Conan O’Brien recently had actress Natasha Lyonne as his guest on his talk show, and it was a conversation filled with laughter and admiration. Conan couldn’t contain his excitement about having Natasha on the show, as she always brings something unique and original to the table.
During the interview, Conan praised Natasha for being a “singularity” in her own right. He described her as unlike anyone else he has ever spoken to, complimenting her for being an original speaker who knows how to captivate an audience.
Natasha, being her witty and humorous self, responded by sharing a fascinating tidbit about her past. She jokingly claimed to have been President Obama’s speechwriter for his speeches about the Affordable Care Act, revealing that she was the mastermind behind some of his most memorable lines.
Conan was pleasantly surprised by this revelation, expressing his gratitude for Natasha bringing it up. He emphasized that many people only see him as a talk show host, unaware of his contribution as a talented speechwriter.
As the conversation took an interesting turn, Conan compared Natasha to a black hole, stating that she seemed to have fallen through one and come from another time. Natasha playfully called herself a “ragamuffin” and appreciated Conan’s label of her as a “singularity.”
Both Conan and Natasha then discussed the concept of singularity, with Conan referencing Ray Kurzweil, a scientist known for his ideas about the singularity. They humorously touched on the notion that people used to think Kurzweil was a “wackadoodle,” but realized that he had more depth to his theories.
Natasha further added that she views herself as the final merging of technology and humanity, thus reinforcing Conan’s earlier description of her as a “singularity.” The conversation took a winding and entertaining route, with Conan commending Natasha for her ability to take the audience on a roller coaster ride of emotions with her speeches.
Amidst their banter, Conan and Natasha shared a humorous moment, reminiscing about a roller coaster at Coney Island made of old pine. They also playfully discussed their preferences for modernity over vintage, whether in roller coasters or eye operations.
Conan’s self-confessed slightly anxious demeanor sparked a discussion about existential thoughts. He admitted to pondering his mortality and the brevity of life, making Natasha laugh with his musings.
The conversation ended on a light note, with Conan jokingly remarking that they had just completed the shortest podcast ever. It was a joyous and entertaining episode, showcasing the undeniable chemistry between Conan O’Brien and Natasha Lyonne.
Fans of the talk show host and the talented actress were surely left with smiles on their faces after witnessing their lively exchange. Conan O’Brien once again proved why his show, Conan O’Brien Needs A Friend, continues to be a favorite among talk show enthusiasts.
