    This is in the style of Conan’s recent interviews; just get a great guest and talk for 20-30 minutes. Literally the best.

    Newfie fact from a Newfie: Newfoundland isn’t actually a Maritime province. It’s an Atlantic Canadian province, along with the three other Maritime provinces (New Brunswick, PEI, Nova Scotia), but the other three are the only three that are actually “the Maritimes”. This may seem like a distinction without a difference but I assure you, Newfoundlanders all know this. (It has to do with us joining Confederation really late on, ie 1949.)

    3:33 so Will didn’t know about The Wings? Also, I know this is blasphemy but I legit like Lego Batman even more than Mask of The Phantasm.

    Always great when Stephen is caught off guard and laughs so hard, this has got to be the champion laugh till he cries time. Made me laugh out loud and that’s always a feel good moment.

    Great to see the Batman of the The Lego Movie, one of my favorite comedies. Will Ferrell reminded me of ‘He who never seems to be named here’. The main hero feels very relative right now.

    You hate the Maritimes so much you didn’t even mention Nova Scotia, the capital of the Canadian Maritime Empire?

    Will Arnett, in the USA hospitals are businesses and in business you have to set up close to your competition.

    You forgot to mention that he was the title character in one of the greatest TV shows: Bojack Horseman.

    The annoying part of all the hospitals being on the east side is THERE ARE NO DAMNED SUBWAYS! So you’re a new Yorker who needs to go to NYU or Columbia and you either have to walk, bus, or cab. So damned annoying. I had to go to NYU daily for like a month and usually walked with my cane from grand central to the hospital. It sucked.

    I thought Will was in a fancy bathroom stall with one audio-foam panel stuck to the side.

    Edit: for how ironic it was for me that they bring up fancy bathrooms at the end.

    It’s like they intentionally avoided Bojack in his intro and the interview. Must have been a CBS thing. These network wars really take the fun out of things.

    I am disapointed that you would introduce Will Arnett and not mention the best animated show ever — Bojack Horseman. Also, there is a shower bar, he is calling you from his shower!!

    He didn’t say nova scotia because he knew we’d revolt… or probably just forgot about us, in which case we apologize

    SO SMART. The setup for “he’s America’s sweetheart I’m Canada’s reject” was a few minutes BEFORE the punchline. I don’t think I’ve heard that anywhere before. Notwithstanding the fact that you have to hang around America’s sweethearts for that joke. So literally a decade worth of work if not more went into that joke.
