Bruhh 💀💀
An Italian crew assembled him..

Damn that suicide joke at the start definitely wouldn’t get aired on tv today
JP30th where
@@lobstersawaityou3908 When he put the noose around his neck at 3:00? Dunno how it's not obvious.
You gonna be ok JP?
And Tom would indirectly be to blame.
@@Ian16545 who's tom
That suicide joke in the beginning is hilarious and really sets the tone for him.
It’s hilarious bc that would not fly today 😂
Yep,you stole the comment from me,nor would John Goodman impressinating the Japanese journalist or the nun and the nazi officer crying together at the song,at the end,always funny noticing the stuff that you can't do or say,and there are a lot these days.@@smokeythebear42o
really just an amazing bit that resonates with what comedy is. conan is so relatable because he gets depression and that the root of comedy is turning sadness into something we can smile about.
@@smokeythebear42o Why not? There is a lot of black humor on TV, streaming services etc.
@@bob-zi1eb I know there is, I’m just saying people would throw a fit and try to have him canceled
You can tell because of his nervousness he holds back from continuing the joke, so proud of how far he has come and so quickly
so quickly? its been 30 years
Later Conan has him doing like three additional quips after the original bit. Much more confident.
I can see his hand was shaking. WOW.
@@iiRoot_ ain't no way you think he just now made it 😂
I never noticed back then how nervous he was
Proceeds to literally become the best talk show host ever
Conan brought us Norm MacDonald. After he left...show went downhill
He did but he wasn't funny this early on
My buddies and I were about 14 then and definitely knew he was special.
Letterman was awesome.
A lot of pressure Joker!
I’m guessing Sona was still floating in a basket in the middle of the atlantic at this point
Alvin Silva Hahhahahahahha
And Schlansky was still being built in a factory.
🤣
and Pierre Bernard was cruising around the southern united states dismembering the bodies of his victims
@@WILLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLU That's dark
I love how Conan didn’t change, he just got better
All he needed was some confidence and to really get a theme going for what he wanted
He never quite realized he was at his funniest when he wasn’t trying to be funny
@@bigtommy9715 I think he made an audience. I genuinely believe he carved a way for modern humour in Late Night
@@bigtommy9715this is so true. he's hilarious when he is himself
are the headlines real???
I graduated high school because of Conan. I would stay up late and do my homework until he came on. Seriously, it was the only thing that motivated me to do something productive until I earned the right to laugh my ass off.
True story.
I used to be up with Conan on TBS in HS also :):)
That’s hilarious because I had the exact opposite happen to me. I dropped out because I would stay up late to watch Conan and be dead tired in school the next day. Didn’t matter tho because I was one funny MF’er as a result.
That's great 👍
I’m 30 years late, but I’m proud of you. You shared an amazing story
I have the exact same association with Conan. He heralded many all-nighters in the late 90s/early 2000s. I always got an A. Thanks, Conan!
2036: This dude better be good as Conan O Brien.
No chance whoever is next is goin to suck
Danni Edwards compared to him everyone sucks but time will tell(it won’t tell shit conan is the best)
Why 2036?
Zna Sve ...Seriously?
@@HELPMEREACHSUBSCRIBERS-uh2np yeah?
If you look at his hands, at times, they were shaking. How far he’s come.
DeeDo Yep. Who knew he’d one day be sitting in a Korean spa with Steven Yeun and some other gentlemen completely naked
DeeDo time stamp
@@Ron-ys7gs 7:17 and 7:48 are very noticeable
no way, he was for years in the industry before he started this....
@@sakitotalks stupid. That was nothing. He's not nervous at all. Now if you watch Jimmy Fallons first show, his nervousness was damn obvious
I love how supportive the guests are. They are basically carrying him through it as best they can
I thought that too. Something incredibly endearing about that.
Because he was very good looking and had a great smile
@@bluffiblaffiI thought he looked good and that was a part of the reason but not totally, he’s just funny and they’re giving him a chance
Drew Barrymore is the best first episode guest you could have, easiest and kindest person to interview
same with Goodman. They chose guests in the beginning perfectly
They were also his friends
Lol okay 🙄
HO LEE SMOKES... I forgot how hot she was back then. YEEOWW!
