I don’t know about humble, but rhythm wise this was of the best episodes of the podcast. Never particularly cared for the guy, but what an absolute pro!
Billy Crystal's sharp wit and calm demeanor whilst delivering real bangers was unmatched. Beyond that, he just had a unique panache like Robin W or Eddie M or Pryor or Steve M that stood out. Treasure of a performer.
After Robin Williams died, Billy was talking to Whoopie and said he used to have very long phone conversations with Robin. They would go into adlibbed bits and not even talk as themselves, just riffing off each other. Some of those conversations must have been gems 😂❤
I grew up with Saturday Night Live, but I'm old enough now that my memory is hazy. I was surprised when Billy Crystal reminded us that he'd only been there a year. In my mind, he's a fixture. Like he was there for years. That's how good he was.
I remember that SNL with Billy as Fernando interviewing "Barry Manilow." That year with him, Christopher Guest, Harry Shearer, Martin Short, and others was one of the best. It was during the period that Lorne Michaels was away, I believe the season just before he returned to produce the show again, so you don't see it repeated as often anywhere, sadly.
At 5:05 Billy brings up needing 2 minutes to get a laugh, then almost exactly 2 minutes later he gets a huge laugh... I choose to believe he knew what he was doing
I saw that Fernando’s Hideaway with “Barry Manilow” and thought it was hilarious. I was too young to see it the first time around, but I’d see repeats of SNL growing up somehow. Maybe they did more prime time specials than I realized, but I saw all those great skits from the 70s and 80s after in the mid to late 80s. Billy Crystal is a treasure and cannot think of a movie of his I didn’t like.
That Florida Keys montage with Billy & Gregory is pure dopamine. Can turn any bad mood around. Would love to hear Billy Crystal talk more about that movie.
I heard it on Inside the Actors Studio. The movie was "Shane" and at the end when Alan Ladd rides off the little boy calls out after him "Come back Shane! Come back!" Billie says "Oh he ain't never coming back!"
For anyone reading this, and you're a fan of Billy Crystal and never watched his Running Scared, please do. It's a hilarious buddy cop comedy with Gregory Hines. I highly recommend
@@fargoretrothe ads are put directly in the video by Team Coco, having TH-cam premium will not remove them. I have it and the ads are still annoying and interrupt mid sentence
No it's not. All you need to do is press right on your keyboard or double/triple tap on your phone a few times to skip. Easy. It's like complaining about having to fast forward on a movie scene you don't like. There are SO many harder things to do in this world.
I understand the ads are necessary... but we all know there is NO WAY Sona will put her house on Airbnb😅 She didn't even want to sit in a taxi🤭 But appreciate the effort lol
Can anyone explain why they don't show the entite podcast in video, but only clips? I want to see Billy Crystal and Al Pacino but it's only audio on Spotify and a couple 8min clips on yt. They clearly shot the podcast, why not air the entire podcast then? So frustrating
Crystal/Winkler or Winkler/Crystal 2024 Is what we need if we are going to have celebrity presidents. Not kidding. (And Conan as press secretary lolol) Billy and Eddie saved the show btw…if you were alive at the time, you know how almost all of Crystals characters were “viral” at the time.
My name is, Brennan Johnson I am Marian Gold online manager. He requested I connect you with him yesterday, he saw your profile while scrolling through his page and your picture caught his attention!!
I like Billy Crystal, he’s great. That said, if I’m honest, I’ll take a fourth monologue from George Carlin over a tight five from a 25-year old Billy Crystal every time.

I realize that most people that have TH-cam channels are monetizing their content. We live in a capitalistic society so I get it. But when I paid for TH-cam Premium I expected not to have to sit through commercials. I see now that expectation was faulty. I can’t speak for anyone else but as soon as someone starts advertising something I immediately turn it off. If I subscribe to a channel that continues to push a product or service I unsubscribe. I’m sure I’m not alone in this.
Gen Z: Who's Conan? Millennials: Who's Billy Crystal? Gen X: Oh he was great in City Slickers. Glad he's still alive. Boomers: Oh that kid? Gen A: Goo Goo Gaa Bird.
The placement of the ads in the last three of Conan's videos I've watched is terrible! I know the ads have to be there, but maybe not mid-conversation. Let a thought be finished. I've simply given up on this video. It completely crashed what Billy and co. were discussing.

