Early life Schlansky grew up on Long Island, New York. His family is of Polish descent. He is an alumnus of Commack High School, having graduated in 1991. He graduated with a bachelor's degree from the State University of New York at Buffalo.

Career Schlansky began working at NBC’s Late Night with Conan O’Brien as an intern in 1994. After receiving several promotions, culminating in the position of associate producer, Schlansky accompanied O'Brien to Los Angeles to produce The Tonight Show with Conan O'Brien. Although Schlansky made cameo appearances on Conan as early as 1995, it wasn't until the 2008 writer's strike when O'Brien scheduled an impromptu interview with Schlansky that led to a regular segment.

Remote segments with Schlansky and O'Brien have included couples counseling, coffee tasting, escape rooms and personal intervention on location in parts of the world such as Italy, Japan, Argentina and Austria. On the October 30, 2020 podcast Inside Conan, comedian Robert Smigel credited Schlansky for having introduced television audiences to his puppet persona Triumph the Insult Comic Dog. In the final week of Conan, host O'Brien jokingly looked back on 26 years of working with Schlansky and said: "I still have no idea what he does for my show.” Beginning in December 2023, O'Brien and Schlansky began hosting The Conan & Jordan Show on Conan O'Brien Radio SiriusXM.

Personal life A Star Wars fan since childhood, Schlansky believes the saga is the "greatest story ever told".