Drew Barrymore be thy name!
27 years later - Conan hasn’t aged a day and there still is not peace in the Middle East.
Yes!...what happened in the middle east 9-93 that caused that?
No peace in the middle east what you on about. Where did that come from?
Well of course if your beloved zionist governments that you support keeps on falsity flagging attacks and using that kill and rape millions like they've been doing on a daily basis...how can there be peace. Mr. Zionist explain youself! Pfff weapons o mass destruction, pff using ways to steal oil. Oh it's completely legal just to show up at a country and kill and rape and burn houses and piss on dead bodies and then steal the oil and natural gas. Explain yourself zionman!

The joke landed well because earlier that day... Yitzhak Rabin and Yasir Arafat shook hands at the White House. I was eleven at the time, and I still remember the news reports about it. www.history.com/topics/us-presidents/clinton-brokers-israeli-plo-peace-accords-video
conan used to scare the heck out of me always wondered if a guy that average can be on TV . . .
You can tell Conan is nervous cause of that joker giggle he's keep letting out
jambalaya jones yeah lol
zivex ITS NOT FUNNY
NizKer nice toxicity 👍
So cute ahahaha, never here that these days
*haha*
Man John Goodman deserves props for being so funny in this too. A good first guest for Conan to play off of.
Crazy he was still on Roseanne when this aired. He was so good in that.
@@r.p.4432Yeah I know
From this to the longest-running late-night TV host and one of the most beloved comedians to this day. I actually never heard a single bad thing about this wonderful man. Letterman is inappropriate, Leno is a devil, Fallon is fake, Corden is an egoistical diva, Kimmel is not funny - but Conan stays STRONG. Let's go team Coco
Well put!
Not quite carson though
Everyone always leaves off Craig Ferguson and that makes me sad.
THe only other host worth a damn in my limited opinion would be Graham Norton
Agree 100 with @bergen
Something tells me that he might have been under a lot of pressure...
Don't worry, the cocaine helped.
He has big shoes to fill.
S o u are a detective a tham good detective
What gives you that idea
@@waltermalone216 Nose swipe, nose swipe.. yeaH!!!
His laugh is so high pitch and he's so nervous omg
Coke
Pepadew not coke
@pyropulse I don't think so. The laugh sounds genuine to me. A lot of people go through this at the beginning of their career in front of a camera or behind a mic. They'll usually have a nervous tic or six and they have to train themselves out of it.
@pyropulse he was terrified being a huge fan of Letterman. He said on his podcast that if it wasn't for his friend, Lisa Kudrow, he would have never done it.
It used to be like that, that isn't him being nervous. Watch a lot of his older clips.
Drew is a sweetheart, it seems like she was trying to help Conan through the interview.
Agree. She really helped him out
She was a kid here still. 18.
@@kpag3030 39 in Hollywood years
@@jasras5003word
She seemed really nervous too.
It's insane how nervous he was, and how far he's
come. He's a natural.
bruh they deadass posted the whole episode.
this is why Conan is the best talk show host
His audition is on TH-cam and the TBS website, it is a 1 min clip of him interviewing jason alexander and someone else on the tonight show set.
i believe Conan has the rights to all his Late Night footage and all his Conan footage... theres some deal about the Tonight Show stuff
yea they didn't take out the hang part too
And all the work he did to keep all the jobs of his staff when NBC did him wrong.
oh jesus they did
Conan is the nerd who is making all the nerds laugh at the nerd table. Jimmy Fallon is the nerd who is trying to hard to make the jocks laugh (and like him) at the cool kids table.
Chepe Pancho That’s quite the analysis! I’m impressed.
Wow great insight. I agree.
@@josephconner2586 if you were nicer
Jimmy Kimmel is the schizo kid who makes himself laugh.
Exactly.
Andy really was important right from the beginning, he seems to calm Conan down a bit, and he’s got his funny quirks right from episode one! 👏🔥
@@xshxr Doesn't negate that Andy was really important right from the beginning. Dumb comment.
