But then you never know when Dennis is being serious or not...

[@SBb374]

​@@jasondelvaux3036 He makes the Joker look like Caligula, cha cha.

[@LeifJaredson]

I never thought Dennis Miller was very funny, mostly annoying. I'm not sure how he got where he was.

[@dynjarren8355]

It is fascinating to hear all the behind the scenes stories from SNL! Incredible!

[@ANARABWHOWANTSPEACE]

I wish they had a video format

[@Designbuild828]

Me too, but I still listen to the whole episode.

[@Ron4roc]

We need video!😊😊

[@HlifeRomania91]

Yes hopefully they will soon. Podcasts with no video are declining and podcasts with video are rising. Which podcast with video is really a TV show.

[@jonathandufern7421]

Conan is so great. One of the best writers and story tellers. One of the fastest minds too. My favorite is Conan with Norm McDonald. 😂 r.I.p.

[@LC-ht7sg]

You have great taste.

[@Kate98755]

and mostly because conan let Norm rif….Norm was a legend

[@vacantseaofplanets]

Did they talk about Norm here?

[@jasonw6688]

This podcast is great. Hearing all these stories with the cast, crew, hosts, and writers is making me love that era of SNL even more. Those are my favourite years of the show and from like 91 to 93, I watched it every single week. When I realized years later Conan was a writer on SNL it blew my mind, and hearing his stories from back then are amazing!

[@kerrypotenza1679]

Loved the stories that these three old friends shared. Wish it was longer.

[@Mczzin]

Five years ago, while searching for a good laugh I searched for Ellen youtube videos and found David Spade. I left Ellen and binge watched David's interviews. Hilarious! Also because of him I started watching The Bachelor. And because of David, youtube then suggested me Conan's videos! OMG! The laughs I had. David and Conan are my favorites ❤

[@Kmichaelcook87]

What a journey 😂

[@RythymBeast]

Hahaha ahhhhh man the Lovitz impressions always get me rollin!

[@sp6726]

Three of the most entertaining comics on the planet. Very down to earth and humble, too. Dana's comedy club acts are brilliant and will have you in tears😂

[@Crumponalog]

The random goofy Sandler impressions sprinkled throughout totally crack me up

[@sarahkries9783]

I absolutely love listening to the SNL stories accompanied with impressions of past costars. Dennis Miller impression gets me every time. Thank you, I needed the laughs today!!

[@rickricky6421]

Please start filming the episodes

[@ValerieCH1]

They do.

[@flaviantropy]

Early Conan with the recurring sketches like S&M Lincoln, the Interrupter and all the Abe Vigoda bits are on a tier of zany that very have come close to let alone matched on late night.

[@Carfeu]

Dont forget the old man

[@LikeWhatever]

No one in late night since has even tried to do what Conan did. It's only got more homogenized and unfunny. It's a shame that someone like Stephen Colbert, who was really funny and unique when he could do what he wanted, has become just another bland talking head.

"And if you have a can with a string and it's to a neighbor." Hilarious

[@rydia241]

This is my favourite Conan interview of literally all time.

[@MehrdadParthian]

i'm just glad i was a fan of conan since 2015 and got to see him go all over the world putting a smile on people's faces from any race or creed, by making himself the butt of every joke instead of what most people do, which is to turn others into content. that actually takes alot out of you and needs alot of effort. thats why conan is the true comedy legend of our era. he is borderless !

[@MrOvlov02]

Since 2015 lmfao

[@day245]

I met Conan and shook his hand My favorite person so it was special He was sleeping, so I snuck right out but still

[@demitasse22]

For the lore

[@caniican]

That's pretty funny. I was lucky enough to meet Conan and shake his hand backstage NBC. He was taking a piss but I got to shake his free hand LOL

[@showtime951]

re-write

[@Darin.Pearson]

Well written

[@showtime951]

Conan was taking a nap in the Green Room when I met him so I got to use his hand to shake.

