I got to meet Conan one time in an airport. I didn’t want to take up his time so I was very quick with my interaction but he stopped me as I was leaving and asked me if I wanted a picture. I also called him Mr. O’Brien and he said “Please. Please. You can call me Sir.” He’s a hilarious and genuine man from what I can tell.
He took a page out of Norm Mcdonalds book, and he knows that if you want a likable personality then don't act like the smartest person in the room even if you are.
I went to a Conan taping in 2004 and we waited after the show to try and get a photo with him, he was so kind and funny in person, we asked “can we get a photo?”, he said “yeah hurry up I got a date with Paris Hilton tonight” We said “wow really?” He said “no I’m going home alone” and then the cleaning lady came by and he was making wisecracks with her, truly a wonderful moment meeting him…
An important part of Conan's hosting style is that he had always played the role of a jester, in comparison to other hosts (Jimmy Kimmel, Ellen, Larry King, Oprah etc) who want to look "good". Viewers naturally feel closer to hosts that play a fool of themselves, and Conan got away with many rude antics (which has huge comedic effects), because we as viewers, have established the impression that Conan meant no harm.
That and the fact he let people like Norm Macdonald run absolutely wild on his show. His whole rant on that Carrot Top movie while the actress playing in it is right next to him is still the funniest thing that ever happened on any talkshow.
I’ve met Conan multiple times, all of them on accident. Twice at an airport, once on the street of NY and a different time when he came into a place I worked at. After the first two times he actually remembered my name. When I saw him the last time at the place that I worked I joked, “it’s like the universe is saying something to us” and he said “Yeah it’s saying ‘stop stalking me’” hes such a genuine person and makes such quick remarks. He made everyone at my work laugh and was so kind to everyone. Such a legend.
I met Conan at a former coworkers wedding. My former coworker's mom was his nanny. He was with his daughter. I wasn't sure if it was appropriate to go up while the wedding was going on. But he was so inviting and genuine. He couldn't stay long. But the fact he came out to his Nanny's son's wedding and had a good time. Says a lot. James Corden doesn't even know his drivers name
Bro, he lost his dream job, but in doing so get his staff nearly $50m in severance and took them all with him to his next gig, where he could do whatever he wanted and smashed the ratings his way. He went from winning to winning and managed to help his entire staff win as well, and launched entire-ass careers. The man is a legend.
@@EikottXD Was it only $12m? I thought the total severance was the remainder of his contract payout, which was like $49.8m? Edit: I just checked - he got $45m plus he was paid for the shows he already did.
One thing I love is that history will remember him in a way it'll forget the other hosts. Late night is a dying medium, but Conan transcends that scene. He's genuinely so funny and talented. I feel like a lot of newer comics are heavily inspired by him - even youtubers like Drew Gooden are clearly heavily inspired by his style.
He is from Harvard he knows how to make a deal. If there is one thing we learn at Harvard, it is how to make deals with others. My wife is from the Japanese Equivalent of Harvard, when the landlord of the shitty flat we were living in (and i mean really shitty with roaches and the laundry machine outside the flat), decided to sell the place to a developer, she made a deal with the landlord and made them pay for the entire moving, for the relocation for the first 6 months rent of our next place (and boy the next was pure luxury) and she made them pay her 150 000 dollars (in yen) or we were going nowhere or dragging them to court and asking for 10 times that amount. The landlord couldn't believe how good she was, and that someone so educated would rent such a crap apartment. He thought he was just leasing to broke uneducated people. We had just rented the place because we had just moved back to Japan and hadn't gotten jobs yet and needed the cheapest place to live that we could afford as students. Never underestimate the power of education. When you know all the laws and rights and tricks and all the loopholes you are the most powerful person in the game.
This video gives me bad right wingy vibes. I appreciate Conan but he isn’t perfect (see: him being weird to Nicole scherzinger), and this dude is seriously demonizing Ellen, a lesbian, for not having a dude who made homophobic remarks on her show for not “agreeing with her views” be so for real there’s a lot wrong with Ellen but that isn’t one of them
@@orangeants Glad it wasn't just me. Several parts of the video seemed to frame or demonise people and their beliefs in a way that just assumed you shared the creator's prejudices about the world, but those prejudices seem to stem from hanging around a bit too much with narrow minded folk & media online and not actively being challenged by others. Appreciating people as irrational mixes of disingenuous and genuine passion.
@@orangeants”right wingy vibes” just listen to how dumb you sound. Everything he said was right all the late night hosts in America are trash and sold their soul to Israel and Democratic Party. What once used to be an avenue to better help people after work has turned into a let’s talk about trump and American politicians all day that’s why so many Celebs out of the American political range don’t go back
My youth pastor used to tell the story all the time, he was in New York and randomly saw Conan O'Brien walking down the street, surrounded by a giant circle of fans wanting his autograph. Keep patiently waiting and asked if he could please have his autograph, he said sure thing, signed it for him, and my youth pastor said thank you so much. Conan stopped dead in his tracks, looked him right in the eyes and said " you're the first person to thank me today" and gave him a very genuine hug. He said that such a small gesture of kindness can go a long way, that although he's a celebrity he is also a very genuine human being just like everyone else, which leads me to believe every positive story I have ever heard in my life about Conan O'Brien.
@@somethingelsedoesmatter A detail i forgot was that he said that he was surrounded by people wanting his autograph, with autograph books and pictures of Conan just shoving it in his face surrounding him, which he assumed were people wanting his autograph to possibly resell
Jimmy Kimmel is a d--k wad!! Wish he would leave the country like what he and his Hollyweird comrades said they would do when Trump was in the oval office. Hypocrites and condescending!
Conan's humor is evergreen. Other hosts rely so heavily on topical humor and gimmicky jokes, while Conan's humor is genuinely timeless. I've been a fan of his since I was a kid in the 90's and he's still the best many years later.
I've only discovered and watched parts of his shows recently, the humourous sketches and bits outside, but they indeed feel timeless and sincere everything late night tv isn't
The vid bizarrely did my boy Craig Ferguson dirty for half a second at the end. He was hilarious and a good interviewer and _never_ topical; reminds me the most of Conan. Did a lot with very little they gave him on the show. They never really made a word of case against him but just threw in the visual for half a second in the vid's closing seconds. Weird.
Don't you dare bring Craig Ferguson into this. The man is a treasure, and his interviews ( especially with actresses ) were hilarious. That said, Conan during the writer's strike was what really set him apart from everyone else. He took his own absurd humor, cranked it up to 11, and just rolled with it. I remember when he put his desk on a scissor lift. Who else would've done that? No one. The man is one of a kind.
This is great. I feel the same about Craig Ferguson. When most late night hosts were making fun of Britney Spears for shaving her head and the umbrella video, Craig said he saw someone that needs help. He brought up his own battles with alcohol & drugs and that he could relate to her.
Very much this👆 I'm not a fan of her music but when Craig presented this view of her and how relatable it was to many of us I respected him a great deal.
herd mentality remember it was okay to make fun and get easy laughs because thats what everyone wad doing, if loads of people were going oh poor britney they would be doing the same thing
I still remember his Peter Jackson King Kong joke. He's all.... Yeah just watch the first twenty mins then go sneak into brokeback mountain. If you're into that. Then go back after forty five mins. Better yet just wait til it's on dvd and go to the scene, Kong arrives. Idk why I found that SO funny.
Craig could've just done a monologue for his entire show he was so good....I did love all the interview he'd do with beautiful actresses. Conan is great as well, but Craig was a bit funnier imo.
Yes! I balked at him being included in the list of failures. He bailed when Letterman retired rather than deal with what he knew was coming. And boy was he right.
Conan, Jon Stewart, Stephen Colbert, Seth Meyers, and John Oliver are all acknowledged as having supremely good relationships with their writers and production staff, and are considered pillars of the late night entertainment industry. All of them have during various strikes, gone out of their way to guarantee their staff were paid properly, either out of their own pockets or by doing extra work to earn the cash they need. Colbert makes a point of having his staff make appearances on the program (as does Conan and Seth Meyers), with Colbert offering congratulations to the various staff members on air whenever someone gets engaged, married, or has a child. Colbert also early on recognized the genius of Jon Baptiste, and the world owes a collective thanks to him for giving him a huge break, doing the same thing for his crew that Jon Stewart did to his peers when he was the full time host of The Daily Show. To me it is also telling that whenever former Conan staff have gone onto other things, they end up working with Colbert. There is NOTHING fake about Colbert, and he (not CBS) is the executive of his show. Whereas his character on The Colbert Report was a character he was playing, and as such could get away with being more irreverent, rude, and would pursue a narrative story of the wider program. And your wise crack about the dome at the Ed Sullivan Theatre? IT'S A PROJECTION. IT CHANGES EACH NIGHT.
Agree. He might have had a point early in the video but towards the end it’s like he’s just grasping at straws for ways to attack comedians whose political views he doesn’t share. Normally I would say that late night talk show hosts should limit the political commentary in their shows but we do not live in normal times. When your President is a walking, talking joke, it’s hard to resist using him in your act.
