Zero Budget Conan is unmatched. When I was a kid I would always laugh when he said "We have no money." Then I look back at all the memorable bits I recalled and realized "Either he wasn't lying or The Man With Bulletproof Legs was a wonderful way to steal NBC money."

[@rizzo-films]

I loved his self deprecating humor when I was a kid, too. He sometimes balances it with a ridiculously big ego which makes it even funnier.

[@maxacorn]

better than seagal.

[@henrywallacesghost5883]

​@@maxacornSeagal was and never will be in Arnold's league as a action star.

[@Shak2k11]

it is compared to the actual zero budget of Craig Ferguson

[@rhetiq9989]

This ended up better than I thought. Arnold's such a good sport lol

[@jonmolina948]

I remember watching the last part as a kid.

[@westerling8436]

He's smarter than you, hard to accept for you I guess

[@JosephHowes2003]

It's funny that the virgin joke at the end with Conan insisting "I am not a virgin" was immediately followed with him announcing that the next guest is Lisa Kudrow, who he dated.

[@thathandleistakentrythisone]

This is gold, Arnold proving again you can't troll the master troll!

"I'm a virgin, I'm a girlie man" 😂

I was expecting some joke about whos the real Conan

That's a man that can take it like he can deal it, and he's simply really funny. Gotta respect that.

[@DrClay999]

I like how worried Conan looked when Arnold said "I came prepared"

[@jonathangarlinghouse]

This is my core Conan era, I have been a Conan-head 2/3 of my life now. He is the GOAT imo. Shout out to Sona and Matt too. I love the podcast team very much. Looking forward to the new travel show

[@demetriuscooksey7147]

I miss those days. We still need a Conan O'Brian vs Conan the Barbarian skit, damn it!

[@tun-tunninc.6492]

What's so funny is the Arnold on the tele agrees with Arnold's description of Conan.

[@KhjjnJustDance]

Im happy this got uploaded!!!!! This is one of the funniest moments ever!! Arnold finally got revenge on conan

[@GCKelloch]

Taking a cue from Conan's podcast, I'm really glad Arnold explained that tests showed both men and women enjoyed his new film. I wasn't sure how to feel about it when I first saw it. Have to watch it again with this new information.

[@danfors1333]

6:21 Wow, I've never heard Arnold be able to use another voice like that before. Usually he's dubbed over by someone else, like in the Hercules movie or deleted scenes of Terminator 3. Best acting performance ever and he did it in a talkshow rather than a movie.

[@FanboyFilms]

He does it for a moment in Last Action Hero when he is pretending the dead man Leo DeFart is still alive.

[@CliffuckingBooth]

Now I want him to voice some cartoon character with this voice :D Or something what Sly did in Suicide Squad 2 :)

[@TallSilentGuy]

He puts on an Australian accent in one of his podcasts when referencing Crocodile Dundee.

[@callmeshaggy5166]

Kinda sounds like Gollum

[@SpaceSkeletonDragon]

It's an open secret that his real accent isn't anywhere near as thick as he puts it on. But then, why would it be? Dude's lived in America since 1968. Apparently his real accent is as Californian as it gets.

[@bretarmstrong6303]

Arnie turned it around on Conan, wow! God bless Arnold, he is such a a good man and an actor, and truly looks out for his people.

[@ziggy7676]

Great men don't cheat on their wives, cover up the child, and lie about it for decades.

[@bretarmstrong6303]

@@ziggy7676 I honestly don't care if he cheated on his wife, his line of work is incredible. Weightlifter, to actor to not knowing our language, to become governor and returning to film. He's done more than you or I combined. If that's not a great man, I don't know what is. Worked his ass off, I don't know what his marital situation is, and neither do you.

[@bretarmstrong6303]

@@ziggy7676 To be fair, I also don't know why he cheated on his wife to be honest, he could be a bastard, she could be terrible or something. I'm just simply saying look at his line of work, and he always seems like a cool dude.

Arnold know how to turn back on Conan.He such a legend.