[@tinafaydrugg]

When my daughters were little, I'd tell them they would have to be in bed before my boyfriend, Conan, came on t.v. They would squeal with disgust, "MOM!!!" Sorry kids 😂 I love Conan ❤️

[@carrielondon5535]

I totally agree! I looove Conan🥰 I met him years ago and it's in a frame on a table in our house. Years ago my son's friend, who was maybe 10 at the time, asked who that guy in the picture with me was. I told him that's my boyfriend Conan. He went home and sadly told his mom that he thinks my hubby and I are getting divorced cuz Carrie has a boyfriend 🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@middlefinger456]

52:05 the Jimmy Stewart story is amazing 😂

[@Wufnu]

This is great, and Conan's the best. Hope y'all are both on his podcast together, soon.

[@tyleru7094]

Dana keeps this show grounded. Good chemistry! Keep the laughs going!!!

[@michellealdrich]

The discussion re: Sandler and revisionist history, proves the adage; “Failure is an orphan and success has many fathers.” Another great episode 😊

[@SharkMinnow]

The best, most #1 Conan skit ever is the late night cliffhanger from the 90s with the fake horse, the gorilla, the knife, and some other plastic animal...fall out of your chair funny...and it's not on youtube! - from Beijing, China

[@fortin75]

Fantastic episode. Conan needs to be back on the air.

[@jkap34]

My favorite is just picturing Adam Sandler outside conan's house in a bathrobe just shouting "Coney!"

[@jkap34]

Or Conan recalling the first time he met Adam Sandler, Sandler was standing in Conan's doorway with his pants around his ankles and a pencil in his ass.

[@AllenFreemanMediaGuru]

I was in the audience at Conan’s last regular show and he said goodbye to his band and played with them. This was to be his last show with an audience as well. (He did eventually go back to his usual format.)

[@demitasse22]

Omg. That is amazing. I started watching Late Night when they still had the cartoon intro and the old Hollywood pictures on the walls. Fundamentally altered me forever!! We must protect consey at all costs

[@demitasse22]

He played?! In a suit??

[@showtime951]

I remember seeing you stage-left.

[@Parrotchuter]

The modern Mark Twain. He should have his own award.

Maybe Mark Twain was an old timey Conan

[@kylearmstrong21]

There's nothing left where Conan used to be, nobody like him old school silly. The GOAT

[@PatriciaAMack]

Love this podcast. It is so inside baseball except for comedy. Conan's podcast is fabulous too. It has improved the quality of my life.

[@Runsfrombears]

Please add video to this!! So great

[@mattmays9063]

What an absolute blessing to get a peek behind the curtains all these years later. One of the absolute best feelings in the world is being able to listen to content like this and relate to so many comments, and what truly feeds that for me is getting the affirmation of why I clung to certain people growing up and then discovering in your 40s that all those people are friends. Imagine being captain or co-captain of a comedy cruise ship. This isn't some niche' comedy crowd; these people still have their hands on the steering wheel. Name another late-night host that has as many connections to new writers and comedians that are big today. Sorry, I'm not a writer, but I hope the overall message comes across clearly. Thank you, Carvey, Spade, O'Brien, Richter, Nealon, Ross, Micheals, Letterman, Franken, Downey, Farley, Sandler, Rock, Cole, Sona, Schlansky, Gorley, Eduardo....nearly everyone here knows the names. Thanks for being yourselves and allowing us to spectate for the last 40+ years.

[@mattmays9063]

Conan vehemently tries to back his way out of his intelligence while yelling at them for not knowing the name of a random hat.

[@riobrasilsambashowssambist1453]

I want to add (imo) the best impersonators to the list: Jay Pharaoh and Jimmy Fallon. And Dana is on your list. And Jim Breuer was hilarious

[@briansmith2163]

Great interview. Thank you.

