Alex Edelman: 我对成为康南·奥布莱恩的朋友感到不安。我的单人喜剧表演《Just For Us》讲述了我参加白人民族主义者会议的经历，我试图在表演中展现同理心，而不是一味地谴责。我与已故的导演Adam Brace合作密切，他的离世对我打击很大，也影响了我的创作。我正在创作新的单人喜剧，主题是关于以色列和巴勒斯坦的。在演出结束后，我愿意与观众交谈，因为我认为在当今社会，我们需要进行更少的充满敌意的对话，并尝试与持有不同观点的人进行沟通。 Conan O'Brien: 我很欣赏亚历克斯·埃德尔曼的喜剧特辑《Just For Us》，他以富有同理心的方式处理了敏感的政治话题。我们来自同一个麻省布鲁克林小镇，分享了共同的成长经历。我赞扬他在舞台上的活力和表演技巧，并认为他的喜剧风格具有持久性。我们还讨论了喜剧的传承、与前辈喜剧演员的联系，以及在创作过程中与合作者的合作的重要性。
