That comment about "Jimmy Fallon not being Conan" was an understatement. Conan has more talent in his left nostril than Fallon's got in his entire career.
That clip had me laughing so hard I cried, Artie is just a natural old school comedian of the darker nature. Conan is more cerebreal. Love that they are friends.
Artie and Howard called it. Man I wish I could make a time machine and go back in time to change history so that Conan would just remain at Late Night where he belonged. In my opinion, when Conan took over Late Night from Letterman, he not only filled the shoes properly but elevated the show to a new and more modern level.
this was probably the funniest guest on conan i have ever seen, artie was just straight up talknig about heroin and you could tell how like awkward it was and how conan wanted him to tstop, hes this big jolly guy just chillin talking bout things you would not normally say on conan... amazing
Came here after reading Crash and Burn where Artie reveals that he was completely blacked out during this interview. Knowing that while watching this is truly bizarre!
A lot of people just don't appreciate some of his darker humour because they haven't been there. I'm depressed as fuck and 99% bi-polar but funny too and I can totally appreciate his humour. When people gasp and go "oh wow this guy's messed up" they just don't realize he's trying to be funny. If you're in a dark place = your humour will be dark, as will all your comments and outlook. Your moods shape your perspective. I never used to like him that much but he's grown on me.
yeah i was just throwing that out there because once they began looking for a replacement way back when, i thought he would be perfect. He was always great on the show and is a phenomenal stand-up. artie is pretty cool too and he has some interesting stories. my best memories of the show are from the era of jackie and billie west and when sam kinison would come in all sozzled. take care.
I hope you all realize that he did the show bright and early that day... and had a book signing for the fans. Artie's funnier than most on Conan, even when he's dead tired. Hopefully the guy is staying sober.
oh i got them alright, im very quick. my fav was when he said the kind of guys the person who wrote his book works with, and conan said i cant wait to work with him. lol but being that this was gonna be his last appearance before Conan leaves, i thought it could have been better. And that shirt too, come on man. but i do love artie
Did you guys hear that. After Conan made the joke about seeing himself in Artie, and Artie retorted, he said, "You don't have much longer." Early signs...
@kkwik22 Yeah so many people said that. Like John Mayer had some song that "LA will eat you alive" and like Will Ferrell had that goodbye song on his first night. Conan was just never meant to cut it on a professional, older-skewed show. And everyone called it
Holy shjf. Connor from “Bright eyes” was the musical guest after Artie?!? Why can’t I find them interviewing Conor with Artie roasting him? Haha I feel like Artie would hate Bright Eyes.
I have to disagree with you. Howards show is what makes Artie a star. If Howard stopped his show today, Artie's shows would not sell out anymore. He wouldn't have a national forum in which to plug it with the listenership that Howard has. Don't get me wrong. Artie is a funny guy and I laugh my ass off at the things he says. But to say Howard is nothing without Artie is really an insult to the show.
He says: "You were like...you were a writer." Conan was a TV writer before having his show. He even wrote episodes for The Simpsons (the monorail episode was written by Conan, amongst others).
Conan was already rich beyond his wildest dreams. It's not always about money, especially when you already have more than you ever thought you had. As opposed to Jay, who still insists on getting paid when he goes to an open mic night to test new jokes. Never mind that he's worth about $300M, he's got to get that extra $2k testing his safe jokes that everybody else has already thought of.
canon looks crazy uncomfortable. thats the difference between him and leno, leno never gets rattled like conan does when having guests that arent squeeky clean like conan
The book is good yet sad. He literally would stay in his hotel room all day and come out an hr before he had to make an appearance like this. No shower or change of clothes. Sad.
Conan: "Its very bright in here" Artie: "Thank you"
loool nice noticing that looool

Artie telling Conan that it's a bad move to go to LA for the Tonight Show was very prophetic
Completely zonked on heroin and he's still hilarious. So many great lines in this interview.
Artie and Howard called it.
Man I wish I could make a time machine and go back in time to change history so that Conan would just remain at Late Night where he belonged. In my opinion, when Conan took over Late Night from Letterman, he not only filled the shoes properly but elevated the show to a new and more modern level.
Conan is the greatest late night host of all time.
Artie gotta be HIGH AS HELL
Greatest late night interview of all time.
This is the greatest interview of all time
The G.O.A.T. There's nothing funnier than honesty. 😂
I love how Artie just sits back, chillin. Although he was probably high. Still cool as hell.
Probably???? Lol
“Probably” bahahaha
Keith Richards of comedy
this was probably the funniest guest on conan i have ever seen, artie was just straight up talknig about heroin and you could tell how like awkward it was and how conan wanted him to tstop, hes this big jolly guy just chillin talking bout things you would not normally say on conan... amazing
Conan: “I look forward to working with him” underrated comment
true raw comedy at its finest love it
Came here after reading Crash and Burn where Artie reveals that he was completely blacked out during this interview. Knowing that while watching this is truly bizarre!
Even high, he's hilarious. A true talent.
I think its getting more to the point where howards show is nothing without ARTIE.
This interview is friggin great! Awesome stuff.