[@mattmays9063]

Thank you, Carvey, for correcting Spade with the Johnny Carson reference. Spade, my man, you're not stupid! You're leagues ahead of me intellectually; it remains what the rest of us see in you and your influence in my generation and comedy. If Al Franken, Conan, and Smigel respect you, you should undoubtedly respect yourself! We love you, dood!

[@VazzVegas]

Conan is such a genuine guy. I met him before while he was doing his comedy tour. His manager and assistant rode in the limo while he rode in the bus with the rest of the crew.

[@annestaples2997]

Thank you for the context of the emotional experience of creating SNL. I relate to your suffering

[@lorij4180]

Conan is the best, he is absurd. Love that so much. I can relate! Haha

[@joshthompiano]

What happened to technology that we went from people gathering around the radio for a broadcast 100 years ago, to moving pictures, live broadcast television, streaming internet and virtual reality to people gathering around listening to an imageless podcast like a radio broadcast again?

[@lowbo47omsascotave]

*Eastside Low Bottoms sh*t !* _Tappin' in from South Central LA_ Salute to the platform ✊🏾 As a former watcher of the NBC show since the 90's, it's a trip to think of the 6° of separation with Conan and his SNL guests/alumni. Always stayed up late to watch his show.

[@nohabloemojislosiento4930]

One thing of Conan's that is cool is those Scraps from the TBS show. You get to see Conan and Andy watch bits from writers, judge them, then on the spot come up with funnier jokes than the writer's that are making fun of said skit. Conan is super quick and an incredible comedy writer. Best writer on his own shows.

[@bingbongtoysKY]

never crazy about SNL- but Late Night 🌙 with Conan O'brien!!!! I loved that show- it was spiritual nourishment for me- may the Gods bless you!!!!!!!!❤

[@TheUnknownSophy]

I'm terrible at "favorites," always was, but Dana, you happen to be my favorite comedian. Your spot on impersonations, original characters, slapstick sensibilities, intelligence, just all do it for me. I like Conan and David but rarely find either humorous, possibly due to my own issues. I'm too old maybe to totally appreciate them.

[@bobbowie9350]

Or an old Canadian model. Whichever.

[@Resurgam1981]

Ok, Sona

[@MrBuketman]

I’ll politely disagree w/Neil Young. I was a kid late 80’s, 90’s, and early 2000’s. But there was John Belushi making fun of Joe Cocker to his face you dumb sh*ts! And then there was Nirvana just jammin’.

[@melizab2424]

Team Coco!! 😎💙

[@Brogrl]

The influence of Conan as a person, the writers and actors of the show, Triumph and the many comedians on SNL who later shifted to movies and comedy albums offered an absurd/intellectual perspective to which we could view society. Entire parts of my personality and comedic repertoire is attributed to these people, as a millennial raised on the TV before TiVo and streaming. I feel an erasure of this generation (loosely Gen X) is a great fall to our current society. Everything is self aware and flawless, too dumb and emotionally stunted to handle absurdity mixed with the intellectual. I think that’s why JF has the time slot he does, he was weird in his late time spot but now I guess just laughs? That’s what the internet tells me anyway. Also Jon Lovitz is a total babe and sometimes their Lorne sounds like Cher who would be a hot Dr. Evil. 🤷🏻‍♀️ ETA: Robert Smigel, the man literally behind Triumph. I’m so easily led dude I just attribute Triumph to His own self as a puppet which is a compliment to the creator. Fave joke to Bon Jovi as a vampire “finally a role that requires you to suck”. Also never forget when Eminem had his crew protect him from a dog puppet.

[@curbozerboomer1773]

Lovitz is a fox?...not likely!

[@jasonharsany2169]

Fantastic. Really appreciate the insight to the business of comedy. Wow! pressure at SNL sounds fantastic. I too, like Harvard, made a pact never to "bad mouth" the new stuff or be a grumpy old man " back in my day we walked through 2 feet of snow delivering papers at 0500" na gan da.

[@HockeyNYR9394]

Best late night guy this side of the milky way!

