I love how humble he is. Totally downplaying his accomplishment while building up everyone else around him regardless of their formal education credentials.
That’s why his Podcast Conan O’Brien needs a friend is so good. I’ve enjoyed every single episode I listened to, whether I knew the guest or not, or whether it was a celebrity or fan lol he’s arguably better without a script than he was with one on late night
Geez, Conan is such a genius he wrote on the Simpsons, hosted the best late night talk show of all time, and fed The Rock lines for the WWE. They don't teach that at Harvard!
@@90whatever For me it's Carson (almost cheating to include Carson, but if we're ranking everyone), with Ferguson a close second and then Conan. All three were/are true greats.
Conan just might be the greatest comedy minds of a generation, yet remains so humble everyone can actually picture themselves, no matter of background, education, or even not having anything to do with the comedy business, having actual conversation with in person.
I've always loved that catchphrase and instantly remembered it when The Rock said it all those years ago. I love it even more now I know the origin of the phrase. Conan is a legend and a genuine lovely person.
@@donmogsleyforever he wrote a few episodes and I believe a staff writer so he wasn't always credited as writer on those early seasons but still contributed.
Conan has definitely gotta be one of if not the best late night talk show host. He is extremely smart and funny. Very humble. He jokes around but also treats people with respect and you can tell he gets a long with a lot of people.
Conan and The Rock are great together. I remember when Conan interviewed him on his late night show, it was always hilarious. Mind blowing to know that Conan wrote one of The Great One's one liners
I used to love that.Anytime a guest would mention be went to Harvard he would correct them and say Harvard school of driving. I always wanted a Harvard School of Driving T-shirt
Is Conan coming back? I loved his Conan without borders and watching him travel and interact with people. He is hilarious. He should return with a show where he travels the world
I started watching Conan by mistake. When I was in the 4th grade I was packing late at night for a trip to Mexico. It was conans first season at Late Night. I was hooked.
I loved the Tommy Blacha shout-out. That he oversaw the diamonding of Ten Minute Podcast is heartbreakingly unfortunate ‘cos he is a great comedic mind
The Rock also coined the name "Coco" for Conan during an episode of the show because he learned that Conan's name is Conan Christopher O'Brien which is how the name "Coco" was born.
To be fair, it used to be a lot easier to get into Harvard. Nowadays you need a 4.5 GPA, the big ring from Lord of the Rings, and reference letters from the hierarchy of extraterrestrials using the Earth for their own nefarious purposes.
I love how humble he is. Totally downplaying his accomplishment while building up everyone else around him regardless of their formal education credentials.
I agree
Conan gets the $$$s. So .... that's a plus?
@@lasotamusic what?
And that's why we love conan.
He learned that at Harvard
I could listen to Conan talk forever. He’s so genuine, funny, and interesting.
He's the only talk show host that's likable. His comedic timing is always perfect. Creates humor from absolutely nothing
That’s why his Podcast Conan O’Brien needs a friend is so good. I’ve enjoyed every single episode I listened to, whether I knew the guest or not, or whether it was a celebrity or fan lol he’s arguably better without a script than he was with one on late night
Lucky for you, he's great at talking forever
Agreed. I could listen to Conan talk about anything.
….and better than you😊.
Geez, Conan is such a genius he wrote on the Simpsons, hosted the best late night talk show of all time, and fed The Rock lines for the WWE. They don't teach that at Harvard!
How could you FORGET....ALSO a writer on SNL
I would argue that Craig Ferguson was probably the best late night talk show host with Conan a very close 2nd
@@90whatever For me it's Carson (almost cheating to include Carson, but if we're ranking everyone), with Ferguson a close second and then Conan. All three were/are true greats.
He didnt feed the rock lines lmao his assistant left him and used ONE phrase to give to rock 😆
@@90whatever You know what's up
Conan: the joke came from
The Rock: IT DOESN'T MATTER WHERE THAT JOKE CAME FROM!!
100% the correct response😂
When Conan set up the scene I was kind of hoping that it was the "it doesn't matter" line
I miss Conans show so much, It was always my favorite late night talk show. He's so funny, unique and creative.
The best part was that he was genuine.
His podcast is much better and lets him do what he does best: be funny.
Conan was the one of the reasons why early Simpsons was SOOO funny.
Up to season 8. Season 9 was ok.
@@NoName-cn3cp he left way before that. I believe the last episode he wrote on was “Homer Goes to College”
The last good season was 12 I had 1 through 12 on disc and watched them constantly
There's been a new show runner for the last couple seasons, and I think things are picking up.

It's older than Conan. I'm surprised he's trying to take credit for it.
@Frank P I agree. I cant even think of any talk show host I'd put in the top 10.