Andy is his emotional support animal
@@xshxr I think it's ridiculous to assume that because Andy wasn't there during the most successful years, that meant he wasn't that important. While I won't say that Conan's whole career is owed to Andy (which is also a ridiculous statement), Andy did play a major role in setting up the show for success that it would later achieve (whether you want to believe it or not is up to you).
Wow I can’t believe it’s only been 5 years since Conan’s first episode!
It's 1998 now? 😂
Conan finally invented that time machine
@@wrongaboutyou9725I hope it is. That would be awesome.
@RarePupper Dont worry cuz. I get it!😂😂
somehow his hair got redder and his skin got whiter over the years...
THE SINGING CARTOONIST it’s the camera
Well the real questions is why is he still white
I mean... it’s obvious that he has been dying his hair since at least '04 or '05
Micaela de Pina nah it’s just the ginger genes kicking in
It's the lighting
So he was 30 here and looked 40, now he's 55 and looks 40.
29...
@@MarcHershey he was 29 so Drew Barrymore was 17 here?
He said drew Barrymore so I'm like "okay so she'll be like 5" then shes like 30 and I'm like "but she's like 30 now wtf"
I don't even know who I am anymore
Holy he’s 55!?
Make up
The guests on Conan's first show really kept things cool and didn't make things awkward when they did get awkward lol.
It was a dream team. At first they had trouble getting John Goodman to appear, but when Loren offered to bestow the medal on him, he agreed.
@@charlie-obrien you must be lying, conan and him were great friends and even live together, i don t see in what world goodman would refuse
His joke about starting on TV then only clawing into the club - he achieved that in a way by pedalling back into podcasting.
Then the same thing, on getting the same guests - he got it now with Sona, Matt his crew and longform interviews! 😂 what a transformation ❤
I watch this video annually just to remind myself how much ive grown with him.
HAHHAH This is what I've been saying 😂
His palms were sweaty, knees weak, arms were heavy; nervous, but on the surface he looked calm and ready.
What's that on his head? Mum's spaghetti
Very nervous laugh
But he keeps on forgetting
Yeah, I know. He opens his mouth but the words won't come out.
Dad's ravioli
Conan: *Breathes*
Audience: HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
I have a feeling for a first episode they would have been extras who were told behave this way. It was over the top.
Ol
Lol
Actually in these talk shows, the audience are hand picked people who sign a contract. When they're sat, theres a light above them that lights up when they need to laugh.
@@stylesy2025 Conan doesn't have that. Coming from someone who's dad has been to his shows a dozen times.
I sat around through the credits and noticed Bob Odenkirk there. Had no idea he was a writer for 2 years on the show.
Went from a complete unknown to the GOAT of late night.
Props to Lorne Michaels for believing in Conan and giving him the opportunity.
Didnt realize how tall he was. He was literally taller than everyone he walked by
istand straight He's 6'4
istand straight Technically the black guy at 2:22 was taller but Coco's hair made him taller he's 6'4 but But 6'6 with the hair

“was i a good talk show host?”
God:
*”No, you were the best”*
God youre talking like hes DEAD
I prefer Craig Ferguson but he’s great too
@@rosienelson1004 I'm a huge Craig Ferguson fan of when he hosted late night. And in ways it's almost a tie. But I couldn't imagine my twenties in the 1990s without Conan and Andy
Omg i don’t want to imagine a world without conan
He's alive 😂😁
Tony Randall, "You must stick by your conciounce... artistic conciounce, such as it is... and do what amuses you...
You're sticking by your guns. You're doing what you believe in, and you're bound to succeed."
Some of THE best advice, EVER! Thank you, Mr Randall!
7:49 Damn his hands were shaking so much! This guy would go on to be the greatest talkshow host of all time
Little did he know a special little Italian espresso loving stud would come into his life at some point
alex borstein?
Guillermo 😂
I mean are you alex borstein?
If you mean Guillermo, he’s Hispanic not Italian
Adrian Barroso isn’t guillermo in jimmy kimmel
I still remember my dad saying Conan was awful and was so awkward on camera. From then on I watched just to root for Conan as the underdog.
