Yeah. Producers basically just get shit done and make sure shit gets done.
I’d probably summarize too.
He and Conan both know it makes it way funnier when he’s vague.
I know a producer who produces basket ball games for broadcast. Like NBA games. It’s a running joke in our friend group that no one actually knows what he does because it’s so hard to explain.
Every time he says "overseeing" or "assessment" or "supervision" etc. is when he means somebody else does all this actual work for me and I just pass it along.
And that's when the Bobs ask "What would you say... you do here?"
And clearly Jordan doesn't have people skills. They'll fix the glitch in payroll.
It's also shitty when people who have money can pay to get a producer credit. That's such a slap in the face for those who actually do all the background stuff.
Yeah, honestly looking at it now makes so much sense.
I work for in the EV industry and most of the positions have titles that require like 10 minutes of explanation to vaguely understand what they do every day.
If I were him I would make Jordan get an assistant he could teach to do all those tasks. But pick an assistant who is just like conan and would just make fun of Jordan
It’s like that line in “Say Anything” with John Cusak where he’s like “I don’t want to sell anything, buy anything, or process anything as a career. I don't want to sell anything bought or processed, or buy anything sold or processed, or process anything sold, bought, or processed, or repair anything sold, bought, or processed.” Like the same words rearranged lol to make it sound worthwhile lol
The standards and practices part and his help with remotes was mentioned on "Inside Conan".
Apparently he saved the remote at the westminster dog show with triumph. He helped make fake passes and talked, lied to, and distracted security. They said it wouldn't have happened without Jordan. Also they mentioned how he'd work with standards to determine what needed to be censored and what was allowed to air.
When people talk like this, it usually means they don't really do that much, like "supervise."
"I cultivated a distinguished portfolio of environmental stewardship by engaging in the pursuit of extricating detritus from our delicate terrestrial milieu, employing deft dexterity and an acute discernment for the finer points of refuse reclamation"... aka, he picked up a piece of trash from the floor.
I think because it's a prepared thing. That's why Conan always catches him off guard in the bits because he wanted the audience to see how unique this man was
"the production and management of special projects, for example; DVD production and release."
O, so he's the guy that handles all those Conan O'Brien DVD releases...
“And of course, my most recently completed task has been the resolution of this inquiry.” No wonder the list is so long if he counts making this video part of his tasks 😭
I wonder if the length of this answer lines up with the *Conan* skit where Schlansky reveals his tasks on stage, but the show cuts away to something else.
I wish on that last episode where Jordan was going to say what he did but they cut away that instead he launched into something like this. I could imagine after 30 seconds or so Conan glazing over and then telling him to shut up and that he didnt care anyway.
Yeah. Producers basically just get shit done and make sure shit gets done. I’d probably summarize too. He and Conan both know it makes it way funnier when he’s vague.

Pretty much most jobs. Usually everybody else’s job seems easier, because you don’t really understand it.
Damn. He really did have various tasks and duties.
Every time he says "overseeing" or "assessment" or "supervision" etc. is when he means somebody else does all this actual work for me and I just pass it along. And that's when the Bobs ask "What would you say... you do here?" And clearly Jordan doesn't have people skills. They'll fix the glitch in payroll.

Agree!
Yeah, honestly looking at it now makes so much sense. I work for in the EV industry and most of the positions have titles that require like 10 minutes of explanation to vaguely understand what they do every day.
he could’ve just said „various tasks and duties” smh
I know right. He should have just said all of this from the beginning /s
Oversee and supervise, that's it!
This is the answer! So he doesn’t really do anything, others do the things and he just checks that it’s being done.
It's interesting to see how varied it really is.
He could just prepare his body in various ways.
This is the longest video I’ve ever watched to completion. Twice.
to completion 😏
Twice 😏😏
Fucking lists. Always. Fucking. Lists.
Ba dah ba dah ba dah ba dah, A freak show, freak show *clap* Freak show, freak show!
It’s creamy and it’s corny, it’s got cheese and chives, it’s an onion but it’s also a beet…
Now I know why he never answered it.
Conan needs to do a reaction video to this
If I were him I would make Jordan get an assistant he could teach to do all those tasks. But pick an assistant who is just like conan and would just make fun of Jordan
He's just reading a list of everything other people were hired to do.
“Various tasks”
This reminds me of a condescending explanation to Revan from HK-47.
Conan is a bit of a meatbag
They are all meatbags, sir
Came here for Jordan’s job details, stayed for the KOTOR reference, Meatbag.
Commentary: This is an excellent observation, meatbag.
I quit watching almost immediately. I need this mystery in my life.
After a minute in, it all just sounded like the same 15 words rearranged in every different order possible.
It’s like that line in “Say Anything” with John Cusak where he’s like “I don’t want to sell anything, buy anything, or process anything as a career. I don't want to sell anything bought or processed, or buy anything sold or processed, or process anything sold, bought, or processed, or repair anything sold, bought, or processed.” Like the same words rearranged lol to make it sound worthwhile lol
Lmaoo hahahaha
I quit watching because I was irritated with how he was talking.
He either tells you nothing or everything — love it
His cadence makes me want to hit him.
Now we know why he’s a man of few words
“OKAY but…. WHAT do YOU do?!!”
Is this an AI deepfake?
No way i saw shadow of his hands on his face. Also voice is too real
I was wondering the same thing
So basically, nothing.
This whole video is giving "writing a resume when I've only worked at Outback Steakhouse" energy

