This, folks, is what you can do with a History degree from Harvard.
Indeed.
@@AbrahamLincoln4 say thank you to conan, abe!!
Didn't he study literature?
He majored in American History, which was within the History & Literature concentration. At least, I think.
Augustine Fisher why are the replies here being repeated over and over again
I can't believe they got the real Lincoln
and he didn't age a day!
This is history we’re witnessing
Christian yes
His dance moves were spot on too.
Yes, he was resurrected using impossible meat
A thin tall man saving another thin tall man... Who needs the avengers.
Is that this tall man Kendall Roy
Sunbeam enthusiast.
He did it for God and Country!
he even played the song from thor ragnarok
Count me in.
Fun fact: Booth’s brother actually saved Lincoln’s son, Todd, from getting run over by a train well before the assassination.
The best guess that happened because they realized Lincoln was the main target to make it look like an accident. But since he wasn't there that day. They had to deliberately kill Lincoln.
Because his brother saved Lincoln's son less than a year before the assassination.
Ironically Robert was the only one to live through adult-hood all of Lincoln's other sons died at a very young age.
All of lincoln's other boys died at age 3,13 and 18. It's very sad. Two died of Tuberculosis and one of Typhoid
Also, Robert at three different times wasn't present an event of a presidential event. They have all been assassinated. It was a theory Robert was coordinating all the assassinations.
Robert eventually died of cerebral hemorrhage induced by arteriosclerosis.
Lincoln's wife was an opiate addict, which might have been the small factor of all their kids dying.
@@AllenHanPR this sounds like a lion king moment
@@AllenHanPR Wait what
His son’s name was Robert.
Give him my thanks.
Conan was more concerned about his shoes than about securing his helmet.
He was more concerned about his shoes falling off and hurting an audience member then himself getting hurt. What a dude.
@@ZombieAndroid than*
The shoes are software on the bottom to prevent injury.
@@ZombieAndroididk man the helmet could've fall off and hit someone as well
Fun fact: When they rehearsed this, they didn't use the rocket boots. So when they come back from commercial he was really worried about the guy playing John Wilkes Booth. He was ok, though.
How did you know this??
@@damayne9715 I saw this when it aired
That’s awesome
@@myandroid6116 let's not forget Ron Edwards of the KKK denounced Obama and supported McCain. or the fact that whoever runs Trump's twitter has retweeted white supremacists. there's racism on both sides of the aisle, and demonizing the other side not only exposes your confirmation bias, it's flat out un-american. but thanks for injecting politics into a nonpolitical comment thread, dumbass.
The fact that you care more about RvsD than the 192 years of history since the founding of the Democratic party is kinda sad.
When that Lincoln started busting out dancing. I was like unexpected laughter.
I was just not so ready for a dance out of the blue. Lmao!
Writer strike Conan was one of the best stretches of television I ever witnessed; just doing whatever crazy nonsense that came to their minds.
Writer strike lol. Crybabies who have great jobs that demand more. While kids around the world are starving to death
ChrisG- No they actually didn’t have such great jobs. Yes, what they were actually doing was good but they were really taken advantage of by the industry
@@ChrisGugliuzza You must be really fun to be around. Writers weren’t really paid well. That’s why they have a union. If they were paid well, there wouldn’t be a need for a union. The real crybaby is you.
Writers strike and they have one of their best writers still working :P
@ChrisGugliuzza I feel it's worth pointing out, Conan supported the strike and continued to pay them during it
"It is a northern crowd for you." 😂
The fake sponsorship joke never gets old, how?! He’s literally been doing it his entire career, and I still laugh.
HenGaoLaowai creep
You good bro?
@@JustSomeGuyOk ...Just shut up and everything will be ok
I don't think it's fake though. They get a small compensation I think.
But I feel Conan might have diverted the funds to a charity without mentioning it.
Cause whenever Ellen gets sponsored she gives it to the audience. Except her prizes are much more significant due to day-time television on the main timeslot and popularity of the giveaway.
This isnt fake. This is real!
*Imma show and tell my kids how Lincoln was actually saved.*
@@chris_francisco_g oml.
"I don't get it Andy. We keep trying to kill the show by doing the dumbest thing we can think of, but it doesn't seem to be working"
Little did they know Conan’s entire career has actually been syphoning off dumb and stupid shit to keep it alive all this time
I mean this was before it got cancelled, so it might have contributed.
Hiyuke La Vie Man....The Simpson’s must’ve taken a really hard toll on him
Somebody help me, im on a conan marathon and I CANNOT STOP
steven jobs let it happen
Same here pal! Can't stop either!
Conan O'Brien Can't Stop either!
You don't need help, you need encouragement
You never stop. You'll catch yourself watching Jordan being late to work after seeing it so many times. And it's still funny.