Yeah I hated my dad too
@@upland77 unbelievably underrated comment
@@upland77 lolll
That's why he's one ofbthe best, he's more human that other talk show host
@@LaLogic2 hahahaha
I didn't know Tony Randall, but what a great guest he was ❤ and he honestly told him "you're bound to succeed. I know it" and he wasn't wrong
The brilliant Tony Randall, who then came on at the end and did his shictk with the song.
He would appear on Late Night with Conan many times over the years. One of my favorites.
Tony Randall was the real MVP. He put Conan at ease very fast. That segment almost look like his latest TV interviews. And he was right: it has a lot of potential if he stick to his guns!
Poor guy, 26 years later and he still hasn’t made it to high school
Kyle Jonas he’s been through Harvard 😂
maybe some years later, he will enter high school... hopefully...
Ha?
At least he still has a show. Even if Jay did what he does best
@@tomchubby8216 Maybe we did and you didn't get the joke
Everyone was such a good sport for this. And it's honestly a really ridiculously funny episode.
I LOVED the bit when Tony Randall gave a sincere compliment to Conan, then jabbed him with "Not so great an honor as to be the first guest." and the whole group was part of the joke. They even made such a big deal out of Goodman being the first guest! Layers!
He looks so scared i've never heard him laugh like that.
We know conan is a god now but he was just a little demi god back then, he sure was a little anxious.
I was thinking the same thing haha.
It's strange
@@sub-zero286 I mean, he had to be as good as Letterman. Lotta pressure
@@delilh325 Ah...back when individualism and being your own brand of something wasn't very popular.
@@sub-zero286 I was referring to the very beginning of the video
little did he know he would go on to be the funniest late night show host EVER
No funniesg talk show host Jimmy fallon. He plays fortnite
I'll tie him with Arsenio for 3rd. No one is better than Carson and Dave is at 2nd
Believe it or not , I just got to know this man and I’m watching for the first time today ! I’m looking for more of it online if anyone has a link , thanks !
Dont forget Craig Ferguson
@@laurent4186 just search for conan o brien....
He's too famous to be sharing links...;)
I remember watching this show after weeks and weeks of hype and seeing a very nervous but very funny host, and thinking he might be OK. The second night he came out, paused then said "Nobody told me I'd have to do this again". Brought down the house. And at that point I KNEW he'd be just fine.
30 years later and he’s an icon. Man really did it despite the peoples judgement.

@@FriendlyCroock If you had sense in you, you'd know that there's shocking racism in every country of the world. Regardless of the United States.
I always found it really funny that the critics of this show complained about Conan O'Brien being nervous in this episode - did they really expect him to just casually walk in and be totally in control during his very first "Late Night" episode, when he by the way was also expected to immediately be as good as David Letterman? NOBODY is NOT nervous in that kind of situation.
I guess they never saw Dave's first TV appearance.
I’m here after the podcast where Conan talked about his 30th Anniversary
This segment is 30 years ago and we all know Conan cemented himself as a true legend and master… but for some reasons I still feel nervous for him when watching this 😂😂
They should play this back to him and get his reaction.
That wouldn't be possable with the suicide joke
I think he uploaded this video himself.
forbidden pollo where?
1:35, same shirt, just slightly different patterns. Such a '90s fashion.
He watches it everytime he feels he's getting too cocky.
Who’s watching this now that Conan gave his farewell show? 💔😭
I had too puts tears in my eyes
Me🤚😔
I will eventually watch his farewell
Yeah it's crazy he's done with late night. One of the funniest people on the planet. Luckily we have the podcast and his upcoming projects.
🤝🏽
John Goodman is a class act, such a great job carrying the interview.
Amazing to see how nervous and anxious he was for the first episode and how comfortable and confident he became. Seasoned comic genius.

What a guy!
Funny that he eventually landed his signature move “invisible strings pulling up pants”
It's incredible how the intro perfectly exemplifies the style and tone that Conan and his team have continued to this day through multiple shows and formats. Great example of how to grow, evolve, and handle change without losing your identity and style. 👌
seeing his nervousness making me nervous
.