THANK YOU I thought I was going crazy. Colbert Report was a CHARACTER. The Bill Burr thing, ummm. Do we really need yet another lesbian home depot joke? That was old in the 00s when Will and Grace did it. Colbert calling that out isn't shilling for the producers, it's one comedian holding another accountable for a tired joke his producers were right to nix.
No one but Conan could do those skits with Ice Cube and Kevin Hart. No one else has the authenticity and self confidence while also not taking himself so damned serious. Being a fan of his starting on Late Night, I’m happy to see him getting the flowers he deserves.
@@supersmoo7377being apolitical is, of course, itself a political opinion. However, there's a kernel of truth in the disgust toward the performative virtue that characterizes media, whether liberal or conservative. Corden and DeGeneres are clear examples that even progressive individuals should clock as duplicitous and self-serving. Terminal centrism, perhaps. The frustrating part of any political discourse is happening upon someone who is only partially wrong.
I mean that's usually the main point of most of his content, and I'm not a big fan of most of it for that reason, even if I agree with a bit of it. However, in this case he's calling attention to the very real problem of entertainers overestimating their importance and conflating the job's goal of ENTERTAINING PEOPLE with preaching. There's nothing wrong with using your platform to comment on things and get people thinking critically about them (something that comedians like Carlin and Chappelle excelled at), but there is a stark difference between bringing something to people's attention and telling them what to think. It's important to Conan's success because he never fell for that trap and is always first and foremost an entertainer
Late night shows died with Conan and Craig. I truly hope Jimmy Kimmel is right that there won't be any late night shows in 10 years because they're all terrible now.
He was fun early on. He has a genuinely funny personality, but he entered the talk show biz by signing a dotted line that would make him its bitch forevermore. Imagine having the dream (and fan expectation) of wanting to carry Carson's legacy without even a fraction of the control Carson had during his tenure. This haunted Leno too, but Fallon's contract is far more soul-crushing than Leno's ever was. I'm glad Jay got out of it before it destroyed his soul; but Fallon is fully steeped and forever pigeonholed in a way that I don't see much hope for his future in high profile entertainment once he leaves NBC. So for now he's reduced to being a dancing monkey in a vicious loop that I hope he can one day grow enough balls to escape it.
For anyone who wants a behind-the-curtain look at Fallon, search the vid “Zach’s Jimmy Fallon Story”. It’s the one with Newsboyz in the title. The guy who told it (comedian and horror film writer-director Zach Cregger) did so on a livestream against his better judgment then took it down shortly after, but someone uploaded it here recently. Def changed my image of Fallon, and not in a good way.
I disagree about Conan not bringing up politics. He has mentioned a lot of times that he is anti-Trump. This is made more apparent in some of his remotes (segments where he goes to another place/country). I'm not hating on Conan. He is my favorite talk show host.
He was definitely less political than the others who made their whole shows about politics after Trump started running. They tried to be smart guys, doing cringe propaganda while he kept trying to be entertaining.
Yeah, he literally had Joe Biden and Hillary Clinton on his podcast, it's disgusting. I still love Conan, but interviewing ANY politician, regardless of their politics, is totally vomit inducing.
Conan always had something special and genuine about him that other modern late night "comedians" dont have. He was old school but at the same time his self depreciating humor was quite ahead of its time and hit hard with millennials like me. He's a rare breed and to this day can still make me laugh.
As someone from Gen-Z, Conan has always been one of my favourite comedians. Recently I introduced my fiance to Conan's work, and now we love sitting and binge watching Conan clips online. The man definitely shaped my entire sense of humour.
What I loved is the fact he didn't want to exploit his friendship with Lisa Kudrow. The first few appearances, he treated her like a guest and wasn't too "chummy". Other hosts are shameless about their famous friends and don't really do their job properly as a result.
14:57 A little more context..... Jennifer Garner said "snuck isnt word and you should know better Conan because you went to Harvard." Which got a lot of the crowd laughing at Conan's expense. His background as a Harvard graduate has always been used against him as a way for people to say "this Ivy Leaguer thinks he's better than you!" Which is ALSO a true story from the early days of him doing late night. One of the announcers in those days used to warm up the crowd before the show by using that same joke about being an Ivy Leaguer so he thinks he's better than you, which he's proven is NOT the case
I only saw Johnny when they would rerun his daily shows from the 70’s late at night on a cable channel. He was hilarious. I liked Leno, Letterman and Conan too.
I loved Letterman when he was on Late Night, but somehow it was a quick downfall once he moved to the Late Show. I just don't find him funny at all anymore. As good as Carson was, I thought Conan was the best host of the Tonight Show. Unfortunately, not many agreed because his rating weren't good. Although, I'd have to wonder what would happen if they put him back there today.
Craig Ferguson is probably the one late night host who is even more genuine than Conan. His show, Join or Die, was a lot of fun, I wish it lasted longer.
Lol, Seth Meyers has a fan base that religiously watches him air their complaints and corrections to an empty studio, and sends him homemade artwork as gifts, which he opens on camera. GTFO with this narrative.
Conan's decision to ditch TV and focus on his podcast show was a blessing in disguise. The podcast showed us an even more authentic man. I love and appreciate Conan as an artist, a comedian, and a true human being.
Conan asking rooney mara that she hates to be sung happy birthday to and then genuinely relating to that is so cool. Other talk show hosts would have taken the moment to make her the butt of the joke but conan attempted to let her introduce herself to people. Thats why Conan is so cool.
Any other talk show host would have used that as an excuse to sing happy birthday to her. Because nothing says comedy like making your guests feel awkward and upset. 🙄
@@TheAngryPotatoNone of these shows were about "interviews." They were just promotions wrapped in entertainment, and Craig was excellent at it for regular (normal) people. Sadly, most people prefer fast food, regardless of the ingredients.
Describing Jimmy Kimmel's political humorduring an election year: "Audiences hated it." *Shoes a clip of fans loudly cheering for a joke about Donald Trump*
Umm...Craig Ferguson is also wildly loved (still) by his fanbase, and definitely had the most heart while maintaining an understandable contempt for the Hollywood machine.
I still think Ferguson was the best late-night-format talk show host of his time. Amazingly genuine person. It's sickening that late night creep Corden was cast to fill that spot.
I owe Conan an apology. For years i thought he was serious when he was messing with his staff and not just fooling around. I avoided his show like a plague, refusing to support a guy who treat his staff like shit. I was so embarrassed when friends pointed out he was the opposite. I missed out on a lot of comedy. Sorry Conan! You are awesome
Now you get to watch so many of his best interviews and remotes for the first time. I keep rewatching them and wishing I could watch them for the first time again 😂
Just blows my fxcking mind that an obvious comedy talk show fooled you into believing that he is unironically committing unlawful acts towards his employees, literally risking his reputation and career, IN FRONT OF A FXCKING CAMERA. 🤯 Are you okay? How many seats were in the bus you took to school?
The dig at Craig Ferguson is pretty ridiculous as the criticism of this vid is on authenticity. Craig Ferguson was the definition of authentic to the point of deconstructing the whole late night genre. I never found Ferguson to be "in love with his own voice". The fact he walked away without drama while at the top of his game is proof of that. Always found the late late show with Ferguson more interesting and intellectually engaging than Connan. I always drift to clips of Ferguson's interviews years after he's off air. I only come across Connan to rewatch the Norm MacDonald bits.
I agree completely. Its jealously on Moons part, Ferguson has 10 points in charisma(girls wanted him, guys wanted to be him). Moon cant handle the fact that if he didn't cover interesting topics, noone would click to listen to his boring monotonous narration irregardless of his gay love letter to O'Brien 😂
Yeah this Brit is just trying to slip his way into US culture wars and revealed at multiple points how little he actually understands, misunderstanding cues, making huge assumptions and really reaching at multiple points. Whatever gets a view and a like, though, amirite?
@@guitarpop Yeah, it's pretty obvious, but TH-cam is nearly all amateurs that barely have a GED. Pretty much no one is qualified to speak on anything on youtube unless their channel is about their actual day job/career. TH-cam "journalism" is a joke and is extremely self referential. TH-camrs report youtube news and show how out of touch with reality they actually are when they cover mainstream stuff from the real world, like this. It happens almost every time, every yter. A brit mispronouncing a proper noun is a lot less cringe than the 90% of my fellow americans that can't say any word with more than 2 syllables. TBPH any yter that says everything perfect does so because they found out the hard way in the comment section. All gross generalizations^ but I am not wrong, am I? lmao Whatever gets a view!
Wait until he gets to Channing Tatum's fear of "Pork-Elaine" dolls. I'm now primed to assume any mispronunciation is done purposely to drive engagement because YT doesn't distinguish between positive and negative engagement.
Actually that was a good joke from Kimmel mocking and exposing Drumpf...so rich people and celebrities coming to late night shows "preaching" is not ok, but a rich, narcissist, lying, conman celebrity becoming a political candidate is completely ok...got it!

