with "and you were raped." There are limits on how talented an actor can be!

HAHAHA that was awesome. That guy was the biggest, fakest douchebag I have ever seen. He spouts the most trite drivel that he read in some book about fine dining.

I would love to have dinner with Conan. He is just naturally hilarious.

Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaand raped.

ps. I still can't get over how damn tall Conan is.

That guy can't be real, and the fact its all staged doesn't really make it that funny. I laughed at the rape thing though.

I'm sorry but I just sat through nearly 10 minutes of crap for one good line. I have to agree with tranecoach, Conan just isn't funny.

LOL I'm pretty sure that Jordan guy is over accentuating himself for the show.

wow Conan really laid into him there. Also if you dont find Conan's comments at the dinner table to be hilarious you just might be Jordan Schlansky. :-D

I'd love to sit on that guy and hold him down while I force feed him kool-aid and pork rinds.

This is on Hulu (as parts 1 and 2) but I'm not sure if that can be used to fix this.
