I’ll let the screen shot speak for itself.
This is me right now:
Click here (the link will expire in a week) to see Conan say my joke! It starts at 7:07 into the video. OH MY GOD I’M STILL SO SHOCKED.
Okay, so maybe I might freaking out JUST a little, but ROB KUTNER ”LIKED” ONE OF MY JOKES. OH MY GOD! ROB KUTNER, A JON STEWART/CONAN 5-TIME EMMY AWARD WINNING COMEDY WRITER. HE’S MY HERO, GUYS!
My life goal has officially been achieved. (YEAH, MY LIFE GOAL WAS TO HAVE A CONAN WRITER “LIKE” A JOKE I WROTE, WHAT OF IT?! Also my goal was to write a tumblr post primarily using text in ALL CAPS!)
Also pictured: The lovely preciousblueberries! (aka my favorite tumblr ever)
This is me right now:
Conan’s American Express ad was nominated for an Emmy!
If only more ads were like this. CONAN FOR ALL THE EMMYS!
Jeffrey Vega, Future CONAN Writer
One of my proudest achievements is becoming the 4th runner up out of 700 entires for the “SUBMIT A JOKE FOR CONAN TO TWEET” contest that happened right before the show started. You can read more about that on my very first post on tumblr here. In case you have a thing against clicking words that lead to other pages, below is the joke I wrote and submitted, as well as my response when I found out I was 4th in the list of honorable mentions that really made Conan O’Brien, Mike Sweeney, and Bley “really laugh!”
Ahhh. I am super proud of that one. That being said, I never thought I would see this…
OH MY GOSH. I MEAN… ANDRES DU BOUCHET! A CONAN WRITER. It feels like only recently that I wrote a blog post about how Andres tweeted a similar long-form joke that I did. HE PRETTY MUCH WROTE THE SAME JOKE I DID! Of course, the first thing that came to mind was, “Great minds think alike!” ;)
So naturally, I responded to Andres with my shock…
AND THEN, THIS HAPPENED:
RIP Jeffrey Vega.
Hahaha! But seriously! ISN’T THAT AWESOME?! I have the mindset of a CONAN writer, and I received a complement FROM a CONAN writer. Which is obviously fantastic, since CONAN will be my future workplace. And as I said mentioned earlier as a link, this isn’t the first time this has happened. MY CONFIDENCE IS THROUGH THE ROOF, EVERYBODY. :{D
P.S. I wonder if he knew “@nintendoboy” was ME, when we met back in June…?! Andres is on the far right! Also pictured: CONAN writer Todd Levin and my sister, Bridgett!
Watching some Late Night episodes. Good times.
I shook hands with Jordan Schlansky! He was in a hurry, but he was SO NICE. I love the constant gag that Conan absolutely hates him. SO. HILARIOUS.
This moment made me laugh so hard.
GOD THIS WAS SO FUNNY. (I still can’t believe I witnessed this live)
[Flash 9 is required to listen to audio.]
This post is literally over an entire minute of Conan mocking an Entertainment Tonight presenter for the way he delivers the phrase: “it looks good.”
I laughed SO HARD during this. I just love how committed Conan was to the joke.