Kimmel wasn't funny on The Man Show, Adam kept that alive. What is funny is how My Virtue Signal can't remember that having a 12-year old boy secksually proposition women, or trying to buy booze, or having mostly naked women jumping on a trampoline is where he got his start.
he has the joker laugh. The joker hair. The gangly joker frame. the face structure, even the joker's mannerisms. We're in the timeline where the guy who became the joker was actually funny.
Fun fact, because I would interrupt the prettiest girl at the place we both worked at from her watching Conan O'Brien I got her to go on a date with me. Fast forward 20+ years, still with that beautiful woman.
Quick story RE Corden. A friend worked backstage at ITV (a UK TV channel). She was one of the people that welcomed the guests and made sure they were prepped with hair and makeup, knew the running order etc (production assistant?). He turned up late and was offish and very blunt with everyone, which wasn’t unheard of for celebrities. What was appalling however, was when this woman was speaking to him and running through the plan, he interjected, interrupting her mid-flow to say “did we have sex the other day?”. She was completely taken aback and didn’t respond. Not backing off, he continued looking at her and said “I’m trying to remember where I know you from”, as if asking a complete stranger if they had sex was a normal introduction or in any way a normal way to speak. He was quickly whisked away and when she told people about it more came out about his horrendous behaviour towards women. He is an absolutely disgusting human being and shouldn’t be anywhere near tv.
I feel that this evaluation requires a contrast to John Stewart. John is highly respected and maintains a large fan base. He's as authentic as Conan, but he's able to do the political humor. I feel the reason he can do so is that he approaches his politics from a place that resonates with the majority of Americans - with a disdain of both parties while promoting politics which actually help people. Most people aren't believers in either party, so going full hog for liberalism does make many of the others look like partisan hacks. This said - defending Lewis CK in this video is weak.
His character was political; it was an explicitly political show, albeit satire rather than preaching. Late night is a stage for entertainment but get co-opted into an editorial soapbox.
I mean this YT channel is clearly conservative, almost asking everyone to be watching inert content or FOX news. Such a hate boner for anyone who has Liberal views.
@@NinjaAdorable Talk about hyperbolic. I failed to see the "hate boner" when commenting on liberal hosts that have different views, let alone hosts that brow beat you with their views. Kimmel is especially caustic, and he was very polite when talking about him. He praised Conan for knowing that as an entertainer, his role isn't political commentary vs. Political jokes, but again he does it smartly and doesn't rely on it. The only hate bones I see is you on conservatives, as the channel may have conservative leaning, you immediately project what you do by having trying to throw imaginary facts out.
The big change with Colbert is that he controlled every aspect of The Colbert Report. When he moved to The Late Show he tried to do the same thing over there, but it's such a huge operation he got crushed under its weight and gave up control and vision.
In my opinion, Connan is the only Talk Show Host who can handle Bill Burr with respect and levity. Together, they're both brilliant and hilarious! Such great laughs, and memories.
I think it's because Bill actually respects him, it's hard to be a total dingus to a man you respect for their integrity. Although to be fair, even if someone hated him, I think Conan makes it hard to be rude to him anyway, like nice Deadpool he makes himself the butt of jokes that you have little to work with when it comes to weaponizing comedy against them. It wouldn't surprise me if the character was based on Conan himself but idk.
Colbert and Bill burr are actually very close friends. They come from the same circle of people. You should do some research. Bill Burr is well respected within that circle. No other comedians talk shit about Colbert. Colbert is one the greatest to ever to do it. He makes fun of Trump so well too.
@@XRioteerXBoyX Yea and often it showed...Hows things? Hows it going? Kept talking about the horse...Secretiat or something:) I loved Craig but Conan was amazing..No matter the situation he was amazing...Especially those travel shows...
My friends and I used to have yearly parties called "Conapalooza". It was just us with hanging out watching episodes of Conan, cosplay as him and celebrity guests and pretending to put on a talk show, and eating cake that we baked and decorated ourselves with the cartoony Conan head logo😂
Conan O'Brien is by FAR my favorite late night host, and one of my all time favorite hollywood personalities. He just seems like such a hilarious and decent human being. Coco 4 life!
This makes a lot more sense. I’ve met employees who’ve worked on the Conan show and they had nothing but praise working for him. That’s just good business right there
The latter half of this segment shifted quite a bit from the actual topic of Conan. It went from the first half discussing how Conan treats those close to him, to almost lashing out at every host for every worst quality of them. It became about politics, and not Conan. Yes, the other hosts will never be like Conan, but that just makes our experiences concerning him (i.e. watching him on TV or any real-life encounters with the man) all the better. We shouldn't dwell on how the other hosts are bad in our eyes, because they still have their audiences, and we're probably related to them, be they someone who watches John Oliver or Bill Maher.
John Oliver is funny until he talks about a topic that you're more informed about, and then you suddenly see the monster. I'd agree that the video could go deeper into talking about Conan but I also think the context of the other mainstream hosts matters as a point of comparison for who Conan is
Conan to his staff is like that annoying big brother that always picks on you during good times. But he is also that reliable big brother that ALWAYS have your back during hard times.
For me, the talk show greats are Carson, Letterman, Conan & Ferguson. You know what they all had in common? They pretty much entirely kept politics out of their shows. Check out all the hosts now whom every clip says some variant of "Drumpf bad". Special nod to Dick Cavett, also an excellent interviewer.
Dude, the "Maybe she was a construction worker" line was just a freaking joke. Really? You call that "virtue signaling"? You can praise Conan without trashing everyone else on the planet. I'm not a fan of many of those other hosts, but this just seems like a political hit piece.
This is kinda off topic but kinda not. I really don't like Jimmy Fallon as a comedian, actor, or late night host. That high energy dorky type of comedian just doesn't do it for me in anyway. He is just annoying to me and insanely not funny. That is all...carry on scrolling through the comments lol
Yep, totally a tryhard. Honestly the only thing I ever liked Fallon in his entire career was his serious cameo in Band of Brothers. He never looks to me like he's having fun anyway. Maybe he should try drama.
@@JamesRDavenport I forgot he was in that show lol. I was surprised when I saw him too. I was like, "Wait, that's Jimmy Fallon! It was very short but he was good in it.
Ellen is not a good person, but I don't think refusing to have people who made gay jokes on her show is really a problem. Like... duh, she didn't wanna do interviews with people who would not respect her. and as for the 'has fun at her guests discomfort' this... is pretty normal- the issue is that it is not prenegotiated. Ex- the whole draw of hot ones (and alot of late night games) are founded around making someone just a little uncomfortable.
Probably engagement farming, tbh. Fucking up words that nobody mispronounces is a pretty common tactic to get people commenting, because YT doesn't distinguish between positive or negative engagement. Honestly, kinda regretting watching this video now because it fed the algorithm for him. He's dumping a lot of stuff in here that makes it pretty clear he's trying to play both sides, rather than actually be neutral and present the facts.
Dont forget Craig Ferguson! Him, Conan, Johnny, even David are miles above these late night pandering fools. I tried and just cannot stand any of them. Such a waste.
When the guy who made this video no longer agreed (enough) with his politics I guess That part of the video just reeks of "I dislike your politics, therefore you're bad"
Seth is the only other late night host who I think is likely as genuine as Conan A lot of his writers have been with him for years, indicating he’s probably a good boss. He also takes time to make sure viewers know who the writers are, whether it be giving them screen time for sketches or poking fun at them with his “Surprise Inspection” bits He’s also good about not talking over guests and just going with the flow when they start telling stories, rather than trying to adhere to the question cards
Parts of this just feel more geared towards hating other hosts than lifting up Conan. Especially the political part. I get a lot of late night hosts are definitely fake and performative about it, but just because some disagree and are more open about it doesn't mean they suck because of that?
The fact that you got criticism and accused of being a “trumper” (like it’s the worst thing) simply for disliking two very liberal talk show hosts who genuinely suck, tells me the masses are so brainwashed to the point of insanity. It’s truly a spectacle to behold, and frightening.
Conan understands the power of comedy and the power he has over people as a comedian. He knows he could completely annihilate anyone with his words, but chooses not to (at least most of the time, anyway).
@@g_punisher035Lol that dude doesn’t even care to know his own tv crew I doubt he reads TH-cam comments, he’s probably abusing some wait staff somewhere.
@@CaleebTalibStill worth to remind the a hole. To this day can’t understand what the Brits saw in him that made him funny that was considered funny enough to be on one of our late night shows. To me he always seems to have an immaturity about him and apparently not tact enough to not let his ego get carried away when he got to Hollywood. Feel like we’ve been robbed, we could have had Hugh Laurie quality comedian.
hey hey NO I watched this whole thing HOW DARE YOU INCLUDE CRAIG FURGUSON with the rest. He was exactly the same as Conan, stuck to thier own brand of comedy and just had fun. Heck Craig tears up the question list everytime, and I mean the Skeleton... You should make a follow up to this video about CRAIG!