You could tell they never took themselves or the show too seriously, and that's what I loved about them.
Damn he actually took off pretty fast and that's quite the distance to zip line, this was a Tom Cruise caliber stunt!
Tom Cruise would've run down the stairs instead.
@@andreabruson5558 actually Tom Cruise would have run up and down the stairs several times ,climbed a cliff, stole a helicopter , and crashed into booth .
All with a sprained ankle.
@@whyisgamora846 and then he would have given tons of money to a cult that uses him as one of their main spokespeople
Mark Mcnally Dont forget he had an STD too
Conan really is a kid in a slightly more developed man’s body
DeShaune the word ‘more’ feels extraneous
Yep, annoying, doesn’t stop talking, and always interrupts
@@vinceemery5943 why are u watching if you dont like him?
A grown kid in a prepubescent body.
This is so stupid in the best way, lol. Knowing how much Conan actually is a history buff (And actually smart) makes this so much better
I remember watching this live during the strike. Some of the best moments in late night history happened in those couple of weeks.
This is the only skit I remember from Conan during the strike
The wedding ring spin world record attempts were my favorite part. Conan would kill of he ever wanted to move to a more improv type format (like Ferguson).
This is the stupidest thing ever. I love it so much.
Conan just altered the entire historical timeline!
He's the reason Trump was elected
Then I guess we should be thanking Conan
@@Daniel-mq3nf what I like about Conan he doesn't get too political.
Alicard Hellsing figured out he's a comedian and not an actor ? you win the game
Lincoln’s expression throughout killed me 😂
Brian McCann :)
“He’s the hero we deserve, but not the one we need right now”
I dont want to hear this from the Joker! Makes it sound so twisted 😂
Yo Huell you out from that house yet?
Yall should know that at the time John Wilkes booth was one of the worlds most famous actors, like the rock shooting trump, you realise how crazy it is he vibe checked him.
No, not really at all. The most famous actor in 1865 was nowhere near as famous as the most famous actor in the 2010s or 2020s. Not a 100th as famous. Not a 1000th. There was no internet or even TV. He was a STAGE actor, not an international blockbuster star.
So no, it was not like The Rock shooting Donald Trump.
He doesnt really look like me.
Abraham Lincoln Are you the real Abraham Lincoln
Matthew Bridges r u serious
Fake Abraham lincoln
@@matthewbridges3295 no he's the ungrave Lincoln
@@ifeoluwaongunyemiaweawe8403 No It's the real one
If you look at Conan’s face he looks early 40s at most. You look at his hands... he looks like the old lady from the Titanic
behold, the power of stage makeup
Sigh....It happens to us pale people. My hands look much older than my face. It's from years of not thinking to apply sunblock to my hands while driving my car. The rest of me is shaded, but the hands are not. Bummer!
To this day, this is still my favorite bit ever done on any late night show. Thank you for posting this!
You know that guy who submitted the idea has been waiting for the right moment to present his idea.
If anyone would be capable of saving Lincoln, it definitely would be Conan. The force of his legs alone would get Hercules jealous.
Imagine how confused Lincoln would have been if conan flew in through a time portal looking like that
Brian McCann just walking in as Lincoln already cracked me up.
I thought the Lincoln actor was too serious, but then I saw the dance at the end. Redeemed!
The Conan beard was such a treasure and this video just reminded me of how much I miss it. 😭
I love so much of what Conan has done, but the Writer’s Strike episodes were the most raw look at his comedic genius.
This sketch was my first memory of ever watching the show. Glad its on here in high quality
This skit speaks a lot about Conan. Fan devotion, something you've never seen on television before and a good dose of silliness.
Conan going back in time,wearing a jet helmet and boots on a zip line saving Abraham Lincoln as the Immigrant song plays in the background. That's the single most BadAss thing ever!!😂
This is how Rise of Skywalker should have ended.
God I miss the desk, the band, the backdrop, the mugs and just the whole old set
Edit: And Brian McCann ofcourse!
And the beard.
Don’t forget Joel and the Microphone
And Joel and Max, and the incomparable Brian Stack(imo wasted on Colbert's show), and Bob Smigel as Triumph....
Tbh, for my hit of comedy genius I go to Conan's podcast. It's genius.
Let's just say we miss NY Conan. He lost some of the edge after going to LA.
Homer J. S I’m going back in time to save Max Weinberg
I love how hard Conan kicked the JWB actor 🤣
I was expecting Conan to bump into him but he really hit with force.
The Oscar Mayer sponsorship sign is just the funniest thing; and the way it is simply stuck on over a tie! Haha
how does conan have less subscribers than kimmel or fallon? i just don’t understand
TH-cam Algorithm
The other late night shows literally pay for spots on the Trending page. Conan doesn't; when his clips hit trending, it's because they actually are!
