Ed Helms talks about fame, followed by the success of The Hangover.

During an appearance on Conan O'Brien's Needs a Friend, the comedian, and actor Ed Helms mentioned his rise to fame after featuring in The Hangover, which also featured Bradley Cooper and Zach Galifianakis, in 2009.

When the first installment of the film was released, Ed stated that it was thrilling, and the actor did add that it was yet another way in which he had been extremely fortunate—lucky in a million ways in that movie. He continued by saying that Bradley, Zach, and he were each on the same level before then and, therefore they were all trying through the same thing. He doesn't believe he would have remained sane without all those guys, but each of them had one another to understand and empathize with and a way of measuring oneself against and he thinks they managed to keep one another from wandering too far and being too rude and disrespectful.

Ed Helms worked briefly as a correspondent on Comedy Central's The Daily Show with Jon Stewart from 2002 to 2006. The actor wasn't as well-known at the time. Then, beginning in 2006, he was offered the role of Andy Bernard in The Office, from which he rose to prominence. Yet it was the success of The Hangover that prompted him to reconsider.

The actor stated that it was a once-in-a-lifetime experience for him and that he stares back on it and wishes he understood exactly more, having to explain that he desires he could go through it once more knowing what he understands now since he was struggling to recover a lot of the time, similar to the aftereffects of The Hangover. He told host Conan O'Brien that the fame was daunting for him because he was suddenly being pitched numerous projects and scripts.

Ed Helms admitted to feeling a lot of anxiety and identity confusion at the time, adding that one of the weirdest things about a significant jump into stardom like that is — and he appears to believe that this is what folks who may have never dealt with it or come anywhere close to it will never comprehend — the total loss of your atmosphere. When a person is famous, they simply cannot withstand baggage claims and expect it to be normal. Ed Helms has since discovered that there are various approaches to these situations. He went on to say that people can get frightened and hide in the bathroom until their luggage arrives on the conveyor belt, then run out and grab it and flee — or, you know, hire a significant number of individuals to perform all of these tasks things for them. He went on to say that the last thing he knows — and what he claims to believe is the best — is to just sort of accept the dynamic nature of these circumstances and recognize that the risks are rarely as high as you think they are in one's mind.

Ed Helms also thanked his Hangover co-stars for their support and heartfelt gratitude for his gradual rise in public persona. Ed Helms played Stu in The Hangover, which spawned sequels in 2011 and 2013. Both sequels featured actors including Ed Helms, Bradley Cooper, and Zach Galifianakis reprising their roles as Stu, Phil, and Alan, respectively.

Despite his accomplishments in the film franchise, Ed Helms' most well-known role is presumably that of Andy "Nard Dog" Bernard from The Office. He spoke to People magazine last year where he said that perhaps the show has lasted for so long because a large number more young individuals are watching it, which would include people who weren't even born when the first episode aired. It simply appears to keep erupting.

The Office aired on NBC from 2005 to 2013 and has recently undergone an increase in popularity on streaming services. Ed Helms most appeared recently in the short-lived Peacock series "Rutherford Falls," as well as films like "Together Together" and "Ron's Gone Wrong."
