The way that cat IMMEDIATELY sat down right next to Andy and chilled 🥰

Gently 😂

Good kitty lol nice kitty

[@christophersteele5709]

it happens in a lot of these animal segments

[@zackzollweg787]

I bet the smooth desk freaked him out. Couch is way better

[@jimb.7523]

*The caracal might not have been interested in Conan, but the monitor lizard was definitely happy to see him!* 😉

[@LunaMane]

Yeah, but I don't really blame Conan. I would've been jealous also.😆

[@chadross]

The caracal was just vibing with Andy

[@Dev-fo7oi]

Conan is very comfortable around animals. Kimmel and Fallon are significantly uneasy, but continue to bring them on the show. With all of conans animal segments, he's pretty chill.

[@NandiCollector]

*Conan speak their language. ;) Kimmel & Fallon are just 2 overpaid clowns.*

[@mrxxbrian]

Obviously Kimmel and Fallon act like they're scared but what conan does better is that he can be authentic and still make it humorous

[@LittleFatFeet68]

I always loved watching Conan with animals because he was so comfortable with them. I can not stand the “Jimmys” I think they are both d*cks. The only time I ever watch them is from clips on YT when there are animals. It sucks that all we have now of Conan’s show is YT clips. I’m really going to miss him💙

[@idalarsen2540]

@@LittleFatFeet68 I know 😭😭 Hopefully, especially considering how interactive they've generally been with us, their YT-fans, I'd be surprised if they didn't post any clips at all from the new show on HBO. There's also precedent for it, since "Last Week Tonight with John Oliver" who's also on HBO post the main segment from his show on YT, sometimes smaller clips as well.. so I think that it's very likely for them to do something similar with Conan. I mean, they're very aware of how many especially international fans they have that rely on YT for content. I know I haven't lost hope! If not the whole show, I'm sure they'll still have a strong YT-presence. Don't lose hope!!

[@idalarsen2540]

@@NandiCollector For real!! They act so childishly (and not in the good way) whenever they have animals on. It's not just annoying, stupid and unnessecary, but probably NOT exactly fun (to put it mildly) for the actual WILD ANIMALS that already are stressed out and uncomfortable due to them being in suuuuuuch an unnatural enviroment, with all the people, the flashy, extremely brighr lights, just so much going on in general that just naturally follows ANY talkshow/TV-show setting at all. That's impossible to avoid, whether you're on Conan, either of the Jimmy's, on Anderson Cooper 360-news show or Family Feud. It doesn't matter, all those things which are extremely unnatural for these LOVELY animals regardless of what kind of show and host(s). Those kinds of settings can be really stress-, and even panic inducing for some PEOPLE, so just imagine the heightened stress the animals (with their muuuuch better and hella lot stronger senses than us humans) have while on these shows. So I really appreciate and commend Conan and Andy (and their auidence as well I've noticed, their auidence seems to show much more respect by not going crazy - sure, they laugh and all but they're not wilding out and stay calm, unlike the Jimmy's auidence who go a lot more crazy over EVERYTHING both the Jimmy's and the animals does) for staying calm and clearly respecting the animals. They surely joke around and make a show with them, but they're pro enough to stay calm and collected, and treat them with immense respect, while still actually producing a hilarious comedy show. They understand that they don't have to be complete lunatics in order to make a great show, very much unlike the Jimmy's who act so terribly and disrespectfully with the animals.. well, not that they don't do that without (wild) animals being there, they act like fools all the time, but still. They take it up far too many notches when they have these animals on, when they should really take it down aaaaall the notches instead, but well.. ughh. They're just so careless over the animals who's already naturally uncomfortable simply due to them being in such a vastly different enviroment than they're used to. It's really disrespectful, and I find it really uncomfortable to watch them (at all, but anyway) just refuse to take the animals interests into account at all. They make such an unecessary spectacle, stressing the already stressed out animals, and it just feels so wrong to watch. It just feels too cruel, tbh. Conan and Andy at least stay calm, and obiviously cares about them. You can clearly tell that the animals are much more relaxed and comfortable with Conan and Andy - especially Andy for some reaon lol, just like when the cat-like animal in this clip just carefully jumped up on the couch to get cuddled/petted by Andy, which was soooo wholesome and hella adorable. They always love Andy! It's too cute 🥰😻😻😻😻😍❤ ((Sure, I know that they sedate the animals a bit, at least some of them for everyone's safety and to be extra careful; they're still wild animals after all, and I'm sure it makes it better for the animals as well to say it simply, be a bit stoned lolz.. drugging them a lot surely isn't good but hey, who don't like being at least a little stoned, am I right? 🤓😅😂😂😂)) . So yeah, once again, props to Andy and Conan for respecting these LOVELY animals, and for not treating them like some freaks, with no regard for their wellbeing (unlike how some other **cough cough** 'people' do (I'm tired of saying their names ugh)), it's great to see. Yet another reason to love them!! How you treat animals, whether they're wild or domesticated says a whole lot about you as a person. Conan and Andy will ALWAYS be the best, they've proved themselves so many times. They've truly earned their legend-status and respect.. not just as comedians and hosts, but as authentically decent people, and deserve nothing but the best. Love them!! 👏🤘🤘🤘💚🖤

I like how in the very beginning dave said this is one of those dangerous animals, and conan instantly embrace it by taking it's leash. This is why he's better than all 5 of those Jimmy's. It's fun watching a host actually engage the animals and the guest, and not just be theatrically scared cringed.

[@Axtros1024]

I think Kimmel is genuinely terrified of the animals tbh I don't think he's adding any theatrics to his reactions
