"No, Sona? Really? Not even a giggle? Come on... It wasn't that bad. Just fake it!"... and she refused! And that was the funniest thing she could do. Also... the joke was bad, Conan. You deserved it.
And then I love how the joke didn't make her laugh but him looking at her for validation did. He knows how to get a laugh out of her even when he can't.
Conan is selling himself short. Compared to the average person, he is very very VERY smart. Given that he's also humble and compassionate (when not playing his 'character') it's hard to argue that he isn't a complete and wholesome individual.
Compassionate? The guy that does softball interviews sanitizing the reputations of Genocide Joe and the Butchers of Libya Obama and Hillary? Did you see The Zone of Interest? It's about banally evil people like Conan, casually indifferent to the horrific slaughter of entire peoples.
I don't appreciate Conan making me crack up in the car and all anyone hears is muted sounds of Conan laughing like a madman as I'm laughing like a madman
@@AkiroKiro You forced me to paint the scenario. Eeew! Actually, kinda hot. I don't know. I'm conflicted. What a weird way to find out something about my sexuality. Damn, this escalated quickly.
Real comedy is about complete honesty with regard to what you observe and then choose to say. The kind ones will have a much longer tenure with a more loyal audience.
Elwood P. Dowd : "Years ago, my mother used to say to me, she'd say "In this world, Elwood, you can be oh so so smart, or oh so pleasant." Well, for years I was smart... I recommend pleasant. You may quote me."
ABSOLUTELY agree, just last night I was thinking about how Conan literally genuinely has gotten funnier and funnier with time for me personally and I think that's part of it besides the different formats from which this podcast is BY FAR the best or at least funniest thing he's ever done without a doubt, where he's at his absolute best just riffing around and having actual conversations, he's happier and it just shows
The handful of times I've encountered a celebrity whose work I really care about, I just leave them alone. Because Conan's right, there's not much value in going up to someone and gushing about their work. They've heard it enough, it doesn't lead anywhere, it's really more for YOU than them
You mean the Harvard university where "short bus" John Fetterman went, along with a string of virulent antisemties, the likes of which would make the Klan blush?
I was suuuuper excited to see the thumbnail of these two together finally. two of my top 5 favorite comedians one one screen... now I don't have to watch TWO things. thank you.
There's always one joke that anchors a Comedy fan to a Comedian... "You saw the Crucible... that play about the... and you were like that's aspirational"
Well, as an example, I was always compared to Conan when I was young. I was funny like him, I had a similar presence, and I sort of looked like him in a gingery way, too. I didn't like the comparison at the time, as a young person. But now I absolutely love him. I feel like I have come into my own, and he certainly has. He is very thoughtful, kind, and still very funny. And smart! Haha
There are different types of intelligence (I believe) but yeah empathy and emotional and creative intelligence is a lot more appealing to me personally. Great interview :)
This podcast is fantastic. Loved Conan since the begining. The whole cast is great. And Sona not to sound like a creep but your the hottest woman in showbiz with your looks and personality
The correct word is Arrived. So Conan has arrived now. He's done everything in the past, and now at this point he's arrived as the final product of what was in the manufacture in the line of life..
I appreciate Conan for not surrounding his brand completely around Politics. Just some funny quips here and there. Every late night host has completely morphed into that solely and it’s sooo boring.
I'm curious if you will have Howie Mandel on or go on his podcast I'm curious. I bet Howie's daughter and Sona movsesn would get a long very similar sense of humor
Appreciate all of this, but don’t underestimate the irreparable harm done by average intelligence applied to good intentions. It’s in the news constantly.
Conan seems like a lovely guy and I’ve really enjoyed this podcast but I don’t really understand how his genre of comedy could be labeled as ‘smart’. I’ve always viewed his genre of comedy (pre podcast) as ‘college boy’ humor.
@commontater8630 I guess you could say ‘smart’ comedy involves making very shrewd/intelligent/original observations and responding to said observations in a creative way. Let’s be honest with ourselves though whatever ‘smart’ comedy is it’s not pre podcast Conan, he was a form of light entertainment with that goofy big brother vibe. My OG comment was kind of a reaction to how weirdly reverential (from both sides) this clip felt.
Did he just imply our politicians are smart? lol no dumb people have messed up the world. Smart people have brought us into the future. This is such a bad take.
@@SkinnyBob and one day you will finally have enough confidence to put your own face as your profile picture, but this will probably only happen after you are 16 years old.
The fake laughing is out of control on this show. Conan does plenty of fake laughing, but Sona Movsesian is literally there to fake laugh; much like Robin Quivers on the Stern show. Despite all this annoying fake laughing, Zach is a smart, funny guest; almost on par with Conan's quick wit.
I love how Conan looked to Sona for validation on his joke…he was asking for the laugh with his eyes haha
"No, Sona? Really? Not even a giggle? Come on... It wasn't that bad. Just fake it!"... and she refused! And that was the funniest thing she could do. Also... the joke was bad, Conan. You deserved it.
Sona is Conan's father figure
And then I love how the joke didn't make her laugh but him looking at her for validation did. He knows how to get a laugh out of her even when he can't.
Zach improving Conan into a radio play was incredible. I love this show, thanks everyone!
"I'm taking karate classes online" is still my fav quote of his.
These guys have astounding comedic chemistry
Though he may soften, Conan will rise again! And then soften... and rise again, much later!
Sounds like you just popped a “coner”
And that’s just his penis!
I see what you did there
The rise of the white anaconda
At first I thought this was deep commentary on the human experience, then I realized it was a penis joke. Either way, I like it.

