Comedian, podcaster and social media person Connor Wood laughed, laughing and laughing, saying, losing his job during the 19 pandemics and loving to watch a good TV show. A vast city,,,,, Curb your passion,,,,, Philadelphia is always sunny,,,,, Seinfeldand veep Ranked his list first. So naturally, when we met in West Village, New York City in May morning, he couldn’t help but tell me about his life, just like a TV show.
Each story is very accidental: There is a title of my “Gang Gets a Pig,” in which Wood and his sister bought a pig without their parents’ permission and hid it in a Texas room. “The one that Connor broke his arm was about Wood’s fake broken arm to get attention (celebrity, like us!), and he was multiple times before his arm ruptured. “The Cowboy Trial” was when he found out that despite his biggest attempt, he didn’t want to be a cowboy. Then there was “Connor was put on the watch list,” We all discovered that Wood was born on 9/11.

Shortly after Wood moved to West Village in February, incision A story was published Emphasizes how IT girls in Nishimura spend their time. Its spread is relatively popular, as it comes from incision Do. When I mentioned it, Wood admitted that his new home could be seen as an influencer in New York City. But, he said, he did not choose the village because it was close to an influential culture (a culture he would not necessarily identify with), but because he was eager to find a place, and his new apartment had “stunning light” that allowed him to “all day” rather than “fall into deep ineffectiveness.” ”
We met in a cafe that my guy owned, and even stared at the wood instead of pulling out the camera because he “fucking hates that tiktok shit”. Wood brought his own coffee, which he quickly finished and discarded so he could order iced coffee from the store. We sat in the bar and chatted. I asked him how he has attracted more than a million followers in the five years since he created the content Tiktok and Instagram. Online, he mainly posted comedy or editing on podcasts, Brooke and Connor made a podcast, He co-hosted with him Creative partner Brooke Averick, known online as @Ladyefron. If the internet has a way, they will also be co-starring in romantic comedy. Fans are obsessed with their chemistry, transporting at intensity, and only para-social relations can intensify.

One writes in one person: “This friendship is the basis of marriage.” Reddit, a son who is specifically used in duo. “I think Brooke might have felt at one time about Connor, but they really aren’t the type of each other,” another said. “I think they’re strict friends, they probably did it while drunk.” Need to be clear: none of these posters seem to have encountered wood or average.
So when Wood insists it is strictly platonic, they both find the fan theory “really interesting” and it’s obvious that he’s honest. “We laughed at it,” he said. “People have a lot of time.”
Leaving the coffee shop, we set foot on Wood’s goal in the morning: to buy some tchotchkes for his new apartment. We stroll to a quirky West Village shop where the wood is portrayed by a series of art prints depicting famous people as sandwiches. Then Wood’s press is labeling as they touched one of the prayer candles and yelled as a celebrity. We left quickly.
Many fans pointed out that while wood and Everick can be physically affectionate, it may just be a way for them to hang out. This view goes beyond fans. Dave Portnoy, 48, founder of Barstool Sports, Call Wood the “most annoying brother” because the wood seems too friendly.
Yes: wood yes Friendly. This warmth may lead people to read more about his relationship with Averick, but actively dislike someone, which is a very wild stance.

Friendship is one of the reasons why Wood’s many fans attend the show. He started to tour with Comedy in 2024 without any average tour back, including two sold-out shows as part of the New York Comedy Festival and two shows in the UK and Ireland. Still, he often faces the “Tiktok guy at the Comedy Club”, a name he doesn’t completely admire because as he’s seen, his work on Tiktok is no different from the work the comedians have done in the past – it’s just another medium.

“I read all these books with the comedian, [they talk about] Doing a show every night,” he told me, citing Jerry Seinfeld’s books Is this what? “We release Tiktoks every day. It’s not the same, but we’ll give the club right away and try longer piecemeal feedback. We’re now only this extra tool that can be used as something that sounds fun before we can go to the club.”
He doesn’t post a certain number of tiktoks every day, but he posts a few per week, most of which get hundreds of thousands of views, and Some of them Garners millions. He uses tiktok as a tool and listens to the audience – what do they find interesting? What do they find interesting? He collects all this information to create a collection. He then headed to the tour. Now, Wood is completing hisFiber and Friends’ Stand Up JourneyAfter performing everywhere from Virginia to Hawaii.

We stop at another The Kitschy store is filled with a high-priced Girlboss item for about 20 seconds, and then try to go to three closed antique stores. Wood is trying to buy something to decorate his apartment, and he also tries to show me where he is near him, so it’s not like his pictures, but he takes it like a champion.
“It’s amazing, everything is closed,” he said with a smile after the second failure.
During our walk, the wood moved with a loose, slightly curved energy that was uncertain where he was going, but was a little nice about it. He paused to admire the dog, was instructed to distract himself, and told me that he had spent the whole day drinking coffee in a pious silence.
Wood’s jokes don’t hit like fists in person. They unfold, more honest than the performance. It’s all fun and engaging, but it’s hard to figure out Wood’s true vulnerability. He is working on things he won’t tell me. He forgot his New Year’s resolution or refused to share it with me. He doubled when I pressed the upcoming project.
Connor Wood: What?

“I won’t [tell you]”He said, playingfully confirming his quiet strategy. If you completely forget about your goal, that’s perhaps the real secret to achieving it. I can respect that – although he doesn’t hold it completely tight and feels good to share his sweat (though you can’t tell him about his reputation). Imagine being unable to run or go out for a meal on the West Side highway.
Despite this, he didn’t seem to think he was still nearby. Wood has a major female fan base, and when I asked him if he wanted to get more men together, he smiled and said, “I wish I had more fans. I don’t care who they are,” and then pretended to post on the waiter: “Please, please, more fans! I’ll do double.”
Tensions between ambition and rooting drive the bulk of the wood that draws attention. He is ambitious, but not. He is self-aware, but not tormented. He wants to be fun, but not at the expense of care. He is one of those rare characters, and it seems that every comedy career is just an ongoing pilot season regardless of the numbers. You try something. What stick do you see? You rewrite the script. You want your audience to grow with you.
After our last stop at Restoration Hardware, we walked for a moment before giving up and we sat on a table on Little Island on a small and beautiful man-made island in Hudson River Park. Humidity is at its peak. I think my series with Connor is called “Antique Shop” and it’s reminiscent of this Seinfeld The plot of everyone getting lost in the parking lot.
Wood doesn’t seem to want to impress me, and it works. I didn’t impress him. He has no aura that is greater than lifespan. Often, this kind of detachment is only when you are talented thinking your work speaks or is so cool that your taste exceeds your silence, but Connor is just…some people. This is what many people like. That’s what I like about him.
If Wood’s Life is indeed a TV show, the recent season will be considered huge. The actors are changing, the scenes are flipped, and the profession evolves from a young Tiktok Jokester to a comic on stage. This is still about hijinks – the whole episode will be dedicated to “I have a wallet“ Podcast Line,,,,, A joke reminds me of Paul Rudd’s “I Love Lights” line host – But it’s about the craft as well. His appearance is open microphones, focusing on creative partnerships with Averick, which is part of the podcast, part of friendship therapy (not romantic), and learning how to balance visibility with things that look like real life.
Honestly, it feels like the kind of ending worthy of the green light.
