Honestly, it's not Conan's energy that's different, it's the audience's. For almost the first 5-10 years of his show, people who went to it didn't really get Conan's schtick. They expected the Carson/Leno/Letterman formula. But ever since the tail end of his late night run, people who go to see Conan are all diehard fans. They get his relationship with his guests.
@@raveoreynolds6049 I would agree that he hadn’t won over his audience yet, but it took him a LONG time to be comfortable in his own skin, and he had a little regression after Andy left. Plus his personal history with Lisa probably made him gigglier than usual.
Agreed, I’m surprised how consistently nervous he generally is in these earlier clips but of course he was still figuring things out. His DGAF really grew in the mid 00s it seems
It’s been so many years and their chemistry today remains as strong as ever. I swear Conan seems the happiest when Lisa is the guest. That breakup must’ve been really cordial or utterly heartbreaking
These two are timeless. Most celebrities change the way they talk or deal with things based on the demands of the time they live in. Lisa and Conan are just honestly genuine from the beginning.
It's funny to think about the fact that when you watch Romy and Michelle's High School Reunion that off screen somewhere during a scene Conan is holding a gameboy.
@@ryansizemore5064 It's one of my all time favorite comedies. I got it on DVD a while back, and binge it fairly often. It's right up there with Married With Children, South Park, Futurama, and The Simpsons.
I love how every Lisa Kudrow interview on Conan's shows have numerous comments shipping them still even though they're both married w/ children. Lol. No doubt would they be one of the most hilarious couples ever.
Nobody's asking, but for me it's the opposite. I've never had a type, but nonetheless women I've been acquainted with throughout my life that have in one way or another confessed a crush all look very similar. None have ever met each other. I dunno, genes maybe?
Where are you getting that they dated for 5 years? I've never seen any source that indicated it was longer than a few months at most. They quickly decided they were better as friends. I agree that he has a type, but he also had a longtime girlfriend named Lynn Kaplan (a brunette, BTW).
Kudrow has a fantastic face - it’s like looking at a Bernini sculpture of a goddess figure - beautiful and interesting at the same time. Her nose has a kind of regal elegance to it.
Oh my god, how adorable Lisa is. I mean, why is Conan like "this is no big deal". I would be mad if my Game Boy got lost. Totally get it. I mean, sure, Lisa probably can afford a million Game Boys, but HER SAVE GAME Conan!!!
It was a game that was similar to the Jumpstart 5th Grade Game ; except that it was a lot more complex and it had different types of difficult tasks that you had to do
I'd be interested in WHY they broke up. They seemed to be going in a similar direction in life/career, both funny, both rated with high IQ's, both tall for their genders... Maybe marrying people outside the entertainment industry is considered a smart move?
I'm just a nobody on the internet, but I guess they prefer someone who is the opposite of them; someone toned down, quiet, and serious. Sure, they'd be funny all day, but I guess they were smart enough to realize that staring at the mirror all the time can be boring.
I read somewhere that they were friends for years then started dating in '93 but only for a couple of months. They broke up that same year when Conan got this show and Lisa got fired from Frasier. She's in LA while Conan needs to move to NY so she thought it will be a wiser choice to just break up. Lisa said that she'll eventually become more needy and it's really not gonna work. I also read that it was very heartbreaking for Conan. His staff even thought he was closeted because he never had any girlfriend for the first 2yrs of the show until he confessed at a staff party that he's still scarred from his break up. He decided to move on when Lisa got married in '95 and he eventually dated Lynn Kaplan.
@@Val-ne7xz I mean she literally prepared him for his audition to this show, and then he got it, they broke up due to long distance stuff, this was an era where calling someone across the country without a mobile to carry around might have costed a lot (I don't know the exact rates ). Also making late night TV show when you are inheriting it from Johnny Carson and David Letterman is not easy. (There's a whole thing about it which gets me confused). And Lisa later got a supporting role on Mad About You and due to this show, she got the role of Phoebe on Friends and at this similar time, she started dating a French guy (there's a whole story about how they got together not telling that) to whom she gets engaged to by the time Friends started airing.
My theory is that Conan was always still in love with Lisa, and took her getting married not so well. And that’s why his current wife looks like Lisa lol
I now get it why it didn't work out between them.... it was the Gameboy! Nah, kidding. Lisa's great but her wit/ energy is i think equal to Conan's. Liza, Conan's wife, on the other hand, is like a calming presence to his crazy mind. Relationships are also about balance. No idea, what I'm talkin' bout 😂😂 just my 2 cents HAHAHA
I love these glimpses of early Conan. Basically the same as now, but with that extra edge of awkward teenager energy.
Honestly, it's not Conan's energy that's different, it's the audience's. For almost the first 5-10 years of his show, people who went to it didn't really get Conan's schtick. They expected the Carson/Leno/Letterman formula.

