Checking in with Jordan Schlansky

 

Conan catches up with Jordan but we really only cover looks and appearance. Did I say 90%, I mean 100%.

Conan - Renovating Jordan Schlansky's Office

It's sad that Conan has devolved to the point that even a Jordan Schlansky segment feels false and forced. But there are still some highlights that make it worthwhile.

 

It's so contradictory how Jordan wants people to think that he's erudite, composed, an intellectual, that he has it all together and yet he keeps his office messy and piled high with garbage like a hoarder. What an enigma.

Late Night - Conan Visits Lucasfilm

Here is the link.

There is some debate out there about whether Jordan Schlansky is a real person. This is evidence that he is. This video is from before he was a regular on the show (or even known). And it's clear that you can't write this. I mean, you don't know the Darth Vader suit details ahead of time, research every detail and then give someone lines to say in regards to those details. You need an actual obsessive nerd to be able to react in real time.

I have no doubt that Jordan's developed a shtick and is playing things up for comedic effect these days but the essence of the Jordan Schlansky character is a real person.

Conan - Conan Replaces Himself

Sona is watching "Cheers" right now. I did the same thing not too long ago and watched every episode. I don't really have a point here.

Also, a while back Conan hired a professional organizer to clean up Jordan's office but it looks like it didn't take.

Conan - Jordan Schlansky Star Wars vs. Star Trek

Jordan Schlansky briefly explains the difference between Star Wars and Star Trek (and why Star Wars is superior).

Conan - Jordan Schlansky Product Review #3

Jordan Schlansky reviews the eFx Darth Vader replica mask. It's the most heated review to date.



There's a fun irony in what Conan says and I don't think it was intended. Conan jokes that someone on a Star Wars forum would be named "JubJub86". "Jub jub" is not a Star Wars term, it's just a nonsense sound that Conan likes to use for comedy. But because of this, because it's his word, he asked J.J. Abrams if he would work "jub jub"into the "Force Awakens" script. J.J. Abrams granted his request and so "JubJub" IS a Star Wars term and would be a forum name that someone would use.

Haha..."#2".

I don't understand how anyone can question Jordan Schlansky's work. The guy has various tasks and duties!

If I'm nitpicking, they already did the "shaving" bit, almost word-for-word.

Conan - Jordan Schlansky Gets Organized

Conan feels Jordan Schlansky's office is dangerously unorganized so he hires a professional organizer to help him get his act together.

Any time Conan visits Jordan Schlansky, it's just money in the comedy bank.

Conan - Jordan Schlansky is Late

Conan has discovered that Jordan Schlansky is coming into work late on Fridays and confronts him about it...


Why would they still work on Friday if there's no show? Either do a show 5 days a week for the audience or enjoy a 3 day weekend every week for yourself. This is a lose-lose.
