“[People’s attention spans] for nonsenses it’s shorter - for good stuff it’s longer” is a brilliant insight
Perfectly explains how some long movies can feel like they go by fast and some shorter movies can feel like a drag.
Mine is the same for both
Right?!? That's what I thought, too. I was so concerned, that we are slowly but surely turning into witless zombies in front of our screens - but maybe, he's right... At least 50 % of us will be spared turning into witless zombies in front of their screens (the rest is following Fox News and some obscure channels featuring wild conspiracy theories about blood drinking celebrities and lizard people and whatnot)...
Yes, I was like: Damn, this is spot on!
@@thorkagemob1297 Yeah, it's all about putting out an engaging product.
jimmy’s point about “you have a shorter attention span for nonsense vs longer for good stuff” is great
But I think he misses a point that we didn’t used to spend hours at a time watching short nonsense, but now there are young people doing that on TikTok, and they might not want to focus on longer stuff as they age.
@@bobxyzpthat's not true at all. people have always wasted time with nonsense. we love nonsense and we always have
@@bobxyzp People spent hours at a time watching TV. Researches has reported a short/short memory pattern since the TV generation meaning people don't actually absorb any of the stuff. Since TV it has became worse, but people did always have a short attention span.
Explains why so many people finish books.
My immediate thought when Jimmy described good comedians as those who can “change the thermostat of the mood” (8:48) was of Conan’s visit to Haiti where he did exactly that moments into a conversation w a group of people there still suffering after the latest destructive earthquake several years ago. I was already a fan of his comedy; it was then I became a lifelong admirer of his humanity as well. If you see this, Conan, thank you for that, and keep up the good work.
Doing a double take after seeing Jimmy Carr and Conan in a thumbnail. Two of my favorite worlds colliding!
They don’t have the same hairstyle anymore
More British comedians! I’d love to see Greg Davies here.
Good call
As would I. I’d love to see Conan talk to Greg about TM. Especially since I truly believe Conan would make an AMAZING Taskmaster if they ever decided to try a US version again. In fact I think they should just go all in and not only have Conan as Taskmaster but Andy Richter (or even better Jordan Schlansky) replace Alex. I think that and keeping the British format instead of the condensed one they used here last time would be more than enough juice to make it very successful here.
They were on a US press tour recently, I know they were on Seth's show. Hopefully they recorded an interview with Conan too while there!
I have a schoolgirl crush on Greg Davies….!! 🤪
@@karmaoutlaw So does Ryan Gosling lol
14:17 Another great observation by Jimmy Carr regarding great comedy (and I guess life in general too) here is when he talks about what the American painter and visual artist Chuck Close used to say: "Inspiration is for amateurs, the rest of us go to work." He follows this up with saying that inspiration is the reward you get for turning up for work(i.e. your passion or work or hobby) everyday. I think this is a great insight!
Love seeing Conan. He makes the world safe and better again.
how does he make the world "safe"?
@seventeensixty-nine6092 just a familiar old face and wonderful humor. Keeps people laughing and bringing joy. It's nice to see the old familiar faces and how they serve as a foundation for some. I watched him alot so it's how he makes me feel. The world is okay if we still have Conan out there.
he's not the barbarian, so I'm not sure about the safer world. But he does make the world a better place just by being him 😁
@@johnavernia1026 and I feel more grounded with seeing him after all these years with so many changes and upheavals and scandals. Counting on tride and true helps people feel more secure in the surroundings.
@@seventeensixty-nine6092I think what they mean is that most media is designed to make you scared of foreign lands and their people but conan repeatedly shows that people are the same everywhere and the world is not so scary as it seems
So much love from Southern Finland! ❤ I'm bilingual and lived in the UK, but assimilated North American influences very early, so I've grown up on both Python/Fast Show/Blackadder/panel concepts etc. as well as late night and US stand up classics. It's really cool to me that the "pond" is even narrower than before, lots of cultural appreciation and exchange going on. Thank you for all your work!
