His new book, Inspiration Porn, is out soon.We chat with him about Chris accidentally pouring candle wax all over himself at the Gabriela Hearst x Paul Smith dinner at the Chateau, Reese Witherspoon’s umbrella holder, Colbert’s final days on TV, Katy, Ariana, and Gaga, whether Will Arnett and Amy Poehler will get back together, Ryan being a closeted Dax Shepard listener, how you’d "better laugh at all his jokes if you want this Delta One ticket," a review of his book launch the night before—where Jason read one of Ryan’s sex diary entries, Gwyneth’s boyfriend breakfast bowls, Apple Martin and Romy Mars, we disagree on Olivia Dean, whether Jake Shane is today’s Truman Capote, Alex Cooper’s pregnancy press diversion, and some Ivy Wolk glazery.instagram.com/ryanoconntwitter.com/donetodeathtwitter.com/themjeanshowlonggone.comLearn more about your ad choices.
