Jackie Kashian's "Conan" set explains how comedy prepared her for marriage

Comedian Jackie Kashian stopped by Conan to deliver a stand-up set that was as hilarious as it was a very honest look at what marriage is really like.

The host of The Dork Forest podcast, who got hitched a few years ago, talks about peoples' tendency to overrate their skills in the sack, her own lack of social skills, and the "best invention" ever, online dating: "I'm not good with men, but I'm excellent with computers," she says, "so I am married."

"Everything I know about being in a relationship, I know from stand-up comedy," she goes on, telling the crowd how her 30+ years in the industry -- and of watching hundreds of male comics joke about their relationships -- has taught her what men's main complaints are, and how to handle them. And, as a bonus, Kashian explains why roleplaying as a shark is literally impossible, in case that's something you've been considering.