Sam Hyde
@@positrack99hes not just a talk show host
Conan truly is better than everybody else. He even knows the past tense of 'to sneak'.
Well he went to Harvard, he should know it
@@lewishopps8575that’s elementary level.
Snuck? Is that even a word?
Snook?
Snucked
Conan is one of my favorite human beings of all time. He is in the top 5.
Humble, Hilarious, Hard-Working, Intelligent, Kind, and Crazy. ❤
"Harvard is not Hogwarts..." What a line - very true.
Conan was the one Late Night Show I would actually watch entire episodes of. Thank you, for existing! 💘
I've been a big fan of Conan before the rock... then became a huge rock fan in THAT era. It comes full circle. Soo cool.
I've always loved that catchphrase and instantly remembered it when The Rock said it all those years ago. I love it even more now I know the origin of the phrase. Conan is a legend and a genuine lovely person.
I have about 100 questions for Conan and I think 75% of them would be about The "Homer Goes To College" episode of The Simpsons
He actually wrote the monorail episode
Omg yes!
@@donmogsleyforever he wrote a few episodes and I believe a staff writer so he wasn't always credited as writer on those early seasons but still contributed.
I actually talked about that episode today with my coworker. Those first 10 seasons left a mark.

Fukkk i cant believe shutup juice came from conan Legend!!! My friend used to say that all the time and other rock quotes in grade 6 lmao love it
I remember Conan used to say "I went to Harvard......School of Driving" lol
I used to love that.Anytime a guest would mention be went to Harvard he would correct them and say Harvard school of driving.
I always wanted a Harvard School of Driving T-shirt
I loved the cast of the early years of Conan. The pictures of the nights out were amazing. It was all magic.
And there's the difference between Conan and the others. Jay Leno would have sued The Rock and the WWE.
3:25 for The Rock part
Thanks
Thanks!
You're the goat
Appreciated, though the first part is interesting too if you've got time
Thank you!
Conan is refreshingly humble and absolutely correct that some of the smartest people you know didn't go to college.
By far my top 3 favorite lines from the rock and to find it that was Conan’s idea makes my life so much better
The Rock's delivery makes any material good and go over with the fans.
It doesn't matter!!!!!
Delivery? I thought it was his cooking.
@@Yanni75 No, it’s Digiorno
"IT DOESNT MATTER IF IT WAS CONAN'S LINE"
WHAT?!?!
@@calixa One of The Rock's sayings was "IT DOESN'T MATTER..."
@@Sulu-sw3zo That "WHAT" is a Stone Cold reference...
@@Sulu-sw3zo WHAT!??!
@@calixa IT DOESN'T MATTER!
Is Conan coming back? I loved his Conan without borders and watching him travel and interact with people. He is hilarious.
He should return with a show where he travels the world
currently has his podcast and it's hysterical
@@TheChupacabra he’s got a deal with hbo. Not out of the question
conan without borders and clueless gamer are the best!
@@dethisbtfl I'll have to check it out! Any recommendations for episodes?
@@lukebennet6989 The Paul Rudd episode. 100%
My favorite comedian of all time. Just a great human being.
And so happy that he's found a new lifeblood with his EXCELLENT podcast 🙌
Now I wonder if The Rock actually knew that it was from Conan O'Brien originally. That is awesome!
The rock line is at 3:54
Conan is easily one of my most favorite TV personas ever
Conan's genius is undeniable with his inspiration from classic comedy and his influence on modern comedy.
Really cool to see him giving props to Tommy Blacha. Tommy is hilarious.
Damn just got a bunch Joe Godder flashbacks. He was hilarious.
A great Joel Goddard story. He knew what he was doing 😀
If I were Conan and came across a rough crowd where my jokes just go over their heads, I'd tell them ' I wish everybody had a Harvard diploma! '
Conan is such a builder of people.
That's so Shocking that Conan invented one of the Rock's most FAMOUS lines , (one of the most famous promo lines in Wrestling History)
Not really
Conan is the best late show host of all time.
Conan is the best because through all his successes he’s maintained his humble nature
Wow I remember when The Rock said Shutup Juice
Cool to know that was Conan
I started watching Conan by mistake. When I was in the 4th grade I was packing late at night for a trip to Mexico. It was conans first season at Late Night. I was hooked.
"It's what you do with it", then proceeds to write history
I had no clue Joel Goddard wasn’t a comedian because he was hilarious
That was so cool. So the rock did have writers write shit up for him. His delivery was top notch!
Conan still my favorite Comedian, Talk Show Host, Pod Cast, and Gamer 😂
I love Conan.... he wasn’t always the funniest, but he was always a good human being.