so, are you still as messed up as 12 years ago ?
love how artie has sweatpants on
Artie is great in this. The awkwardness never lead to disaster. :D
artie looks like a million bucks!! i hope he comes back to the show soon
I wouldn't have guessed that was Artie Lange. He looks like Michael Moore.
Oh My God, this is the best TV ever!!!!!!
Artie being truthful and the shock it evokes.
Howard Stern created truthful media.
This is so great! Artie was on the time proclaming to be off heroin. This interview is the best i have ever seen!
yeah i was just throwing that out there because once they began looking for a replacement way back when, i thought he would be perfect. He was always great on the show and is a phenomenal stand-up. artie is pretty cool too and he has some interesting stories. my best memories of the show are from the era of jackie and billie west and when sam kinison would come in all sozzled. take care.
Artie is now my hero, and no I am not being sarcastic. Genius.
Artie is shockingly honest...and its hilarious
was listening to howard 100 in the car and they were just talking about this interview so I had to watch it.
I so need to pick that book up
Comedians on coke are just the most hilarious people.
Artie is the best! Wish he was still on Howard
omg artie predicts Conan getting 40 milion for not doing the show. crazy
2:30 to Conan's face at 3:01 is a golden moment in television history.
"I think it's a bad choice" Artie was spot on about Conan leaving for the Tonight show
Priceless
This is absolutely hilarious and refreshing.
I LIKE HOW THEY PLAY DEMOLITION MAN!! LOL!!! he is blowing himself up!
Did all this in a total black out!
Lmao lmao 😂❤❤
You know your a funny guy when even the awkward pauses you generate get laughs...
I hope you all realize that he did the show bright and early that day... and had a book signing for the fans. Artie's funnier than most on Conan, even when he's dead tired.
Hopefully the guy is staying sober.
This is a normal jersey afternoon chilling wit your boy at 3pm by the park....
oh i got them alright, im very quick. my fav was when he said the kind of guys the person who wrote his book works with, and conan said i cant wait to work with him. lol but being that this was gonna be his last appearance before Conan leaves, i thought it could have been better. And that shirt too, come on man. but i do love artie
A “diamond booze bracelet” 😂😂😂
Conan did get paid by NBC to not work a couple years later! He can thank Artie for that!
TV Guide says"Jeers to Conan"? That's good enough for me. I believe it
Did you guys hear that. After Conan made the joke about seeing himself in Artie, and Artie retorted, he said, "You don't have much longer."
Early signs...
@klwewf isnt he the older brother of malcolm from malcolm in the middle?
@kkwik22 Yeah so many people said that. Like John Mayer had some song that "LA will eat you alive" and like Will Ferrell had that goodbye song on his first night. Conan was just never meant to cut it on a professional, older-skewed show. And everyone called it

I feel like Artie would hate Bright Eyes.
2:25 - 2:29 (lmao) 6:27 - 6:33 (lmao) 7:13 - 8:11 (lmao) 9:21 - 9:24
artie is fucking classic he always tell the truth

artie looks fantastic!
How great and sad is what theyre talkin about at the end..."40 mill not to work"
Artie is hilarious...and I already miss Conan
It's good to see Michael Moore is doing fine.
Artie owns.
Conan was already rich beyond his wildest dreams. It's not always about money, especially when you already have more than you ever thought you had.
As opposed to Jay, who still insists on getting paid when he goes to an open mic night to test new jokes. Never mind that he's worth about $300M, he's got to get that extra $2k testing his safe jokes that everybody else has already thought of.
Why not? If someone paid me to tell bad jokes,I'd take it.
he is high as an effin kite
See how he threw Artie's book on the desk in frustration.
that was brilliant the "Without getting laid" part
canon looks crazy uncomfortable. thats the difference between him and leno, leno never gets rattled like conan does when having guests that arent squeeky clean like conan
LOOKINB GOOD ARTIE
... Dammm Artie called that Conan move.
LOL! A little Hey-nanny-nanny!
He's lookin' good.
legend
really good! he's the best!
seth green standing next to conan omg
were the roots also with conan
So funny Arnie knew the whole time.
You can't throw Conan (8:07).
Artie tried but it can't be done.
@TR3YBUCK no how big is Artie Lange?
good stuff i laughed my f'n ass off, artie is a LEGEND
that was the most awkward conversation ever
Artie nerfed on Vicodin is funnier than 87% of comedians at full capacity.
y doesnt this have 10 million views
I cannot believe how heavy he got. It is truly a shame that he doesn't take care of his health.
5:41 Priceless.
funniest shit ever, good stuff...and artie is clearly exhausted from the book signings
who is the tiny man on the left?
Seth Green was the 1st guest, in front of Artie? What the F man!
No, definitely not the only one, one of hundreds of millions maybe (well, not hundreds, but you get the idea)
what was the point in seth green being there
yeh seth green and conan next to each other resemble DR EVIL and MINI ME
i imagine he was an earlier guest on this particular episode. it's not at all uncommon for the first guest to hang around during later interviews.
@jpersaud howard too, he was 2 years earlier though.
Can't blame him for wanting to do fresh heroin
I think he was more concerned with censors than being uncomfortable.
im wearing arties shirt hes wearing in this interview
@TomCollins006 I love how uncomfortable Conan gets when they start talking about his money.
The book is good yet sad. He literally would stay in his hotel room all day and come out an hr before he had to make an appearance like this. No shower or change of clothes. Sad.
Artie Lange is the 21st century's John Belushi.
he car collection is worth about that, from what ive read.
conan was lol'ing inside you can tell
The most perfectly accurately sentence in history.
Artie is the best
He looks like he lost a lot of weight. Good to see him in shape.
This guy is just...funny.
