  • I owe you a huge debt of thanks because

  • as you know,

  • about a year or so ago,

  • and to back it up a little bit,

  • all of my fans know that I've had a long running feud

  • with a guy on our staff,

  • named Jordan Schlansky.

  • Jordan Schlansky is a total pain in the ass

  • and

  • is a big know-it-all.

  • And then you did me this amazing favor.

  • I took Jordan to Japan.

  • And he, Jordan says that he knows everything about Japan.

  • Also

  • his, one of his favorite movies of all time is "Karate Kid",

  • and then a "Karate Kid II" the whole franchise.

  • And, he started to shoot off his mouth,

  • as I knew he would,

  • about how he knows that "Karate Kid II"

  • was shot in Okinawa, I think.

  • And I secretly asked you, would you tape a,

  • would you take a message of you

  • straightening Jordan out?

  • And you did that.

  • Your entire fascination with Japan

  • stems from the fact that you saw

  • "Karate Kid II",

  • (laughter)

  • and that it was filmed in, where?

  • Okinawa, Okinawa.

  • I have a message here for you.

  • Please press play,

  • and hold that out to the camera as you watch it.

  • Hi, Conan.

  • It's me, Ralph Macchio.

  • Listen, I'm sorry to interrupt,

  • I just wanted to tell that Jordan guy,

  • that all the scenes in "Karate Kid: Part Two"

  • that was supposed to be Japan actually shot in Hawaii.

  • (audience jeering)

  • Oh, and Jordan,

  • those weren't real dinosaurs in "Jurassic Park".

  • (laughter)

  • Sayonara.

  • I cannot tell you what that meant to me.

  • That was so sweet.

  • He's still recovering.

  • (laughter)

  • You appeared out of thin air.

  • His childhood hero appeared out of thin air and said,

  • "Jordan, I side with Conan.

  • You're wrong."

  • It was perfect.

  • I, you know, it's funny.

  • 'Cause you get asked to do,

  • or I've gotten asked to do,

  • you know, these sketch things,

  • you get the pitches,

  • "Hey, would you do this for whoever, whoever".

  • And it's usually a one off joke

  • that this show gets a lot more mileage out of it than I do.

  • [Conan] Yeah. This one came to me

  • it's like the perfect time with the

  • with a couple of suggestions,

  • each one better than the next.

  • I said, you know what, I was in my office I said,

  • okay, lemme just throw this up on the phone

  • and see if it works.

  • And it just,

  • it killed man, it killed.

  • We were playing it on the set of "Cobra Kai"

  • when we were shooting it and everybody was

  • going, "I could get to Macchio."

  • Because that was sort of the,

  • the pronunciation of my name.

  • Yes, Jordan was so mad.

  • He was so at me in that moment,

  • he couldn't just take the joke and go,

  • "Okay, pretty good you got me."

  • He just kept saying,

  • "Oh, you think you're so big because you've got,

  • you're the star of the show.

  • Well, I could get to Macio.

  • I could get to, you say it's Macchio!"

  • (mumbling)

  • Your hero!

  • How do you not know it's Macchio?

  • And my single favorite line of that,

  • of that year probably was,

  • your childhood hero came out of my phone

  • and took a shit in your mouth.

  • (laughter)

  • 'cause, you delivered it beautifully.

  • I laugh out loud every time,

  • and subsequently now,

  • and maybe it's because of "The Conan O'Brien Show",

  • and we'll give some props to Jordan,

  • even though I know you hate to do it.

  • (laughter)

  • I have been to Okinawa,

  • where some shooting of "Cobra Kai" Season Three,

  • Ah. Which,

  • I cannot talk too much about,

  • but I can say it dives into the origin of Miyagi-Do Karate.

  • [Conan] Oh wow, okay. We learn a little bit,

  • some secrets of past history that is new to the audience

  • and to LaRusso, my character.

  • And we actually went to Okinawa to shoot, so

  • I think you guys put that in the ether and

  • some-- So yeah,

  • retroactively you've proven Jordan right?

  • Yes I have.

  • But not after killing him and squashing him

  • and shitting in his mouth.

  • All right, we have a clip here

  • from "Cobra Kai".

  • And

  • I believe this is where

  • basically you are finding out that your old nemesis,

  • Johnny Lawrence

  • has set up the Cobra Kai

  • Dojo. Dojo, in the mini mall.

  • You realize that this he's brought it back.

  • You can't believe it and you go in and there's

  • kind of a quasi confrontation here,

  • which is kind of cool.

  • I think that sets it up.

  • Let's take a look at this clip from "Cobra Kai".

  • Is there anything else you need me to do?

  • I'm sorry, sensei but...

  • Sensei?

  • Really?

  • Oh my God kid, I don't know what he's told you,

  • but you shouldn't believe a word this guy says

  • or you're going to end up exactly like him.

  • You and I,

  • this,

  • you know, we're done.

  • I'm right here, man.

  • You know what, I'm really happy for you.

  • This is a, I'm really happy for your success.

  • And,

  • I'm happy that

  • and again, thank you so much

  • for destroying Jordan Schlansky for me.

  • That's right.

  • I owe you anytime you need any video from me.

  • If you can ever find someone who's a big fan of mine,

  • I'll do the same-- I'll start looking.

  • Start looking. And I,

  • it won't be that difficult.

  • (laughter)

  • I love "I'll start looking".

  • Well, you set me up,

  • you threw me a beat (mumbles) (laughter)

  • That over the middle of the plate I had a swing.

  • Thank you.

  • It was an illegal kick,

  • that you just gave to me.

  • The first two seasons of "Cobra Kai"

  • are streaming now on Netflix and,

  • it is a really fun show.

  • If you're not watching it,

  • get started.

  • 'Cause it's a joy and

  • Ralph, thank you so much.

  • Really good talking to you.

  • I appreciate it, man.

  • Thank you so much. Yeah, stay safe.

  • Take care, man.

I owe you a huge debt of thanks because
