Skyler Higley

And you're like, this is money.

I was fellowship writing at The Onion at the time.

Or no, no, there was packets that go out.

The way that the Conan show, I think, always sent out packets is different than most late night shows because you guys just went like, we want 10 ideas.

And you ask any follow-up questions, you're like, what do you mean ideas?

And they're just like 10 ideas.

And so I remember writing a packet,

And I put, you know, stupid little jokes in the packet.

I remember one of them, because they're just like different pitches.

And one of my pitches was just straight up like, Conan O'Brien does blackface.

And then I did a colon.

And then I just wrote, Conan O'Brien does blackface.

And it wasn't obviously a real pitch.

But I was like, well, people are going to remember that if I put that in there.

Just like, yeah, what if he did it?

And then somebody... Because, you know, you have to read like a bunch of these things.

It's a tactic to...

get people to be like, what the hell is, what's going on?

And then like actually read it.

Yeah, but if you put it in the middle of a bunch of funny ideas, like you like coming up with like, what's the worst thing I could say or do.