Honestly kind of a terrible video ... AI voice which messes up on multiple occasions, surface level research, BS thesis, clickbait title ... ironically the only reason its going to perform well is because Conan is legendary and creative, unlike this video
I was in a wheelchair when I met him. He said "hey Wheels!! Get out of the way, some people are trying to walk." Then pushed me out of the way and down a small ramp. As I rolled away I could hear him laughing. Worst experience ever.
This video really understated just how dirty Jay Leno and NBC did Coco. The whole thing where they put Leno on a new show 30 mins before The Tonight Show with Conan just really cut him off at the knees and Jay was caught sneaking around going to press events for Conan's run casting doubt on the new show and saying they should ask for Jay back. I understand Jay not wanting to go, but you cannot make an agreement like that and agree to the changeover and then welch on the agreement at the end of it. It is a special kind of revolting.
I think that Seth Meyers has really improved his show since the confinement. His Friday’s correction only directed to his TH-cam audience is a blessing of sarcasm and humor… you can really see how much he is enjoying it and hear and feel the respect he has for his crew and how they give it back to him… but of course, Conan is the best
A random out of the blue hack job on Jimmy Fallon and other hosts feels like a political hit piece rather than a show of support for Conan. I’m not fan of any talk show Conan, Fallon or anyone else, but this video is very suspicious.
I grew up with Conan, staying up way too late for an elementary schooler to watch "Yeah-boo the bear" and all his other whacky shenanigans. Conan and Craig were pure, unadulterated goodness. The fact that the entire works of these incredible comedians arent archived is criminal.
17:19 "His laughter now feeling so forced..." I've been saying this for years. And people want to instead choose to not fall into what I was seeing. Not for fear of whether I was right or not. But that it would delude their view and vision of Fallon. Jimmy Fallon is the definitive CLOWN of late night gigs. Everything he does is to make fun and to poke at people. He doesn't have it in him or his writing planning to properly honor and praise people legitimately. It always has to have some sort of "comedic" twist. Like congratulating someone for their milestone birthday (20, 30, 40, 50 years old, etc). Sure, looks earnest and even thoughtful. Oh but wait! "In celebration of your phenomenal birthday, we got you a little something," and has a crew member or two wheel out some gag for the guest to get ambushed by so everyone can laugh about it. Jimmy Fallon couldn't respect people because he chooses not to. His whole career is built around not respecting people.

I got to meet Conan one time in an airport. I didn’t want to take up his time so I was very quick with my interaction but he stopped me as I was leaving and asked me if I wanted a picture. I also called him Mr. O’Brien and he said “Please. Please. You can call me Sir.” He’s a hilarious and genuine man from what I can tell.
I too met him in an airport. I was working there.
I've never met him
That's such a perfect Conan story. 😂
Should have said "sure, Sir O'Brien"
I love this story!!!!!
Conan’s most impressive trait is that he’s the only Harvard graduate who won’t tell you so immediately after being introduced.
those are the harvard graduates that are actually confident in themselves and their abilities. they don't need pathetic things like that.
He took a page out of Norm Mcdonalds book, and he knows that if you want a likable personality then don't act like the smartest person in the room even if you are.
I've met people who talk about people they know who went to Harvard 😂
You just need to tell them "that's an awesome community college."
That's understandable these days.
I went to a Conan taping in 2004 and we waited after the show to try and get a photo with him, he was so kind and funny in person, we asked “can we get a photo?”, he said “yeah hurry up I got a date with Paris Hilton tonight”
We said “wow really?” He said “no I’m going home alone” and then the cleaning lady came by and he was making wisecracks with her, truly a wonderful moment meeting him…
That entire story is SO Conan 😂😂
Yeah, that's definitely Conan right there. XDD
LOL hes the best
Sounds about Conan alright
Whats so important about an autograph or photo? Everyone puts their pants on one leg at a time!
An important part of Conan's hosting style is that he had always played the role of a jester, in comparison to other hosts (Jimmy Kimmel, Ellen, Larry King, Oprah etc) who want to look "good".
Viewers naturally feel closer to hosts that play a fool of themselves, and Conan got away with many rude antics (which has huge comedic effects), because we as viewers, have established the impression that Conan meant no harm.
💯 spot on
That and the fact he let people like Norm Macdonald run absolutely wild on his show. His whole rant on that Carrot Top movie while the actress playing in it is right next to him is still the funniest thing that ever happened on any talkshow.
Larry I'm on DuckTales
@@JohnnythefirstI always binge watch Norm McDonald and Bill Burr clips from Connan
Craig ferguson was good as well.
I’ve met Conan multiple times, all of them on accident. Twice at an airport, once on the street of NY and a different time when he came into a place I worked at. After the first two times he actually remembered my name. When I saw him the last time at the place that I worked I joked, “it’s like the universe is saying something to us” and he said “Yeah it’s saying ‘stop stalking me’” hes such a genuine person and makes such quick remarks. He made everyone at my work laugh and was so kind to everyone. Such a legend.
Great story! I assume you really mean "by accident" and not "on purpose".
@@helbent4 I mean, to have him visit your workplace is a guaranteed accident

I met Conan at a former coworkers wedding. My former coworker's mom was his nanny. He was with his daughter. I wasn't sure if it was appropriate to go up while the wedding was going on. But he was so inviting and genuine. He couldn't stay long. But the fact he came out to his Nanny's son's wedding and had a good time. Says a lot. James Corden doesn't even know his drivers name

Bro, he lost his dream job, but in doing so get his staff nearly $50m in severance and took them all with him to his next gig, where he could do whatever he wanted and smashed the ratings his way. He went from winning to winning and managed to help his entire staff win as well, and launched entire-ass careers. The man is a legend.
He's the opposite of most elitist hollywood cunts.
12 million but yeah he's definitely a legend.
@@EikottXD Was it only $12m? I thought the total severance was the remainder of his contract payout, which was like $49.8m?
Edit: I just checked - he got $45m plus he was paid for the shows he already did.
One thing I love is that history will remember him in a way it'll forget the other hosts. Late night is a dying medium, but Conan transcends that scene. He's genuinely so funny and talented. I feel like a lot of newer comics are heavily inspired by him - even youtubers like Drew Gooden are clearly heavily inspired by his style.
He is from Harvard he knows how to make a deal. If there is one thing we learn at Harvard, it is how to make deals with others. My wife is from the Japanese Equivalent of Harvard, when the landlord of the shitty flat we were living in (and i mean really shitty with roaches and the laundry machine outside the flat), decided to sell the place to a developer, she made a deal with the landlord and made them pay for the entire moving, for the relocation for the first 6 months rent of our next place (and boy the next was pure luxury) and she made them pay her 150 000 dollars (in yen) or we were going nowhere or dragging them to court and asking for 10 times that amount. The landlord couldn't believe how good she was, and that someone so educated would rent such a crap apartment. He thought he was just leasing to broke uneducated people. We had just rented the place because we had just moved back to Japan and hadn't gotten jobs yet and needed the cheapest place to live that we could afford as students.
Never underestimate the power of education. When you know all the laws and rights and tricks and all the loopholes you are the most powerful person in the game.
I think Kimmel genuinely hates trump, he doesn't fake it.
Agreed. I think his monologues are usually genuinely funny, but not for everyone.
This video gives me bad right wingy vibes. I appreciate Conan but he isn’t perfect (see: him being weird to Nicole scherzinger), and this dude is seriously demonizing Ellen, a lesbian, for not having a dude who made homophobic remarks on her show for not “agreeing with her views” be so for real there’s a lot wrong with Ellen but that isn’t one of them
@@orangeants Glad it wasn't just me. Several parts of the video seemed to frame or demonise people and their beliefs in a way that just assumed you shared the creator's prejudices about the world, but those prejudices seem to stem from hanging around a bit too much with narrow minded folk & media online and not actively being challenged by others. Appreciating people as irrational mixes of disingenuous and genuine passion.
@@orangeants”right wingy vibes” just listen to how dumb you sound. Everything he said was right all the late night hosts in America are trash and sold their soul to Israel and Democratic Party. What once used to be an avenue to better help people after work has turned into a let’s talk about trump and American politicians all day that’s why so many Celebs out of the American political range don’t go back
@@orangeantslmao cry me a river no one likes liberal propaganda
My youth pastor used to tell the story all the time, he was in New York and randomly saw Conan O'Brien walking down the street, surrounded by a giant circle of fans wanting his autograph. Keep patiently waiting and asked if he could please have his autograph, he said sure thing, signed it for him, and my youth pastor said thank you so much. Conan stopped dead in his tracks, looked him right in the eyes and said " you're the first person to thank me today" and gave him a very genuine hug.
He said that such a small gesture of kindness can go a long way, that although he's a celebrity he is also a very genuine human being just like everyone else, which leads me to believe every positive story I have ever heard in my life about Conan O'Brien.
What a lovely personal experience. Thanks for sharing.
I can't imagine getting an autograph or a photo with a celebrity and then just walking away without saying thank you. That's crazy!
John Candy was the same way.