Seeing his nervousness teaches me how much I can evolve as a person in the future...
mate
who wouldn't be nervous
but what i found interesting is they all seem nervous, even the guests. guess late night talk shows wernt as big back then??
Haha, what nervousness?
It's weirdly comforting to see someone who's such a hero to me, who I idolize as much as Conan O'Brien being so incredibly nervous for his first show. His hands shaking so much, all of his nervous ticks, it's just so human.
The laughter is painful sometimes lol. Not good for a host to have nervous laughter, it's their show XD

Probably nervous about getting to sit right next to Drew Barrymore for the first time ever.

Actually thou?
Because he doesn’t go political like every other person. Noah, Colbert and fallon
Conan and Andy look like two kids who have worn their dads suits and created an imaginary show in their bedroom
😂😂😂
I’m screaming laughing at the accuracy of this.
Amazing
What if it was.. to escape their real life of longtime Abuse of alcoholic parents..and when it ended, Conan snapped out into reality and realized the amount of time it took to let go of the trauma.. so many years he wasted into a dream he so much wanted to be true,yet nothing was ever accomplished….
after watching the episode of Conan's podcast recalling all details of how he landed this job, this is so much better!
Just did same, adds so much depth knowing some of the behind the scenes drama 😂
As I rapidly near my 40s, I want to share an impact Conan O'Brien had on my life and my mental health. I was born from first-generation immigrant parents. My parents struggled to make ends meet, gain proper citizenship, follow the letter of the law to a tee, and of course fight to put me through the 'best' public schooling taxes could buy, in a privileged, somewhat gated community. Back when I was in high-school, my humanities teacher made some reference to Conan O'Brien during her lesson. Being a somewhat novice to late night American television culture (and let me remind you kids, this was in the days before smartphones and Google even existed), back then I innocently raised my hand and asked who Conan O'Brien was. My teacher gave me one cynical look, and immediately ordered the student sitting behind me to smack me on the back of the head with their notebook. Next thing I know, I felt the back of my head make swift, stinging contact with the student's aluminum spiral binded 100 page notebook, while I felt all the heavily disapproving stares and comments from all the rest of the 22 or so students in my class who likely assumed I was culturally inept to belong in their country, let alone community. In hindsight it sounds ridiculous now but, back then I really believed I had committed a grave sin worthy of discipline low-key reminiscent to a teacher in a dictatorship disciplining me for not immediately acknowledging or respecting a reference to the current leader.
All this to say, after watching this video, it finally dawned on me why my teacher acted in the manner she did that day. I had simply not recognized a such a great Late Night Talk Show legend in the making; Conan O'Brien, my sincerest apologies to you 🙇♂️🙏 may you live a long and healthy blessed life.❤
This is a wildly underrated comment
😬
I love the fact that Andy Richter is still by his side, some almost 30 years later.
Andy wasn't by his side for 9 years, but he came home.

We used to respect people's agency. If they committed suicide, it was their decision. Now, they're made to be victims.
@@johnappleseed8839 I actually agree
Na fam, these days a shit load are made by the second. Have you seen the list of satire shows? But the longer back you look, the less offensive humor was shown on tv. Also the internet!
@Leonardo Deleon There are many types of depression. Your argument works for some and not others. Also, who said we don't want suicide? Who's we? Are you speaking for the entire population of the world?
I like how he asked John Goodman “How’s it goin’?” at the beginning of both of his segments. That was pretty cool.
I picture Tony Randall on his death bed saying quietly to Martin Short with his final breath, "Now it's your turn to bust Conan's balls on a regular basis." 😂
It's crazy see what kind of controversial stuff they could get away with back then that we couldn't now, like having a ginger talk show host!
Why does it crazy?
made frischa is joke
That makes no sense. He's still a ranga and got his show.
Insane right
or like the part where he was gonna hang himself lmao
That high pitched nervous laugh...😂
Ikr
I can't stop laughing because of that. Today he goes through horrible awkward situations without blinking an eye, hard to imagine that he was ever that nervous like on his first show.
