It really shows how comfortable John, and people in general, feel around Conan to be comfortable sharing stuff like this.
Mayer gets it. Never scared of poking fun of himself. Also, Conan is never mean spirited.
Mayer is a great guest. One of the few that participates actively and is completely comfortable with them. Pretty ballsy bringing up such a subject to an original SNL writer but it was a great conversation getter. Great episode.
Conan was not part of the original snl.
@@r3d5ive87 exactly. He was late 80s.
There we go. Well done. He was still close. They started in the mid-late 70's.@@jkap34
He was not a great guest, and is totally self absorbed. He calls himself an emotional giver which he states is very rare. He's a pompous ass who didn't create a single laugh
I feel like he's been funny and interesting and charismatic in every interview i've seen him in. Interesting guy. He was fantastic when he was on the podcast, Harmontown.
How did nobody say "Ass Wednesday"?
I for sure thought it would be Gourley
I know Conan doesn't like puns, but surely there is an exception for this. It's too good.
How did they say it’s in E, when clearly it should be *in A*.
I listened to the full audio podcast, and it is one of the funniest, most entertaining episodes I’ve heard. Conan and John have a great chemistry.
Same 💯 agree with you
Bill Hader told a story of meeting Michael Bay at the Playboy Mansion years ago. Pretended he didn’t know who he was after Bay made a snide comment about SNL
Micheal Bay definitely is not a nice person
@@onlyiforgive5083except by his own account, Michael was very nice.
@@onlyiforgive5083of course he's not a good person, he keeps blowing things up all the time
Did you know John Mayer was inspired to make music after he listened to the slipnuts
Huh. I thought he was inspired by the youthful antics of Stacey Richter.
🤣🤣🤣
I thought he was inspired by Clay Cook who wrote most of his early hits.
hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha 😭
makes sense, the slipnuts are legends. did you know they even opened for slipknot once
This clip is such a wonderful microcosm of everything Conan's show has to offer - deep, meaningful conversations with chaotic hilarity strewn about.
John Mayer laughs like Ray Liotta in Goodfellas. Not a criticism; this was a fun interview.
You're right!
Conan really is a funny guy!
@@rjmarifunny how?
Yeah, there was something that looked familiar. I just couldn’t figure out what it was.
Omg! That’s who he reminded me of!
11:45 when John starts diving deeper into the Sharing of energy vs the Guarding of energy, oh man did I connect and vibe with that 100000%
The ones who spread positive vibes vs. the ones who are draining your energy.
Sona vs. (Screen-) Jordan?
i didn't, maybe because i'm very cool
Yes that
Except the part where he said he was a sharer and not many people are so hes rare. He's a narcissistic douchebag
yep and I don't antagonise people who guard because I always attempt to nourish but if my social battery is drained I might come off as forced and insincere or not genuine and unlikeable sometimes too. I think the difference is if the intention to nourish and be polite and open is there even if you feel introverted and fed up with the world, it's good enough because as much of a nihilistic, cynical, despondent teenager I can be, I never intend to mistreat or hurt anybody, I always go out of my way to at least appear respectful. I feel like these are just values that must be instilled in you growing up as a child or in your early 20s when you amp up your social interactions. It sort of goes both ways here, John openly discusses and is self aware of how he is yapping so much that Conan requests to say something on his own podcast, and I assume that he does the same to some SNL alums that might throw them off so I hope he isn't bitter or resentful that people can have a more shielded, defensive or reserved personality.
I gotta agree with John on this. I think he's being candid and comedians in general can be a depressed and antisocial lot. Many have said that doing standup requires a certain level of self-hatred. When I shared a house in Hollywood near UCB we had one house party where Horatio Sans stood awkwardly on the front lawn and refused to enter the house with his friends because he said there were ghosts inside. My impression was he was doing it to get attention, but idk, maybe he was on something. I never found out because I didn't feel like standing on the lawn all night.
