What’s the worst thing about working for Conan?
EVERYTHING! No, actually, its a pretty great job and I’m lucky to have it.
I will say that it can be difficult to try to write jokes every day. I always wrote a lot of stand-up, but never every day. So there are times at this job when I fell like I’m just cranking out a bunch of duds, but that’s part of what it makes it a challenge. Also, everyone there is nice so it’s a lot of fun. I got no complaints!

I ask this of all comedians, because they are funny. And I think being funny lends to this question: Jesse, are you a ticklish person? What are your spot(s)?
Why do you ask? Are planning to sneak up on me? I guess I’m just standard issue armpit ticklish. Good luck!
coulsonbabbu asked you:
has anyone ever asked you if anyone has ever asked you if you know your last name looks like “poop?”
Oddly enough, yes! And yes, I do know that it does.
Years ago, the host of a show introduced me as “Jason Poop.” And I occasionally get mail addressed to Mr. Poop as well.
But don’t worry, it doesn’t hurt my feelings!
Anonymous asked you:
Why is your album called “You Stink”?
Basically, I was up against the deadline to give Comedy Central a title and I just thought it sounded funny.
Also, it’s sort of an inside joke. A few years ago, I was goofing around and I texted a friend of mine “You Stink!” Then, something went haywire with my phone and it sent it to him literally about 600 times all throughout the night. I had no idea my phone was doing it until I got an angry/confused voicemail from him the next morning saying “Popp, what’s going on? Stop sending me You Stinks!” Even once I found out, I still couldn’t make my phone stop sending the text. I finally had to call tech support and have them reset my phone. Anyway, it was funny.
And it should be noted that that friend was a guy named Jay Bois, and he’s the one who photoshopped my face into the George Washington painting for the album cover.
You guys are getting a lot of behind the scenes scoops!
Anonymous asked you:
Who is your favorite comedian (alive or dead)?
Oh geez, I don’t know. There are many and I wouldn’t want to leave anyone out.
He’s not a comedian, but I will say that Steve Ballmer Going Crazy will never fail to make me laugh.
