8:55 Conan’s uncontrollable need to undercut every sweet moment with a joke will never cease to entertain me

[@JackyJames1]

Conan is awesome he went to Harvard he is a Genius

[@jessicak1693]

My 3yo is obsessed with Leo and I've been an Adam sandler fan forever so I'm excited to show him your work as he gets older 🖤

[@moneymanifestation9505]

His work 😂😂😂he's not Al Pacino 😂😂he made his own movies because nobody would cast him. Leo is very good but he's just a voice actor 😂he didn't write it or direct anything in Leo 😂his name is just attached to the project to give it legitimacy

[@jessicak1693]

@@moneymanifestation9505 and that's fine. I grew up with Adam Sandler movies and enjoy them not sure why that's an issue for you?

[@michaelrafales2782]

Two talented, hilarious guys who are very deserving of their success

[@hyperspeed_心猿]

My favorite thing about Sandler is how humble he is. As soon as he's complimented on a movie, his response is to list everyone else in whatever movie and how great they were. Just a genuinely nice guy. I guess I'm a fan of the man himself, before even getting into the movies!

[@israelleonchacon9291]

It's sad that we tend to see people like him not that often, that it outstands right away. I hope more of us were like Sandler

[@LincolnWorld]

Gourley writing in his journal 5 min after this episode was over, "Coco said he loves me!!!!" I think we all envy Conan, because he gets to hang out with Sona!

[@ThunderPants13]

Adam is equal parts talent and humility., which is rare to see in anyone, but especially in a movie star.

[@Tizzo1982]

I love when Conan has his Friends on. When it’s a celeb guest that is a showbiz friend, Conan tries to put on a show, but when it’s a Friend Friend, you see him just get to a different side of him where he really just wants to converse and enjoy that friends company while he or she is there. Idk if that makes sense. Like there’s “Shownan” and then there’s “Conan”

[@gilpinsteven]

I watched Hustle the other night. Sandler is absolutely brilliant in it! He keeps nailing his performances in a variety of genres and I love it.

[@nithinr818]

can y'all please please please release the full podcast videos? I live for facial reactions and the podcast isn't enough 🥲 keep releasing clips for hype but release the full videos after!!

[@imtiazmajeed8217]

This was a hilariously tense interview, so much shade being thrown around haha... maybe they do really love each other

[@Studeb]

He didn't mention that Johan Renck directed Chernobyl and some of the best episodes of Breaking Bad too. Oh, that he was the artist Stakka Bo in the 90s.

[@CHRISMACDONALD-pg2nw]

Airheads 2 would be awesome

[@sheefree]

Loved Sandler in the Spaceman!

[@Razali.]

Rebecca Romijn Stamos (a female version of Conan) need to be on the next podcast.

[@WillBoothe3]

Adam Sandler and I had the same high school teacher shout out Mr. Beeman. Granted it was about 40 years apart.

[@jimjohns9051]

Adam deserves a long life, I hope these guys are riffing when in their 90s 😂

[@mediocreman2]

Sandler is interesting because only a small percentage of his movies are good, but the ones that are good are definitely memorable. But he still keeps making them, and we all hope that one of them will be memorable again.

[@mishking9547]

I loved that movie "THe CObbler"

I agree, it is lucky.

[@evolve101]

spaceman... seems interesting! I mean.. If i would guess i would be like 15% sure these two are some kinds of spacemen. Look at that hair and the other dude might be a bit to cool. ;) 15.. hmm, make it 10%. Kidding. Probably 15% chance. Anyways... Im definitely gonna watch that movie! So its no comedy and a bit darker of what i understood.. maybe a bit humor also. anyways.. thanks for sharing. peace, keep it up! Also.. same with music and everything.. do what makes you happy.

[@Preacher2628]

Thanks Adam and Conan, for a fun funny conversation. Conan you can pitch for a part in Grown ups III as well buddy. You know you want to

[@AlreadyShort]

im glad he admits he got lucky

[@amyjackson8725]

I love Adam and he seems like a great person, but it was disturbing hearing him talk about his dad treating his mom like she was a small child. No man should tell his wife what she can and cannot see, hear, or do!

[@willpfister]

The only time Sandler got to talk was when he interrupted Conan.

you may not like all the guys movies. but the dude seems solid. hes just a "guy". A really famous guy.

[@ConanThreepwood]

[@LegionarioCruel]

I will never understand what's funny or humorous about Adam Sandler, I find his voices, his characters and his movies cringey and essentially horrendous. I think though that he is a decent dramatic actor.

If someone had told me 20 years ago that Stakka Bo, AKA Johan Renck, who had a few hits during the 90s as a Eurodance singer, would be namedropped on Conan with Adam Sandler talking about how good he is, i would have said you needed to cut back on the drugs. Here we go again!

[@ogmisfit]

Notably, Rench also directed Chernobyl miniseries.