RICHARD AYOADE NEXT PLEASE !
YES! SECONDED!
There’s too much talent
Matt Berry
Too much.
Just Conan needs a friend from Channel 4?
Conan dressed as James Acaster for this interview.
it’s actually acaster dressed up as conan
@@TiffaniStarr Surely he would have done a shout-out to the Weetabix crew and the K-Town massive?
Jimmy Carr is fascinating, talks so well and has deep insight but is often overlooked because of his comedy
A young Jimmy Carr before he became a known comedian visited New York with his girlfriend and attended a taping of "Late Night with Conan O'Brien". He appeared in one of the shots of the audience. Does anybody remember which year/segment it is?
His first appearance was 2002 - S10 Ep18
@@tigger4011 Not all heroes wear capes
@@tigger4011 Legendss
@@tigger4011 Well that was his first appearance on the show but not the audience appearance the OP asked about. I couldn't find any references to that though.
@@dlxmarks I don't think the audience one is findable - unless someone mentioned it on a forum or something - and it never came up in search. It's hard enough fighting the algorithms to pull up stuff from a decade ago, never mind 2. 😏
Until Mother Earth says her safe word 😂
That was a brilliant joke.
South Park's BP oil spill episode
@@callmeshaggy5166we're soooooooooooooorry
I watch so much British tv now. The comedians are great, panel shows are hysterical, and series are entertaining. I love it when they bring out their drinks and snacks on the panel show and how much fun they have.
2 of my favourite comedians in 1 podcasts? Damn
I'll now have to listen to the whole podcast. I love the insight and am looking forward to Jimmy's new book!
Jimmy was sharp! One of the few instances I've seen Conan not quite able to keep up with his guest in a game of wits.
Jimmy’s stand up is one liners and a lot of people know of him through that, but he’s a power house for live improvisational hosting of many EU tv shows, watch a few and admire the brilliance, while he commonly still has to run a program through its paces, it’s amazing, one of the best in the biz
Two great talents. This is a very good conversation. Appreciate how they are exploring the topic.
james corden is the worst late night host of all time
That title belongs to either Seth Meyers or Trevor Noah
@@frankielinstrom they are both terrible but james corden is definitely the champion of terribleness. sad too because his predecessor (craig ferguson) was one of the greatest late night talk show hosts of all time.
Why do you think they are terrible?
Jimmy Fallon a close second. Trevor Noah third
"I'm quite close with James Corden"
Jimmy, I know you like to make outrageous and sometimes even offensive statements for effect but let's not get crazy here.
Very few comedians can make a me too joke and it be funny lol
Conan and Jimmy work much better together than i expected... shoulda been longer...
Such a good epsiode. Great back and forth. They got deep but stayed funny. Loved it
Conan looks still red from the hot sauce 🥵
hahahahaha!! He's the true champ :)
Someone mentioned his poor bottom, hadn't thought of that? It must have taken a good few days recovery, imo. 👵🇬🇧😅
@@anitahargreaves9526 "Toilet paper has no business trying to battle the mess of a Hot Ones appearance. Bidets, on the other hand, ..."
Flushing is a common side effect of a lot of blood pressure control meds.
@@iconsumeworlds Flushing is also a common side effect of too much hot sauce. 🚽
3:44 reminds me of the great Kids in the Hall sketch where Kevin's character is in court charged with molesting himself. He appears on the stand as the victim and as the defendant. Brilliant.
Conan Must Go was amazing, thank for make make me happy, your my best animator and you have great human value and these one is the most important
Brilliant conversation. Love it
The Big Fat Quiz of Everything - Watching Jimmy deal with those wrecking crews is a real gem. New Years tradition for me.
It's like doing a stand-up set where the audience is only other professional comics who are being paid to heckle you. Fantastic concept, lol.
I actually prefer Jimmy Carr’s serious conversation to his standup
I really like Jimmy as a host and on chat shows but I last watched his Netflix specials about 7 years ago and it was painful. I hope his act has evolved but back then it was the relentless "set-up -> punchline" style of 1950's comedians.
