(crowd cheering and clapping)
How you doing?
I'm great, how are you?
I'm doing very well.
Thanks for being here.
Thank you so much for having me
The show, The Office.
I really believe,
one of the funniest shows in television in a long time.
Thank you very much Very funny
Congratulations.
As is Tonight with Conan O'Brien.
Oh I guess we agree.
(crowd applauds)
Truce.
We did it.
The rivalry is over.
How is, now, this..
You're a Massachusetts guy like myself.
Yep.
We actually grew up very close to each other.
Yes.
Brooklyn, Newton.
I'm Brooklyn, you're Newton.
What is your family's reaction been, to your success?
Cause this is, this is big, this is exciting.
Yes they're overwhelmed.
They're thrilled.
They have a Google news alert,
every time The Office is mentioned,
which now is a lot.
[Conan] Yeah
Probably takes up most of their time.
[Conan] Yeah.
They, my mom actually told me,
she said "Have you been to a Lakers/ Celtics game?"
And I said, yeah, because the game had just happened.
She said your picture's in the paper.
You're right with Jim Carrey and Diane Cannon.
And I did have amazing tickets to that game.
[Conan] Yeah.
So she saved me the picture.
I was very excited.
Cause that's like the coolest thing I think,
you can do as a celebrity.
That's how you picture yourself.
Like, you know, front row, of the Lakers game
when the game starts.
[Conan] Yeah, sure
So she saved the picture for me
and showed it to me when I came home and I brought it.
[Conan] This is real.
This is a real picture from the Boston Globe.
(crowd laughs)
That is me behind Jim Carrey.
(crowd laughs and cheers)
That is my ear.
(crowd applauds)
I told her that I might go to this game, but she saw it.
And she called it.
She recognized you from like, that part of your head.
Someday, the whole world will know this.
But right now, it's just my mom scouring,
every page of the paper.
That is really impressive.
That's great.
Very, very impressive.
I got to work on the set of The Office
for just a little bit.
I remember for Emmy's right?
For shooting an Emmy's thing.
And I had a lot of fun.
And I was thinking to myself afterwards,
I bet you that's always a fun set.
You've got so many funny people
working on that show.
Who makes you laugh the hardest?
Anybody on The Office set.
Pete, the craft service guy.
(crowd laughs)
He makes me laugh the hardest.
The guy that serves up the food?
The guy serves the food.
There's a 65 year old man named Pete,
a Greek guy, very virile, strong guy.
I hope I'm like him at 65.
And he gives you all the food,
explaining how sexually virile it will make you.
(crowd laughs)
Does he really do that?
He'd be like,
"B.J this is the beef teriyaki.
You know what I do with this one?
When I'm a shepherd in Greece, I'd take this
and go home with two or three women from the field.
Just all night long."
(crowd laughs)
"You a big star, you can get four or five women.
Trust me next day, sprinkle some paprika on a..
on a hard boiled egg.
You know what that'll do for you?
You know what a pride bison is B.J?"
(crowd laughs)
Just, that's how he pitches all this.
(Conan and crowd laugh)
You usually lose your appetite but it energizes you.
That would work for some food like beefy, meaty food,
but like yogurt, I wouldn't buy it.
"This is a smoothie with Splenda BJ.
You don't know what this would do to you."
(Conan and crowd laugh)
You had Splenda in Greece?
[Conan] It's this skim milk. Yeah!
Yeah. So enthusiastic.
It is, Easter?
Just coming up?
It's almost Easter.
Is this.. Do you have any Easter plans?
You're excited about Easter?
I'm going to stock up on Easter candy before it goes away.
I love Easter candy.
[Conan] Really?
I think you'd agree that's the best candy.
The mini eggs and the..
Yeah.
When you think about it,
I'm not as much into Christmas candy.
Yeah. Easter candy I think.
Yeah.
That would be Easter candy.
I know you mentioned marshmallow peeps before
which are good.
I am going to..
Here's the thing about Cadbury eggs.
(crowd applauds)
What was that?
(crowd cheering)
All right here's..
It's a weird slow groundswell for marshmallow peeps.
(crowd laughs)
Come to think of it.
What are those?
Yes. Yeah.
(crowd laughs)
My favorite Cadbury eggs.
And this is what happened to me this year..
[Conan] Cadbury eggs are good!
Yeah. Well, where were you a second ago
when I brought up Easter candy?
