Conan: Steve, we’re all so happy for you, such  talented nice person who had so much success. But I think it’s good to explore with people that have done so well and let young people know that ... what didn’t always go this well. For you struggled a little bit, you had some... you had some crappy jobs.

Steve: I did have some crappy Jobs. Yeah! One of my first Jobs.. I worked in the produce department of the supermarket  and I would .. one of my Jobs was to wrap fruit in plastic wrap. I was bad... pretty much I was bad at every aspect of the job. It was not...

Conan: It doesn’t  seem... I mean I’m not trying to be insulting, but it doesn’t sound like it could be that horrible. What was.. What was the problem?

Steven: Well, you... there was a hot plate and it would melt the ... underneath the wrap .. it would melt the plastic .. but I would put my hands on it and melt my hands like I’d burn my hands.

Conan: Buttery.

Steven: Buttery! Exactly. When in doubt you say . well it has a buttery sort of ... afterbirth. “What? What did you say?”

Conan: You’re a terrible telemarketer.

Steven: I... it was .. it was one day. It was one day of my life.

Conan: You know…people say this about you all the time, you get this, and I think is a double-edged sword or  I’m guessing it is that Steve Carell is such a nice guy, such a normal nice guy and  those a lot of the characters that he play and I would think it’s some point than is every get.
