Woods is a fantastic guest. 30 seconds in and you know you're dealing with an incredibly smart person. He's well-spoken and sharp as a new knife. Personable, funny and jumps right in. Conan's had some really good guests lately. John Mayer was another surprise. Well done.
There's a trick to making a good appearance on Conan's show. Observant guests know it's HIS show and to always give him the room when he wants or needs it. The best guests can sense that, let him rip and then jump right in themselves. @@YurikRoss
I'm well aware of the immense talent that actors like Zach Woods, Thomas Middleditch, and Ben Schwartz possess. Understanding the complexity and skill involved in their performances, I'm all the more surprised by my own reaction. Given Zach's exceptional ability, my struggle to separate him from his role in 'The Office' speaks volumes. It's not often that I find myself so immersed in a character that I can't distinguish them from the actor. This shock, in a way, is a testament to Zach's profound talent and the unique impact of his portrayal. Knowing just how capable these actors are makes my experience with Zach's character all the more intriguing.
Yes, yes, yes to Zach's observations on British people (as an American living in the UK)! While I've always been a big fan of Zach's work, I didn't realize how incredibly perceptive and whip-smart he is. Props to the podcast for making Zach comfortable and letting him be authentic. What a delightful and kind person.
It's so true. The Norwegians have a word for it (because of course they do it to), but basically the concept is "Never make anyone feel like you think you're better than them" - and the end result is a Brit will never talk about how much they earn, or where they went to university (if it's really good), or sometimes even specifically what their job is - just in case the other person thinks "You think you're better than me, pal?!"
About 11 years ago I was at the Metropolitan Opera in NYC, and during the intermission people were hanging out in the lobby, and Woods was there. Some kid recognized him and said he was a huge fan and wanted to get a picture but his dad was outside so Zach was like “Ok” and obliged and went outside with the kid to take a picture with the Lincoln Center backdrop. I thought that was sweet.
8:48 anybody else noticed the amazing connection Conan and Sona have by this point?? like he literally didn't say ANYTHING about it and she already knows exactly what he means
It’s like when somebody says they want to go birding with you but really they just want to get you alone in the woods so they can take your binoculars.
A few of those NYC comedy freaks worked for me years ago. They would always call out from work because they got a gig on Conan. But I would watch Conan and they never appeared on the show. For a while I thought they were tricking me. But then I saw one. The Star Wars line episode. Those guys went on to have big Hollywood careers.
as soon as Conan started talking about needing talented actors to do bizarre things i immediately thought of Amy playing Andy's sister with those braces headgear.
Yeah I mean there have been zero in the last 15 years So you may want to phrase it differently Maybe Phil dunphy but he was funny Not outright hilarious Not to me anyways But if we start including animation Every single family guy/southpark character is funnier than any human person since Seinfeld/king of queens era comedy It’s sort of depressing but if I want a real (real) laugh I have to go to TH-cam And I have to watch this podcast Specifically the “cursed puss/I smush you” episode where Conan says People used to say to me “hey your real funny, too bad ABOUT YOUR PUSS” Hardest I’ve laughed since I was 12 or 13 watching Kramer on Seinfeld Me and my friends used to rewind the vhs tape 20 or 30 times just laughing and going bonkers over specific scenes of Kramer Such good times Sadly those times are long gone and never coming back
Her and Tina Fey are unreal funny. Miss them on SNL, loved the cast in the 2000s. Fey was also the first head writer on SNL! Wild how the internet ignores absolutely hilarious women!
I worked as a regular extra on Silicon Valley (Pied Piper represent) and Zach would take the decent script as written and turn it into an A++. I don't think they really used the off script takes in the edit of the show but those were some of the best days of work.
Gabe was so awful that I just assumed the actor would be terrible too… I “know” that they are actors, but sometimes I can’t separate it in my mind. This interview really changed my perspective on Zach.
Wowowowowo, I was just watching conan and Zach woods interviews, must've been a day before this came out and was like I wonder if he's come on the podcast and didn't see it and a couple days later its out lol
Conan, in a move that’s peak Conan, buys a nose hair trimmer, ostensibly as a nod to personal grooming. Yet, there he is, boldly flaunting that unmistakable tuft of hair on his bottom lip, defying the very purpose of his purchase. And somewhere, in a meticulously organized, espresso-scented corner of the world, JorDAN-the paragon of grooming precision-must be shaking his head in disbelief. This isn’t just a missed spot; it’s a statement, as if Conan’s saying, ‘Who needs perfection when you’ve got charisma?’ It’s like Conan's challenging Jordan’s grooming ethos with a playful, ‘Catch me if you can.’ JorDAN! This isn’t just a call to action; it’s a shout across the grooming divide, highlighting the gap between Jordan’s meticulous care and Conan’s charismatic nonchalance. 😂
There have only been a few Late Night Hosts that are kings and greats of Late Night - In no particular order - Johnny Carson, David Letterman, Craig Ferguson and of course Everyone's Friend - Conan O'Brien.
I loved Silicon Valley too. Unfortunately a few of its main players (TJ Miller, Thomas Middleditch) have since been deservedly canceled for terrible behavior. Too bad, it sullies the reputation of a great show
That's definitely upper middle class. Enough to be able to afford to raise six children but that itself probably leaves not much to have a "wealthy" lifestyle. Conan lived in the attic and he had to share it with his brothers.
@@stinkertondo you not remember he did that whole thing about how great Haiti was and he wore those Haiti is already great t shirts because he was virtu signalling cos trump said it was a sh hole
@@SwiftJustice how are they crying? How is it even maga? They are pointing out that rich out of touch celebrities have very bad political opinions, and when Conan goes around the world thinking he's helping he's actually doing immense damage. They're literally eating people in the streets, Conan was virtue signaling just a few years ago saying how great it was, but from his luxury hotel.
Please PLEASE go visit Haiti now. Please get on a plane and go directly to the new leaders. Tell them how virtuous you are and not at sll like that big ol meany Trump. He said it was a SHITHOLE country. GO PROVE HIM WRONG OF VIRTUOUS ONE 😂😂😂😂

