Conan O'Brien And Stephen Colbert Both Have Family Ties To College Of The Holy Cross

[@seankendle8471]

Every time I remember Stephen lost his father and brothers in a plane crash, I just want to hug him.

September 11, 1974. So, that day is doubly tragic for him.

[@john_avernia]

For context, Stephen lost his father in a plane crash when he was 10. That's why meeting that man was meaningful to him.

[@StewChicken42]

Dear pure, sweet Coco is way too volatile to be burnt for fuel. He must be protected at ALL COSTS!

[@JmSantos78]

These two make a great duo. For anyone interested who still doesn't know about it, check out Conan's Podcast. Stephen was on one episode and it's a great insight into both men's lives.

[@nairocamilo]

through the episodes I remember most fondly, Stephen's is one of the favourites. They just talk, which is already the case for Conan's podcast, but it is just so much more profound in that episode

[@JmSantos78]

I've never seen Stephen looking so relaxed - this applies to all three segments with Conan. IMO, this has made for agreat talk show. I wish he was this relaxed with all of his guests (Note: I am NOT saying he does a bad job normally)

[@RockU2Death5150]

I agree with you. When it comes down to host + camera - audience, we get a glimpse at what appears to be more of the "real" Stephen, maybe more of the things he has kept hidden from the general public; nothing bad, just private things. 💜

[@RockU2Death5150]

Oh Stephen! The minute you got to the part about the yearbook, I burst into tears and had my breath completely taken away. Just silent sobs. My God. That is incredible. You & Conan have such intuitive comic timing. Your back-and-forth play has me laughing until I nearly black out and there are sirens in my ears. Thank you so very much for everything you do. The world feels so dark and small right now. Somehow, you've found a way to continue and it warms my heart to ride this rollercoaster with you. Take care of yourself, stay safe. 💜

[@LassieGal]

What a sweet take. Thank you for sharing this nice story.

Ro G You do good with words. You make words make funny sentences. You are funny person. Wait, I meant to say I relish in the fact that you were capable of doing a great job utilizing homogeneous words amalgamated with references discussed within the interview, along with an upcoming holiday, structured in a simple fashion to tell a very comical jest. Bravo my dear friend, bravo!

Stephen is only five years older than me, but his dad was born 21 years before mine. I guess that happens when you are the youngest of 11 children. Looks like his dad was 44 when Stephen was born. (Yeah, I'm sure you all care about this.)

[@azoneiybelial]

Stephen is funnier when he's high. He's more genuine and authentic.

[@suitelifebeck]

Why do you think he’s high

I suppose this means Stephen and Conan are going to have to come to Worcester. We can ride through Kelley Square, and if they survive that, then we’ll all go to Rotman’s!

Funny how much color they added to Stephen on this. On Conan's version it's way more natural.

Today, I learned there was a Daily Show before Jon Stewart was running it.

[@debbiedoodiedandi]

Yeah - it was funny too, but geared more towards pop culture news, although political stuff would get covered sometimes. One of the correspondents, Beth Littleford used to do these Barbara Walter's type interviews with celebs, which included very soft/hazy lighting. Anyway, Jon Stewart took over for Craig Kilborn, who left the show to host The Late Late Show on CBS.

[@OneTraveller]

My husband lost his job, too. He's applying for unemployment. They've loosened the requirements a lot, as I understand. Try that, if you haven't already - as well as food stamps, medicaid and anything you can apply for. There are also some Cov-19 relief funds out there. Look for the local Covid-19 mutual aid or helper group in your area. They may be able to steer you in the right direction, as well as hook you up with resources for food and other things. And don't be too proud to check out your local food bank. You can always donate to them when things improve. Good luck, my dear. I'll pray that you get help

When I was young things had only recently changed. I was raised to stand up for myself. In today's world that simply cannot be done. As soon as you have to protect yourself from bodily harm you are punished for hurting your attacker. I recall playing with my "friends", across the dirt road of the trailer I lived in. They would shove, spit and use vulgar language to offend me. Then they would lie and I would be punished for tattling. One day we were in front of their trailer, when suddenly the youngest girl came running and tripped down the steps of the patio. She had a stick in her mouth, pointed outward, pretending to be a dog. What dog would run with a stick like that, I do not know. Immediately her brothers started laughing. I was already passing them and her, to find her father inside. She was taken by ambulance and I was informed she was saved with only 8 minutes to spare before critical blood loss would have occurred. She is now married with a child. I often ponder the likelyhood of her brothers and their friends, from across the the tracks, having laughed as their sister died, had I not been there. I'm unsure, but eight minutes is a long time. I like to hope they would have only taken one minute at most. Years later when I was nine her brother thought it would amuse him and others to tackle and perhaps wrestle me. He came running from behind me at the park, while I was about to walk home.I was aware of him before he got 10 feet from me. I did not turn to look. When he impacted I shifted my weight and allowed him to crumple around me. Then I placed him on his back and closed off his air way for 8-12 second periods until he stopped. Then I asked if he was done.He said yes, then repeated the scenario twice, each time my force increasing slightly. At this point I was growing impatient with him and about to break somthing, when his father, who had been watching the entire time, came from his truck across the street. He grabbed his son and his older 12 year old brother by the ear and dragged them away. My great aunt who was worried when I did not return on time had just arrived. When she came to me so did the father. He and my aunt knew and respected each other as members of a small community. He asked her if next time I am bullied by his son she could let him know so that he could have me box his son, with gloves on the lawn, to straighten him out. I never had a problem from his son again.
