Overview of OBGYN Baaaaby

This episode of Conan O'Brien Needs a Fan features a lively, often absurd conversation with Jessica, an OB/GYN from New Jersey, who shares how she became a fan of Conan as a teenager and now works in a job centered on pregnancy, birth, and women’s health. The discussion blends genuine admiration for her work with classic Conan-style jokes about anatomy, childbirth, circumcision, and the awkwardness men often have around women’s health. Several sponsor reads are interspersed throughout the episode, but the core segment is the interview with Jessica.

Main Topics Discussed

Jessica’s background and connection to Conan

  • Jessica says she’s from Monmouth County near the Jersey Shore and has been a long-time fan.
  • She recalls attending Conan tapings as a teen and brings up a memorable family story:
    • Her mom once met Fabio at a taping event.

    • Conan jokingly ties that story to Fabio later getting hit in the face by a goose on a roller coaster.

Life as an OB/GYN

  • Jessica describes OB/GYN work as deeply rewarding and says she still feels amazed every time she sees a baby’s heartbeat on ultrasound or witnesses a birth.
  • She says she loves her patients and feels fortunate to practice in the community where she grew up.
  • She notes one frustration: babies don’t arrive on a convenient schedule, often coming in the middle of the night.

Childbirth and the delivery process

    • cutting the umbilical cord
    • delayed cord clamping
    • skin-to-skin bonding
    • encouraging the baby’s first cry

Women’s anatomy and medical humor

  • Conan asks Jessica to teach him something about women’s bodies, opening the door to a series of jokes and misunderstandings.
  • Jessica explains basic anatomy in a blunt, educational way:
    • urethra
    • vagina
    • anus
  • Conan plays along as if the clitoris is mythical or impossible to find, joking like a “clitoris denier.”
  • The conversation leans into comedic exaggeration while Jessica tries to keep it medically grounded.

Circumcision discussion

  • She describes pain management:
    • dorsal nerve block
