ESSENTIAL LISTENING

Conan O’Brien on The Nerdist
From his work on The Simpsons to hosting his own TV show, Conan O’Brien is one of the most influential comedians around… but he’s also one of the enigmatic. On this episode of the Nerdist, O’Brien talks about how his audience evolved from his family to friends at school to his run on national television. “I would say my best stuff doesn’t get on the show, I do stuff for the writers and people at the office.” Conan if you’re hiring, call us!

Tom Lennon and Ben Garant on Girl On Guy
This week on Girl On Guy, the comedic minds behind The State, Reno 911! and Night At The Museum sit down with Aisha Tyler to discuss what it was like living in New York City in the ’80s, their freshman year of college and how the writing of The State often resulted in fist fights. Seriously. Lennon also adds that the members of The State are also currently working on a new script, so hopefully they’ll be able to once again transform those arguments into amazing comedy sometime soon.
