Josh Gondelman Talks Relationships, Ghosting, and Old People on ‘Conan’

Here’s a clip from last night’s Conan featuring Last Week Tonight writer Josh Gondelman, who did a standup set to promote his new album Physical Whisper. Gondelman covers everything from why he thinks “ghosting” is a bad term (“If there’s a ghost in your life, he stays in touch”) to visiting his retired parents with his girlfriend to his defense of old people: “A lot of people say old folks are racist. I don’t think that’s true,” he says. “I don’t think old people are any more prejudiced than you or I – I just think they think they’re still whispering.”
