Jordan Schlansky (born April 11, 1973) is an American television producer known primarily for producing Late Night with Conan O’Brien.

Early life

Schlansky grew up on Long Island, New York. His family is of Polish descent. He graduated with a bachelor’s degree from the State University of New York at Buffalo.

Career

Schlansky began working at NBC’s Late Night with Conan O’Brien as an intern in 1994. After receiving several promotions, culminating in the position of associate producer, Schlansky accompanied O'Brien to Los Angeles to produce The Tonight Show with Conan O'Brien. Although Schlansky made cameo appearances on Conan as early as 1995, it wasn't until the 2008 writer's strike when O'Brien scheduled an impromptu interview with Schlansky that lead to a regular segment. In a TeamCoco Q&A, O'Brien was quoted to say that the initial segments with Schlansky generated a sort of "cult of Jordan." Remote segments with Schlansky and O'Brien have included couples counseling, coffee tasting, escape rooms and personal intervention on location in parts of the world such as Italy, Japan and Argentina. On the October 30, 2020 podcast Inside Conan, comedian Robert Smigel credits Schlansky for having introduced television audiences to his puppet persona Triumph the Insult Comic Dog. In the final week of Late Night with Conan O'Brien, host O'Brien jokingly looked back on 26 years of working with Schlansky and said: "I still have no idea what he does for my show.” Beginning in December 2023, O'Brien and Schlansky started broadcasting The Conan & Jordan Show on Conan O'Brien Radio Sirius XM.

Personal life

A Star Wars fan since childhood, Schlansky believes the saga is the "greatest story ever told." His knowledge gained him the title: "Resident 'Star Wars' expert" on Late Night with Conan O'Brien. In various remote segments with O'Brien, Schlansky revealed that he met his wife, Emma, at a CVS and that O'Brien threw him a bachelor party; much to his displeasure.
