And I believe it's pretty real. Working in NYC for a few years around those in or near the biz, heard lots of negative stories about De Niro. None about Pacino. My friend was on his way to or from an audition and bumped into Pacino in 2002 when he was performing Salome on Broadway. My friend had his head shot and told Pacino how much he was a fan and asked if he could sign it. He said Pacino looked around to see, I guess to make sure there weren't a ton of people around, signed it quickly and walked off. That's awesome!
Congrats Conan, you deserved this one. You worked so hard for us your entire career, I'm sincerely happy you got to have this time with Al. I couldn't be happier seeing how happy this made you. Happiness spread through happiness.
Man, Al pacino was always awkward in small time interviews and he never relaxed, but here I really loved him, but also I appreciate his acting roles more, because the contrast is crazy. He's reserved person,... I have so much more respect and love for Al pacino after this podcast
@@talkingheadsforever I don't know... I mean when I heard that Kong wasn't even acting for most of his scenes and did 90% of his own stunts, he might be above them
That was great to watch Conan be so truly happy to interview somebody he admires...I have never valued Conan more than I do lately...I feel like my own wit gets sharper just by listening to Conan interview...always great questions...hilarious reactions....interesting guests and everybody is just being honest, open, interested...no posers...my friends and I would always get tickets to watch Dave Letterman tape his show at 30 Rock when we were in HS & college...I sooo regret that we never got tickets to Conan...100% our loss.
It's funny that they tried to make De Niro and Pacino into rivals so much so that they made up the rumour that they never shot the Heat diner conversation together since you never see their face on screen at the same time they made up that body doubles were used.
That was awesome. Being such a big fan of conan for over 20 years, and seeing him talk to one of his heroes and for Pacino to reciprocate was really cool to see
Heat is one of my all time favorite movies ever. Phenomenal acting from Pacino and De Niro, and Val Kilmer’s best role too. Just epic movie all around. I cried at the final scene between the two Titans because you’re rooting for the anti-hero. Just great great movie. If you haven’t watched it already, do yourself a favor and go watch this weekend
@@gerrydooley951 the shootout scene is particularly special because the director chose to keep the sound of the actual gunfire in the scene so it sounded real. That was not added back in post production or anything, it was as it sounded while being filmed. I think that’s pretty cool. Perfectly fine if it’s not your cup of tea
God bless Al. What a human being. We share the same birthday, although 40 years apart, and I think about him every year on our day. He's a gift to the world and a true artist.
This is the best interview/podcast in Coco history . Al Pacino is the funniest,nicest and warmest guest . Wow , every minute is gold . Thank you Conan and crew and of course the amazing Al Pacino .👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻
Was that before or after he decided men can have babies and advocated for sex changes for children? Maybe it was one of those Diddy parties that did it to him?
I kinda wana see him do scarface but I think it would actually be frightening to see him transition from how is he is here to that. Can't get any better that what he gave us as an actor. It was art what he did.
For most Godfather and Scarface are ppls most beloved AP favs, but for me it's Carilto's Way (hint Viggo also stars in it, I didn't catch when LOTR came out) and Scent of a Woman.
@@Revolver1981 Yes, but he is an american actor, and people in the states has all kinds of different roots to their surnames. I already Said I’m bad at Spelling. Why do you pick on me, when I was being in aw about him, even if I’m bad at spelling it.
Is it finally over? Can I open all videos and watch them now instead of drip feeding over a week taking me out of the moment? Hate the way everything is clicks and carrot on a stick. Love you, Conan.
I also love that scene between Pacino and Robert De Niro in Heat. My favorite scene with Pacino was when his character and Jack Lemmon’s role play to deceive the client, played by Jonathan Price, in Glengarry Glen Ross.
You're sitting across from Michael Corleone, Tony Montana, Carlito Brigante, Lt. Vincent Hanna, John Milton, Benjamin 'Lefty' Ruggiero, Frank Serpico, Sonny Wortzik, Marvin Shwarz, Meyer Offerman. That's wild!!!!
A lot of "Heat" was based off of real people and the diner scene actually happened in real life. The real cop that Pacino's character was based on pulled over the thief he had been trying to catch, who as really named Neil McCauley, and asked him if he wanted to get coffee and he accepted.
@@gerrydooley951 Michael Mann said it himself. He talks about it on the DVD. It's very well documented. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heat_(1995_film) en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chuck_Adamson So, there.
I never knew Pacino had such a great sense of humour. He was laughing in all the right places to Conan's stuff during this cast and then was doing a full napkin bit. "They don't send any NAPKINS?!?" (7:32) Genuine belly laughs from everyone at the table. I'm sure Sona can definitely relate to that one, not getting napkins with a delivered meal to the office (that she of course used Conan's name to expedite).
When Conan mentioned the Diner scene in Heat, I immediately searched on YT and rewatched that scene. It brought me back. Man, it was intense. Can't believe it was nearly 30 years ago. I'm happy for Al Pacino! The iconic legend.
I have a line from the diner scene of Heat burnt into my brain because it was the preview and so whenever I think about that movie I just think about “You got a wife?”
I was surprised to see a T-Mobile advert at the beginning of the clip. Does this provider also exist in the USA? I thought we Germans had been failing economically everywhere lately, so I was not only surprised but also confused that something was still going on. Thanks to Conan and Sona, it was also an advert that I enjoyed watching.
As of June 2024, T-Mobile is the second largest wireless provider in the US behind Verizon and ahead of AT&T. Deutsche Telekom is the majority shareholder of T-Mobile US.
I'm going to have to get his book. I love stories about the process of how some of my favorite films were made. I have to go back and watch 'Heat' just to view it knowing that their meeting was done without polishing off the edges first.
Conan...You Are On Next Level Now. Please Try & Strive To Get Eastwood, Nicholson, Hoffman, Hackman If They Are Willing & Able. I Remember How Lovingly You Had Classic Entertainers On Late Night Like Frank Gorshin...You Always Gave Time & Props To The Legends.....Just Like David.
Conan's description of the DeNiro-Pacino meeting in "Heat" is reminiscent of two combatants shaking hands/ bowing/ saluting to each other before their bout.
That quiet understated scene was so EPIC! Like Godzilla and King Kong having a battle of wits and you cannot decide who is more awesome so your mind is just blown.
You've spoken & joked around to so many "greats",....I am reminded of your time with the famous German filmmaker, Werner Herzog. And how the conversation veered off the tracks into jokey comments about "Honey Boo-boo".
The Conan podcast is so much better than his Tonight Show. The Tonight Show just feels like it’s a show for fake people or sheep, but he seems like a real genuine dude.
After everything Pacino has accomplished in life, it's unreal how humble he is.
And I believe it's pretty real. Working in NYC for a few years around those in or near the biz, heard lots of negative stories about De Niro. None about Pacino.
My friend was on his way to or from an audition and bumped into Pacino in 2002 when he was performing Salome on Broadway.

