John Mulaney & Conan's Lorne Michaels Impressions - CONAN on TBS

on this subject of starting out live I have to ask you anytime I get together with friends of mine who worked in CERN out live Bill hader's another good example we always inevitably fall into doing our Lorne impressions and I will say they are done with great love Lorne Michaels they're they're done with a lot of affection what I love in effect love and affection but Bill Hader the last time he was on the show he started doing a Lorne impression and it's lauren name-dropping serial killers rub suits rubs his eyes and I was curious do you do a Loren impression I don't know if you do do you do one I do one in the way that everybody one phrase you use and then yeah just eye and then name-dropping people of course not serial killers but don't put me on the spot I don't want notice people often have one phrase that he says that that's what they go with like Oh mine is I know I know I know yeah that's one of them bill will also do right right right right right right right mine is he would say to me you're the greatest Irish American writer we've ever had [Laughter] he was looking at me it was strange when you say it after poet nothing he'd look at me and I meant a lot but he go he said you know by a mile you'd be great [Applause] yeah really specific yeah and I didn't even do the voice just cuz it meant so much when you hosted was it weird to have been a writer and yes remember that being very very strange and I still have all the strange things that have happened to me I find that to be maybe the most miraculous yeah that having worked there as a writer and being so nervous and being so worried that I might not do a good job if you would ever told me then that you'll be back in ten years and you'll be hosting it I think I would have had you committed I'm saying I really and to this day that's one of those things that and a lot of nice things have happened for me but that I think maybe beats everything yeah it really meant a lot to me there's also this when you're a writer you're working you know from Monday to when the show starts non-stop but you don't have to go on TV so you can look like garbage you know you can really be emaciated and sleep-deprived and stuff right so the idea of working all week and then having to go out there and talk it was terrible it was like I was like a busboy and I'm like I'm a good busboy but then they made me the maitre d just keep trying to refill waters yeah
