Playing a nerd on Late Night with Conan O’Brien

Yesterday I was called in to tape a bit for Late Night with Conan O’Brien.

In 1935, when a photographer saw the Conan O’Brien constellation in the sky, he took a picture knowing one day…somehow, it would pay off.

I played one of four nerds at a fraternity cheering on a fellow brother. Everyone over at Conan was incredibly nice. I wore glasses, pushed my hair down then wardrobe dressed me up in a blue checkered button down shirt with a green vest. I didn’t take a picture of what I looked like so this picture will have to do.

Every autograph he gives comes stained with tears.

It was a pre-tape, so we shot in an apartment in Tudor City. The funniest part was the four of us dressed as nerds hanging out in a park outside of the shooting location. I could feel people staring at us. It would have been such a cool moment if we all broke out synthesizers and put on a concert for everyone.

Not everyone in the Gordon Fisherman family was into fish sticks.

If the bit doesn’t get cut, it will air sometime next week during Conan’s desk driving segment. I’m on camera for only three seconds so don’t sneeze.
