After Conan O’Brien appeared on Hot Ones last week and created a surge of meme-worthy moments that sparked a viral stream of throwback favorites, the outpouring of love for the former late-night host has only just begun. Having spent a large chunk of his career talking to some of the most beloved personalities behind a desk for three decades, the orange-haired comedian is ready to stretch his long legs with the highly-anticipated Max Original series, Conan O’Brien Must Go. While wandering the globe to meet fans and take in the sights and sounds of four countries, O’Brien also meets his associate producer (with “various tasks”), Jordan Schlansky in the Argentina travelogue, where the two eat meat plates, dance the tango and become Gauchos. In an exclusive interview with Collider about Conan O’Brien Must Go, the beloved producer and O’Brien’s longtime friend, talks about his favorite moments with the host and how their relationship has evolved since Schlansky got his start on Late Night With Conan O’Brien in the mid-’90s.

Schlansky, who also appears regularly on The Conan and Jordan Show exclusively on SiriusXM’s Conan O’Brien Radio, told Collider that no matter what it looks like to audiences and how fraught their dynamic appears, he loves traveling with O’Brien. “I love traveling with Conan. I love spending time with him,” Schlansky says. “I love spending time with him in foreign environments. I do truly think that when you travel or experience any kind of new event with someone you know, it does bring you closer together. You not only experience things firsthand but [that’s] reflected in somebody else’s eyes, as well.”

    Jordan must have prepared his body in various ways for this interview.
  • @dicey2988
    A very Jordan Schlansky-esque camera angle
  • @whynot2594
    I'm a simple man, i see "Jordan Schlansky" i click in various ways
  • @dadabetic
    i was in Japan last month and purchased a Panasonic hair trimmer based on Jordan's recommendation 🤣
  • @tedsheridan8725
    Funny how when he's not being bullied by Conan he comes across as perfectly normal and likable.
  • @billybpoon
    This interview must be one of the various tasks Jordan was talking about.
  • @edelrosario5105
    Interviewer:"Those were 4 great episodes. Are we gonna see more in the future?" Jordan: "...I'm handed tasks and I complete those tasks." What a man. So committed to his tasks.
  • @BLTV_Photoshop
    I worked on Late Night w/ Conan for 13 years. Jordan's a great guy. Very professional and dependable.
  • @mattrobs
    Jordan hunched over the camera and staring so intently is so psychopathically Jordan
  • @andrewwhite1305
    Jordan is not playing a character, he is a hilarious weirdo, and he seems to be genuinely nice
  • @sxt4447
    I find it so hard to believe Jordan when he says he’s not playing a character and that’s just his natural report with Conan, but then I see the camera angle he chose for this interview and I think twice 😂
  • @emilvinod
    "As mere Humans", Jordan is definitely a machine
  • @cpaek72
    Saw Jordan at a Korean restaurant recently with his family and was so tempted to say hi, but I didn't want to make it into a fan moment in front of his wife :) Love that guy.
  • @kawaiiafangirl
    Doing this interview is actually one of Jordan's various tasks and duties for Conan.
  • @plagasx8105
    Holy SHIT I was absolutely SHOOK when I saw Jordan on a Collider thumbnail 😭😭😭 bravo on getting an interview with the legend himself! 🙌
  • @RT-xj7el
    Jordan should be on the Conan podcast every week. Comedic gold!
  • @zachary5845
    Conan and Jordan are the definition of extrovert adopting an introvert.
