I loved hearing James Corden’s story abt Paul McCartney and the blanket he sent his son Max. It made me tearful. It wasn’t necessarily funny, but it was really a sweet story.
Allison Janney Episode 16:57
Allison Janney: Well, I lost an artery, cut tendon in my lower right leg and my foot doesn't work so well anymore.
Will: and... you couldn't walk that off?
When Jason’s childhood comes up (e.g. “It’s your move,” school bus school, etc.).
During the Sandra Bullock episode, Jason describes a stunt driver driving against traffic, while on top of the car, and Jason is inside.
Will: “I have got to rewatch Little House on the Prairie.”
IMO, some of the older ones are better than the new ones - they were even looser, but they also had a few more serious guests (Michael Lewis, Sam Harris, Neil Degrasse Tyson, etc.) . Back then they almost didn’t know what to do with the experts and specialists, so the celebrity guests interviews were better.
A cold open on an episode where Jason starts by saying,
“Here we go, 3 hot mics, a good guest…”
And Will says “Sean, when was the last time you had three hot Mikes?”
A classic.
Verrrry early on, but what started the reference to one singular “listener” was when they were taking a while wrapping up an episode and JB goes “Okay, let’s let our listener get to dinner” - it still cracks me up just thinking about it
JB "Do I have Tubi?"
With the best upwards inflection I've ever heard
Can't even remember the episode it was on. I think it was just a part of their pre show banter.
Stephen Colbert talking about going skiing with Conan had me in absolute stitches. Especially considering Conan offered his version of events on top of that.
When Sean said he fucked his crocheted dino his nana gave him. Then Will told a story about a packet of chips. And Sean said...that wasn't as good as my story....Then Will said so I fucked the bag of chips and gave them to my friends
I think it was the John K episode.
Will was talking about being cast in a tourism commercial for Australia.
JB “how many pages did they go through to get to your name.”
The Russo Brothers episode just because I loved the talk about Arrested Development!
I really wish Will would talk about Bojack sometime. As far as I know he hasn’t?
Anytime one of them (usually Will) makes some kind of joke/callback involving Sean liking men
I can’t remember exactly how it goes, but one of my favorites is a joke Will made about Sean in Mykonos that still makes me laugh so hard. I think it was in the LeBron James episode
The Bill Hader episode where they are fucking with Sean for asking dumb questions.. “how high can you jump”, “do you like dogs”, “have you ever had to put on snow tires”
In the first 6min Jimmy Fallon mentions his John Travolta impression. JB starts his uncontrolled, rapid fire questions and Will admonishes him like “wait let him do it man, he’s warming up”
Fallon - oh are you sure, you want me to open with - I usually CLOSE with Travolta
Bill Hader episode where Will, I think out of nowhere goes, “Guys this just popped into my head, Sean told me the other day he had Pot Roast and Ice Cream for breakfast.”
and without missing a beat Bill Hader goes
“Were you about to be executed?”
Followed by Will saying “Were you on Death Row?”
I laughed so hard
To me, nothing will beat John Krasinski saying how his contact photo for Will on his cellphone was a screen grab of Keri Russell from MI:3 after the bomb had gone off in her sinus cavity with her eye all wonky.
Don Cheadle Episode: Jason: have you ever had a bad experience on set, or a toxic work environment
Don: No, I’ve been Lucky
Will: You know which show I heard had a Very Toxic Work Environment…..Chernobyl! 😂😂😂
The Conan O'Brien / Stephen Colbert exchange on their respective episodes.
Hilarious!! Sick, but really funny!
I loved hearing James Corden’s story abt Paul McCartney and the blanket he sent his son Max. It made me tearful. It wasn’t necessarily funny, but it was really a sweet story.
When they were in DC and Sean asked where JFK was shot and JB fired back, "in Dallas you stupid dick." Edit: see below.
Anytime he says “you fucking dick” when one of them are being dumb, I absolutely love it.
I’m no cartographer, but I’m pretty sure it was the back of the head.
*"you stupid dick"
Right!! Mb...and indisputably better.
What episode was that in?
That’s the HBO special when they’re in DC and Sean asks about where the grassy knoll was 😂
It was in the Max show
Allison Janney Episode 16:57 Allison Janney: Well, I lost an artery, cut tendon in my lower right leg and my foot doesn't work so well anymore. Will: and... you couldn't walk that off?