He said Pacino looked around to see, I guess to make sure there weren't a ton of people around, signed it quickly and walked off. That's awesome!
Right? ❤
Pacino is as real and humble as it gets. Unfortunately, De Niro is the polar opposite.
He has down to earth personality like an every man
@@rubicon-oh9kmMr warmth said it best .. he is described one of the best actors of all time .. just ask him
It was great to see Al Pacino so nice and personable. It was nice to see him so relaxed and comfortable.
You can tell he's picking up that Conan's reverence is genuine and not just tryna kiss his ass
never ending cringe comments...
Congrats Conan, you deserved this one. You worked so hard for us your entire career, I'm sincerely happy you got to have this time with Al. I couldn't be happier seeing how happy this made you. Happiness spread through happiness.
do you spend a lot of time thinking about Conan's happiness?
What a great comment. You rule
@@gerrydooley951only when I’m hungover on Mondays
Wait! He never interviewed Al Pacino during his talk show days?!
The end of this was so heartwarming. Conan and Pacino are two of my favorites.
I wanna see them in a buddy cop movie. Wild Hairs 🌊🌊👱🧒 Rated R. Starts Friday at a Netflix near you
This was probably my favorite episode of the podcast ever. Al is such a legend and still sharp in his old age.
He is only 64 years old!
@@ASDasdSDsadASD-nc7lf That’s optimistic
@@ASDasdSDsadASD-nc7lfNo. He is 51.