Damn therapy session for John Mayer on these past videos lol 😅
as John has stated himself. He's an introverted sensitive extrovert 😅
I can't wait for the rest of the clips to drop!
theres a whole podcast thats out now
@@PeterZeeke shush. You're ruining it for him
I want to be able to watch video of the entire podcast episode. That would be great
Loving the vulnerability of this discussion! This is a shared human experience.
I gotta say, with no disrespect, saying that ‘defenders’ aren’t concerned about it… is not always true.
I am a defender and it’s not something I choose, or like. It’s mostly from trauma, and I always feel bad after I talk to most people because all I want in the world is to give.
I recognize I’m a downer. I just can’t tell when I’m doing it. I hate it.
This 100%
Yeah I can come off as introverted sometimes so I would never antagonise "defensive" people they're not takers they just don't have the energy in going out of their way to put you on a pedestal, and they shouldn't have to, especially if you're effectively a stranger.
It’s probably really hard to not let success like that go straight to your ego. I’ve even experienced that on a minuscule level and it shifts your view from serving joy to people to taking joy from people for your ego
Very true
That's true, but most SNL cast members do not have great careers after they leave the show.
Many do, but not most
good point @@thedude4672
There's defender and giver, but there's a third category - takers. I feel like defenders don't drain your energy if you just don't need their approval or validation, but takers basically demand it from you or they'll make you feel bad - much more draining than defenders.
Yeah I don't really antagonise defenders because a lot of them just could be reserved introverted everyman type people struggling to keep up with the crazy antics of a rockstar - as much I love Mayer he shouldn't be surprised his personality is difficult for people who aren't fans of his music who can gauge his earnestness, especially when his career in like 2008-13 was filled with the kind of scandals, controversies and egotistical behaviour that SNL performers make a living mocking or impersonating caricatures of.
I wanted to scream through my Spotify when I listened to this portion of the podcast to John Mayer to let him know why those SNL people were like that to him.
It is not because Conan was being protective of those SNL people and being deceptive to John Mayer in his answer. It is because he does not know everything and can only answer from his perspective and experience.
Conan is of an older generation of improv artists that don't share the same values as this new breed; and is unaware of the new malicious changes that have crept up in the Inprov communities over the decades.
I am in trained in Inprov and have performed improv. And for the last 20 years there have been these rich kids that come in that have elitist attitudes, and learn "yes and" when it comes to performing, but they don't apply it to people they perform with. It is more of the attitude of "no but".
These people are competitive; cliquey, and lack compassion and lack empathy for other people beyond their own rich kid cliques.
They have infiltrated and taken over the Improv communities; and have gotten onto SNL --- which is why SNL it is become increasingly regressively unfunny over time.
Even though Conan went to Harvard and comes from privilege -- he and his generation are the opposite of these people. Improv and comedy for him was never about competition and his own fame --- unlike these brats. Improv and comedy were always about bringing each other up, creating a sense of community, and making people laugh.
I am sorry that John Mayer had those unpleasant experiences, but it is not surprising given the current state of improv.
THANK YOU!! People need to start talking about this!
Two of my favorites together. This was such a treat. Thank you!
John Mayor has strong lil bro energy, I would have to tease him too irrespective of my feelings about his work
Normalizing talking about mental health and emotions is a very healthy thing. Good for you John and Conan for talking about it and sharing your experiences!
I feel nourished after watching this!
For some people self reflection could be the key to happiness.
I would say for most people.
Like Socrates said, the unexamined life is not worth living
He seems like a likable dude. I dont remember much, but he guest hosted an episode of TMZ a while back and was pretty funny.
I will never watch Wheel of Fortune the same way again 😂
Alright, I will say it. I think the type of people Conan is hinting towards (Comedians little bit older than him) are Bill Maher and Jerry Seinfeld, their condescension and smugness isn't really hidden from the world.
oh you might be right
11:20…..there’s your lyric right there, lol.😂🤣❤
There have been times when I have been around comedians whose names you would know, and it can be a very weird experience. Some of them do not know how to "turn off" and you will just be stuck in a bit with them. The irony is impossible to penetrate, and you can leave feeling like something very weird just happened. Sounds like what John is talking about. I have also had experiences where comedians know how to be normal people when they're not performing.
