@TheJimmy hahah yeah it wasn't that great. Carvey's is better. And as a sort of aside, Pacino is a terrible actor these days. I mean really bad he just overacts everything. He's become a parody of himself.
"In 1975 no one died, in 1976 no one died, in 1977 no one died, in 1978 no one died, in 1979 no one died, in 1980 SOME ONE died, in 1981 no one died, in 1982 no one died"......the man is an all time great.
i just watched a series they did together called The Trip where they play themselves going around reviewing restaurants for The Guardian. It's hilarious because I would say the majority of it (99.99999%) is improvised.
@@billypilgrim1 i did, i was surprised the last one was a film. They're planning on doing The Trip to Greece next. Can't wait to find out what happened to Coogan at the end of Trip to Spain haha XD
I don't think American audiences quite get Coogan. His humour is often so multi-layered. Often you can't tell if there will be a punchline. English humour doesn't always have a punchline.
@JackBauer137 yeah those blue eyes with extra smooth skin made him look like an alien. That CGI killed all of his facial expressions as a legendary actor, that cost him an oscar...
On conan's podcast he talked all about how he loves English humor and thought they were way ahead of the American tv comedy for decades. I think he even mentioned Steve coogan by name. Great he got this interview.
This interview is from 2006. Yeah, he was comparing it to Network TV comedies. Especially after the first golden age of TV and production moved to LA it all kinda went downhill and became watered down for a while. But now for the past couple of decades with cable and now even more so with streaming it's not the case anymore. I hope he interviews Coogan for his podcast.
Steve Coogan is one of the all time greatest impressionists. His performances of Stan Laurel was so accurate it was like he brought him to life for the modern age in colour. He is also a serious actor. In the UK he played Jimmy Saville in a great TV series called "The Reckoning". For those not familiar with Jimmy Saville he was a paedophile and depraved monster. He got away with his evil crimes for decades as he was a huge TV personality with great influence and power. He was even knighted by the Queen for charity work.
IMHO the best thing Steve has done was Saxondale where he plays an embittered ex-music roadie now working as a pest controller. Very funny , check it out
He's hilarious. Check out The Trip. And the movie he's promoting here (The Life and Opinions of Tristram Shandy, Gentleman) is also pretty spectacular.
No laugh for the "are you Steve Coogan?" line, but a strong chuckle for the lame "perfect time to hit him again" line from O'Brien. American audiences are weird.
I thought he was great as Stan Laurel in Stan & Ollie. The mannerisms were spot on & it was a great movie. Alas, he didn't get an award for his portrayal. How good do u have to be to get one?
@@ma5839 Guess it’s true Americans don’t understand sarcasm in the slightest. Did you think he was being serious when he was doing his impression of an actor with a bloated ego?
Yeah you’re right. In all of Britain’s history and America’s brief history and of course the long, very long history of comedy in the history of all humanity. Americans are unable to understand British humour.
He's intelligent though, the only intelligent folk who back Brexit are the ones that are going to pocket millions from it like Farage and Rees-Mogg and the rest of the "offshore accounts brigade".
3:05 Al Pacino
Have a good day Stranger
Thank you good sir
Fucks sake. I thought he could do better. 🤔
@TheJimmy hahah yeah it wasn't that great. Carvey's is better. And as a sort of aside, Pacino is a terrible actor these days. I mean really bad he just overacts everything. He's become a parody of himself.
He's gotten so much better at it. This particular one should've been preceded by Rob Brydon's "WHAT DO YA GOT?! impression.
You are a good man, thank you.
I should've scrolled down to your comment before watching the whole damn thing.
Funny that Conan had to laugh to let the audience know Coogan was joking.😂
OR slightly amusing!
I found it depressing. Coogan was clearly aware that he was entertaining a braindead American audience...
similar to your smiley emoji
Amer'can audiences aren't exactly famous for their high comedy IQ. Bill Hicks knew all about Amer'can audiences.
"In 1975 no one died, in 1976 no one died, in 1977 no one died, in 1978 no one died, in 1979 no one died, in 1980 SOME ONE died, in 1981 no one died, in 1982 no one died"......the man is an all time great.
D person I believe there was also an incident with a pigeon
@@thragblan there was mate, in 1983 I believe 😂😂😂😂😂😂
Burger Bar, scuffle and hiatus, all said within the first 47 seconds = Baffled US audience.
🤣🤣🤣
Speak English, boy!
In fairness the bloke he was fighting in that ‘definitely true’ story was cockneyamericanmancunian by his accent.
Conan O’Brien baffles Americans?
mmmno.
Wow. He nailed both the young and old Pacino
especially older Pacino- If I closed my eyes, I think it's him
I'd love if he came on Conan as Alan Partridge!...comedy gold listening to Coogan and Conan - Legends
I’d say this was 50-50 Coogan/Partridge 😂
I enjoyed his part as the head in tropic thunder.
Coogan is a comedic genius along with Armando Iannucci
The love/hate rivalry between Rob and Steve appArently goes back a lot

