Summary

Comedian and writer Carol Leifer feels fresh about being Conan O’Brien’s friend. Carol sits down with Conan to chat about her roots as a stand-up in the 70s, how her relative inexperience landed her a job writing on Seinfeld, opening for Frank Sinatra, and her new book How to Write a Funny Speech. Later, Matt Gourley gives much-needed insight into the health and habits of his family’s beloved cat Margaux the Fat Guy. For Conan videos, tour dates and more visit TeamCoco.com.