Conan's humor is that Goldilocks zones between silly and witty and its perfection.
I loved the Tommy Blacha shout-out. That he oversaw the diamonding of Ten Minute Podcast is heartbreakingly unfortunate ‘cos he is a great comedic mind
It's so weird to watch him talk seriously. I've always loved Conan.😁
Conan is seriously the best of them
3:24 for The Rock part.
U can see how much admiration Howard has for Conan..
Hell I was happy he replaced Letterman....I was happy he replaced Leno..... I just wish he would replace Jimmy Fallon.
😂😅👍 agreed
I think a broken air fryer could replace Fallon and make a deeper and funnier late night than him
😂😂😂🤔🤔😂😂😂
Nah he should replace Kimmel.
"There's no such place as Hogwarts"
*Oxford and Cambridge dip their newspapers in their smoking jackets and raise an eyebrow each*
I love Conan. He's one of my heroes
Although Conan came up with the catchphrase, it was The Rock's delivery that sold it. Any other wrestler that had that line would have flubbed it.
oh my god, Smackdown era Rock and Conan, these were my formative years
The very last sentence sure hits different now!
Great interview as usual
in about a year, that jacket is going to have used hot wings in the pocket.
Self depreciating comedians are the funniest. And Conan is the best by FAR!!!
The funniest talk show host.
Makes sense that the rocks hilariousness comes from Conan
The Rock also coined the name "Coco" for Conan during an episode of the show because he learned that Conan's name is Conan Christopher O'Brien which is how the name "Coco" was born.
I love how random people appear in these videos; a camera cuts to them seemingly out of the blue. I call them ghost guests.
The Rock character all makes sense now! It's everything Conan does behind the scenes.
Respects for Conan. Many artists would be selfish and try to take credit
Conan on Late Nite NBC was my favorite TV show growing up... Even though he made fun of the Taurus SHO 🤣
Remember when Howard cared about his show more than himself? Those were the days
He sorta said Hulk Hogan's catchphrase and MJF's catchphrase when he was imitating the announcer he mentioned
Conan is an American treasure.
I appreciate the fact that you didn't say national treasure. Such a tired overused expression.
Your take on it is refreshing.
To be fair, it used to be a lot easier to get into Harvard. Nowadays you need a 4.5 GPA, the big ring from Lord of the Rings, and reference letters from the hierarchy of extraterrestrials using the Earth for their own nefarious purposes.
That, or a very hefty donation.
Or money 💰
@@denimchicken104 full house …. Lori….
Conan is better than both Jimmys and Corden by a country mile
He should have mentioned that he got into Harvard through a legacy program. George W got into Yale through the legacy program. It's not that hard.
Stern talking about Harvard being the hardest college to get in... Oxford alum laughing I'm Latin.
The whole world (esp. China) wants to go to Harvard. Oxford is similar but is it even more competitive?
Great for Conan not suing for copyright infringement
Conan one of my two favorite late night hosts ever. The other being Craig Ferguson. Neither one on the air anymore 😭
That was the moment when Conan went into professional wrestling
Conan inadvertently writing for the WWE is incredible 😂
I miss late night with Conan O'Brien..O'Brian... I used to wake up tired every morning to catch at least the opening of the show.
Conan is the greatest late night host of ALL TIME
Social media team knows what clips to upload to get engagement
Love Conan. What a great story.
Howard is impressed by the appeal to authority.
What you're looking for starts at 3:44.
These two men operate at a different level, highly intelligent.
So basically, Conan is saying Harvard's a joke... get it?
Most would sue but Conan was happy for his friend.
Harvard is not the most difficult university to get into 😂
Might be the 1st time I've ever heard Conan swear 😲
Oh please, watch clips from his podcast.
Awesome story, Conan started his late night show kinda sketchy (no pun intended) but that went on to becoming one of the staples of late night TV
It is fair to say, that Conan made Dwayne's career kick into second gear. 😏
I’m still looking for new Conan and Bill Burr clips...
He just did one. On the latest Conan Needs a Friend.
Conan is the all time goat
I love Conan dropping the truth about Ivy league universities. More hype than actual worth.
Imo. The hype is the actual worth.
@@mattwcheese2045 Yes, and connections made while in school -- their best value is in name recognition and networking.
Great story!
I saw a tapping of Conan in April 1994 so that was probably Joel Godard warming us up at that time 😅
We need a Rock + Conan the Comedian action movie comedy.
Conan is the best. Hands down 😂😂😂😂
Unibomber went to Harvard, evaded capture for ages, Zodiac probably went to Harvard too, I suspect they also make the best serial killers at Harvard.
I forgot about Joel Jr was hysterical. Now I miss him and Max
