Discover the origins of characters like Crooner Ghost Artie Kendall, and meet people-who-should-be-characters like Jordan Schlansky. Plus find out why the second floor at Team Coco gets all the best snacks and who’s leaving dirty dishes in Andy Richter’s sink. Each week Mike and Jessie share the best and spill the dirt on everything Conan, because they’re pretty sure their boss isn’t going to listen anyway.

Hi, I'm Mike Sweeney. And I'm Jessie Gaskell. We're both writers and producers here at Conan. And every week we're going to take you behind the orange curtain to tell you what it's really like to work here on the show. You know, in many ways we have a very regular office life here. We do. And we're going to tell you about all our petty office dramas. Dirty dishes left in the sink.

People complaining about, oh, this isn't the right almond milk. Yeah, the only difference is it's because the almond milk belongs to Tom Hanks. So we're going to share that hot celebrity green room gossip and even play some highlights from the show this week. Not only the highlights, but we're going to tell you the salacious stories behind those highlights.

Because we never signed non-disclosure agreements, did we, Sweet? No, we didn't. In fact, I just found out we've been fired. Okay. Well, this was fun. Anyway, this is our podcast, Inside Conan. It's now called Cleaning Out Our Offices. I think Jesse and I bonded the normal way, together in Berlin in a sex dungeon while Conan was tied up in leather cuffs. Yeah.

With a dominatrix. And the lederhosen. A dominatrix who, it's as if the TV cameras weren't there. She was ready to go. She had no boundaries. No boundaries. And we had not established a safe word. Yeah, that was a slight oversight on our part. I was legitimately worried for Conan's orifices.

I was worried for him as well as for my job. Yeah. But we made it through. We did get through. And now we're off on a new adventure together. We're going to have unfettered access to some of the wacky characters that work here on the show, like Jordan Schlansky. We might even find out what he does for a living. That's one of our goals.

So your other outside interests are sitting. Working out. Thinking. Again, if you're classifying it physically, yes, I'm sitting. But I don't even notice I'm sitting. I'm thinking. We're also going to talk to executive producer Jeff Ross. Executive producer Jeff Ross.

He is usually unreachable, but we can cut through the bullshit. We can cut through the veil. It's the middle of the show, and we're in a commercial break. So I go out there, and I see Milton Berle. And he goes, kid, I want to do a walk-on I think he literally had a cigar in his mouth We'll talk to talent producers Who deal with all of our celebrity guests

Yeah, they have to wrangle all the Celebrity cats we have on the show Jennifer Aniston brought her own bodyguard And somehow this person came in She hasn't been hugged in 20 years She hasn't been hugged in 20 years And it was very foreign to her And she didn't like it at all. And we're going to be talking to Conan writers.

Yeah, they're still talking to us. Yes, barely. Yeah, we're also going to play for you our handpicked, artisanally chosen clips from the Conan show. Yes, a Conan highlight show that also features a cliche free look under the hood at the whole enchilada. Yeah, the inside scoop on how the late-night sausage gets made. Mmm, sausage. Mmm, I'm getting kind of hungry. Cliche hungry. Our first episode of Inside Conan, an important Hollywood podcast, launches March 1st.