@@somethingelsedoesmatter A detail i forgot was that he said that he was surrounded by people wanting his autograph, with autograph books and pictures of Conan just shoving it in his face surrounding him, which he assumed were people wanting his autograph to possibly resell
@@vtrevino317 that makes more sense, KINDA... People should still use manners and say thank you. Conan is a class act, either way.
Conan is the guy who acts like a dick on screen, but a sweetheart when nobody is watching. The opposite of most late night hosts
well said.
Except for the Haiti thing...
Jimmy Kimmel is a d--k wad!! Wish he would leave the country like what he and his Hollyweird comrades said they would do when Trump was in the oval office. Hypocrites and condescending!
@motherurck7542 yes I'm sure you never made a mistake in your life before, you're so perfect 😂
@philswift795 my mistakes aren't broadcasted to millions of people.
Conan's humor is evergreen. Other hosts rely so heavily on topical humor and gimmicky jokes, while Conan's humor is genuinely timeless. I've been a fan of his since I was a kid in the 90's and he's still the best many years later.
Conan is actually funny
I've only discovered and watched parts of his shows recently, the humourous sketches and bits outside, but they indeed feel timeless and sincere
everything late night tv isn't
The vid bizarrely did my boy Craig Ferguson dirty for half a second at the end. He was hilarious and a good interviewer and _never_ topical; reminds me the most of Conan. Did a lot with very little they gave him on the show. They never really made a word of case against him but just threw in the visual for half a second in the vid's closing seconds. Weird.
That's what he says he aims to do. He likes to make jokes that aren't topical and can last. Evergreen is the word he uses too.
“In the Year 2000…” I remember watching that segment when I was 9 years old. 😂 Conan is the best.
Don't you dare bring Craig Ferguson into this. The man is a treasure, and his interviews ( especially with actresses ) were hilarious.
That said, Conan during the writer's strike was what really set him apart from everyone else. He took his own absurd humor, cranked it up to 11, and just rolled with it. I remember when he put his desk on a scissor lift. Who else would've done that? No one. The man is one of a kind.
Craig is a king 🤴 🙌🏻
Miss him so much
@@notsorry3631 It all came crashing down when he left the Late Late Show.
Conan is the best, but Craig Ferguson was great too.
I came here to say this. I was 100% with the video creator until he lumped Craig in with the rest of them at the end.
@@MrLovegrove I wish he didn't do that. He didn't say anything about him in the video, but showing him at the end like that was messed up.
This is great. I feel the same about Craig Ferguson. When most late night hosts were making fun of Britney Spears for shaving her head and the umbrella video, Craig said he saw someone that needs help. He brought up his own battles with alcohol & drugs and that he could relate to her.
Didn’t know that. That’s very humane of him. Leno always seemed like a dick to me
Very much this👆 I'm not a fan of her music but when Craig presented this view of her and how relatable it was to many of us I respected him a great deal.
herd mentality remember it was okay to make fun and get easy laughs because thats what everyone wad doing, if loads of people were going oh poor britney they would be doing the same thing
No one cares
@@CheetosReef You are a sad, strange little man.
Craig Ferguson was 1st class. That's why he left Hollyweird.
I miss him, he was a great host too 💔
I still remember his Peter Jackson King Kong joke. He's all....
Yeah just watch the first twenty mins then go sneak into brokeback mountain. If you're into that. Then go back after forty five mins. Better yet just wait til it's on dvd and go to the scene, Kong arrives.
Idk why I found that SO funny.
If Conan and Craig ever got together, I wouldn't be able to handle it lol
Craig could've just done a monologue for his entire show he was so good....I did love all the interview he'd do with beautiful actresses. Conan is great as well, but Craig was a bit funnier imo.
Yes! I balked at him being included in the list of failures. He bailed when Letterman retired rather than deal with what he knew was coming. And boy was he right.
The fact he fired someone for being mean to server says a lot about his character
1000%
Conan, Jon Stewart, Stephen Colbert, Seth Meyers, and John Oliver are all acknowledged as having supremely good relationships with their writers and production staff, and are considered pillars of the late night entertainment industry. All of them have during various strikes, gone out of their way to guarantee their staff were paid properly, either out of their own pockets or by doing extra work to earn the cash they need. Colbert makes a point of having his staff make appearances on the program (as does Conan and Seth Meyers), with Colbert offering congratulations to the various staff members on air whenever someone gets engaged, married, or has a child. Colbert also early on recognized the genius of Jon Baptiste, and the world owes a collective thanks to him for giving him a huge break, doing the same thing for his crew that Jon Stewart did to his peers when he was the full time host of The Daily Show. To me it is also telling that whenever former Conan staff have gone onto other things, they end up working with Colbert. There is NOTHING fake about Colbert, and he (not CBS) is the executive of his show. Whereas his character on The Colbert Report was a character he was playing, and as such could get away with being more irreverent, rude, and would pursue a narrative story of the wider program. And your wise crack about the dome at the Ed Sullivan Theatre? IT'S A PROJECTION. IT CHANGES EACH NIGHT.
Wow-Stephen, is that you?
@@CyndeLooWho funny.
Agree. He might have had a point early in the video but towards the end it’s like he’s just grasping at straws for ways to attack comedians whose political views he doesn’t share. Normally I would say that late night talk show hosts should limit the political commentary in their shows but we do not live in normal times. When your President is a walking, talking joke, it’s hard to resist using him in your act.
I was looking for THIS comment.... He's a hater on Colbert.. Nicely stated.
THANK YOU I thought I was going crazy. Colbert Report was a CHARACTER. The Bill Burr thing, ummm. Do we really need yet another lesbian home depot joke? That was old in the 00s when Will and Grace did it. Colbert calling that out isn't shilling for the producers, it's one comedian holding another accountable for a tired joke his producers were right to nix.
Conon and Craig Ferguson were the only late night hosts I ever bothered to actually watch.
Craig was the man. When he vibed with a guest it was always hilarious. I still watch the compilations from time to time.
And look how Hollywood treated them. Says a lot!
@@joelcruz9415 Craig was the only one who could keep up with Robin Williams. I frequently watch those the most.

No one but Conan could do those skits with Ice Cube and Kevin Hart. No one else has the authenticity and self confidence while also not taking himself so damned serious.
Being a fan of his starting on Late Night, I’m happy to see him getting the flowers he deserves.
i saiddd uhhh how much wood could a wood chuck chuck *beatbox noises*
Kevin Hart is a homophobe.
the thing that really makes that skit work is that he vibes HARD with them. any other host would feel forced and uncomfortable with it.
"How mad are you guys going to be if I order the Asiago Ranch Chicken Club?"
😂
His remote skit with a young female intern and Kevin Hart going to a pot shop remains one of the funniest things I have ever seen .
I thought this video was going to be about conan o'brien opinion, not about some random guy's opinion about late night show hosts
You can 100% tell which side of the political spectrum this TH-cam video creator falls on.
@@supersmoo7377Yeah and a quick look at his channel confirms it.
@@supersmoo7377being apolitical is, of course, itself a political opinion. However, there's a kernel of truth in the disgust toward the performative virtue that characterizes media, whether liberal or conservative. Corden and DeGeneres are clear examples that even progressive individuals should clock as duplicitous and self-serving.
Terminal centrism, perhaps. The frustrating part of any political discourse is happening upon someone who is only partially wrong.
I mean that's usually the main point of most of his content, and I'm not a big fan of most of it for that reason, even if I agree with a bit of it. However, in this case he's calling attention to the very real problem of entertainers overestimating their importance and conflating the job's goal of ENTERTAINING PEOPLE with preaching. There's nothing wrong with using your platform to comment on things and get people thinking critically about them (something that comedians like Carlin and Chappelle excelled at), but there is a stark difference between bringing something to people's attention and telling them what to think. It's important to Conan's success because he never fell for that trap and is always first and foremost an entertainer
There is a reason why O'Brien leaving The Simpsons caused a downhill in quality for 20+ seasons.
Nobody ever talks about this but you're absolutely right!
yea i remember those episodes when i was a little kid the simpsons was the best animated sitcom sad its not the same
I didnt know he worked on the simpsons thats cool!
I used to be a fan big fan of the Simpsons then Lisa started to preach and preach it felt like going to church
I have always said that. The best seasons were when Conan was writing for them.
For someone who likes to crush his enemies, see them driven before him, and to hear the lamentations of their women, Conan is a really chill guy.
😂😂😂😂
But what about Conan the Librarian?!?!
he knows what is best in life
And if he really isn’t.. then the hell with him!
Ain't no biz like show biz
When I met Conan, he came up to me and said "Get me a Denver omelette, I went to Harvard." Then, he spit at my feet. We were at the gym.

He still needs a friend! ;)

Late night shows died with Conan and Craig. I truly hope Jimmy Kimmel is right that there won't be any late night shows in 10 years because they're all terrible now.
The only talk show that matters today is Hot Ones. And Conan crushed that too. Brilliant episode
There won't be any in 10 years because network television will not be a thing in 10 years. Nobody really watches it anymore already.
Jimmy Kimmel was the beginning of the end. Jimmy is such a corporate sock puppet.