@Teams Coco . Try to find Conan O'Brien with Sable
Spot on👌🏾
Agreed, I’m surprised how consistently nervous he generally is in these earlier clips but of course he was still figuring things out. His DGAF really grew in the mid 00s it seems
Conan would've been a much better host for the HBO max FRIENDS reunion, so much better!
😭 I didn't even think about that, he would've been hilarious, but they had to go with the mainstream guy Corden
@@simretsekhon586 corden isnt more mainstream than conan, thats madness
That would have been perfect
Don't get me started on that reunion...
So, I am not the only one 👍🤟
It’s been so many years and their chemistry today remains as strong as ever. I swear Conan seems the happiest when Lisa is the guest. That breakup must’ve been really cordial or utterly heartbreaking
Maybe better as friends than a couple
Don’t think he ever got over her.
did he say he never got over her? i thought she said he was the one to break her heart??
I'm guessing there was no real heartbreak. It was probably mutual.
These two are timeless. Most celebrities change the way they talk or deal with things based on the demands of the time they live in. Lisa and Conan are just honestly genuine from the beginning.
It's funny to think about the fact that when you watch Romy and Michelle's High School Reunion that off screen somewhere during a scene Conan is holding a gameboy.
So this is where “Clueless Gamer” started 🎮🎮🎮
NICE! 🏆
👏👏👏👏👏
Petition to have the first HBO Max show include a Clueless Gamer segment with Lisa and y'all play Pokemon on a Gameboy
They need to be young again back in their youth ages and have another Episodes of Friends that they never did
Your not helping
She is the definition of "Contagious Laughter."
They should fix Fighting Games by removing Guest Characters and you know the rest
"... it was my game boy" XD
Lisa is a brilliant comedian, by far the best of the bunch. She should have been much more successful.
I was just thinking that as a reply. Lol!
Funnily enough, I most consistently watch her post-Friend works. More than the other Friends.
if you had lisa kudrow as a friend in life you already made it. she’s a cool person
"it was my gameboy..." lmao she's so cute always had a thing for Lisa man she's gorgeous and she's got the most adorable laugh ever
Conan should have hosted the friends reunion as his retirement as well; would make such a great emotional show
Cone-bone so nervous with his ex that he clearly respects. Lisa barely says anything through the first part of the interview. Kinda cute.
10 years friendship in 1996, and now its 2021
An ideal friendship 💙
It would have been late 90s… this is an old clip
The way he was looking at her at the very beginning🥰
Two cuties, once a couple and now greater friends.
These two had insane chemistry.
right? I wonder why they broke up back in the day
They would have Made a very cute couple.
Actually, Conan's wife's name is Liza. And she kinda looks like Lisa Kudrow.
@@SoItGoes5 Liza. Right.
They dated for a while if I remember correctly. Sorry if I’m spewing bs
@@HowDoYouPronounceGIF Your correct they did date.
They dated for nearly 5 years.
Yeah they dated but figured out their relationship was better as friends rather than a couple
Thirty-five Years of Friendship- real bonded friends, what a Blessing x!
Lisa anddd Conan deserved a better audience
She was probably my favorite on the show. I enjoyed her guest appearance on Duckman, too.
Haha. Someone else remembers duckman.
@@ryansizemore5064 It's one of my all time favorite comedies. I got it on DVD a while back, and binge it fairly often. It's right up there with Married With Children, South Park, Futurama, and The Simpsons.
His teenage voice + accent is the cutest thing 😆
He was in his 30s here lmao
@@joellek.8260😂😂😂 all teenagers have late night talk shows didn’t ya know?!
Its amazing how lucky Lisa Kudrow is for been friends with Conan!
I want a podcast that's just Conan and Lisa Kudrow telling stories from their 35-year friendship.
Ehm... There is. They did an episode of Conan Needs a Friend. An hour of bliss.
@@davidhurtado2725 I'll keep an eye out for it, but one hour is too short
They actually dated, too, right?
@@the_glitter_isthey did.
I'm annoyed I never knew enough to appreciate these as a kid when it was live.
This is the conan i fell in love with when I was a child staying up late
I love how every Lisa Kudrow interview on Conan's shows have numerous comments shipping them still even though they're both married w/ children. Lol. No doubt would they be one of the most hilarious couples ever.
They did date for 5 years.
I came up with a Friends Episode on one of the Seasons called The One at WWF New York
@saewha Yeah. That's what my last sentence was referring to.
Yeah. That "actress on a talk show" definitely was an early Valerie Cherish for sure😂🙌🏻
Exactly!
100% :D
I died when i saw that part!
Conan knows what we want! This is the best pairing EVER!
Crazy hearing Conan’s voice from 1996
Now that I think about it, she's the best looking of the Friends cast
Truth❤
Conan would have been a great Chandler
Conan clearly has a type because his ex girlfriends and wife all look like sisters. I can’t believe these 2 dated for almost 5 years 💜
Nobody's asking, but for me it's the opposite. I've never had a type, but nonetheless women I've been acquainted with throughout my life that have in one way or another confessed a crush all look very similar. None have ever met each other. I dunno, genes maybe?
