He's so amazing. Recently watched Dumb and Dumber again and died at his delivery of, "We got no jobs, we got no food... OUR PETS HEADS ARE FALLING OFF!!!"

Jim Carrey will always be a comedic legend. He is just a naturally funny person and extremely animated while being hilariously random. He is one of the greats that can bring a smile to anyone's face. Long live Jim Carrey

[@TorrentFiend10]

Expert tracking on "BE THEREEEEE!!!!!!" The way he stays in frame while aggressively attacking the camera still allowing room in the frame for people to see Conan the whole time as well. Only taking up part of the picture. Total professional....... Total professional goofball I mean. Well done Jim. One of the most hilariously energetic segments I've ever seen on the show. So glad I found this blast from the past. Instant new favorite.

Jim Carrey was always gold in any talk show. While Jim always went 100% on everyone's show, I feel like he enjoyed Conan's the most.

[@chadwickerman]

They have similar tastes in physical comedy plus they are friends in real life not just on talk show appearances so he probably felt more comfortable and able to be himself.

[@monchiemartinez5058]

Agree

[@deusexmachina2222]

The best was the reveal that he was the masturbating bear

[@BeardedKayakFishing]

He did because him and Conan are good at bouncing off and improving together.

[@fischkopf]

Jim Carrey was the perfect comic for the 90s to give him a break - for the young kids, check his evolution from Carson to Living Color.

Conan's reaction when Jim gestured worshipping him says alot about him. Hope he starts his live shows soon.

He literally scared to fall as he thought Jim was going to move the desk(you can see that he starts screaming a second before Jim bows his head), I'm fascinated by the fact that so many people sees something and interprets it different in their head even though we see it on the exact same angle

This might be my FAVORITE Late Night episode. It ends with an incredible performance of the Shaft theme, arranged and conducted by Isaac Hayes and performed by the Max Weinberg 7. EPIC!

[@JohnnyGuitaristOfficial]

Man, Conan should come back....its not the same w/out this dude on air, late at night...when everyone is asleep lol 😫🧻😭 *Conan is Legend!*

Jim and Conan are different versions of the same person and it's great.

I didn't understand Jim Carrey's logic in regards to the string dance, he really thinks differently from the rest of us. :D

[@ThrillaLive]

I thought he was gonna ask how Conan can reach over with his left hand to cut the string on his right hand if his left hand is still attached with a string as well. It should pull his left hip around as he reaches across with the scissors.

6:08 ..they get through to Kramer😂

All the great stuff he has done, my favorite is still Ace Ventura. Started to follow him a little when he left In Living Color. Always a fan. The whole reason to click is Conan of course.