I could listen to Billy Crystal tell stories all day. Dude is a legend and so humble.
I don’t know about humble, but rhythm wise this was of the best episodes of the podcast. Never particularly cared for the guy, but what an absolute pro!
Oh, he's humble alright... You ask him! He'll tell ya!
Lucky you, he's on Graham Norton this week
@@MasonSpencer-zg4lf Telling some of the same stories, more than likely!
Every time I see this comment under a video of someone in their 70s, the person it refers to dies less than a year later
Billy Crystal just comes across as a wholesome and genuine guy. I could listen to him talk for hours.

Geez, I really miss that guy. I still can't believe he's gone... 😔😥🥺
Billy Crystal was always grounded, that’s the secret to any long career.
“These things are so much bigger than us. Everyone’s trajectory is probably the trajectory they’re supposed to have.” It’s true.

Running Scared was strangely my first Billy Crystal exposure. Running around Chicago in the snow with Gregory Hines, it was fun.
That year Billy was on SNL was my favorite year ever!
Man, I've been watching you for years, and still feels like yesterday when Soap aired.
Soap was great. So funny
SOAP saved me from taking myself out. I wanted to disappear, and thought about Bert.
Thanks, I was trying to think of my first Encounter with Billy. Oh my I am 85, That was awhile ago.
Lorne’s vision for the first episode was Crystal clear
Beautifully done.
Since my father killed himself I’ll be mad at you for this ridiculously good dad joke.
*slow clap
Woaaaaww, ya know.
It was cleared of crystal honestly.
Billy has aged well.
Yes, he's looking so good!~
He looks marvelous!
He's always had that entertaining older uncle tone and cadence in his voice. So his voice and way of speaking hasn't changed a bit.
The Hideaway with Hulk Hogan and Mr. T is one of my all-time favorite SNL sketches, possibly THE greatest.
Only time I ever saw Mr T laugh.
When Harry Met Sally is just THE romantic movie for me

Best thing that happened to Bill. Soap was hilarious, and who can forget When Harry Met Sally, stroke of genius 😊
At 5:05 Billy brings up needing 2 minutes to get a laugh, then almost exactly 2 minutes later he gets a huge laugh... I choose to believe he knew what he was doing
He did that jungle skit at University of Florida's Gator Growl 1n 1986, bowl of Potatoe chips, audience doing bird calls, never forget it. Great bit!
One of my ALL time favorites, billy crystal, Bill Murray and Eddie Murphy
Oh my God how could I forget Robin Williams

It was something like an earlier version of when Kumail Nanjiani couldn't make his appearance on _Conan_ and Sona stepped in to be interviewed.
This was an amazing episode, love Billy Crystal! Anyone remember him in "Running Scared" with Gregory Hines? Great movie.
They don't paay me noo moore
That Florida Keys montage with Billy & Gregory is pure dopamine. Can turn any bad mood around. Would love to hear Billy Crystal talk more about that movie.
@@kowalski5599 Sweet Freedom!
That was a great movie.
great movie
Billy looks great. Legend. He should have his own awards show. The Billy Crystals Awards.
*Billy has the best anecdote of Billie Holiday babysitting him and taking him to the movies.*
I heard it on Inside the Actors Studio. The movie was "Shane" and at the end when Alan Ladd rides off the little boy calls out after him "Come back Shane! Come back!" Billie says "Oh he ain't never coming back!"

