This is just a version of the double act: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Double_act

Schlansky's character is the straight man here, Conan (obviously) the funny man.

Not really meant as a reply to you, but more of an addendum to the "I'm sure he's in character" comment.

Same here

I didn't realize it wasn't until your comment

Come to think of it, I have been fairly called an Italian food snob. I don't have Schlanskyish levels of pretentious foodie prating coxcombry.
I will get pissed if just anything gets called "bolognese", for instance. And I have informed too many people of how there's no pepperoni pizza in Italy. I have more examples, but I don't want to get raped.
Not trying to be that guy but...

Yes you are trying to be that guy. I think it's cute that you're so bashful about it. Now bend over, sir.

Fair is fair.

Whenever someone says 'foodie', I mentally substitute 'glutton'.
