Conan had chest hair. I imagined him to be smooth like plastic doll .

[@mcaesario]

He's super smooth these days. This is just an old video Don't ask me how I know about it ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

[@Shubham10b]

@3 man 1 pencil tried to skate and lost bearing

[@Fucisko]

That's how I imagine Jimmy Carr.

18 years later and Conan hasn't changed a bit. XD

[@ellescer]

Can’t believe they didn’t get “the clap skate” joke lmao

[@ElisandroDeLeon]

I still dont get it

[@ellescer]

Another word for gonorrhea “the clap” He was telling Conan how he as a comedian can take the name and make a joke out of it, but it completely went over his head

Conan really has not aged. If it wasn't for the video quality, I'd assume this footage was from a few days ago.

[@Kickex]

That's a stretch

[@akgurram]

What didn't age is his comedy

[@aldranzam3456]

His skin has gotten thinner (literally). But aging isn't a bad thing.

[@andreicrutq4564]

he clearly has aged but at his current age, he does look really good.

Conan should stop interviewing "Hollywood" people and do his sketches, they are a million times funnier and more interesting and you watch them over and over, but the interviews of the Hollywood people are only watched "once". Conan, thank you for curing the quarantine depression.

[@mineyoo1999]

That’s what he does most of the time, and I’m so happy for that! The only interviews I watch for a couple of times are the Jackie Chan and Paul McCartney ones (and the footages are old af) 😂

Ever wonder why when celebs go on a talk show they are always promoting their current project? It's almost like that's the entire purpose of late night talk shows!

[@PathofVox]

I'm glad Team Coco uploaded some of these older skits, it really shows how Conan has had a great sense of humor for quite a long time, and let's us see how much Conan has evolved through the years as well!! Just got into watching Conan a week ago or so, and hooked. Love his skits!

True story. This episode had Josh Hartnett. In 2002 I loved Josh Hartnett and I taped this episode. (Taped. On VHS.) I was 13 and I watched it over and over again after school like every day.

[@NxDoyle]

2002 was an excellent year for otherwise non-competitive speed skaters. The Olympics proved that sometimes, despite your natural talent and the amount of work you put in to achieve your golden dream, sometimes all you need to do is stay on your feet.

[@spencer2207]

I live in Salt Lake and remember the Olympics well -- one of the funnest times to be a Utahn. I wish I had seen this when it aired all those years ago.

[@Ossion00]

Thank you Conan for years of entertainment and laughs! Been watching since i was a teenager, 30 now and still watching from Finland.

Now they have "mass start speed skating" where 26 people bunch up like a marathon and go at the same time.. Could you imagine tripping with those skates on in that? You'd be sliced to pieces and there's no way they could move out of the way to avoid it

[@jeroenschoondergang5923]

Marathon speedskating (100 and 150 laps in a peloton) has been around since the 1960's in The Netherlands. Not a lot of serious accidents happen.

After Jordan's comment, I developed a theory and checked the dates: Conan was just a newly-married guy (a little over a month) in this video. Which might explain the weight gain. Which also leads to Jordan describing him as 'gross' during this period.