Conan needs to be a late show host again. I really him in that setting 😢
I would have laughed IMMEDIATELY after John asked that question cause I couldn't tell if he was being funny or not. Good save by Conan.
Every time I watch a john mayer interview I learn a new word
we need a Tom Hanks school of etiquette
Every Tom Hanks movie is a lesson in the Tom Hanks School of Etiquette
But why is his son Chet Hanks so messed up? Perhaps jealous that his Father is so kind to everyone & just wanted it all to himself? His older 1/2 siblings & younger brother all seem to be normal, functional adults.
huh?@@Kitty8791
Just put the entire episode up on UA-cam. You can advertise the hell out of it, just give the fans what they want.
"Ass Wednesday" - The new hit single by Conan (feat. John Mayer)
No doubt in my mind Conan was thinking about Chevy Chase as shitfinger jones.
The funny thing is, John Mayer is so much better at his thing than the SNL bunch are at theirs
I recall this vividly from when I was studying theater in college. Those types have likely been that way prior to SNL. And the industry doesn’t help. The industry thrives on the competitive system. And it really didn’t help my mental health.
They danced around the “Why SNL performers seem to diss John Mayer” question too much…when the answer is just none of the SNL performers probably like his music and are not that excited to meet him.
As much as that hurts that’s probably all it is. I’m sure you could think of a ton of huge musical artists that would not phase you an inch if you saw them at a restaurant.
I disagree
More like they are territorial and fight and claw for every inch, similar to John has to do in music. Also a jealousy factor if you're a one trick pony comedian and see a baby faced guitar assassin slaying poon. Why would they let him in? It would be damn near impossible to crossover
Exactly. He's just another dude at a party to them and this is how they are to their own and others, unless they need to walk on eggshells. A grown man claiming to have his wittle fee fees hurt, especially when hanging around comedians (which all of the greats are inherently angry and intentionally offensive, etc..), seems as though he needs mental help, or he's trying too hard to be relatable to the plebs.
I think everyone wants to be liked, celebrities most of all. Their careers are built on it. I can relate to what John said at work. I say hello and smile at coworkers from a certain dept but get the cold shoulder and I don’t know why. It’s like he said, you go “hmmm”. It’s just weird.
Great clip, makes me want to see the whole conversation.
I have the feeling being a giver or defender also depends on the day. Sometimes I feel guarded going into an interaction because of how my day(s) went before. During, I get the feeling I am too closed off and the interaction feels good, I actually want to be more open and giving. Sometimes, I can react in time, and sometimes it's too late and I regret.
Vice versa I feel it also happens to me the other way around where I am bummed out that someone did not give back as much I wanted them to or how I wanted them to.
I never thought of it this way in terms of energy. I'm definitely a giver
There's a part of me that really hopes every SNL alum that meets John after this is completely over the top welcoming to him. Especially if he's on the show again. Just complete lavishly outpouring of niceness.
John, if you're reading this, even as a fan and an outsider, I can tell you've done a lot of inner work. Thank you for sharing sharing your music and humour with the world. ❤️
It's called jealousy, John Mayer. jealousy from lackluster performers
Very insightful and relatable!
I actually like this Miller commercial segment... I don't even jump through it like I always do on ads 😂
This hits a nerve for Sajak - or, as he was known in middle school, Old Sh!twheel.
SNL cast probably sees so many celebs that it's boring.
All I want now is Conan to go on Wheel Of Fortune.
A piece of corn falling off the wheel of fortune lol....Conan riffing at his best 👌
John is a really good guest. Super cool and smart.
