Why Would You Tweet That?

yay

Something to listen to!!! Yeah!!! Thank you, awesome people. ☺

Here's a funny thing: the new show "Conan" airs on CNBC-e in Turkey...and guess which network that channel belongs to? See for yourself... http://www.cnbce.org/conan-obrien-geri-d...

I can't be sure without asking her, but I think she probably writes in her office.

Does Laurie write in the kitchen?

Ha ha. Awesome!!

Hey! She was the only good female finalist on Last Comic Standing!

I forgot about the Coco Pod today. Thanks for the delightful reminder!

Love it! I was actually lucky enough to meet Laurie while in LA and she couldn't have been nicer. Thanks for giving us this chance to get to know her a little more! :)

Better than Pandora!

Hahaha Luarie should have just called Christian, Dancing Taco.

I love that Josh Comers is the Debbie Downer of the staff. His tweets of self-hatred always make me laugh...at him! :D

CAN WE GET PREVIOUS LAKE NIGHT PODCASTS THAT i HAVE NEVER HEAR/HEARD OF BEFORE!!!??

Oops clicked to post a comment while listening to it and it stopped playing so I am going to start it over and listen again. It was very funny for the 1st half ill let you know how the rest of it went. LoL

Vote 1-10 for a "CONAN PODCAST" on the Weekends! 10

May I request that you interview Brian McCann and Brian Stack together for next week's podcast? or Jordan Schlansky, please?

so who won the 2nd car?

Thanks, Bley! We love you!

I would like to say... There are some cool sound effects..

I have done a DAILY podcast since May 2005... Coming up on 6 years!!

The extra step to get the show in my iPod is worth it, but I'll add it to my iTunes library once you guys get in.
Suggestion for a future ep: recall any funny stories of how you get ready for show #1, any surprises during the constructution of the new set, and what-not.

but... bley's not from norcal... so... you're just a dick, i'm assuming?

Haha thats funny because the first time i heard "hella" was from someone from NorCal about a year ago. I'm from Massachusetts and never heard until then and I was wondering where it came from.

Only lame NorCal people say "hella"

i didn't know people in LA said "hella"!
COOL!
thanks for the podcast, i am now hella happy!!

Weeee-oooo weee-ooooo it's the lightning round!

I have always loved the writing on Conan's show but I am thrilled to have a female writer at last. But please don't say "lady" writer. It kinda has that pedestal quality. Unless you say gentelmen for men - which is fine.
I also love that she is so clearly Irish. Always waiting for the other shoe to drop, not worthy, a fraud. An unfortunate characteristic we live with but it sure makes for good comedy. Thanks guys!

Loving your new Coco Podcast!

Can I just make a constructive criticism? Can you put some compression on the mics or the overall podcast? I like to listen when I am driving down the motorway and the voices are too quiet or blowing my speakers!

That said, pretty darn cool!

Laurie Kilmartin was my favorite comedian on Last Comic Standing. I was so bummed she didn't win, but so excited to hear that she's writing for Conan!!

Laurie