Probably the same reason he has less writers than them too
I think bec they also get and can afford more famous people bec kimmel and fallon are on network tv, conan’s on cable
@@joanna1290 not even close.. the celebs that go on those shows are promoting things. They don't get paid to be there or with someone else over another a good actor of preformer will try to go to all of them an the greats do. The shows don't pay people to be there they communicate with the managers of the celebs to give all involved free promoting. That's how those host shows always all work.
Kudos to Conan for saving Lincoln
Something about the idea of zip-lining at great speed, feet-first, towards the American president, really chimes with the current zeitgeist, I don't know why.
it's because your life is meaningless
@@billmoyer3254 da fuCk
@@billmoyer3254 Everyone's life is meaningless mate, it's the tragedy of the human condition.
No
@@ssnabell Yup.
I'm crying with laughter. Thank you, Conan!
mccann as lincoln bursting into dance is the best way to end the sketch lol
I know he's one of the fittest men alive, but I'm pretty impressed with Conan's upper body strength.
Thank you for sharing one of my all-time favorite CoCo moments! Conan at his best!! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Lincoln gets saved by a rocket powered weenie. BRILLIANT!!!
Conan really looks good with the beard and without all the clown paint.. Keep this look 😁👍
B L Oh, I thought this was his current look... too bad
I’m so glad this was finally uploaded. I remember watching this during the writers strike and it was brilliant
I’m 19 (20 in March) and didn’t get a chance to see a lot of Conan content so I love getting the chance to watch it now! Love this man!!
Conan, the only late night show worth watching, everybody else is irrelevant. What a comedic genius. !
That Lincoln dance killed me 😆😆😆😂😂😂 !
Zip lining with no harness? Champ.
Tom cruise wouldn't even hold on to the outside of a flying airplane without a harness
Hes 2ft off the ground at most ..
all tv shows: shut down
Conan: ziplines to save lincoln
This was uploaded in February
I loved how they just danced at the end
Conan beard looks really good on him
Lol loved the Blues Brothers dance at the end! The Aykroyd dance was spot on!
That guy that’s playing Lincoln, just sitting expressionless he’s funny.
Now that was AWESOME!!!!
Say what you want about Conan but much respect to him and the crew for keeping the show going when the writers strike was going on back then. Shows how much of an entertainer this man is.
Conan kicked him all the way to the 5th dimension
𝕍𝕆𝕃𝔸𝕀ℝ𝔼 I thought the same thing. Booth disappeared so fast..lol
Conan wouldn’t be here had Lincoln been saved.
@5:30 I was dying laughing at abe Lincoln dance lmao💀💀
The most American video I've seen on youtube in a long time. Pure Gold. Hahaha👍😂😂😂
I bet if he did that today John Wilkes Booth would have been played by Jordan Schlansky
This was when Conan's show was at its peak. I can't watch the new shortened format on TBS
Thanks conan for saving me.
That’s totally how history happened. Right...
The dancing at the end 😂🤣
I need more of Lincoln doing his little Riverdance!
James Wilkes Booth about to pull the trigger:
Conan:Oh,I dont think so
I'M SO EXCITED THIS IS FINALLY ON TH-cam
I’ve been waiting for this for so long, wondering when it’ll happen
John Wilkes Booth got yeeted out lmao
Conan, you should have zip lined into the giant red handled lever that plays Chuck Norris clips......🤣🤣🤣🤣
Conan is the best person to exist in entertainment. Protect him at all costs
My parents saw this and decided to... and that’s what made me. Thank you Conan o Brian for saving Lincoln and saving me.
bearded Conan is one of his most iconic eras.
This is why Conan is the best
Conan is the absolute best hands down
I love whoever plays Lincoln
Only a history buff would dream this stuff up!
Enjoy your second term 😂
I didnt know this was an old clip and For a split second I thought conan grew his glorious beard back in a day... I want to keep living in that moment
That was incredible! 🤣😂👍👍👍
This changes history for ever lmao!
That dance at the end lol. 😁😁😁
damn! he nailed that intern lol
Nice to see Brian Mccann back as Lincoln.
Lincoln dancing was actually really good!
Booth is pretty much Paul F Tompkins
Whole new meaning to “Zip Zapa Tyranus” 😂
3:40 wardrobe supervisor Bruce Brumage! he looks as done with Conan here as he still does today!
Conan did the action sequence with LED ZEPPELIN IMMIGRANT before it was cool....
4:24...I see you John Oliver 😂
Zip line rocks, u guys know how to fly, no dancing but fishing buddy!
great segment
And with this ladies and gents I fall into an inevitable conan binge. Farewell, wish me luck in my quest.
Conan is a TRUE American HERO!!! Well Done Sir. PLEASE...keep up the good work!!!
This got me through grad school, thank you Coco!