He is beyond brilliant in Hamlet 2. Such an underrated movie.

... And when he gets LOUD he gets very LOUDLY indeed!
The two AL PACINO impressions are at the 3:02 mark.
For those who cannot wait 3 minutes
Americans will never get the genius of Alan Partridge.
My new Al Pacino Impression is "SOLIDARITY" "SOLIDARITY" "SOLIDARITY"!!!
@JackBauer137 Cause he was screaming that word with that CGI face

Tv yes. Standup shows no
@@AgeDrain Yeah British scripted comedies and panel shows are great but UK standup is trash

nicolasviaje British stand up really isn't trash
@@AgeDrain Today yes, 15+ years ago, no.
Our comedy has been absolutely decimated by political correctness. We don't make decent comedy anymore.
His older Pacino impression was better than the younger one
For the younger one, you have to go to Titus Welliver, he really is something else when doing a Pacino's impression
and yet Welliver’s Irish accent on Sons Of Anarchy was horrendously bad ... @@Budasrosary
I really dont know how I only realised it was a 14 year old clip after two thirds of the video had elapsed.
Same!!!
Because Conan's hair hasn't changed in almost 30 years. It's a perpetually orange tuff.
If anyone is wondering how he can be so cruel to the supporting actor. It's Rob Brydon, he'd do it right back :D
And anyone with a brain knows he isn't cruel it is all part of the act.
Steve Coogan is brilliant.

This man is so so underappreciated !!
Amazing comic talent
Oscar winner, multiple bafta winner, sold out tours, never been of the screen for thirty years......yeah really underappreciated.
he pulled the guy off? not even gonna apologise i was giggling like a little kid lol
He’s so good at impressions man… one of the best
Coogan is thinking "urrrghh when is this interview gonna end?"
don't suppose i could get two tickets to a Knicks game & some cucumber water?
IM A PEACOCK YOU GOTTA LET ME FLY
Coogan’s Stallone/Alan Bennett impression is a hoot.
older Pacino, hands down spot on
His 1st Pacino sounds like he spent his Young in Liverpool. 😂😂😂
IMHO the best thing Steve has done was Saxondale where he plays an embittered ex-music roadie now working as a pest controller. Very funny , check it out
I LOVE THIS ACTOR. WITH JACKIE CHAN IN 80 DAYS, IN CURB YOUR ENTHUSIASM WITH LARRY DAVID, IN THE OTHER GUYS...
Tropic Thunder too.
Exactly! 80days was incredibly funny film!
He's hilarious. Check out The Trip. And the movie he's promoting here (The Life and Opinions of Tristram Shandy, Gentleman) is also pretty spectacular.
Terry , have you tried the water ? SHUT UP ALLEN !!!
Whoever he does impressions of or whatever he's discussing, I cannot help but think of ol' Alan, lurking just below the surface, ha ha! 😉
Crash! Bang! Wallop! What a video.
No laugh for the "are you Steve Coogan?" line, but a strong chuckle for the lame "perfect time to hit him again" line from O'Brien. American audiences are weird.
I love how his eyes always dart back to the camera. No one else does that.
Peter Kay stole it. Along with pretty much everything else in Kay's act.
Gervais?
Watch Steve Coogan on #CONAN tonight, 11/10c on TBS!
Team Coco Steve is so handsome! Ugh 😩
I thought he was great as Stan Laurel in Stan & Ollie. The mannerisms were spot on & it was a great movie. Alas, he didn't get an award for his portrayal. How good do u have to be to get one?
Aye. Some of the best talent goes underappreciated by "judges" and "juries"
Well he'll always have us fans :)
This could be Stan Laurel's impersonation of Robert De Niro (?)
The end bit was like say hello to my lil friend scarface pacino
Coogan appeared to be ostentatious and arrogant. Conan helped to make him a little down to earth.
Ok calm down
@@ma5839 Guess it’s true Americans don’t understand sarcasm in the slightest. Did you think he was being serious when he was doing his impression of an actor with a bloated ego?