Since then he perfected (good) showbiz laugh!
exactly;)
😂😂😂facts
I love that he actually followed what Tony Randall said regarding doing what would amuse him
This first episode was very foretelling. And he even took Randall's advice, it seems, for better or worse.
it's crazy because you can tell how nervous he is, but he's still so natural within his delivery that it seems like he was made for this. I guess that's why he's probably the greatest of all time
I agree. He's nervous here but at the same time, it doesn't feel like it's his first episode. He's a natural.
@Nenethegreat W Ellen
@Nenethegreat W there's plenty of women they're probably offended you don't know about them 😂
@Nenethegreat W Why would anyone watch your show? Plus there are many good female hosts and male hosts. Just go complain somewhere else.
I noticed that too! N now he knocks food out his staffs hands LOL!😂
Little did they know, 25 years laters Andy would still be there
You mean the Swedish-German who was raped by a gold miner?
Sick maths
andy did leave for a short bit, he had a sitcom that didn't pan out.
Legend has it Andy lives in Conan's dressing room...
andy leaves in the year 2000s 😂
The fact Conan's first guest is John Goodman is incredible. John is one of my favorite and most humble actors out there on what is likely the most humble night host. I hope Goodman can be on Conan's podcast. (If he hasn't already since I just discovered it.)
I was about 5 or 6 when I started watching Coco - I grew up watching this guy, 36 now.

You could tell how nervous he was because he kept laughing at his own jokes and he kept fiddling with his hands lol
And playing with his nose. I'm thinking he sniffed something snowy like haha
Am I the only one who deadass thinks he looked pretty handsome?
No, you're not. I had a crush on him from the beginning.
You look handsome, bitch...
what the hell are you on, he still looks handsome
Binazir Issenova ikr, I just don’t understand why he makes fun of himself lol
@@ArcadianWizard he's very self-deprecating, it's his brand. but i really hope he knows how many people consider him actually handsome, he deserves to know
It was all there, right from the start. Amazing. Tony Randall just killing it.
Absolutely 90s talk show beginning, but showed his genius from the very start. From the best guests to the all-star team, he was destined to be the greatest of all talk shows. And still the funniest!
Its funny because u can tell his nervous when his voice gets high, he never does that anymore, im glad he made it that long
Or it was the cocaine that was pretty much pervasive in Hollywood through those days :D
@@akkual You're thinking of the 80's not the 90's....
@@StonyDilithium or current times
His style is unique, no wonder he had a little bit of rough start. But still glad he kept going
What do u mean rough start??
From what I have seen Dave showed up to his show because he was doing bad mainly because people were being to negative. So Dave showed up because he saw he had talent and calm everyone down and that's how he cleared the path for Conan to keep going and get better
@@willcuza who's Dave
@@nameirrelevant1114 David Blaine
i eat ass David Letterman, Conan’s predecessor on “Late Night”
he’s so goofy silly in this
Remember seeing this all those years ago, couldn't sleep and was flicking through tv channels and came across Connan right at " ive been in show business for 45 seconds" been watching ever since.
Thank you!
He's so palpably nervous, it's crazy. The pressure was definitely no joke lol
Rudy E.
I think they were sure they'd be cancelled.
Apparently NBC would renew Conan’s contract every few weeks or something, so he could’ve been canceled at any time
The best part about this was Conan flat out acknowledging the elephant in the room, knowing the pressure of being an unknown taking over for Dave.
It's very clever
That noose bit had me literally laughing out loud.
The show promos were focusing on that point. There wasn't any way he wouldn't address the situation and joke about it.
conan's nervous giggle/laughter is so adorable!
I remember watching this. He was so funny, totally killed it. Letterman, Craig Ferguson, and Conan are my favorite talk show hosts ever!
Holy crap, it's weird looking at 1993 footage in such high quality!
That's most likely due to this being the original copy and not a recording. Very interesting.
also just due to the fact that it was not possible to broadcast 720p back then
@@Joshonthenet I have a feeling it actually was.
@@SVENY no, analog TV was 640x480
Paul Martin it’s like saying “flying cars have been possible for a while we just haven’t accessed it yet”