(crowd cheering)
What were you picturing?
Chocolate bunnies?
This is the thing!
I was thinking about Sweden.(chuckling)
(crowd applauds)
How can I explain this to them?
(laughing) We're both about 15 minutes behind.
Yeah.
Anyway.(crowd laughs)
Cadbury eggs.
I got to say those Cadbury eggs.
That seems like a good product.
There we go.
We'll pick it up from here.
(crowd laughing)
The Cadbury eggs, great product.
You think we have money to edit this?
(all laugh)
We're not doing anything with this segment.
What I'll do.
Especially on the day after Easter, when it's 100% off.
I'll buy it for the rest of the year.
Cause it seasonal candy obviously.
Sure.
Wait.
So after Easter you go and buy as much of it.
Cause it's cheap then that you can just hang on to it.
Exactly. And I'll put it in my freezer.
It'll carry me through the year.
If I feel like a Cadbury cream egg
and Pete the craft service guy, doesn't have it.
[Conan] Right.
Then I have some on my own.
I buy my Cadbury eggs this year.
They are, they feel smaller than they used to be.
And I asked my friends, okay.
A couple of people noticed that, right?
I asked my friends,
"Have they gotten smaller?"
And my friends said,
"No, you've just gotten bigger."
(crowd laughs)
Well, I buy them every year.
I don't think I got bigger last year.
[Conan] Yeah.
But I said, okay.
Then I went on the Cadbury site just to check.
Right on the main..
[Conan] The Cadbury website.
Cadbury website.
You go to the main Cadbury website.
It says on the front page it says,
"No, they have not gotten smaller, you've gotten bigger."
(crowd laughs)
So something is up
That's weird that there..
No one asked.
They're volunteering.
That's very strange.
That makes you a little suspicious
that they brought it up so easily.
Or they've heard so many complaints.
[Conan] Yes.
That's what I think
So I'm thinking, okay
I have stashed away Easter candy for years.
You know, for the course of the year, I must have somewhere.
I must have a Cadbury from previous year.
I looked through all the cabinets in my house.
I find a Cadbury cream egg
from a couple of years ago and I brought it.
(crowd applauds)
[Conan] This is one..
This is this year's cabaret egg.
Not the mini egg, not the mini cream egg.
This is this year's egg.
[Conan] Yes.
This is the egg from a couple of years ago.
(crowd woahs)
[Conan] Oh, wow!
(crowd woahs)
[Conan] Look at that!
Judge for yourself, America.
(crowd laughs)
England, Sweden.
(cheering continues)
You're right!
I thought maybe you were slightly holding one higher
than the other.
This is a level surface right here.
And look at that.
That is incredible.
[B.J] I'm not your magic act.
(all laugh)
If only you were.
These are Cadbury eggs.
What does Cadbury think they're pulling..?
I don't know.
I mean they know something.
They know that we were onto them.
[Conan] Yeah.
I bet they weren't expecting this.
(crowd laughs)
Thank you for backing me up.
(crowd applauds)
We better get an explanation from Cadbury.
Thank you.
Much bigger reaction than the peeps too.
You see, once you got on board everyone.
"Oh yeah."
Thank you for joining me.
Oh yeah.
Did a lot better than the peeps.
(crowd laughs)
You bastard.
(chuckling) Way low for me.
I got to mention this.
We're going to hear from Cadbury too.
I bet you now.
There's some Cadbury executive out there.
Are they.. Do they..What?
I think they are.
[Conan] Do they promote other Cadbury commercials
on this show?
I think so
Really? They buy advertising on this program.
(laughs)
(crowd applauds)
Well you can't edit it.
(crowd applauds)
Goodbye America.
(Conan laughing) Bye!
I follow Ice Cube.
(crowd cheering)
They got smaller for a reason.
There's a good reason for it.
We're being punished.
You're crazy.
(crowd laughs)
Totally screwed me.
My mom's going to google this debacle.
"New vaccine by Cadbury, did you know about this?"
Way no.
Cadbury, that's an excellent product.
And you leave them alone.
(crowd laughs)
Rain over me is in theaters now.
And a supersized episode of The Office
airs tomorrow night at eight o'clock on NBC.
(crowd cheering)
B.J Novak thank you for coming.
Thank you very much.
(crowd cheering)
Hope to see ya coming from the break.
Be right back!
