I feel you... yet I know somehow you (& I, & everyone in need of it) will be able eventually to revisit all those genius, funny, moving moments, because we all need that thing that rings true, and because all of that was made for us, fellow human beings/audience... Thank you for your comment, fellow friend, and I want to wish you the very best! @@acsone3546
Man, the way he keeps doubling down and digging himself deeper into awkwardness while coming up with hilarious lines to keep the audience laughing is pretty amazing. RIP. Describing a penis as a foreign exchange student, lmao. and his own as a semicolon. That is poetry.
I saw this live. It had to be one of the greatest moments on light night television. Conan is so adept at handling stories like this and elevating it to just legendary status so quickly. Richard Lewis will be missed. Such a great talent.
I remembered Bill Murray, Jon Stewart, and a famous female comedian , and it was Max last show before going on tour, and the musical guest was Bruce Springsteen.
The back and forth between Larry and Richard on Curb is some of the best dialogue the show has to offer. I had no idea that they knew each other as kids and hated each other. 😆
Richard holds a special place in my heart..I don't know why but when I was really young, I always recognized him when I saw him. For some reason, he made me feel comfortable and safe when he was on TV...Breaks my heart he's gone now. I wish I got to tell him that
it has and continues to be a very sad period for a lot of people who love comedy...we've lost some truly great comics in recent years..Normie, Gilbert, Bob Saget, fellow Curb star Bob 'Super Dave' Einstein and now Richard. Sometimes life just has no punchline. RIP Richard & thks for the laffs...
I remember watching this when it first aired. I was in a senior in high school and I was was laughing so hard that I woke up my parents. My dad came out all pissed "it's 12:45! I have to be up early for work, what the hell is so funny?!" he started watching this with me and he started cracking up. Both of us there just laughing at Richard Lewis. Man, he'll be missed.
I remember watching this the night it aired. It was the first time I heard of Richard Lewis. It had me laughing so hard that I still think about this clip all the time. I’ve been looking for it on YT for 22 years and it’s finally here. RIP RL thanks for the laughs.
That instant at 4:20 where Lewis realizes that Conan is no longer behind the desk and just waves it off kills me. RL's appearance on Bob Costas' interview show (whidh was as good as it gets) made Costas laugh so much and so long they wouldn't air it. I'd love to see it. RL appeared later and kvetched about being canned for being so good.
Ah, man.....This....THIS!!!! Pure comedy! It started so generically and then just stampeded to Shaq's junk! Richard Lewis is one of those rare birds who has no idea what course he's gonna fly, but it will always be an adventure! RIP, man.
This clip is over 20 years ago and it feels like yesterday
"I was shaking like Marley's ghost" is such a hilarious line.
That's when I started laughing and never stopped until the end lol
he also called Shaq's dong a tax deduction, but it happened really quick lmao
I burst out laughing just now on the damn bus when he said that lmao
One of Conan’s BEST interviews! Rest in peace Richard Lewis. You are a gem ❤️
Man, Richard Lewis was a genius comedian and you could not ignore how moving his soul was behind the funny 💔 RIP ❤
The episode where he needs a kidney always brought me to tears, as it was; I don’t know how I will watch it NOW

His gestures were priceless , the car salesman episode
rip his parakeet
No one has crammed that many laughs into five minutes of a talk show EVER. A Brilliant mind.
the fact that he made knoxville of all people uncomfortable is an incredible feat lol
He never made that face even when Steve-O was doing something messed up.

‘What the hell is that!!???’
@@toreckman8899 I started shaking like I had some sort of disease :(

This episode was so great, Johnny Knoxville, Richard Lewis and David Bowie, probably top 5 best Conan shows

Richard Lewis, Johnny Knoxville, and David Bowie all in the same episode of Conan? That must have been a great episode.
Richard holds a special place in my heart..I don't know why but when I was really young, I always recognized him when I saw him. For some reason, he made me feel comfortable and safe when he was on TV...Breaks my heart he's gone now. I wish I got to tell him that
He’s a good Everyman; relatable
I watched this when it originally aired, I had never laughed so hard in my life. This interview still lives in my head to this day.
RIP Richard Lewis.
He was always the first person I think of regarding their personality as himself in interviews. Clearly a hilarious, delightful person to be around.
"Ona sled, like a foreign exchange student!!'''I almost spit out my tea!! TOOOO FUNNY!