He is wildly brilliant. Highly educated.
Same. I'm not particularly fond of his stand-up sadly.
Agreed. Jimmy’s standup is painful to watch but he’s actually a very engaging speaker when he’s serious.
He’s great presenting shows, panel shows mainly, or as guests on things. He is genuinely funny, I’m not a big fan of his stand up style either though
"They'll never take me alive!!" 🤣😂🤣 You're an outlaw, Jimmy. Rough and tumble
This feels like we're one tiny step closer to having Conan as US Taskmaster
Oh my god that would be incredible! He would be like a carbon copy of Greg albeit with more American Goofiness and over dramatic nature. Ugh now I’m wishing it was real
@@elisabethschmerzler963 Me too! He's hilarious and charming and can do the same angry while also non-threatening thing Greg does!
Carr was a fantastic interview. Hoping for more Brit comics on the show.
Would love to see, Greg Davies.
So many great lines and observations.
list your top 10 lines and observations
Intention and context mean a lot - There is a big difference between being homeless and camping (Jimmy Carr)
Punching down? Sorry, you think there are people below me? I stop you there - Who's under me? In your hierarchy of humans? It's nonsense. (Jimmy Carr)
You backed into a compliment, I love it... Accidentally; you backed up into a supermarket and you backed up into a whole bunch of tomato cans with compliment sauce and you toppled them over (Conan O' Brien)
It's easier to build from LEGO than marble (Jimmy Carr)
Insanely profound discussion on the topic of standup that I hope every new comedian stumbles across
It was the serious part of the conversation that was most interesting in this section/video.
Two of my most favorite people!!!!
Watching Late Night back in the late 90s on CNBC Europe did really help improve my English by a lot.
4:56 skip the ad
My introduction to British sitcoms was years ago via PBS. My favorite British Sitcom is Last Of The Summer Wine. Brilliant show.
need more of comedians and jimmy of conan talking like this
I would love to learn the art of easing tensions with respect and humor. Also to lighten someone’s sadness without disrespecting why they are sad. A true skill in my book!
Wow. Such an interesting discussion about Jimmy’s observation regarding comedians having a sick parent - and learning to be funny to lighten the tension. I’ve been that way all my life. Re-thinking my career choices now.
JC and Team Coco having fun, i can die happy now!
❤
Wow Conan once again, you impress me with your knowledge in this particular case, of the War/Post War influence of Canadian and US Military bringing Music in 45 format to their deployments in the UK and trading records that is proper history m8
I had to check that I wasn't watching this at 1.5 speed--
Americans seem to talk slowly to the rest of the world.
@@StabStabStabStabbyDepends on where you live in the US. Where I lived in Pennsylvania, we talked very fast compared to even the next state over, Delaware. I had to consciously slow my speech when I moved to Delaware for a few years, else no one would be able to understand a word I said. But even some places in Pennsylvania speak slower/faster than others
I actually switched it to 1.5 ahahahhahhaha is it my span though...?
Jimmy speaks at ninety 6 beats per minute.
@@dallassears8668 Why did you write that as "ninety 6 beats per minute" and not "96 beats per minute" or "96 bpm"
Excellent.
Conan. To walk im to a farmer's market with a guitar. Nobody asked you to be there. To make people smile and relax. It is an amazing skill.
Wow ! Just wow !
Jimmy is brilliant
When do we get Conan on 8 out of 10 Cats Does Countdown?
Or Taskmaster?
_Conan O'Brien Must Go_ will eventually visit London so probably then.
i don’t think conan would be good for cats does countdown. he would be perfect would i lie to you though
@@Tonyhouse1168no
@@TiffaniStarrperfect 🤌🏻
"until mothers earth says her safe word"... A Genius joke!
this is quite an interesting conversation
Noel Fielding and or Richard Ayoade next?
Ayoade would be so good!
