Jordan Schlansky Reveals What He REALLY Thinks About Traveling With ‘Conan O’Brien Must Go’ Host
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.”
