زیرنویسها (793 بخشها)
Hey, welcome to a Thursday episode of
Conor O'Brien Needs a Friend. Usually
these are fan episodes, but we've been
mixing it up a little bit recently. I'll
tell you why. Getting ready for the
Oscars and uh I have my A+ elite writing
staff downstairs in the building working
hard on concepts, riddles, quizzes,
recipes for the Oscars. And uh I am very
fortunate. I'll just come out and say
it. Uh, I I work with the best writers
in the world and one of them I I'm I
want to come up and hang with them. We
did this with Ryan Kylie uh a couple
days ago and now we're going to do it
with Mr. Todd Levan about as sharp a
writer as you will find. You really are.
>> That's really nice.
>> You're you're uh crazily talented and
I'm so glad that you're helping me with
the Oscars and we've I think you joined
me. Is it Did you say it was 2009 was
when you came on board?
>> 2009. Just as you were wrapping up late
night in New York.
>> I was wrapping up late night and I was
headed to the to take over the Tonight
Show for a 30-year run.
>> And you had jobs for life.
>> You said I remember I hired you and you
said, you know, Tonight Show hosts last
forever. Yes.
>> Um and you you said, "Count me in."
>> And you started spending money like
crazy.
>> Oh, yeah. It was most of it was spent
before I even got to California.
>> Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. He showed up and the
first day he got he said, "I'm buying a
Bentley."
>> Oh,
>> yeah. And he got a license plate that
said, "Tonight Show for Life."
>> And I said, I looked it up.
>> It was way too many characters.
>> It was
>> for a license plate. It wasn't even
legal.
>> It was actually Tonight Show for Life
three because two other people had
gotten the same vanity plate.
>> Two other writers from my Tonight Show.
Yeah. So, you were with me for the end
of Late Night, Tonight's Show, then the
TBS thing, and now uh Oscars, and yeah.
So, you will be my writer for life,
whether you want to be or not. So, I'm
just Let's get into this a little bit
because there are different types of
writers. There are the kinds that that
chatter constantly. I I'm sorry to say I
was one of those.
>> Oh my god. doing bits in the room and uh
dancing around like a a chimp a chimp on
crack.
>> And then um Todd, you're that I call you
you're like a ninja, an assassin.
>> You you're quiet. You're taking things
in and then you'll say something that's
really hilarious and you'll write
something that's really great, but
there's not a lot of, you know, uh
babbling and hey, look at me, which I
really admire.
>> It's not demonstrative because I believe
in my work.
>> Oh, okay.
>> Wow. No, I I am very much like a bad m
magician and I'm also a bad musician,
but I'm a bad magician trying to
distract you. I'm like, whoa, look at
this. And and then cuz I'm afraid
someone will really look and see there's
not a lot of protein here.
>> No, but I I was I think it's also just
because I'm I've never been
uncomfortable with that part of like
performing stuff, you know? Even when I
was doing standup, I was the guy who
just hugged the microphone. I just held
it dear to me and it I wasn't like a big
actor. You
>> often try and leave with it like Todd,
you've got to keep that.
>> Come back with the mic.
>> Uh well, tell me about your journey a
little bit because um this happens so
often. I work with these really talented
people and I get to know them. We're in
the trenches together and I think, hey,
I don't really know your origin story,
but when did you know, oh, comedy is for
me?
>> I mean, I think I always knew it as a
kid, but I didn't know. I think you
probably hear this a lot and I think a
lot of people who are in comedy say
this, but I didn't know it was a career.
>> You know, I didn't grow up in that kind
of environment. You know, my parents
were both state workers in Albany, New
York. And I so I loved comedy as a kid
and my dad was really instrumental in
that because my dad had my parents had a
terrible record collection. They had
very they had like a couple John
Denvers, a couple Barbara Stysandans,
right?
>> But then my dad also had
>> David saying what's wrong with that?
Yeah, you sound great to me.
>> Not much.
I love your parents.
>> When can I come over? David, settle
down.
>> But my dad had uh uh Bob New Hart
Records as well. And so he had he was my
my introduction to comedy. So I would
listen to his records all the time. He
had Cosby records, too. Uh you could say
that like but those were also like huge
a huge influence on me. Yeah. And then
my dad also had this rule like we had
this really strict bedtime, but if we
had HBO when I was growing up and if
there was a funny movie on at like 9:00,
he would let me stay up to watch watch
it with him. So I'd watch a lot of
comedies with my dad.
>> Everything you're saying resonates
completely with me because my parents
had nothing to do with show business.
I'm growing up just outside Boston.
I you know show business is this thing
that exists on Jupiter and it's done by
aliens and uh but my father was very
interested in comedy um you he was a you
know infectious disease scientist doctor
and uh he um but he loved comedy he
loved new heart we had those records he
they also had a terrible record I mean
like no records uh but he loved comedy
and When a movie like Mad Mad Mad Mad
Mad Mad World would come on
>> Oh, yeah.
>> Uh once a year, it would start We We
weren't allowed to watch TV at night if