[@patrickthomas8890]

1:09:32 These must not realize that SNL took an absolutely VICIOUS shot at Carson in 1980 during season 6. It was an ad for the Johnny Carson school of broadcasting that basically accused Carson of being a hack who stole most of his material (which was true, all of his famous recurring bits were ripped off ). It was a fair attack, but pretty mean spirited.

[@peterryan4185]

[@seanwebb605]

How about Norm MacDonald's impression of David Letterman on SNL? With Chris Kattan and Kids In The Hall guy doing Paul?

Conan O'Brien History on SNL..... Saturday Night Live > Writer for 3 seasons (1988-89, 1989-90, 1990-91) Emmy Awards > Winner 1989 "Outstanding Writing -Variety Program" (SNL) Saturday Night Live > Hosted in 2001 (musical guest Don Henley) Saturday Night Live > Cameo acting appearance 2022

[@Darin.Pearson]

Neil Young's performance on SNL of "Rockin in the Free World" was spectacular. Another spectacular performance on a talk show was Mellisa Etheridge performing "The Angels" on David Letterman. I saw the original performance on TV and when Melissa walked over to Dave afterwards, he said that they have had a lot of great musical acts on his show but how many have come in and just blown the place to bits. Very high praise.

[@lisabutter6181]

do you know that my depression relaxes...i think its even going away. I either sing i wish it would rain down by Phil C. or watch some comedians on youtube. I actually pay for youtube i love youtube for connecting us all as much as we can handle. Some Comedians...Coco, damn old letterman with the office comic dude that would save anyone from depression.

Why we don't have the video????

[@mdesantiago9778]

With all respect to Dana and David and the folks they talked about and mentioned - my opinion is that Conan is the funniest and him sharing his vulnerability and insecurities about his talent boggles the mind - seems all artists torture and doubt themselves immensely for some reason

You just made me think, David Bowie sketch would have worked if you were the first receptionist and then you had to take someone down the hall to the next office and he didn’t recognize you! Satisfying everyone. That would have been a crescendo!

[@lisamari941]

These guys discussing Chris Farley and the fact that I grew up watching this cast in the early to mid 90s as a kid. And now my 10 year old LOVES Tommy Boy and wants to watch it all the time (which is around the same age I was when it came out and loved it// also things were different back then, kids could easily watch all these movies back then and me and all my friends and cousins my same age loved it!). But now when my kid is watching it, I’m with her and I just fast forward through the racy parts. But I’m glad my kid is able to enjoy some of the greatest comedy ever made from the greatest period of SNL imo. I never understood why the cast completely changed over night seemingly in around ‘96. I was so mad, even as I kid, and hated SNL after that. It really hasn’t been as good since. Only recently, in like the last year, I’ve actually lol’d watching the show in over 20 years. Here’s to hoping they’ve finally found a cast that’s as good as the early 90s era. 😕

[@Skull_slinger]

[@ChrisOler]

What Neil Young did (on SNL) was thrash that guitar so hard one of his strings let go. I mean, that happens, sometimes that's a tiny metal whip whizzing by your eyeball, but the way he kept playing, Neil just seemed more angry the rest of the strings were still there.

[@superxblades]

Believe it or not alot of us really sit in front of a tv and put on a podcast.

Please get a camera in there. Please

[@pho3nix-]

Johnny Carson just had a fragile ego, had nothing to do with anyone making jokes on his expense. He should have just embraced the SNL sketches as a testament to his legacy.

[@vanmoody]

Johnny beat all newcomers. There would be a graveyard of past hosts who had to quit because Johnny beat them. This interview made me think of the Carsinio sketch where Johnny decided he needed to be more hip so he transformed to be like Arsenio.

[@conorsmith8551]

lol now I see they were making light of this with krusty being past it when the Gabbo show comes along and he said “I’ve had plenty of people come after me and I’ve buried em all, hobos… sea captains… Joey bishop” 😂😂😂