I realized that that's what had me so enthralled this interview, like whoa wait, that's Tony Montana? I love how gentlemanly he actually is.
maybe he was just acting relaxed
Pacino has never been this comfortable with anyone else. I loved watching this.
I feel like Conan can’t handle Pacino being a fan of his work… like a humble denial
I've seen him with his family and he was happier with Conan
@@gerrydooley951 lmfao
Heat was The King Kong vs Godzilla of Acting
Although Pacino and De Niro probably have better range…
@@talkingheadsforever I don't know... I mean when I heard that Kong wasn't even acting for most of his scenes and did 90% of his own stunts, he might be above them
Watch Pacino's other film, Glengarry Glen Ross. It's an acting clinic by everyone in the movie.
how many ducks will i suck?
@@4seeableTVgimme me a pack of gum, I’ll show you how to chew it

You were very lucky to see Dave at NBC
That’s awesome. I actually got to see Conan in LA at the peak of his TBS era. He was exactly how you’d expect him to be.
Conan and Pacino. This is so many of our dream chat. Both great people, spectacularly talented and yet remain humble. Incredible
well one is very talented.
Pacino needs to do more podcasts, he’d have so many great stories to tell
Last I saw him was the “my eyes see Oppenheimer” gaffe so I was elated to see him this lucid and reminiscent!
he tells the same stories all the time, just like all these guys. They are on auto-pilot, plus they're so old now their memories can't be trusted
@@gerrydooley951why are all your comments rude? Just watch something you enjoy
It's funny that they tried to make De Niro and Pacino into rivals so much so that they made up the rumour that they never shot the Heat diner conversation together since you never see their face on screen at the same time they made up that body doubles were used.
Greatness respect others Greatness. Both Thespian knew they were cut from the same cloth. ❤❤👑👑👣👣👣👣👣👣👣👣✍🏾
He's really thoughtful, nice to see someone humble at the top
I think he's just acting
This was great, you can tell they really had a great time doing this, was like best friends catching up after some time apart.
That was awesome. Being such a big fan of conan for over 20 years, and seeing him talk to one of his heroes and for Pacino to reciprocate was really cool to see
One of the greatest Coco interviews I've seen in all my 25 years of watching dear sweet Cocoloco. 😊
that's really not saying much
He's an icon of a generation yet so humble and down to earth
Multiple gens
And also Al Pacino.
Heat one of the greatest films ever made. Everything about it is so special
Heat is one of my all time favorite movies ever. Phenomenal acting from Pacino and De Niro, and Val Kilmer’s best role too. Just epic movie all around. I cried at the final scene between the two Titans because you’re rooting for the anti-hero.
Just great great movie.

I was born in 1974, my Father named me Michael because of Michael Corleone!
His last comment to Conan - Thank you babe 🥰
What an absolute class act. Thank you Conan, and thank you Al for this gift. 💜