Yeah, Craig was good too.
Letterman and Jay were good for the most part.
Dave had some funny bits and recurring characters.
100% agree....Conan and Craig on TV, late at night every night while I was in high-school
Who the hell thought Jimmy Fallon was good?
He was fun early on. He has a genuinely funny personality, but he entered the talk show biz by signing a dotted line that would make him its bitch forevermore.
Imagine having the dream (and fan expectation) of wanting to carry Carson's legacy without even a fraction of the control Carson had during his tenure.
This haunted Leno too, but Fallon's contract is far more soul-crushing than Leno's ever was. I'm glad Jay got out of it before it destroyed his soul; but Fallon is fully steeped and forever pigeonholed in a way that I don't see much hope for his future in high profile entertainment once he leaves NBC.
So for now he's reduced to being a dancing monkey in a vicious loop that I hope he can one day grow enough balls to escape it.
He was funny on SNL
He was funny before the woke took over.
Yo you have a goated pfp
For anyone who wants a behind-the-curtain look at Fallon, search the vid “Zach’s Jimmy Fallon Story”. It’s the one with Newsboyz in the title.
The guy who told it (comedian and horror film writer-director Zach Cregger) did so on a livestream against his better judgment then took it down shortly after, but someone uploaded it here recently. Def changed my image of Fallon, and not in a good way.
I disagree about Conan not bringing up politics. He has mentioned a lot of times that he is anti-Trump. This is made more apparent in some of his remotes (segments where he goes to another place/country). I'm not hating on Conan. He is my favorite talk show host.
He was definitely less political than the others who made their whole shows about politics after Trump started running. They tried to be smart guys, doing cringe propaganda while he kept trying to be entertaining.
Yeah, he literally had Joe Biden and Hillary Clinton on his podcast, it's disgusting. I still love Conan, but interviewing ANY politician, regardless of their politics, is totally vomit inducing.
Conan always had something special and genuine about him that other modern late night "comedians" dont have. He was old school but at the same time his self depreciating humor was quite ahead of its time and hit hard with millennials like me. He's a rare breed and to this day can still make me laugh.
That's the crux of it -- he did well with Millenials, but he upset the delicate sensibilities of the Boomers. The Boomers cancelled Conan.
Funny you should say that as from my experience, Conan has always appealed much more to Gen Xers than the millennial generation.
@@interstellarsurfer especially conservatives everytime he pokes fun at Trump.
As someone from Gen-Z, Conan has always been one of my favourite comedians. Recently I introduced my fiance to Conan's work, and now we love sitting and binge watching Conan clips online. The man definitely shaped my entire sense of humour.
His self-deprecating humour isn't ahead of its time. It's just uncommon in US comedy.
What I loved is the fact he didn't want to exploit his friendship with Lisa Kudrow. The first few appearances, he treated her like a guest and wasn't too "chummy". Other hosts are shameless about their famous friends and don't really do their job properly as a result.
This is a really poignant take on this that I've never even thought about before.
I didn't even know they were buddies.

A little more context.....
Jennifer Garner said "snuck isnt word and you should know better Conan because you went to Harvard."
Which got a lot of the crowd laughing at Conan's expense. His background as a Harvard graduate has always been used against him as a way for people to say "this Ivy Leaguer thinks he's better than you!"
Which is ALSO a true story from the early days of him doing late night. One of the announcers in those days used to warm up the crowd before the show by using that same joke about being an Ivy Leaguer so he thinks he's better than you, which he's proven is NOT the case
Jennifer Garner also said that in a real snarky tone. I was glad he corrected her.

@@CongestedPike I'm definitely a rare one then since my dad's from the UK, but I get your meaning
I would rather say that Conan has proven not that he thinks he is better, but that he _is_.
I am old enough to have enjoyed Johnny Carson. The only other one I enjoyed was Conan. Screw NBC for what they did to him.
Exactly my thoughts while watching this.
I only saw Johnny when they would rerun his daily shows from the 70’s late at night on a cable channel. He was hilarious. I liked Leno, Letterman and Conan too.
I loved Letterman when he was on Late Night, but somehow it was a quick downfall once he moved to the Late Show. I just don't find him funny at all anymore. As good as Carson was, I thought Conan was the best host of the Tonight Show. Unfortunately, not many agreed because his rating weren't good. Although, I'd have to wonder what would happen if they put him back there today.
@sharkboy6952 well said, friend. Couldn't agree more. I quickly stopped enjoying Letterman in the CBS years. He was amazing with nbc.
Weird, wild stuff.
22:39 don’t you dare lump in Craig with these psycho hosts.
Exactly what I was going to say! Donchu dare!
I even stopped to double check. Lol. I will say that as the years passed he became a better interviewer.
Craig Ferguson is probably the one late night host who is even more genuine than Conan. His show, Join or Die, was a lot of fun, I wish it lasted longer.
I agree. Craig is my second favorite host.
Craig is second to Conan. He should not have been mentioned in the same conversation with these other terrible hosts.
Lol, Seth Meyers has a fan base that religiously watches him air their complaints and corrections to an empty studio, and sends him homemade artwork as gifts, which he opens on camera. GTFO with this narrative.
I was looking for a fellow jackal.. Its wild i feel like he's more like a youtuber at times now xD
Conan's decision to ditch TV and focus on his podcast show was a blessing in disguise. The podcast showed us an even more authentic man.
I love and appreciate Conan as an artist, a comedian, and a true human being.
He was fired actually
@@1stHalf The TBS show contract ended and wasn't renewed.
Conan asking rooney mara that she hates to be sung happy birthday to and then genuinely relating to that is so cool. Other talk show hosts would have taken the moment to make her the butt of the joke but conan attempted to let her introduce herself to people. Thats why Conan is so cool.
Any other talk show host would have used that as an excuse to sing happy birthday to her.
Because nothing says comedy like making your guests feel awkward and upset. 🙄
Craig Ferguson.
Now we're talking, not this shite conan!
I liked Craig. But he was more of an entertainer than an interviewer.
Came here to mention Craig Ferguson as well. Literally him and Conan are/were the only good late night hosts
Careful Icuras
@@TheAngryPotatoNone of these shows were about "interviews." They were just promotions wrapped in entertainment, and Craig was excellent at it for regular (normal) people. Sadly, most people prefer fast food, regardless of the ingredients.

I avoided his show like a plague, refusing to support a guy who treat his staff like shit. I was so embarrassed when friends pointed out he was the opposite. I missed out on a lot of comedy. Sorry Conan! You are awesome
Admitting your were wrong or misunderstood something puts you in like the top 30% of intelligent people though.
Now you get to watch so many of his best interviews and remotes for the first time. I keep rewatching them and wishing I could watch them for the first time again 😂
@@kenzok9328 which i am doing right now while at work. Litening to him interview kevin nealon on team coco. Great stuff
Just blows my fxcking mind that an obvious comedy talk show fooled you into believing that he is unironically committing unlawful acts towards his employees, literally risking his reputation and career, IN FRONT OF A FXCKING CAMERA. 🤯 Are you okay? How many seats were in the bus you took to school?
Where did you even get that idea? 😮
Conan lying about the state of haiti was not good
The dig at Craig Ferguson is pretty ridiculous as the criticism of this vid is on authenticity. Craig Ferguson was the definition of authentic to the point of deconstructing the whole late night genre. I never found Ferguson to be "in love with his own voice". The fact he walked away without drama while at the top of his game is proof of that. Always found the late late show with Ferguson more interesting and intellectually engaging than Connan. I always drift to clips of Ferguson's interviews years after he's off air. I only come across Connan to rewatch the Norm MacDonald bits.
I agree completely. Its jealously on Moons part, Ferguson has 10 points in charisma(girls wanted him, guys wanted to be him). Moon cant handle the fact that if he didn't cover interesting topics, noone would click to listen to his boring monotonous narration irregardless of his gay love letter to O'Brien 😂
@@getbetter5907almost like something has to be interesting to make people want to watch it ✋🏻😲🤚🏻
What about your love letters to Ferguson?
You both obviously want his c*ck.
Too bad you'll need to take turns to suck it.
Craig?
Ah, fellow intellectuals, like myself.
Andy "Rich-ter"? Sounds like someone didn't watch Late Night with Conan O'Brien.
Yeah this Brit is just trying to slip his way into US culture wars and revealed at multiple points how little he actually understands, misunderstanding cues, making huge assumptions and really reaching at multiple points. Whatever gets a view and a like, though, amirite?
@@guitarpop Yeah, it's pretty obvious, but TH-cam is nearly all amateurs that barely have a GED. Pretty much no one is qualified to speak on anything on youtube unless their channel is about their actual day job/career. TH-cam "journalism" is a joke and is extremely self referential. TH-camrs report youtube news and show how out of touch with reality they actually are when they cover mainstream stuff from the real world, like this. It happens almost every time, every yter. A brit mispronouncing a proper noun is a lot less cringe than the 90% of my fellow americans that can't say any word with more than 2 syllables. TBPH any yter that says everything perfect does so because they found out the hard way in the comment section. All gross generalizations^ but I am not wrong, am I? lmao Whatever gets a view!