"I am the wisest man alive, for I know nothing." - Someone smart
Sure. Wtf he might be Jesús resurrected.
4 genuine people in a room laughing won't ever get old.

Two shy boys having fun, until a mean Armenian woman laughed at them.

That is a quaint pre-internet thought.

There’s mental intelligence and emotional intelligence. Emotional is more important but Conan is high in both which is why he’s such a success
Sounds like something a smart person would say Conan. You can't fool me.
his is the only podcast where i'll rewind the ads to hear them again 😅
Sona gave Conan the "nice try idiot" stare😂😂😂😂

Shut up about the sun……SHUT UP, ABOUT THE SUN!!!!!!!

Conan is so smart, his ad's are the only ones I don't skip
7:42 might be the loudest I've ever heard Conan laugh 😂
Mean, unhinged Conan is freaking hilarious 😂
“I went to school with a lot of smart people”. He literally went to Harvard 😂. Conan is the best.
yeah you might have missed the point of what he was saying
@@JeremyForTheWin said the smart guy
@@commontater8630 I see you did not attend college.
@@Marshall_Stacks Oh yeah huh, you see I did not attend college. You got some kind of special telescope?

Conan is at his comedy peak and I absolutely love it.
Conan O'Brien, my daily dose of laughter. :)
Haha, Zach Woods has become the interviewer.
I was suuuuper excited to see the thumbnail of these two together finally. two of my top 5 favorite comedians one one screen... now I don't have to watch TWO things. thank you.
you have an elite taste, may I ask the other three?
Love you conan❤
There's always one joke that anchors a Comedy fan to a Comedian... "You saw the Crucible... that play about the... and you were like that's aspirational"
God I love Zach so much and this whole clip is so so honest and interesting. Love "famous" people discussing fame and mythomania
Run, rabbit hole, run.

However, I will always vote for the smartest person. It's really easy at the moment.
Heart over smart❤

Please upload the arm wrestling match soon i’m dying to see it
It's really unfortunate that smart doesn't equal thoughtful.
Tell Steve I liked that space ark bit.
this is great😄👏👏👏
man I didn't expect to laugh that hard at a John Updike joke lol
Brilliant
I hope Zach gets Conan back soon to ask him more questions
The correct word is Arrived. So Conan has arrived now. He's done everything in the past, and now at this point he's arrived as the final product of what was in the manufacture in the line of life..
Nice
Usually as you get older you mellow out
Good interview with Skeleton Man.
I appreciate Conan for not surrounding his brand completely around Politics. Just some funny quips here and there. Every late night host has completely morphed into that solely and it’s sooo boring.
I appreciate Conan for knowing what he's best at and sticking wit it. Seth Meyers deals with political matters, and he is both good at it and funny.
Well he tried his hands at it with the whole 20 part comercial on how amazing Haiti is when Trump called it a shithole. That didn't age well...
@@info1418maga continues to cry in public because they're scared of nonwhites
Hmmm, is this a butthurt scenario for conservative fools, @dynamicsvho ?
Everything is political. If you think Conan might be a Trumper, you're very confused.
Says someone named Woods. There is a joke somewhere here.
4:19 Forget Miller Lite, I want to know where to purchase Merle Lite
I've always differentiated between 'smart' and 'clever'. I'm always suspicious of clever people.
I'm curious if you will have Howie Mandel on or go on his podcast I'm curious. I bet Howie's daughter and
Sona movsesn would get a long very similar sense of humor
Conan might not be a rocket scientist, but he's obviously very smart
He''s right. Extracting one type of thinking and generalizing it as a sum of all intelligence is itself stupid. Ironic.
Where is jordan?
Agree smart means nothing
Smart means a lot, just not at harvard
Yeah, Mr Smartypants
IT's a choice to not mention Harvard by name while wearing a crimson sweatshirt.
Somehow Conan is even funnier when his joke totally failed, even with Sona
So when talking about smart- you are definitely not talking about the guy you voted for right? hahahah
Convicted Felon Donald Trump is happy to tell anyone who will listen what a genius he is because his uncle taught at MIT.

Is this Zach Woods Needs A Friend? Nice job turning the tables on Conan Zach.
Flaccid is a better adjective.
Is that a Silicon Valley reference
They should be nicer to Zach
Where's the fun in that?
As someone who has been called smart their whole life, yeah, it's hugely overrated.
Same. I used to tell em that I was intelligent, but if I was smart I’d have used it for better purposes. Now I just say thank you.
I used to be called smart when I was younger. I don't know what the hell happened.
Appreciate all of this, but don’t underestimate the irreparable harm done by average intelligence applied to good intentions. It’s in the news constantly.

The only people I find are overly proud of their intelligence are political people.
Smart? Why is he good at math or something?
Who? Conan ? He went to Harvard, has an incredible culture, knows all american history
Conan seems like a lovely guy and I’ve really enjoyed this podcast but I don’t really understand how his genre of comedy could be labeled as ‘smart’. I’ve always viewed his genre of comedy (pre podcast) as ‘college boy’ humor.

How about another trip to the great country of Haiti?
How about you dry those maga tears?
Did he just imply our politicians are smart? lol no dumb people have messed up the world. Smart people have brought us into the future. This is such a bad take.
Does Conan still think Haiti is already great?
Daily maga tears
Thought I told you to be quiet. This is your last warning.

and you became an idiot