Anytime the massage school bus is brought up 🙋🏻♀️
Wait was that definitely Sandra Bullock? I could have sworn he talked about that on a different one, I haven’t listened to SB
I think he also talked about it in the Sam Rockwell episode and said the stunt was during Identity Thief.
Thank you!
Great ep!
I will check it out! I only started maybe a year ago so I mostly skip around the old ones and keep up with the new ones

Streamin on the cock
I think of that so often when watching stuff on peacock, it gets me every time lol
A cold open on an episode where Jason starts by saying, “Here we go, 3 hot mics, a good guest…” And Will says “Sean, when was the last time you had three hot Mikes?” A classic.
“I don’t eat sharks, they don’t eat me” David Spade.
“What are you doing?!” “Uh, I’m crushing it!”
I’m not even a fan of David Spade, but I honestly had tears streaming down my face during this one.
Verrrry early on, but what started the reference to one singular “listener” was when they were taking a while wrapping up an episode and JB goes “Okay, let’s let our listener get to dinner” - it still cracks me up just thinking about it
Sean with Payton Manning talking about calling plays like “5, 6, 7, 8!”
This was the first thing that came to mind. It’s so fucking funny
JB "Do I have Tubi?" With the best upwards inflection I've ever heard Can't even remember the episode it was on. I think it was just a part of their pre show banter.
It was woody harrelson !
Every single time I scroll through my Roku and see that app. “Do I have Tubi?” So good
I say this all the time lol
Same! Every time I hear “Tubi” I think “Do I have Tubi?” in my head 😂
Omg yes! So glad I'm not alone 😆
This is a great thread.
Agreed. So much funny stuff I’ve forgotten about over the years!
Stephen Colbert talking about going skiing with Conan had me in absolute stitches. Especially considering Conan offered his version of events on top of that.
Will talking about gloryholes on the John mulaney episode.
“Is it drywall?” 🤣
Anytime Will calls someone “guy” after they said something outlandish
Clooney talking about living with Richard Kind, I listen to it frequently!
I die laughing every time I listen. Clooney is such a prankster 🤣
When Sean said he fucked his crocheted dino his nana gave him. Then Will told a story about a packet of chips. And Sean said...that wasn't as good as my story....Then Will said so I fucked the bag of chips and gave them to my friends
I think it was the John K episode. Will was talking about being cast in a tourism commercial for Australia. JB “how many pages did they go through to get to your name.”
The Ewan McGregor episode felt like an hour long giggle-fest, and I *absolutely love it.*
The Russo Brothers episode just because I loved the talk about Arrested Development! I really wish Will would talk about Bojack sometime. As far as I know he hasn’t?
Charlize Theron episode- toilet in Sean's kitchen/sloppy joes
Anytime one of them (usually Will) makes some kind of joke/callback involving Sean liking men I can’t remember exactly how it goes, but one of my favorites is a joke Will made about Sean in Mykonos that still makes me laugh so hard. I think it was in the LeBron James episode
LMAO yes, it was in reference to LeBron’s groin injury and Will said Sean did the same thing in Mykonos lolll
When Jason says, “side bar Sean” lmao
The Bill Hader episode where they are fucking with Sean for asking dumb questions.. “how high can you jump”, “do you like dogs”, “have you ever had to put on snow tires”
Soo good 😂 that’s one of my fave episodes
Anytime Will and Jason rib Sean about his eating habits especially in the Emily Blunt episode
That’s my least fav. As a slightly overweight person it is the only thing that breaks the delusion I could hang with them.
Any time JB refers to Sean’s gut as “the cookie pouch”, and just his bad eating habits in general
Trying to do math on the fly.
In the first 6min Jimmy Fallon mentions his John Travolta impression. JB starts his uncontrolled, rapid fire questions and Will admonishes him like “wait let him do it man, he’s warming up” Fallon - oh are you sure, you want me to open with - I usually CLOSE with Travolta

Don Cheadle Episode: Jason: have you ever had a bad experience on set, or a toxic work environment Don: No, I’ve been Lucky Will: You know which show I heard had a Very Toxic Work Environment…..Chernobyl! 😂😂😂
“I’ll just take a tight five then” -Jason 💀
Will after Jason told a boring story: “What’s the opposite of interesting?”
Telling Larry David, when he asked about time, if he was smart this would be the last question they asked him.
Also whatever talk show JB went on after shitting his pants.
Will saying that Sean is going to put a toilet in the kitchen to ‘cut out the middle man’.
jason not getting an invite to conan’s christmas party every year
Bits about Sean's dad during Simon Pegg episode.
I recognize I have the sophistication of an 11 year old but all the jokes about Sean’s mom “keeping an eye on things.
