Conan O’Brien Needs A Friend
Jesse Eisenberg Returns

As soon as I saw that, I took the characters out of Mongolia and I set them on this Polish trip. But that was really the feeling. It's like you could drop these characters in anywhere, in any scene, and it will still be amusing.

I've been to the Rwandan Genocide Museum in Kigali and in Cambodia that, you know, killing fields. I'm fascinated with this kind of tourism. And yes, there's always the weird part of it. Like we have to get lunch on the way there.