The uni thing only really comes up with Oxbridge, and that's just because it's a proxy for wealth.
😂 “Strong” 😂 I love Sona’s genuine, sincere laughter. She adds so much to show.

It’s those personal one time stories that make people likeable
“You can’t see this, but he has a terribly deviated septum with little pieces of Franklin’s face” Zack Woods is so good at improv
8:48 anybody else noticed the amazing connection Conan and Sona have by this point?? like he literally didn't say ANYTHING about it and she already knows exactly what he means
Zach and Conan are such kindred spirits, their brand of comedy, their intellect and their use of high-level references. So awesome.
This man is state raised, and he sure isn't afraid to catch a case
NoonononononoNOOOOOOO
JAAAred
that's why you do the oxy
Thats why you don't dance on the blacktop with Jared
It’s like when somebody says they want to go birding with you but really they just want to get you alone in the woods so they can take your binoculars.

Zach is just a naturally brilliant performer.

This is my ideal Taskmaster and Taskmaster’s assistant pairing for an American version of TM. Please make it happen.
as soon as Conan started talking about needing talented actors to do bizarre things i immediately thought of Amy playing Andy's sister with those braces headgear.
Zach's reference game is on point. Medici? Damn.
Jared on Silicon Valley is one of the 10 most outright hilarious TV characters in like the last 25 years of TV - easily
Yeah I mean there have been zero in the last 15 years So you may want to phrase it differently
Maybe Phil dunphy but he was funny Not outright hilarious Not to me anyways But if we start including animation Every single family guy/southpark character is funnier than any human person since Seinfeld/king of queens era comedy
It’s sort of depressing but if I want a real (real) laugh I have to go to TH-cam And I have to watch this podcast Specifically the “cursed puss/I smush you” episode where Conan says
People used to say to me “hey your real funny, too bad ABOUT YOUR PUSS”
Hardest I’ve laughed since I was 12 or 13 watching Kramer on Seinfeld Me and my friends used to rewind the vhs tape 20 or 30 times just laughing and going bonkers over specific scenes of Kramer Such good times Sadly those times are long gone and never coming back
Man I completely forgot Amy Poehler on Conan! She was hilarious.
Her and Tina Fey are unreal funny. Miss them on SNL, loved the cast in the 2000s. Fey was also the first head writer on SNL!
Wild how the internet ignores absolutely hilarious women!
i want Conan to sneeze money at me hahaha
What an amazing callback at the end!
Wow, no idea they cut so many sketches on the old show. Please release the recordings!!!
10:03 why is he sitting in the darkest corner of the room that made me chuckle 😂
I worked as a regular extra on Silicon Valley (Pied Piper represent) and Zach would take the decent script as written and turn it into an A++. I don't think they really used the off script takes in the edit of the show but those were some of the best days of work.
He's actually quite likable when not playing gabe!
SHUT UP ABOUT THE SUN ☀️
Gabe was so awful that I just assumed the actor would be terrible too… I “know” that they are actors, but sometimes I can’t separate it in my mind.
This interview really changed my perspective on Zach.
I came here to laugh. Why am I tearing up at Zach telling me even more amazing things Conan did for people just because he's a genuinely nice person?
He is sooo good. I listened to this ep like 5 times now…