John I think its because they see you trying it in the comedy world, with Chapelle or without and they are probably thinking: oh he thinks he can do it. It’s jealousy.
the rest of the episode is hilarious. listen to the whole thing. this part is the more serious part
Conan's Miller Lite commercial. 😂😂😂
Maybe it's they aren't good comedians and aren't nice people and John is an excellent musician and seemingly nice person.
I was merely nodding along and smiling from ear to ear this entire interview...Then I heard, "I saw a piece of corn fly off the wheel once," and I busted out in gut-wrenching laughter, alone in my apartment, like a damn psychopath.
A lot of comedians have said SNL is a toxic work environment. Very cut throat.
i mean, most SNL comedians are not funny to me, theyre tryhards. mayer has that effortless thing that allows spontaneous creativity, n my guess is they were intimidated by him cause hes a "better" smoother, more effortless more soulful whatever improviser than they are in the grand scheme
Please post the ballad of limpy next.
I hated John Mayer until I started listening to interviews with him and I like him now
What did you hate about him at the beginning? Did it stem from rumors?
He's one of the greatest technical blues musicians, ever.
Why? Knew he was OK all those years ago on Chappelle. Good dude
@@jjmacalit He was on the radio in high school and it felt like he was the guy girls were 'supposed to like' and I probably was a little jealous and just got the impression he wasn't a 'real musician'.
On top of that in college my musician friends really hated him due to rumors so I felt validated.
Almost nothing at all to do with him, his music, etc. Just the image and my insecurities from being young
@@sofatimeTV I didn't realize, always brushed him off.until I saw a behind the scenes video about 'New Light' where he passionately talked about making it and a story about princes guitar. I could tell he knew what he was talking about and it spurred me to take his music more seriously and relisten
Coincidentally…. I saw a lady in the metro eating corn on the cob yesterday. 😮
Perhaps it is a very competitive environment where the members may seem cold towards others.
He laughs like Ray Liotta
Simply put, some people are fountains and others are drains.
Damn! Seeing these two riff is bringing me that feeling Tom Hanks brings people.
Also, at the end talking about giving energy was something. What a great talk!
John ask great questions! He should have a podcast and have me on! We can sing Gravity together all night!
To John’s point, I began as a nourisher, giving energy away, but I noticed that no one gave back… Which transformed me into being stingy.
But wanting to give to an experience, that’s so beautiful. And I think that takes more work and is more loving than just defending yourself
This so perfectly articulated of being made to feel small!
Hasn't it been said that a lot of comedians attribute their humor to some great struggle or trauma in their life? And if it's true that "hurt people, hurt people", then you may have your answer to why comedians can be hurtful.
I love this conversation. I know exactly what they mean and have had that feeling many times. I just hope I’m a giver and if so I hope I continue to be. That’s all any of us can do.😊
Sajak exposed! His quick retirement makes so much sense now.
Sounds like they got shut out of the VERY limited, VERY cool run Silver Sky finishes PRS released around the beginning of the year for a couple years, John. ESPECIALLY that Nebula finish. If I were on SNL, that’s how I’D feel.
>:(
As someone who I guess lives under a rock, the only things I’ve seen from John Mayer are his new years segment at the cat cafe and now him on Conan’s podcast. I have to say I kind of love him lol
wtf you tube premium was ad free 😂😂
It'll be extra tough now getting Pat Sajak on the podcast.
If you listen to Rogan's podcast, everybody who worked on SNL complained about working there.
Team Coco: Some of us pay to not have ads so when you plug ads in short videos, it makes us very unhappy.
You can easily skip it
I just ignore everybody.
Musicians are used to jamming with each other when they get together. They like to flow together. Clearly, comedians don't naturally operate in the same manner.
Half baked.
I love the way John continues making eye contact with Sona and acknowledging her 7:05
Shots fired!
This is perfect
John mayer is a legend
that miller lite plug is really giving "man grate" energy from the Norm podcast, lol
Tom Hanks makes you feel recognized.
