Molly Shannon‘s appearance on Conan O’Brien‘s talk show proved that she can strike up a conversation with literally anyone. The Saturday Night Live alum shared an amusing anecdote about her fearless social skills during her interview with the chat show host.

According to the transcript of the interview, O’Brien complimented Shannon on her ability to talk to anyone, to which she replied, “I’ll be walking around, I’ll see bumped into someone on the street and I’ll just start gabbing with them.” Shannon admitted that she occasionally strikes up conversations with strangers, especially if she likes their voice or finds them particularly relaxed.

She recounted a specific incident where a girl with a soothing voice and a gentle touch approached her, slightly intoxicated. Shannon felt so relaxed by the girl’s voice and gentle touch that she allowed her to keep talking to her. This, apparently, put Shannon in a state of ecstasy and made her feel incredibly good. O’Brien jokingly remarked that Shannon must have felt like she was in a state of Nirvana.

Amidst the laughter, Shannon continued to share an odd encounter she had when she was a struggling actress living in Hollywood. She became close to a homeless man who engaged her in deep conversations late at night. Shannon described him as sweet and philosophical, much like the character in a Saturday Night Live sketch. However, one night, the homeless man dropped a bombshell and said, “I have to tell you something in case you are ever interested in getting closer. Jiggles, I am hung like a horse.” The unexpected comment ended their friendship, leaving Shannon quite shocked and disappointed.

Reflecting on the conversation, Shannon joked that it suddenly turned the interaction into something sexual and dirty, instantly ruining their connection. O’Brien joined in the humor, suggesting that such a declaration would make for an interesting business card.
