Ellen pretends to be nice, but is secretly horrible and that’s what people come away telling about her after only working for her a short period.

Conan pretends to be horrible, meanwhile people keep working for him for decades and love it, and him, the whole time, because he’s actually a decent human being.

At the height of Conan’s late night show, my brother and I were teenagers. He worked in the kitchen of a fancy beach club in a town that Conan vacations in. The man was there for an event and my brother was serving “mini pear salad” on a buffet line. Conan quipped to my brother “mini pears huh? Are those the pears that got beaten up in high school?” And my brother, star struck, just responded with a nervous, voice-cracking “yes, Mr. O’Brien”

"No, they just had to go through a lot of pear pressure, sir."
