Kristen Wiig's Odd Jobs While Performing With The Groundlings | Conan O'Brien Needs A Friend

Never seen Conan so focused for so long. The Wiig Effect 💜

Did you know Kristen Wiig is a Certified Piano Tuner? She was one semester away from earning her bachelor degree in Applied Piano Performance from the Eastman School of Music when she quit and moved to L.A. to pursue a career in comedy. One of her odd jobs was tuning pianos (which in the 90s paid about $50 per piano).

“My paleontology club! Hello fellas” 😂😂😂

Wiigs! Girl you're the best in the business.

Who in this room has a crush on Kristen?? That’s the reason why he is talking so much 😂

Got a bit of a celebrity crush going on here

I learned what improv was from discovering whos line as a teen. Then in 2019 I gave actual improv a chance. Now I've been doing it 5 years incoming all thanks you conan. Since you were a inspiration. it helped me get out of my shyness shell growing up. Also love listening to the podcast.

Now I want Jennifer Garner on the podcast so they can talk about the epic "Sneak vs. Snuck" takedown from Late Night.

There totally was a magazine called Bop. There was also one called Sassy, which the SNL of Conan's era parodied with Phil Hartman playing the publisher.

ID SAYYYY a roundtable of conan, bill , fred, seth, adam, kristen, and jason

Love her ... Conan, for god's sake man please let her SPEAK ... 😆

I find her extremely attractive in both an unconventional and conventional way. Plus it helps she's so legitimately funny.

Thank you for doing this. This was a great interview 😺

Great episode. Kristen Wiig is so talented and seems so genuine. And I love those chairs.

I went to a Music, Arts, & Theater camp in a suburb of Cleveland, Ohio in the late 1960s. I was already making art,...and had attended other programs, during the school year, after going to my daytime school classes. It was a great camp for kids not into sports. I could have sampled the acting classes, but instead I focused on Arts & Crafts. We were provided top notch instruction, and access to more sophisticated arts materials. We did hot glass enamel, hammered copper & aluminum, clay slab building,...wood working, linoleum cut & wood cut printing. We visited museums, and practiced various drawing techniques. My friends who were already learning to play orchestral instruments, got more experience. I knew a few kids who were getting theatrical experience, and the whole class put on a play, for the rest of the kids. It was a blended age camp,....kids were in the 7th, 8th & 9th grades. I wish I had been encouraged to take the acting classes.

Beautiful.

Comedy goddess

If Kristen was in an SNL skit, it was going to be special. Like Hartman and Ferrell, always solid.

Nice 🧡

its awesome you can just skip the adds. Thank god. Thank Conan.