What are the other two people for?
the ads in the middle are so goddamn frustrating !!! Put em at the beginning or the end ffs
The entire clip was outstanding but let's be honest, #ShitfingerJones will live in our hearts forever .
very good
Comedians are jealous and John is funny so they probably got intimidated by some combo of his looks, musicianship, and sense of humor
John, I know you enough to suspect you read these comments. I appreciate your curiosity in asking this question and I believe it is genuine. I also think I know the answer. People in SNL tend to know news and rumors. You have a reputation and rumors that precede you. I think many people who are aware of the rumors approach you with suspicion and are going to start off very guarded. That means they will start off seeming cold. You are welcome.
You think you know him. 🤣🤣
Learn to read a simple sentence better, it's really not that hard. The OP's opening statement that they 'know' John reads comments is because they know John has said that he does which suggests that, yes, the OP does know John in this specific regard. As you can clearly see, there is a full stop/period after the short statement indicating the statement refers to all the words within this short sentence. This is basic English language 101. No where does the OP say they know him personally but they are stating that that they know he reads comments which is factually true considering I've listened to a few of John's old IG 'show' "Current Mood" and yes, he has admitted reading online comments. Your ineptitude at understanding basic English is showing. The jokes on you. @@thedude4672
@@thedude4672 i know, it is goofy. Its the internet and I'm being stupid. Its ok. the internet is a place where its ok to be stupid as long as you aren't spreading life-altering misinformation.
@@HitchcockTheSnail thank you for the thoughtful defense. I don't deserve you!
I would imagine, an important thing when interacting with comedians (and snl people) is to not take yourself or them too seriously. Comedians love to go in on each other super hard (roasts, for example). And their favorite people tend to be the ones who can just take it and roll with it. Or give it back. If you can find their aloofness amusing, instead of insulting, I think you’d feel a lot better about them.
nah
I disagree, because so many comedians seem to take themselves overly seriously.
Lots of douche bag pretentious comedians. More than light hearted funny comedians, by far
Wonder what comedians Conan’s talking about..my vote is Dennis Leary
I always knew wheel a fortune was a wheel of fortune…
Oh no, what has Gilly said now
Tom Hanks being brought up after I saw the memes of him in the Eipstein list and his post in IG about children just made me laught so much
I want names. I'm just going to start guessing..... Tina Fey? Fred Armisen? and we all know they're talking about Seth Meyers
It's Bill hader
My money rn, is on Meyers, Armisen, Mulaney, Poehler, maybe Fallon, Colin Quinn, Norm MacDonald (if they met before his passing), Chris Rock, Dana Carvey, Kevin Nealon, Sarah Silverman, Janeane Garofalo, or Al Franken; the kinds of comics and performers who are quick witted, and could be cutting with their humor if they wanted or needed to or especially reflexively, and you maybe would or wouldn't know it either because you'd dismiss it because they're so sweet and charming, or are known for being edgy. I said maybe Fallon, because he's the kinda guy who'd be your BFF to you on camera, but depending on what he's got going on, could just as easily ghost you, or laugh you off and walk away off camera (not to mention anything from the Rolling Stone article about his Tonight Show staff).
@@BoyAditya this just makes me appreciate Barry more, because this is the sorta thing that would pop up on Barry
I feel like fallon and seth meyers are clowns in real life and personable
Jimmy Fallon made fun of him specifically. He made fun of his singing style. It was pretty nasty, but also funny.
Conan did not want to day anything negative about SNL lol.. dude was trying to get that out of Conan for his weak purposes.. like breh toughen up.. not everyone has to like u, don't drag Conan into it.
For his weak purposes? 😂 someoenes life experience? Trying to get another opinion to invalidate that life experience? Grow up 🤣
Not Conan getting Rafiki’d 😮💨
it's probably "he's the tall musican guy" ..
SNL used to hurt my feelings when they made fun of people i dont even like. It was rough in the early 2000s
Wait what?
@@jamigoddess IDK lady.... It's hard to explain... I'm don't watch SNL. Sometimes things just get too anxious. It's not easy to lovingly make fun of ppl.