@@KimSalimVFX The Swedish-German sexual assault victim.
Wait until he gets to Channing Tatum's fear of "Pork-Elaine" dolls.
I'm now primed to assume any mispronunciation is done purposely to drive engagement because YT doesn't distinguish between positive and negative engagement.
Norm MacDonald was a legendary guest on Conans show.....
Ya dirty dog !
What a battle-axe.
Uncle Basil
Norm was legendary everywhere he went
I think *HE WAS A REAL JERK*
Actually that was a good joke from Kimmel mocking and exposing Drumpf...so rich people and celebrities coming to late night shows "preaching" is not ok, but a rich, narcissist, lying, conman celebrity becoming a political candidate is completely ok...got it!
a simple search can show how much Conan actually jokes and completely destroyed Drumpf

Damn you covered almost everything........
After checking again u definitely covered everything
He's a living legend. The only one to get close to Robin's energy
To be fair, Ellen never was funny to begin with and Kimmel sold out 20 years ago after the Man Show ended
BWAHAHAHAHAHAHA
I only liked her in Finding Nemo. And and everything else, nopitty nope nope
Nah, she's pretty funny
Kimmel sucked on the man show too.
Kimmel wasn't funny on The Man Show, Adam kept that alive.
What is funny is how My Virtue Signal can't remember that having a 12-year old boy secksually proposition women, or trying to buy booze, or having mostly naked women jumping on a trampoline is where he got his start.
I think you may be the only person who thinks Jimmy Kimmel is evil. That's just ridiculous
he has the joker laugh. The joker hair. The gangly joker frame. the face structure, even the joker's mannerisms. We're in the timeline where the guy who became the joker was actually funny.
Fun fact, because I would interrupt the prettiest girl at the place we both worked at from her watching Conan O'Brien I got her to go on a date with me. Fast forward 20+ years, still with that beautiful woman.
Thats Beautiful
Bless both of you❤
I'm happy for the both of you. It's very nice to hear
Some commas would help in that story
So you were the Interruptor
Quick story RE Corden. A friend worked backstage at ITV (a UK TV channel). She was one of the people that welcomed the guests and made sure they were prepped with hair and makeup, knew the running order etc (production assistant?). He turned up late and was offish and very blunt with everyone, which wasn’t unheard of for celebrities. What was appalling however, was when this woman was speaking to him and running through the plan, he interjected, interrupting her mid-flow to say “did we have sex the other day?”. She was completely taken aback and didn’t respond. Not backing off, he continued looking at her and said “I’m trying to remember where I know you from”, as if asking a complete stranger if they had sex was a normal introduction or in any way a normal way to speak. He was quickly whisked away and when she told people about it more came out about his horrendous behaviour towards women. He is an absolutely disgusting human being and shouldn’t be anywhere near tv.
Sounds like he has a date with a meat grinder.
I feel that this evaluation requires a contrast to John Stewart. John is highly respected and maintains a large fan base. He's as authentic as Conan, but he's able to do the political humor. I feel the reason he can do so is that he approaches his politics from a place that resonates with the majority of Americans - with a disdain of both parties while promoting politics which actually help people. Most people aren't believers in either party, so going full hog for liberalism does make many of the others look like partisan hacks.
This said - defending Lewis CK in this video is weak.
"The only last show host who is still loved" You dare besmirch the name of Craig Ferguson?!
Who??
Imagine thinking Colbert was less political on the Colbert Report, an offshoot of the Daily Show.
His character was political; it was an explicitly political show, albeit satire rather than preaching. Late night is a stage for entertainment but get co-opted into an editorial soapbox.
I mean this YT channel is clearly conservative, almost asking everyone to be watching inert content or FOX news. Such a hate boner for anyone who has Liberal views.
@@NinjaAdorable or its centrist and your just a walking hate boner for anything thats not what you think are "Liberal views".
@@NinjaAdorable Talk about hyperbolic.
I failed to see the "hate boner" when commenting on liberal hosts that have different views, let alone hosts that brow beat you with their views. Kimmel is especially caustic, and he was very polite when talking about him.
He praised Conan for knowing that as an entertainer, his role isn't political commentary vs. Political jokes, but again he does it smartly and doesn't rely on it.
The only hate bones I see is you on conservatives, as the channel may have conservative leaning, you immediately project what you do by having trying to throw imaginary facts out.
The big change with Colbert is that he controlled every aspect of The Colbert Report. When he moved to The Late Show he tried to do the same thing over there, but it's such a huge operation he got crushed under its weight and gave up control and vision.
In my opinion, Connan is the only Talk Show Host who can handle Bill Burr with respect and levity.
Together, they're both brilliant and hilarious!
Such great laughs, and memories.
bill burr and jon lovits
I think it's because Bill actually respects him, it's hard to be a total dingus to a man you respect for their integrity. Although to be fair, even if someone hated him, I think Conan makes it hard to be rude to him anyway, like nice Deadpool he makes himself the butt of jokes that you have little to work with when it comes to weaponizing comedy against them. It wouldn't surprise me if the character was based on Conan himself but idk.
@@ChristelVinot
That John Lovitz podcast, is one of his best features!
Freaking amazing!
They were killing it!
@@Abbey_Senna ikr
Colbert and Bill burr are actually very close friends. They come from the same circle of people. You should do some research. Bill Burr is well respected within that circle. No other comedians talk shit about Colbert. Colbert is one the greatest to ever to do it. He makes fun of Trump so well too.
15:28 missed opportunity to say “i guess the dictionary just SNUCK in there”
CRAIG FERGUSON…. Was a class of his own tbh
So true! Craig was really something special to watch. No cards of questions, just conversations.
@@XRioteerXBoyX Yea and often it showed...Hows things? Hows it going? Kept talking about the horse...Secretiat or something:) I loved Craig but Conan was amazing..No matter the situation he was amazing...Especially those travel shows...
100% agree!
Conan around the year 2008-2010 was complete fire. Me and my friends would go out of our way to watch it and we don't even watch TV.
My friends and I used to have yearly parties called "Conapalooza". It was just us with hanging out watching episodes of Conan, cosplay as him and celebrity guests and pretending to put on a talk show, and eating cake that we baked and decorated ourselves with the cartoony Conan head logo😂
Throughout the late night tv host Conan is my god damn spirit animal.
"...before taking over all of the entertainment industry". What kind of mental gymnastics do I need to do to believe that?
Conan O'Brien is by FAR my favorite late night host, and one of my all time favorite hollywood personalities. He just seems like such a hilarious and decent human being. Coco 4 life!
@ 12:26 - PORK-A-LANE ? i have never heard anyone pronounce PORCELAIN like that lol
Beat me to it 😂
They get names wrong on purpose to make us speak about it in the comment section. Makes the algorithm algo apparently
It's an AI voice program. Not him.
AI is still learning to read properly. Probably.
Came to say the same thing.. 😂
This makes a lot more sense. I’ve met employees who’ve worked on the Conan show and they had nothing but praise working for him. That’s just good business right there
You can tell as well since they stick with him for years
Conan>Letterman>Carson (Johnny)>Leno>everyone else
The latter half of this segment shifted quite a bit from the actual topic of Conan. It went from the first half discussing how Conan treats those close to him, to almost lashing out at every host for every worst quality of them. It became about politics, and not Conan.
Yes, the other hosts will never be like Conan, but that just makes our experiences concerning him (i.e. watching him on TV or any real-life encounters with the man) all the better. We shouldn't dwell on how the other hosts are bad in our eyes, because they still have their audiences, and we're probably related to them, be they someone who watches John Oliver or Bill Maher.
John Oliver is funny until he talks about a topic that you're more informed about, and then you suddenly see the monster. I'd agree that the video could go deeper into talking about Conan but I also think the context of the other mainstream hosts matters as a point of comparison for who Conan is
Not particularly surprising to see politics in a Moon video, even when the link is tenuous. Same as talking about Hollywood puppets..
Yeah this video quickly went from Very good to inadequate, ironically doing the same thing he's insinuating the hosts are doing
@@CrocaluGot an example?
It's called comparison.
Some viewers don't know about these hosts and could use a little benchmark.
Conan to his staff is like that annoying big brother that always picks on you during good times.
But he is also that reliable big brother that ALWAYS have your back during hard times.
Love Conan, but can we all agree Craig Ferguson should be in the same category as Conan?
Yep
Absolutely.*
For me, the talk show greats are Carson, Letterman, Conan & Ferguson. You know what they all had in common? They pretty much entirely kept politics out of their shows. Check out all the hosts now whom every clip says some variant of "Drumpf bad".
Special nod to Dick Cavett, also an excellent interviewer.
Dick Cavett was one of the best interviewers ever. Didn't realize he still causing "problems" 😊
Dude, the "Maybe she was a construction worker" line was just a freaking joke. Really? You call that "virtue signaling"? You can praise Conan without trashing everyone else on the planet. I'm not a fan of many of those other hosts, but this just seems like a political hit piece.