DAN!
He is so funny as the dorky pretentious radio presenter Alan Partridge
Bro I need myself a burger bar!😂
Jobe Griesbach it’s a diner
Great actor...and Molina too!
That was pretty spot on
His young Pacino is actually very Dog Day Afternoon-ish.
Coogan is a proper Qunt in real life 😂
Raul , he was a good player lol
I can't believe Steve has ever been in a fight and least of all winning that fight ;)
39' ..... "And I pulled this guy off"
😁
I'm guessing that Coogan is on the podcast next then 😂
Daniel Roberts Hope so.
Boa noite, uma bela entrevista sensacional.Adorei o vídeo.
Very good 👍 👏
Try and find that guy from the burger place..... You never will, and why is that Steven? 😂😂😂
*Amazing gentleman* ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️
I don't think yanks get our dry humour
Of course we do.
Cheers mate
If I’d never seen Steve’s work before this interview I wouldn’t be impressed. But as partridge, this guy is genius hilarious:)
tony ferrino isnt far behind too
Coogan and O'Brien...It could be two Irish boys in a bar Galway, shooting the breeze.
Except that Coogan is English and O'Brien is American
"Jurassic Park!"
Was there an audience
America’s never understand British humour hahah I love it!
Yeah you’re right. In all of Britain’s history and America’s brief history and of course the long, very long history of comedy in the history of all humanity. Americans are unable to understand British humour.
Jeff's made a fool of you, are you brave enough to actually respond or too cowardly? He's made you look a right mug.
Coogan is one of three men who can do the differing AGES of Pacino, the other two being Frank Caliendo and Alec Baldwin.
Do check Titus Welliver impressions and I believe that it will change your mind.

American audience absolutely baffled
Love Steve Coogan
The young Pacino is so spot on
Love me some Coogan
SHE WAS ONLY 16 YEARS OLD
She was only..sixteen years old
@alphadawn2015 lennon she..was..only..16 yrs old..
The 'Tristram Shandy' film was called 'A Cock and Bull Story'. Conan avoided saying the title of the film, I noticed.
I love you Steve Coogan!!
A good few jokes flew right over Conans head.
not too difficult a task there
Not to mention the entire audience.
Coogan is great. Anti Brexit too.
He's intelligent though, the only intelligent folk who back Brexit are the ones that are going to pocket millions from it like Farage and Rees-Mogg and the rest of the "offshore accounts brigade".
He looks like Jon Candy here.
One of the few around today who is actually rightly famous for being talented and not a so-called model etc (fill in as appropriate ) turned actor
Never saw a show where the audience didn’t even laugh or clap once. 🥳
coogan tailgated me on the m56 in 1998 in his red ferrari - I was in a citroen zx 1.9d - that was fun watching him get mad
Imagine movies with Steve Coogan and Bill Hader!! 😊
Awesome
Coogan develops the mid-atlantic accent.
Waited right the way till the end but yeah. Pinpoint !
He’s got a big Dudley Moore vibe here
Extreme Measures....... With Trevor Eve, Friday Night at 9pm on BBC1
Blind Corner... With Trevor Eve, Friday night at 9 pm on ITV. It's gonna be greeate!
@@Senyoln1 Extreme Measures..... With Robson Greene😂
looks the the english version of james wood
Actually, even his movie has parallels to Pacino's "Looking for Richard".
Pass the sweet potatoes.
Look at him. He likes American things now.
I’ve just done a massive shit 💩 on the kitchen counter and the wife is furious
I bet much of the hate Ferrari drivers face comes from Corvette drivers.
Is he doing Dave Allen here?
It was actually me he was fighting with. Once I'd got his autograph I bit him really hard on the nose. If you look closely you'll see the mark.
You’re a mentalist!
"Now when you first hit it big..." - elicits a chuckle from me transitioning from speaking of the scuffle.
Pulled the guy off. Whoa.. 😁
Hamlet 2...he was great
ALAN PARTRIDGE !!
Tough crowd 😮
Those are some serious shoulder pads
Conan, shut up and let your guests shine.
josh grogan any one ?
whaddya got….?
I've got laryngitis……..