[@sonnyblack0870]

I mean these shows were all pre-written. It’s not like he thought that up himself.

[@AngryRantsAndStuff]

I saw this when it aired. They look so young. Can't believe how fast that time went.

[@kwyjibo_]

After the last great Arnold clip I tried to find this exact segment, but I couldn't find it. Now here it is 🤩 Thank you

[@jimbo8743]

That’s hilarious, I never knew Arnold met Arnold 👍

[@darnellpistachio2991]

They first met in total recall.

[@gamesps9562]

How? Didn't see any of his movies?

[@WildlifeWarrior-cr1kk]

Arnold met arnold in last action hero

[@markowalski1]

End of Days is such an underrated movie. Especially for a Schwarzenegger film

[@SavingPrivateBob]

Amazing work in upscaling such an old segment. Excellent work.

[@yogalates23]

I love conan’s disappointed look at 2:29 hahahaha. Omg i love arnold how he says “girly man yaah”

[@dcool2u2]

Also a Hans and Franz phrase! 😂

[@DAMusic-qu2ec]

The set up for that mother in law joke was perfect 😂😂

[@joseortiz8094]

Conan my favorite host of all time. I did like Johnny Carson too though , Jay Leno was okay too , but Conan made me laugh more between the 3 of them.

[@ratso8860]

"I did the right thing" hasn't aged too well.

[@auntiewewe972]

The problem was he did too many things.

[@beepbeep164]

He did a “nasty” thing.

[@megaphish]

Conan wasn't kidding when he said, "That's how I got this job."

[@mattsbaseballcardbreaks5952]

Definitely not a joke. Gotta sell that soul for fame and do sexual favors for the devil in the flesh.

[@christoffesedao3579]

Sad but true.

[@farmvilla1335]

Someone finally got Conan back. Lol 😆 🤣 😂

[@Rusty.Shackhouse]

No one is a step ahead of Arnie. He’s proven it hundreds of times before 🤷‍♂️

[@FrldyZX87]

All this time watching fake Arnold on Conan and I never knew he had a bit with real Arnold! That was great!

[@DanielThureskog]

Same. I remember the time, when fake Arnold accidentally swallowed the false gap.

[@rotepixel]

I miss Conan on the TV

[@selfiekroos1777]

Especially the brunette dirty blond conan

[@snozzlehead92]

I miss him writing for the Simpsons even more.

[@markLCE01]

I love when they make fun of the celebrity upfront and make the awkward scene that the celeb would look cool with him or her being mock on 😂😂😂

[@darrinbrunner6429]

Conan once said he's most comfortable when he is the butt of the jokes. He doesn't like his guests to feel uncomfortable. So, the last part, was Conan letting Arnold make fun of him. That was more for Conan, than Arnold, because, of course, Arnold has no problem laughing at himself.

[@gregmcamp]

I loved watching this and always thought he should've been on more

[@dongbung9850]

Arnie was smoking the best pot in Hollywood those days 💪👌

[@DiffuseMoose]

I would LOVE to see David Andrew Brent or Joe Gaudet voice dub the part where TV Arnie comes in during the interview. Those two have the absolute best Arnold impersonations I've ever heard. Look them up!

[@Enkarashaddam]

I loved the Arnold/Conan dynamic perfect foils for each other lol

[@camsully7325]

I love how he just flat out doesn't deny it up front.

[@youtubedj9298]

Yeah, I guess he was so scared and intimidated by being in front of two Arnold's at once he broke down and had to admit he was a virgin who never had sex before.

[@gerardjayetileke4373]

Arnold: "In Los Angeles right now there are 50000 devil worshippers!" Audience: "YEAAAAHHH WOOOOHOOOOO"

I saw End of Days at the late night screening on December 31, 1999 in the cinema. Alone. It was kind of a special experience because so many people were afraid of disasters caused by the Millennium Bug.

[@ericsloss3963]

Loved the Conan era before he got the Tonight Show. That was great. I thought his best period was when he didn't have Andy. That was when he would play off Max and Joel the announcer. Those were the days.