And you don’t think Colbert doesn’t virtue signal and spew political hit pieces on his show?
I’ve met his personal assistant who says nothing but the best things about him. He genuinely seems like a good person.
Don't forget Craig Furguson. He always put laughs first and was a genius.
This is kinda off topic but kinda not. I really don't like Jimmy Fallon as a comedian, actor, or late night host. That high energy dorky type of comedian just doesn't do it for me in anyway. He is just annoying to me and insanely not funny. That is all...carry on scrolling through the comments lol
Thank you 🫡
Very based opinion 🫡
Yep, totally a tryhard. Honestly the only thing I ever liked Fallon in his entire career was his serious cameo in Band of Brothers. He never looks to me like he's having fun anyway. Maybe he should try drama.
@@JamesRDavenport I forgot he was in that show lol. I was surprised when I saw him too. I was like, "Wait, that's Jimmy Fallon! It was very short but he was good in it.
Facts
Ellen is not a good person, but I don't think refusing to have people who made gay jokes on her show is really a problem. Like... duh, she didn't wanna do interviews with people who would not respect her.
and as for the 'has fun at her guests discomfort' this... is pretty normal- the issue is that it is not prenegotiated. Ex- the whole draw of hot ones (and alot of late night games) are founded around making someone just a little uncomfortable.
It’s weird that AI doesn’t know how to pronounce “porcelain”.
Probably engagement farming, tbh. Fucking up words that nobody mispronounces is a pretty common tactic to get people commenting, because YT doesn't distinguish between positive or negative engagement.
Honestly, kinda regretting watching this video now because it fed the algorithm for him. He's dumping a lot of stuff in here that makes it pretty clear he's trying to play both sides, rather than actually be neutral and present the facts.
Or, he just doesn’t know how to pronounce porcelain.
@@WalkerLarson497 pork-a-lin?
If that’s the case.. I could care less about this channel’s opinion on anything. Embarrassing.
@@theafterpartypartysurely you mean “couldn’t care less”? “could care less” means you might care a lot…
@@starlightiris I cared enough to make a comment on it. Not that deep, bro. Have a good one 🤙
Throwing a dig at Craig Ferguson at the end killed my opinion of this video.
Dont forget Craig Ferguson! Him, Conan, Johnny, even David are miles above these late night pandering fools. I tried and just cannot stand any of them. Such a waste.
When did Colbert sell his soul? His politics and personality are the same as 20 years ago.
Sometime around 2016
When the guy who made this video no longer agreed (enough) with his politics I guess
That part of the video just reeks of "I dislike your politics, therefore you're bad"
didn't know Seth had "sold his soul to Hollywood". He's the only one besides Conan who has a pretty loyal following.
His relationship with John Mulaney made me a fan.
He is making political fans so. I think he only makes video for USA and other west contries party.
He also has his own short form web series on TH-cam.
@@maxborn7400 But he calls Trump “weird” so he doesn’t fit the bullshit thesis of this video
Seth is the only other late night host who I think is likely as genuine as Conan
A lot of his writers have been with him for years, indicating he’s probably a good boss. He also takes time to make sure viewers know who the writers are, whether it be giving them screen time for sketches or poking fun at them with his “Surprise Inspection” bits
He’s also good about not talking over guests and just going with the flow when they start telling stories, rather than trying to adhere to the question cards
Haters: **bash on conan's cringy jokes**
Also Conan fans: **bashes on conan's cringy joke as well** 😂😂😂
Parts of this just feel more geared towards hating other hosts than lifting up Conan. Especially the political part. I get a lot of late night hosts are definitely fake and performative about it, but just because some disagree and are more open about it doesn't mean they suck because of that?
The fact that you got criticism and accused of being a “trumper” (like it’s the worst thing) simply for disliking two very liberal talk show hosts who genuinely suck, tells me the masses are so brainwashed to the point of insanity. It’s truly a spectacle to behold, and frightening.
What a profound comment, thank you, intellectual
Conan understands the power of comedy and the power he has over people as a comedian. He knows he could completely annihilate anyone with his words, but chooses not to (at least most of the time, anyway).
I love how this love letter to Conan was just secretly a way to complain about James Corden in a video
Shut up James Corden
@@g_punisher035Lol that dude doesn’t even care to know his own tv crew I doubt he reads TH-cam comments, he’s probably abusing some wait staff somewhere.
That's the point, to contrast Conan and other Late show hosts.
@@CaleebTalibStill worth to remind the a hole. To this day can’t understand what the Brits saw in him that made him funny that was considered funny enough to be on one of our late night shows. To me he always seems to have an immaturity about him and apparently not tact enough to not let his ego get carried away when he got to Hollywood. Feel like we’ve been robbed, we could have had Hugh Laurie quality comedian.
That's because Corden is trash and not even the brits want him back.
hey hey NO I watched this whole thing HOW DARE YOU INCLUDE CRAIG FURGUSON with the rest. He was exactly the same as Conan, stuck to thier own brand of comedy and just had fun. Heck Craig tears up the question list everytime, and I mean the Skeleton... You should make a follow up to this video about CRAIG!
Kimmel’s reputation wasn’t damaged nearly as much as you imply. Someone needed to call Trump on his bullshit.
Honestly kind of a terrible video ... AI voice which messes up on multiple occasions, surface level research, BS thesis, clickbait title ... ironically the only reason its going to perform well is because Conan is legendary and creative, unlike this video
FR i could've just read conan's fucking wiki
@@drewthedweeeb then read 8t
The only host I find funny, interesting and really amazing with his job.
And likable.
I was in a wheelchair when I met him. He said "hey Wheels!! Get out of the way, some people are trying to walk." Then pushed me out of the way and down a small ramp. As I rolled away I could hear him laughing. Worst experience ever.
you need to get a sense of humor- wheels!!!😂😂😂😂
This video really understated just how dirty Jay Leno and NBC did Coco. The whole thing where they put Leno on a new show 30 mins before The Tonight Show with Conan just really cut him off at the knees and Jay was caught sneaking around going to press events for Conan's run casting doubt on the new show and saying they should ask for Jay back. I understand Jay not wanting to go, but you cannot make an agreement like that and agree to the changeover and then welch on the agreement at the end of it. It is a special kind of revolting.
I think that Seth Meyers has really improved his show since the confinement. His Friday’s correction only directed to his TH-cam audience is a blessing of sarcasm and humor… you can really see how much he is enjoying it and hear and feel the respect he has for his crew and how they give it back to him… but of course, Conan is the best
Yeah I like how seth includes his writers, and wally.
Seth is pretty decent. He's as pro-worker as a corporate tool (said lovingly) can get.
Seth is another obnoxious ass with his politics.
Seth is legitimately the second un-funniest late night talk show host... second only to Corden.
Don't forget Wally
A random out of the blue hack job on Jimmy Fallon and other hosts feels like a political hit piece rather than a show of support for Conan. I’m not fan of any talk show Conan, Fallon or anyone else, but this video is very suspicious.
Conan was never my kind of comedian but I did respect that he always treat his guests properly and didn't try to upstage them.
I grew up with Conan, staying up way too late for an elementary schooler to watch "Yeah-boo the bear" and all his other whacky shenanigans.
Conan and Craig were pure, unadulterated goodness. The fact that the entire works of these incredible comedians arent archived is criminal.
23:08 You did NOT just lump Craig Ferguson in with the rest of these guys. Remove that too
I'm adding Conan to my list of celebs I legit want to meet. (Keanu Reeves, Terry Crews, Henry Cavil, Conan Obrian, Post Malone)
that's a solid list, all of them are very kind men
I ❤ Terry Crews!!
Love Conan but this vid sucks. He talked about Conan for less than 5 minutes and the rest about other hosts.
Exactly, besides obviously being in love with Conan, he also seems to love trump and hate every other host.
Not a peep about Bill Maher too, who's just as unfunny and preachy as Colbert but he talks shit about "the wokes" so this video doesn't complain
Yeah, and plus the title is completely clickbait? Was there even 1 instance of "idiot talk show host exposed by Conan"?
Lazy clickbait, guy doesn't know anything about Conan, he can't even pronounce Richter in this video.
17:19 "His laughter now feeling so forced..."
I've been saying this for years. And people want to instead choose to not fall into what I was seeing. Not for fear of whether I was right or not. But that it would delude their view and vision of Fallon.
Jimmy Fallon is the definitive CLOWN of late night gigs. Everything he does is to make fun and to poke at people. He doesn't have it in him or his writing planning to properly honor and praise people legitimately. It always has to have some sort of "comedic" twist.
Like congratulating someone for their milestone birthday (20, 30, 40, 50 years old, etc). Sure, looks earnest and even thoughtful. Oh but wait! "In celebration of your phenomenal birthday, we got you a little something," and has a crew member or two wheel out some gag for the guest to get ambushed by so everyone can laugh about it.
Jimmy Fallon couldn't respect people because he chooses not to. His whole career is built around not respecting people.