@@patreekotime4578 the only reservation I can see is his abundant reluctance to be open and forthcoming to interviews. He's always so cagey. The only time I saw him engaging in long form discourse was on a Russell Brand podcast, and that was awkward, too..
@@solitaryman777 Well he doesnt have to be. Thats the brilliant thing about this podcast. Conan isnt demanding deep erudite interviews with everyone.... he's completely open to hawking the latest goods or just riffing and BSing for an hour straight!
They wouldn't make for good interviews unfortunately
"Inspiration is for amateurs. The rest of us go to work."
That's what my animation professor used to say to the class.
I will watch every second of Conan after Hot ones appearance. I love Conan, but I forgot how much until that episode. Best interview ever
Carr shows off his intelligence here. Sign me up for a pre-order of the book he mentions.
*THIS* is what elevates Jimmy over so many other belligerent comics. Subjective enjoyment of his comedy aside, this is not an excuse for malice like so many others who just want to hurt people. In a way, he’s less a comedian & more a psychologist who figured out how to get paid more
The reason comedy is so hard to pin down as a science is: the magic of comedy happens in a single instant and it's very unconscious. Whereas you can stare at a painting or replay a song and "get" why it's good, it's very hard to revisit the moment where you laughed at a punchline and re-experience it. So you are left analyzing structure, but, structure is not art, it is the form of art. Still, I agree that somebody who is actually funny and a great writer should make a book about it. Because the books I've seen haven't had great advice.
This is great 👍 👌 😂😂😂
I see a Conan video, I click.
Sometimes, it's even a new video!
Great unexpected combo
We need Conan on Taskmaster
Jimmy has that waiting-for-my-turn-to-talk kind of listener vibe.
waiting? he interrupted conan so many times you can even see conan get a bit frustrated
He's a comedian and he is regularly on comedy panel shows, so he has to be good at interjecting. I imagine it is hard to shake the habit. I know Conan is good at it too, but Carr is an elite.
yeah i loved what he had to say but i wish conan got to finish some thoughts. He was in a way more relaxed contemplative tone than Jimmy's quick analogies which maybe jimmy interpret as conan is lost for words i should fill the silence
@@bisma1352 Conan does this at times with other guests as well. I think it's just something that comedians do in these types of settings, especially if you're not very familiar with each other; they'll try to fill even the slightest gaps or pauses in the conversation with something that might get a laugh.
@@drivethru6155 Not just "on" comedy panel shows, he HOSTS a bunch. If there's a hint of a lull, he's there to fill it with his quick wit, and it's definitely hard to break that habit. I'd imagine he got those jobs because he already had somewhat of that habit, like Rob Brydon did before hosting Would I Lie to You.
Voici la profondeur sagesse la plus caché de Conan. C'était un hôte estimé, et l'age, qui pouvait écreuser cela, bravo!
Conan definitely needs more friends from UK: Greg Davies, Noel Fielding, Bob Mortimer, Graham Norton, Stephen Fry, Hugh Laurie, David Mitchell...
I would love to see an escalating back-and-forth banter of being "more correct" than each other with him and David Mitchell, like Conan did with the occasional "I never make a mistake" viewer corrections back in the day.
@@Pailzor I wonder what would happen if Jordan was around as well :-D
Fry would be great!
James Acaster!
Very Nice 🧡🧡
they went in way too deep in my opinion. and i loved it.
“Inspiration is the reward for showing up every day”
Conan, the English panel shows are the best in the world... I hope you openly embrace them more often... 8 out of 10 cats, wilty, qi, big fat quiz of everything...all of it is superior to what America is offering.
Conan is still red from the hot wings.
"Toilet paper has no business trying to battle the mess of a Hot Ones appearance. Bidets, on the other hand, ..."
"I'm trying to kill you." Holy crap that's hilarious!!!!