Blonde women are something else.
Where are you getting that they dated for 5 years? I've never seen any source that indicated it was longer than a few months at most. They quickly decided they were better as friends. I agree that he has a type, but he also had a longtime girlfriend named Lynn Kaplan (a brunette, BTW).
So Lisa Kudrow fucked Conan?
His type is women named Lisa
Love her! She is so incredibly talented!!!
my goodness..Lisa is enchanting here. That smile makes my withered husk of a heart skip a beat.
Just watched Lisa on Conan's podcast. And they literally rehashed some of these same jokes about her French husband lol
I still have a crush on Lisa!
Kudrow has a fantastic face - it’s like looking at a Bernini sculpture of a goddess figure - beautiful and interesting at the same time. Her nose has a kind of regal elegance to it.
I love Friends series ! Watching them every day ! Thanks for sharing ;-)
I've often imagined what it would've been like to exist within the zeitgeist of Friends at its height...
I feel conan was still into her when he described her husband. 😜
Post more Lisa With Conan please!!
The fact that she had a gameboy is incredible
Omg! That Groundlings bit is the beginnings of Valerie Cherish! Her comedy is so much more funny than SNL!
just watched Conan needs a friends wit Lisa, what a time capsule =- T
Back then everyone watched for the opening sketches and the interview-
s were like a nice extra.
This looks like it was shot yesterday! What did they use to shoot this? Really preserves well.
Film lol
Its what would be known as about 480 p currently. But yeah anything without terrible blur and graininess is good.
@@snoopsteryomom lol wut. Live shows are never put on “film.” This is likely Digital Betacam tape.
@@daron9229 Yep, Beta was standard then.
lol you know people were not linving in the stone age during 1996 right? Kkkk
She's a very normal acting lady for a TV star
The energy is, OFF CHARTS.
I think they would have made a beautiful couple.
They were a couple for a time.
Lisa is so beautiful 😍😍
Lisa is so beautiful:)
That Mira Sorvino movie is Romy and Michelle's High School Reunion and it's hilarious
I feel like Aubrey Plaza is filling this generation’s weird person slot in place of Lisa Kudrow
I like them both.
Oh my god, how adorable Lisa is. I mean, why is Conan like "this is no big deal". I would be mad if my Game Boy got lost. Totally get it. I mean, sure, Lisa probably can afford a million Game Boys, but HER SAVE GAME Conan!!!
Something about this interview, there's an awkwardness between them
Really cool see her doing Famous Actress In A Talk Show, which years later came to be Valerie Cherish.
what ana absolute bombshell
The game that I’m thinking of was around during the Friends 10 years and seasons
conan is kinda chandler type of guy
Man, the studio audience was dead that night.
Its funny having those two there all fun and jokes just to realize they have 160 and 154 of IQ.
She kind of looks like his wife.
The birth of Valerie cherish
This is pre-super-sayan level Conan
It was similar to the old 80’s version of The Oil Spill Game , but it had more modern graphics than multiple choices
The video won't play nice one youtube....
Lisa’s pretty damn funny. So underrated.
She is not underrated
I love how Lisa isn't doing that for you....
I hope Lisa Kudrow still plays game.... mayhaps she plays the Switch nowadays.
I think she was the hottest on friends tbh
Oh Lisa you so cool :)
It was a game that was similar to the Jumpstart 5th Grade Game ; except that it was a lot more complex and it had different types of difficult tasks that you had to do
Golden age of Lisa!
She made Romy and Michelle's High School Reunion, and married Michel.
Shes great on talk shows.
I don't want to live in a world where they didn't have sex while they were going out.
Great story I love them ❤️
And that's the origin of the Clueless Gamer...

1996 wow... where did the time go.
Romy and Michele for life!
That Actress on a Talkshow character she does sounds like an early version of Valerie Cherish from the Comeback.
I ship them
#LOCO
This looks like it was shot using the front camera of an iphone 11

I really wanna know what she was playing on that gameboy. To early for Pokémon
Can't tell, is that Lisa or Phoebe talking...
58? Lisa Valery Kudrow you beautiful. Good 100%
She roasted him😂
How’d they not end up together lol
They dated for years
I don't understand it too
Conan looks handsome here. He is still a good looking man now but he becomes paler and paler 😂
This was before Conan's Boston accent went fancy-shmancy New York/LA
What game was she playing?
I wonder where it is now. I want it
What was the name of the computer game that was from the 90’s or the early 2000’s when a guy would shout “ You Just Made Mucho Dinero ! “ . ?
Math for the Real World!
What year is it?
1996
And then after the timer ran down to zero , at the end of the different types of tasks , you could earn game money
When did Conan’s voice change to the adult voice he has now?
People's voices deepen as they age. Especially if they drink lots of coffee which he seems to do
