'Jeff Epstein' - Jim Downey on Conan

I didnt see a good quality version of this legendary bit, so here's one with some additional context. Source:

#satire #comedy

[PatronSilverWave]

“sorry, nice try” kills me every time

[TheMTNDewd]

"OJ Simpson, the runningback?"

[officialzackk]

I lose it every time I hear "the New York financier"

[baseddepartment]

You can tell this guy was Norm Macdonald's writer for many years

[AndrogynousRatCatcher]

"Ted Kaczynski, the mathematician? "

[Bigjamoche]

The smirk when he says “with the island” is the greatest

[Mythonaut]

This is the brother of the “I didn’t even know he was sick” joke

[pleaseenteraname]

Sheev Palpatine, the senator from Naboo?”

[braindrain]

The puzzled look Jim gives Conan when Conan says he's never visited Epstein's island is such subtle comedic gold. Hilarious!

[Robertthewren]

Jim Downey is SLAYING here but Conan is absolutely wrecking the straight man role here. 2 pros just chopping it up, slicing and dicing like nobody's business

[guitarmaniac]

I love how he calls him "Jeff"

[mikejohnson]

I think the line "with respect" is so under appreciated. The whole thing is comedic gold

[JimJonesKoolaid]

Jim Downey's joke telling is just hilarious. I love the end "....it doesn't matter what you do in your private life" is just amazing.

[Knowaaa]

After Downey says “With the Island” and Conan says “Yes, with the island, which I’ve never been to” I was DESPERATELY hoping for Jim to say “Oh you should go. It’s lovely.”

[threeskin]

Jeff died? I didn't even know he was sick.

[supremememe]

“Anakin, the podracer from Tatooine?”

[Unoriginallooser]

"Jared fogle, the subway guy?"

[SuperBulldogWarrior]

The fact he calls Epstein and Maxwell by their first names is such a hilarious detail.

[primerex]

"Chris Benoit, the wrestler?"

[Materialist]

The completely defeated “You know what…it doesn’t matter what you do in your private life” is one of the best improv punch lines I’ve ever heard in an already immaculate bit.
