Hi, my name is Jesse Eisenberg, and I feel... unconflicted, maybe for the first time in my life about something, but in this case about being Conan O'Brien's friend. That's so sweet. Yes.
Fall is here, hear the yell Back to school, ring the bell Brand new shoes, walkin' loose Climb the fence, books and pens I can tell that we are gonna be friends I can tell that we are gonna be friends.
Hey there, welcome to Conan O'Brien Needs a Friend. Sona is giggling away uncontrollably. I don't know what's happening. Sona Massessi, and I see, of course, Matt Gorley. Hi. The whole gang's here, and feeling the holiday vibe. Are you feeling it? Oh, I love Christmas. You do? I truly do. You're a Christmas guy? I am, yeah. What do you, I'm guessing, do you go all out with the traditional stuff? Do you have lots of stuff you put out, little holiday trinkets? I think so, yeah. What do you mean?
I think I'm afraid to admit it to you. I'm afraid of what you will tear into.
I am. I'm a sentimental old sap about Christmas. I really am. Yeah. Are you, Sona?
Yeah. I mean, you have.
First of all, I know you celebrate it a little later on.
No, no. We celebrate American Christmas, too. But we you know, we have a fake tree, which you guys got mad at me for when we were doing summer s'mores. Yeah. And then we like put a few things out. But we're not like the house people stop at when they're driving down the block and be like, oh, my God, look at this.
I don't want to be that house. You don't know the house that has. They have a thing now. I saw an ad where they project. You can put little projectors that project like candy canes, snowflakes and snowflakes and little Santas and reindeer. And they crisscross your entire house. And I think I would go insane. Yeah. If I was in my house and that was being projected and coming in through the window, I think I'd lose my mind.
I don't know.
No, and you step outside to go get the paper and these lasers are firing candy canes into your eyes. You get your paper in the nighttime? Yeah, I get it delivered at night. When I want it, when there's bad news, I want to hear it right away.
The guy, the little guy, the paper boy comes back at night just for your house?
I pay him a little extra to come by at night. It makes me feel, I don't want to read news in the morning. I want to read it at night. And it's the only way to get it through the newspaper, I'm told. Hi, I don't know much about the Internet. But anyway, I don't I don't that looks like way too much to have something projected on the house. But I have a brother who's a fully adult man. He goes all out on Christmas on the inside of his house. And I think that's really sweet. I love that. I'm all for people going for it. You know, it's funny every now and then someone gives me an ornament. I put it on the tree and then kind of forget about it. And then it just shows up because it all goes into a box and then it goes back on the tree the next year.
And a couple of years ago, Zach Braff was here and he gave me an ornament. It's him and Donald Faison hugging each other. And I remember just coming home and like, it was in my pocket. And I'm like, what's this? And the tree was up and I went, oh, okay. And I just put it on the tree. Like three years go by. And the other day I passed my tree. I'm like, what the fuck? Why is Zach Braff and Donald Faison hugging each other on my tree?
I want that ornament.
Is there any Conan ornaments? Did you ever make an ornament?
There was a, you know, it is actually a sentimental memory, but our first season, we premiered September 13th, 1993, when I was a 30-year-old kid, and the reviews were pretty much, this won't last. And There was a late night with Conan O'Brien Christmas ornament that someone made and gave to me. I remember to hang it on the tree in Christmas of 93 and kind of thinking, well, at least I got this. No, seriously. And then all these years later, I look at it and I'm like…
you show them little ornament.
It's this nice little feeling. I want to break that ornament. I know you do. I need to smash it.