I would love to see another movie with Pacino and De Niro. Two legends!
yeah where they fight for control of an old folks home
Release the full clip!
Unskippable ad reads in shorts. Man, we’re just running full speed back to 1990’s cable.
Al Freaking Pacino. What a Legend. Thx for everything sir !
Al, you're inspiring to see how humble you are.
great interview Conan....you were fabulous with Al.
Love this interview. Couldn’t have went anywhere near this depth on a normal tv talk show.
Bought it on audible and already 2 hours in, excellent book
2:01 - "They're doing a take later" - underrated joke 😂
Al Pacino is a national treasure! Thank you for such a heart warming interview. Al was/is always a class act!
That scene in Heat where they finally meet each other and share screen time was one of the most iconic movie moments I have experienced.
Was that before or after he decided men can have babies and advocated for sex changes for children? Maybe it was one of those Diddy parties that did it to him?
Like seeing Bugs and Woody in the same picture!
@@istdochallesegal3427 this is the magic of the movies
Peanut butter and jelly, chocolate and peanut butter, Coverdale/ Paige, Shrek and donkey,
Conan get the tmobile sponsor. The big bag. He earned it.
This conversation between Conan and Al Pacino was magic.
I've listened to the whole interview probably 4 times now. Al Pacino is absolutely lovely! Definitely ordered his book.
Nothing but love for Al 👌🏼
The audio version of Sonny Boy is fantastic with Al’s divine narration!
I kinda wana see him do scarface but I think it would actually be frightening to see him transition from how is he is here to that. Can't get any better that what he gave us as an actor. It was art what he did.
Just got my book today.. Al is the warmest personable kind sincere and funniest and humble actor of all time!! I just love him!!!!!❤
Al Pacino is my GOAT, humble, sophisticated, great guy with great personality and incredible talent 🐐🏆
Thanks for this conversation!
So sweet, you've humanized an icon & I loved it!!
For most Godfather and Scarface are ppls most beloved AP favs, but for me it's Carilto's Way (hint Viggo also stars in it, I didn't catch when LOTR came out) and Scent of a Woman.
Even the greats don’t think there gonna pull it off while they are pulling it off
It’s truly helpful to hear
Wow. Pacino is delightful.
I just love Al Pacino and how humble he is!❤❤❤🇸🇪
Pacino💙
You've disgraced yourself spelling the great man's name wrong.
@@Revolver1981 Sorry, my spelling in English is bad overal. Since It not my native language.
@@giajensen1689 Al has an Italian surname.
@@Revolver1981 Yes, but he is an american actor, and people in the states has all kinds of different roots to their surnames. I already Said I’m bad at Spelling. Why do you pick on me, when I was being in aw about him, even if I’m bad at spelling it.
That joke didn’t get heard I think, but that guy saying “ they are going to do a take later” was hilarious!

@@vaguerantwhat?? 🤣🤣 where did that come from buddy lol
@@vaguerant YES! Thank you! Couldn’t remember his name
Goriey, is that you?
I always pay attention to what Gurley and Sona say through Conan's rants they're very funny 😂
He's been a delight to watch all these years.
3:12 this is my favorite "Upstairs, Downstairs" episode
Is it finally over? Can I open all videos and watch them now instead of drip feeding over a week taking me out of the moment? Hate the way everything is clicks and carrot on a stick.

That was pretty damn good. I did not expect Al Pacino to be that funny and outgoing. Might be my favorite Conan Needs a Friend.
Maybe it's the age or maybe it's just him, I don't know, but that is one humble man. He makes Conan look like a diva and that is saying something.
Always knew AP could be Funny but didn’t know He could be THIS FUNNY ! God Bless

What a sweetheart of a guy. This was a great interview.
That ending was so nice. I think if I met Al Pacino, I'd probably break down.
I always remember the "barbecues and ballgames" line from that scene in Heat, one of my all time favorite films.
Love Al and love Conan. Two legends
HEAT..... what a movie
AL Pacino.... Conan.... Conan u rock!!. Mr Pacino the best ever?
Just purchased the audiobook Sonny Boy, gonna listen tonight at work, very stoked

Thanks for clarifying - I could tell he didn't say "Conan" but I wasn't sure what he said...
One of my favorite Conan podcasts ever!!
Can we get Al Pacino on every week? Legend.
He's so right about Dustin Hoffman. Those three are the best, followed very shortly by Jack Nicholson.
When Conan mentioned the Diner scene in Heat, I immediately searched on YT and rewatched that scene. It brought me back. Man, it was intense. Can't believe it was nearly 30 years ago. I'm happy for Al Pacino! The iconic legend.

Holy sh.. Pacino & Conan in the same room. My life is complete 😊
This was you getting your flowers. We’re all al Pacino.

Me too, hoping he'll have a couple sentences about Cruising
The end was beautiful Conan. 🫶🏽