No need. I already know what he does. It varies.
[What would you say... ya do here?](https://youtu.be/m4OvQIGDg4I?t=50)

He used a list generated by ChatGPT and just reads it.
Why is he speaking like that? Couldn’t watch the video.
he sounds like he has emotion and that scared me
I think because it's a prepared thing. That's why Conan always catches him off guard in the bits because he wanted the audience to see how unique this man was
Go watch his cameo short with Conan. It’s how he does them… like he’s a murderer
Someone, please list EVERYTHING he said….
Is he growing out a handlebar mustache?
"the production and management of special projects, for example; DVD production and release." O, so he's the guy that handles all those Conan O'Brien DVD releases...
Finally one of the greatest mysteries ever solved. Also cant believe he went on for 4mins hahahaha
Why the fuck is he talking like that?
After all the various and numerous tasks he just listed, I still have no idea what he did
Those are just words. I still don't know what he does.
Absolutely glorious!!
All those responsibilities and he strolls in late at noon on a Friday.
Can we get someone to use his voice as the new TikTok voice? Pretty sure he used enough works to make that happen with an algorithm
“And of course, my most recently completed task has been the resolution of this inquiry.” No wonder the list is so long if he counts making this video part of his tasks 😭
Me when I’m writing my resume
I wonder if the length of this answer lines up with the *Conan* skit where Schlansky reveals his tasks on stage, but the show cuts away to something else.
[this is the original.](https://youtu.be/ERy5bWEvmHY?si=gs3uJ-A47eEYEO--)
he must have recently put together a resume ... for a new job :(
He schedules promotions with radio shack?!?! Now we know he’s full of shit.
"Preparing my body in various ways"
So he just watches other people work?
TL DR
I’m listening to a resume. WTF is wrong with me
I still think we can afford to let him go.
I'm confused. Why is Jordan an Associate Producer instead of a Producer if he has all these responsibilities
Ok so he basically looked up "what a producer does" on Google and is just reading off the list verbatim. Touche you fake Italian.
I wish on that last episode where Jordan was going to say what he did but they cut away that instead he launched into something like this. I could imagine after 30 seconds or so Conan glazing over and then telling him to shut up and that he didnt care anyway.
How did he say so much but still somehow tell us nothing
He sounds like an AI robot alien serial killer
I'm making a point of never watching this. so I can perpetuate the joke of him doing nothing.
Okay but what do you DO?!
Jordan is looking a little gaunt?
Punch’s-able face.
He sounds like the lock picking lawyer
If that’s all off the top of his head, then Conan’s right. Jordan’s an alien.
You taught him well, Conan! The Padawan rises!
He forgot pouring olive oil on a kaiser roll.
So, he basically does nothing then... /s But jfc the way he speaks is so irritating here.
Nerd!
After all these years, we finally know.
That is one long non-answer from one very crafty non-Italian!
I just heard Charlie browns teacher talking for four and a half minutes.
That all?
WHAT DOES THAT MEAN. WHAT DO YOU ACTUALLY DO JORDAN????
Funny you can see the shadow of his other hand gesturing as he talks even though it’s not on camera
Well that solves that. Now what are the various ways he prepares his body?
Dudes looking old and a bit sickly.
we get it you oversee other people who do all the work
Is this his shtick or is he really like this? Yes? Omg, I couldn’t be anywhere near this dude. He’s a walking buzz kill.
I’m sorry I asked 12 years ago
Put that on your resume
He sounds like the lock picking lawyer
In other words, NOTHING.