RIP Richard, thanks for the laughs.
Thanks for the laughs, Richard!
An interview that was later Claymated...Bless you, Richard
Simply GOLD. Goodnight Richard. ("We'll be right back with David Bowie"). Post that too!
Saw Richard in Men In Tights as a kid .
He was one of my favorite comedians. Stone cold legend who I will greatly miss.
Love you Richie Boy.
Rest Easy Pal!

"Like a semicolon!" {]X^{D}
My favorite comedian of all time. I can’t believe he’s gone.

What a great dude…he will be missed…im glad he got in this last season…he’s incredible
One of the funniest bits I have ever seen. RIP Richard.
RIP king. (Johnny Knoxville was so traumatized lmaooo)
When Johnny fucking Knoxville is sitting there thinking "this is maybe a little crazy," it must be off the rails, this is hilarious
Rest in laughter
I haven't laughed this hard in awhile 😅😅😅 I'll miss you Richard. Rest in Peace ❤
I always remembered this interview. It was so funny. He was a funny guy. Loved him in Men In Tights. RIP 🪦
Love the 12 Angry Men bit towards the end.
Unexpected appearance of Johnny Knoxville as the other guest at 3:57!
"I think I asked you 'How are you?'"
“We’ll be right back with David Bowie..” killed me, they’re both gone .. :(
One of the the most naturally funny human beings that ever lived. RIP Richard
Crying laughing.... brilliant ❤

Richard Lewis is a genius... He's perfect for Curb. 😂😂😂😂
RIP RICHARD LEWIS. MY CONDOLENCES TO HIS FAMILY AND LARRY DAVID

He'll always be Prince John to me. RIP
"They could put the Chicago fire out with that thing" 😄
"What is that??" -- lol.
Richard, you were the man ❤ 🥰. I can't stop thinking about you 😪🙏. You were the best.
Pure greatness
what a beautiful crazy man. RIP.
Bro I’m crying lmfaoooooooo he pulled Johnny back like come on bruh it’s jokes where you goin 😂😂lmao The only thing
" It has to be a foreign exchange student".....that is right off the cuff genius.
When he pulled Knoxville back 😂😂😂
I’m going to look into his comedy. He’s hilarious
We were lucky to have Richie Lewis.
tax deduction 😂😂😂
he called Shaq's dong a tax deduction 😂😂
This reminds me of the Muggsy Bogues episode 🤣🤣🤣
im sure that was inspired by this
When Conan got up off the desk 😂😂😂😂
Omg what an incredible and hilarious soul. You’ll be missed so very much
I bet shaq's thankful for richard telling the world about his enormous gift!
Conan really stepping on the comedy here
Me: Siri, calculate the number of times Richard Lewis spoke the word "penis" in his life.
Siri: It would be easier to calculate the last digit of pi.
Brilliant 🙌🏼❤️
hes very high energy!
Conan:
"Thank you very much Richard Lewis everybody... will be right back with David Bowie"...
Wow.... let that sink in 😢 💔
First time I’ve seen this interview where it’s not made out of clay
This is the way it was originally on NBC back in the day LOL
RIP Richard he was a legend in curb 💔
Travel into the next life well Richard, thanks for all the laughs, you made our lives better. RIP
I miss the August 1996 interview of these guys. Can't find it.
He was so funny
this lunatic genius is irreplaceable
Absolute chaos :)
R.I.P. to a legend
RIP YOU GENIUS ❤❤❤❤
Why must everything go off the rails with this guy 😆 RIP to a great one
Now that was funny as s#!+! RIP Richard.
Please post the stop motion version too!
It's out there
I showed my husband this clip and he didn't like how hard I laugh about the Shaq story 🤣😂
Lovable guy that Richard Lewis
RIP Sir
So good
Be at peace and travel well, Richard Lewis--brilliant and sui generis.
This does not look like clay animation - how I remember it.
There are so many great moments in Conan's Late Night. Now, all they talk about is politics. I haven't watched late night talk shows in over 7 years.
Damn 02, knoxville and lewis
Wasn’t this also the claymation episode? RIP Richard
When I was younger I always thought he was Jon Stewart’s older brother.
Sad seeing someone of his talent go...
Wait, Richard Lewis was the second guest to Johnny Knoxville?!
Shine on you crazy diamond...RIP
RIP Richard You did real good
Legendary face
We’re going to miss you Richard! Go Buckeyes! Rest In Peace 🕊️
Imagine how Chris Dudley feels
RIP Legend
Richard lewis played Charlies Financer in Two and a Half Men. So funny
Hilarious!