May Conan bless you and keep you 🎶 all hail Big Red!
Zach Woods is hilarious in the film Spin Me Round, highly recommended!
Silicon Valley is the funniest show of all time and I also bonded w my dad over it lol
I like Zach he seems like a good dude
I so badly want to see an 80's action movie starring Zach and Conan. Two strong men duking it out, testosterone fuelled machismo.
Conan you need to have Max Weinberg on the podcast!
I absolutely loved him in Avenue 5
Conan i love you
Conan, Sona and Matt are the best.
Team Coco, can we get Final Space on dvd PLEASE?!?!?!!???!
Sneezing money 😂😂
Zach talking about Brits not liking awards is often referred to as "Tall Poppy Syndrome". Blew my mind when I first heard about it.

this is great
I've never laughed so hard, since I watched Amy Poehler playing Andy Richter's sister on Conan.
God bless Conan O'Brien
Zach should be on again, like Hader, Olyphant, Goldblum, etc. he'd make a great regular guest. This is not Zach's alt btw -_-
Zach recently started creating content on TikTok, and it's a hidden treasure.
Shut up about the sun! SHUT UP ABOUT THE SUN!!!
Speaking of which, Sarah Paulson would probably make a great guest. She's pretty awesome.
conan gimme one billion dollars please
Leprechaun with Marfans Syndrome is definitely Conan’s inner voice.
It would be more odd if Conan didn't have any money after having his own show for so many years.
He's basically Whis from Dragonball 😂
There's no way Zach isn't Conan's son.
That's our big-hearted Coney (:
Coney! Coooooney! Let me come in. Why, sure Adam, come on in. Oh, I should go, you don't want me here, I should go.
Silicon Valley is brilliant.
Sometimes Conan laughs and I actually hear the Joker.
I still think Andy Richters sister bits were incredible
Nice

It's too funny.
Conan likes talking about Amy Poehler having a crush on him
The friend who won't shut up about knowing famous people is 100% Middleditch.
That's who I immediately thought of. Thomas Littlebitch.
I like Conan here; as being a bit less arrogant.
I loved Silicon Valley too. Unfortunately a few of its main players (TJ Miller, Thomas Middleditch) have since been deservedly canceled for terrible behavior. Too bad, it sullies the reputation of a great show
When's the next show in Haiti?
🤣🤣🤣🤣
More crying from the sniveling right
I think Conan grew up with pretty wealthy parents. Mom a lawyer Dad a doctor.
That's definitely upper middle class. Enough to be able to afford to raise six children but that itself probably leaves not much to have a "wealthy" lifestyle. Conan lived in the attic and he had to share it with his brothers.
When you going back to Haiti?
Hey Conan why don't you go to Haiti now?
SHUT UP ABOUT THE 🌞!!
Did Zach just fart @8:07?
hah! no, I think it's his fingers lightly drumming the table, but I can totally hear it as a small poot.
Hire
Hey Conan, will you be heading over to Haiti anytime soon? Ask for a friend
Zach has the weirdest face I've ever seen on a man. If he wasn't a nice guy he could have be a movie villain!
What about Haiti Conan!?!?! Gonna have any good cannibals on soon?!
