Conan O'Brien 'Louis C.K. 7/24/98

Late Night with Conan O'Brien - Louis C.K.

[@Raytarded66]

Ahhh good ol' 1998, back when you could have 9 minutes of tv without a commercial

[@mcwhertortk]

i was thinking while i was watching it "this is pretty long"

[@SomeNiceMovies]

Duke Silver That is still the case in Sweden though :) 23 min sitcoms have 1 commercial break in the middle, they run for around 25-28 mins :)

[@kricku]

SomeNiceMovies the commercials run for 25-28 minutes that is

[@SomeNiceMovies]

[@XtremeKillah101]

I love how the band always plays iron man for his entrance song

@gothael1 you can watch other interviews on Conan they play that song for him in the beginning

[@jqyhlmnp]

[@r.edward5701]

Reference to his Wang?

[@lynottlives]

He was part of the original Conan writing staff. I presume hey just know it’s his favourite song and play it for him when he’s on.

[@andrewp146]

gothael1 you seem like a dick

[@Creixhitme]

love him--but he's gotten so much better. props.

[@SandraLovesRoses]

I disagree! He was totally funny at 21! I've got a wide taste in styles of humor, though.He made the audience and me laugh and was on a cable show, so I am pretty sure that would mean he was funny...not to everyone, but, that is how art is...

[@CalebMcFarland]

山崎六郎 yeah, he was pretty bad as a kid. But it shows you how you can improve even if you aren't so great in the beginning. Through effort he massively improved.

[@troofveritas8233]

@Gourmet And so did the person you responded to. I don’t think anyone would think they could establish an essentially certain, objectively true, scientifically verifiable method for determining and rank-ordering the top couple handfuls of comedians historically by quality.

Why does the conan band always play "Iron Man" when Louis CK is on? Probably some inside joke from Louis' days on the writing staff of Late Night.

[@ShellysAshes]

I like how you can see little moments of nervousness and self-doubt that he doesn’t have as an older comic. However, if he gets back on talk shows again we might get to see his nervousness again cus he’ll be thinking “half of these people probably think I’m a monster”. It’ll be so cute.

[@BigBoss7777777]

I noticed the same thing, the moments of self doubt.

[@Kier4n99]

He did a show recently where he talks about what happened; really funny

[@iPSLee]

[@ms.m3n]

Augh - so grateful KZbin suggested this before I sleep 🙌 I adore Louis. Somewhat related. Last week I was inspired to set up an open mic at this tiny spot with fantastic lighting round where I live. They said email booking, I did right then and there (2 Fridays ago). The following week, last Monday I went to the other comedy spot to get their blessing and they said go ahead! Seems to be their comedy crew used to perform once a month but not lately. Anyhow, I returned to my new waterhole and it was closed that Monday. Returned Saturday and well, the sound guy acted totally different. His group scattered. Idk if the place will hold water since they decided to not keep the kitchen open - tough times everywhere I guess.

I just noticed how weird it is that andy richter is always cut out from the shot, its like those fb pics where people cut out the person next to them

[@dudedysseus]

I always think about that when I watch a Conan clip. I don't know why he's there; it's gotta be awkward.

Has he ever had hair on his head? Just wondering. . .

[@La_sagne]

Sagar Hirani yep.. there's even older stuff like from 1987 where he almost has full hair

[@sagarhirani4559]

I wonder why half bald people keep half a head of hair. Why not get rid of em all and have a new look. Better than the 'Oh man hair loss!' look, isn't it?

[@La_sagne]

1. some people look worse without hair, 2. hair loss is actually a symptom(doesn't happen always and mostly to whites but it's related) of a lot of testosterone which is why women don't seem to mind too much

[@sagarhirani4559]

[@victoryak86]

It’s weird, the old Conan seemed less happy or funny than the newer Conan. He was always funny but he has definitely gotten better in recent years.

[@heydavedawson]

His late night host status was really rocky according to critics and the NBC higher ups were always back and forth about continuing his show as the crew and Conan were constantly working to put on a good show. Watch Conan Can’t Stop documentary. He explains the whole situation! It was rocky and never easy. Those execs were sharks and had a hard on for Leno.

[@pincopallino7092]

Waking up tough or angry reminded me of Chris D'Elia joke about gangster (rappers).

[@Protectobot]

Lol...the funny thing is, I've been in that situation before, and I would just walk ahead of the woman and hope she doesn't still get lost so she doesn't think I'm stalking her. I just hope she doesn't think I'm leading the way for her at that point. Otherwise, I might say something like, 'I'm going there too. See ya later!' and just keep going but make sure I'm ahead of the person.

[@ender003]

JustBeClever And yet today he's saying even more outrageous stuff. He's untouchable.

[@flamingfailureproductions3033]

+JustBeClever I heard him tell the story about the Italian guys on some video and he was on stage, not on TV, and the line wasn't he was making out with one of them but he was blowing him, so I guess they toned you down for TV in those days as well. When he started the bit I was actually curious to see how he would change it in order to not have it censored, it doesn't work as well as the original imo. I think I heard some other bit of his where they have him take it down a notch for TV and it kind of ruins the joke.

[@yommish]

What exactly? these are really tame jokes by today’s standards. He’s way more edgy now and no one “crucifies” him for his material. You’re complaining about nothing