I've just re-watched City Slickers yesterday...
I love this man, so genuine in heart and talent.
I remember watching that moment on TV “You have no lines Gary”
12:45 “Manilow just canceled” then “WHAT ARE YOU-“ 😂. We gotta get Barry Manilow on the podcast.
Fabulous Bill Crystal 👏🏼👏🏼
If Billy is 75 he is going to live forever, he looks incredible! Conan looks like expired deli.
He looks marvellous
@@davidjdailey indeed
One of the best episodes in ages. So many good stories
We're all watching like Sona at 9:40. Billy is a Legend!
Sona is pretty much the audience we lost on the Conan show.
Comedy off the cuff masterclass stuff folks!
The ads interrupting the stories is infuriating.
TH-cam premium is the only subscription service that is worth it
Soon as ad pops up, I hit pause, slide cursor to end of ad, hit play, five seconds, max. Painless.
@@fargoretrothe ads are put directly in the video by Team Coco, having TH-cam premium will not remove them. I have it and the ads are still annoying and interrupt mid sentence
Yeah? How much did you pay Conan to watch this content? Nothing? And yet you'll still complain.
No it's not. All you need to do is press right on your keyboard or double/triple tap on your phone a few times to skip. Easy.
It's like complaining about having to fast forward on a movie scene you don't like. There are SO many harder things to do in this world.
I could listen to Billy tell all his stories and man! He loves to talk as well, Conan had to wrap up 3 times during podcast.
love team coco
I understand the ads are necessary... but we all know there is NO WAY Sona will put her house on Airbnb😅 She didn't even want to sit in a taxi🤭 But appreciate the effort lol
I loved Soap. Such memories of comedy. Thank you Billy.
Billy looks great!
Everybody keeps repeating
"that You will never fall in love"
when everybody keeps retreating
but you can't seem to get enough
Did he ever find Curlys gold?!
Yes... Didn't you watch the second one?
Yes, he found the one thing lol
_Hellooooo_
Yes. It was his finger.
I wonder why Billy Crystal and Christopher Guest never worked together after SNL? They had great chemistry together.
I love Billy Crystal
Can anyone explain why they don't show the entite podcast in video, but only clips? I want to see Billy Crystal and Al Pacino but it's only audio on Spotify and a couple 8min clips on yt. They clearly shot the podcast, why not air the entire podcast then? So frustrating
I absolutely loved SOAP. It was a masterpiece!!!
His was one of the best seasons
I clicked one Billy Crystal video and my feed is all Billy. I'm not sad about it.
Comedian, talk show host, Philippine Security, etc. - you have quite the resume Conan
Crystal/Winkler or Winkler/Crystal 2024
Is what we need if we are going to have celebrity presidents.
Not kidding.
(And Conan as press secretary lolol)
Billy and Eddie saved the show btw…if you were alive at the time, you know how almost all of Crystals characters were “viral” at the time.
The AIRBNB bit was so funny
Billy looks real good. Dunno what he's doing, but it's working for him.
Nando was the smash hit, but I liked the two handers he did with Chris Guest. Night watchmen especially... "Ball Peen Hammer?"
Out in the street anybody you meet has a heartache of their own
Dude is almost 80, a Legend and that moment stays with him to thos day.
Matt was pretty vocal on his podcast on how much he doesn't like Billy Crystal comedy. Makes sense he isn't on this episode.
12:50 is just a delightful insight. lol
Shout out to Bobby!
AD ends 5:06
But you, darling, hmm, you look mahvelous - Fernando Lamas. Comedy Gold!
One of the funniest men in comedy, Soap!!!!
I LOVE Billy Crystal ❤
I wonder if the few dislikes on this video are from Jordan Schlansky sock accounts. 🤔🤭
My name is, Brennan Johnson I am Marian Gold online manager. He requested I connect you with him yesterday, he saw your profile while scrolling through his page and your picture caught his attention!!
Hard to believe Billy Crystal is an altercocker. He's older than Buddy Young, Jr.
excuse me while i search youtube for this Busey clip...
Someone! Get this man a nice MLT, stat!
"Billy I need two minutes"
*cut to commercial*
uh oh...
Billy....you look marrrrrrvelous!
Very good
Get you someone who looks at you like Sona looks at Billy Crystal.
I like Billy Crystal, he’s great. That said, if I’m honest, I’ll take a fourth monologue from George Carlin over a tight five from a 25-year old Billy Crystal every time.
Excellent guest choice, Conan! I hope you bring him back and he wants to, because, well, i think it would be considered kidnapping, otherwise. 😅
The cut off in the middle are annoying do it at the end
Billy somehow looks better than he did like a year ago.. 😅
My name is, Brennan Johnson I am Marian Gold online manager. He requested I connect you with him yesterday, he saw your profile while scrolling through his page and your picture caught his attention!!
A great interview, is Billy. Kevin Pollak is the other fave
Glad to hear it didn’t play out like in the movie. In the movie the female comedian does him dirty. 😂
Gregory Hines and Billy Crystal
Were so good in Bad Boys.
I mean a Running Scared.
Same thing😊
Conan almost sounds more like Billy than Billy does
Is the Billy Crystal Gary Busey moment on youtube?
Billy, you are a joy
Will there be a Mr. Saturday Night 2?
Conan…you alright man?

its too damn sultry in here
Comedy Icon. Even his voice works shines! All the Gens in my house (GenAlpha - Boomer) constantly quote Mike Wazowski🤭👁💚
One of Lorne's mistakes, not keeping Billy and his sketch. I'm sure it would have been funny!
👍🏻

This guys never gonna make it
Billy and Gary Busey...

seems pretty normal to me

The least funny guy to ever make it big in comedy. Tim Heidecker was right from the beginning making fun of this hack.

Why are they only making a 15 minute vids and running ads? I'll gladly sit through the ads but give us a whole episode. Money first I guess.
