Conan O’Brien Takes His Food Snob Pal Jordan Schlansky to Olive Garden | Eater
"A favorite Italian restaurant of the host, where a playful, food-focused visit included ordering Italian margaritas and enjoying the chain’s unlimited breadsticks (joking about needing extra plates and even a ‘suitcase’ of complimentary breadsticks). The meal was comedic and theatrical—helping staff sing “Happy Birthday,” repeatedly grating cheese over the dishes while declaring “cheese it up,” and leaving the guest looking bemused—resulting in a fun, casual atmosphere that the host contrasts with authentic Italian dining. The segment was part of the late-night show’s new half-hour format and relates to a longer “Conan Without Borders” episode about their trip to Italy now streaming on Netflix." - Greg Morabito