" I got I tooed"
I relate so hard to conan. I was also in the same position as a kid. Its honestly still hard to believe is this difficult for people and can lead to such a lucrative career because when it comes so easily to you its just so difficult to value it. Also I don't know anyone in show business so it is very much magical people on tv lmao
I think Conan missed the Mark Maron reference…he could’ve flown with that one. 🦅
His point was that Gourley looks like Maron, right? He didn't quite drive it home.
Jimmy got pretty deep (no pun intended) on that Marc Maron podcast as well. You really don’t usually see that side of comedians and other celebrities unless they’re on these long-format interviews.
Jimmy co-wrote a book about the history of comedy called 'the naked jape'
Highly recommended
Just two geniuses talking. That’s all. 😊❤
More British comedians please. All of the comedians on QI, 8 out 10 cats, Would I lie to you and Count Down are brilliant. I love British comedians. 😅
CATHERINE RYAN PLEASE CONAN
Its Absolute true I Incline towards learning from my inspirations. I am learning and mimicking English while watching Conan , WILTY , 8 out of ten Cats, Task master.
Mostly i love the British accent
jimmy carr is amazing
I really liked the conversation around the language of comedy. You could tell that Conan and Jimmy are in disagreement currently, but Conan rightfully changed the subject for time. They need to have this conversation again away from camera for a much longer time. I think it would be legendary. Add in feedback from other geniuses in the industry, and I think Jimmy would be proved correct.
These two could be very powerful together. Two of the smartest people in the game and on their sides of the Atlantic. It would be a shame if they didn't make more comedy together.
I'm a kid of the '70s and '80s who grew up watching funny people in front of brick walls and I also never knew how to get into that business. I was a misfit who had to adapt to be the humorist like y'all said, but never pursued the idea that I could purposefully make others laugh, it was always a defense/adaptation mechanism.
how do you watch this (video version) fully? I can only find the whole audio versions, but I need the video :(
they don't release full video, only these clips. the only full version is the audio podcast.
I agree that the internet has improved everyone's english. It's always been the "universal language" but that's more true now than ever. Even regional accents are starting to blend together, especially with younger people.
In the forgotten TV SF made in the 1990s, B5, one of the characters calls English "The Earth Language of Commerce." It was already true then, ad LOT more now.
You know, It's funny how most of the content that I watch nowdays is either 10 second long IG/TikTok reels or 2+ hour long video essays
this is .. the only podcast format i watch.
.. .huh ..
Baseball, Abstract Expressionism, the SitCom...oh I thought we were going on a bit longer
Eddie Izzard trying to take stand up comedy into France and Germany is a fascinating thing, and the French comedy scene in general is really interesting. There's even a British comic who live in France who does bilingual shows that are phenomenal. The art form really does have so much room to stretch.
Carlin and Pryor stood on the shoulders of Lenny Bruce, Mort Sahl, and Redd Foxx. Go back further than that and you're in Vaudeville and the Borscht Belt.
Jimmy Carr interviewing Conan
What Jimmy said about late night shows being about NOT having a conversation and just keeping things going is exactly why I hate late night shows... I've always disliked them exactly for that reason and massively prefer this sort of format where an actual discussion can happen.
Connan "other languages" - cameo in K-drama "Happy Once Again"
So many British comedians, as it's a very differerent scene. Acaster, Gamble, Balls and so many more. The US needs Acaster.
Conan is much better in this setting, where proper conversations can be had, versus the contrived world of light entertainment with a studio audience.
Lee Mack and David Mitchell could be a mini series with the Doctors Gottman.
Okay, since we're lobbying for British comedians. Here's my short list: David Mitchell, Sarah Pascoe, Joe Lycett.
While I'm delighted to see Jimmy with Conan and Sona I really wish Jimmy had brought Rachael Riley along too .
Mmhmm!
Jimmy Carr’s laugh sounds like the seals from donkey Kong country
Now I want to see that 15 minutes of berating, with defensive squeaks dubbed in
Matt: "I'll be the best organ caddy boss!"
Carr nailed it- gorley is maron's organ doppelganger. absolutely see it.
I watch as much British television (especially comedy) as American, if not more.
