Did you know that green onions and scallions are the same thing? Nick Hart didn\u2019t, and last night he told the world about it on Conan<\/em>.<\/p>\n

Hart, the 2017 winner of Madison\u2019s Funniest Comic, made his television debut<\/a> Monday on the Conan O\u2019Brien-hosted TBS late-night show. He performed a routine that\u2019s quickly becoming his signature, a story about his onion-based ignorance \u2014 which he approaches with a Danny McBride-esque confidence \u2014 and the exceedingly patient Pick \u2019n Save clerk who had to explain the difference to him.<\/p>\n

Originally from South Carolina, Hart moved to Madison in 2003<\/a> and started doing stand-up after losing his job at CapTel in 2009. Prior to winning Funniest Comic, Hart ran an unsuccessful mayoral campaign (on $125, he claims) in 2011, where he won 2% of the vote. Pretty good for a dude who didn\u2019t know scallions are just green onions.<\/p>\n

You can catch Hart live in Madison this month at the Comedy Club on State (July 12-14<\/a>, with headliner Matt Braunger) and the North Street Cabaret (July 19<\/a>).<\/p>\n
