Conan O'Brien on what he does when he meets people who don't recognize him

CNN's Jake Tapper talks to Conan O'Brien about his new travel show, "Conan O'Brien Must Go." #CNN #News

[@cleverusername9369]

PSA: Conan O'Brien has finally done Hot Ones, and it was glorious

[@debbiedoodiedandi]

In every way possible 😂😂😂

[@McCannacle]

absolutely🔥🔥🔥

[@s1x6x1s]

pure chaos... classic Coco

[@hw-rg7gn]

Our democracy is under siege from the GOP, oligarchs are destroying the middle class, Republican judges are targeting women, minorities, immugrants, and the LGBTQ community...and all Tapper does is write books, stare blankly at guests who spew lies, and interview celebrities. Tapper fits in well with the Vichy French of WWII.

[@randyisafilmer]

and that's why we're all here watching CNN now

[@malloryhead]

I met Conan a few times. The first time is something I’ll never forget. he was the absolute sweetest guy. Like how you’d hope he would be. He played such a HUGE part of my childhood from 10 years old on (and I’m 40 next week) and when I was telling him in the most calm /chill way how big he was to me as a kid and how the show was a huge comfort for me due to just…chaos in my family ..I absolutely got emotional out of nowhere and he goes “I’m so glad I could be there for you during that time.” And was so kind and gave me a hug. I think it cured my childhood trauma lolll I waited 27 years for that . But we also chatted about stuff after but mannnn I’ll never forget that. He is an absolute gem.

[@h3artands0uLL]

This secondhand cured mine 🥲😭🥹🥲. I’m so glad you had that experience with him! Sounds like he’s the absolute best and one of the heroes you want to meet. I hope I get to talk to him one day and tell him how much he means to me and has made me smile, laugh, and have hope in the hardest times. Also how much I look up to him for how he treats others even when they hurt him - he never lashed out at Jay for the crap he pulled. Even tho everyone would have backed him up on it. In that 60minutes interview for his tour, he had the opportunity to tear Jay apart and he didn’t. He said he wished him and the heads of the network the best. In the midst of his pain. An absolute class act. Yes the occasional joke on air here and there but never disparaging and harmful. I love him and look up to him. He’s like another Robin Williams to me in his own way - with just how much he’s made me laugh and brought comfort by his performances/shows/demeanor. Anyway…. Love you, Coco! So glad he is as kind in person to regular folks as he appears to be

[@malloryhead]

Also was impressed he knew the name of this absolutely obscure and silly sketch they did like in the late 90s…they did it ONE time and I described it barely and he knew the name of it like instantly. Howwww? (Ps. It was Tea Copywriter Cage Match)

[@nexstory]

I was sitting at an outdoor restaurant one evening and I noticed Conan sitting by himself at a table writing in a notebook around ten feet away from me. There were just the two of us and out of respect for his privacy, I had no intention of connecting with him. However, as he glanced up from his writing, he immediately started a conversation with me as if we were already friends. The exchange was warm and engaging and a few weeks later, I again saw him at a breakfast restaurant with his wife. I was so impressed that he remembered my name and even gave his wife a brief summary of the conversation we had. Well beyond his celebrity stature, he is truly a nice guy.,

[@cloudwatcher608]

It’s funny how he kinda tries to act like he’s a jerk but in reality he’s the nicest guy, he’s the anti-Ellen

[@PabloTheThinker]

Conan used to be a lot funnier before he became woke.

[@dickelstephen]

I’m not sure Conan truly knows how much he has helped ordinary people everywhere in the world find themselves. I grew up with Conan in Germany and I still to this day have adopted his credo “work hard and be good to everyone”. Conan is part of the good in this world

[@chrisofstars]

He's the real deal

[@JosephWallace-xo8sg]

He knows. Him going to Finland should be proff enough. If not I hear on the 18th he's got some stuff coming out where he goes to fans across the world.

[@YodatheHobbit]

I actually really like that Conan didn't make fun of even O.J. the day he passed away. But tomorrow's free reign. Class.

[@Inthedarrk]

He's a genuine guy. ✨️

You can tell what Jake thinks of anyone outside of Hollywood.

​@@DJSteezy that's an obvious joke though

[@mrfatuchi]

@@aratilishehe Joke or not I would cancel him over that. The s*** people got canceled over but this guy insulted the majority of population like some lesser race because we arent celebrities.

[@sirsmokeefortwence25]

I was pretty shocked he would know that term lol bizarre. Kinda makes him a normie

[@richardcranium5801]

It’s an old term. It’s current iteration is usually now reserved for the 8chan incels who think they’re special.

[@memoryboy]

Only Conan would make his fans the stars of the show.

[@anthonygordon9483]

He made his assistant famous and all of his writers famous. He made his "Associate Producer" Jordan Sylansky famous. In a nutshell yeah, he made his staff famous , he can make his fans famous. Hell Conan is a rare breed cause he was a nobody even when he got famous. As David Lettermen ellegantly said. Conan got the Golden Ticket. Now he is giving it to everyone. He is a smart man.

[@florete2310]

And his staffers. And rightfully so - Team Coco is awesome

[@high-defRJ]

@@anthonygordon9483 Yep, and Sona and Jack McBrayer, too. He also made Korean lady and two Japanese ladies in his Korea/Japan remotes funny as hell. Conan has that Midas Touch to make 'regular people' shine and have their moments, and that is what sets him apart from many other comedians and late night hosts.

Just met Conan O’Brien in person delivered food to him. I looked up and said Big Fan. He immediately said thank you asked my name and shook my hand. Not that I’m shocked but I deliver to celebrities often and they aren’t always this enthusiastic. He seemed very genuine. I’m glad to share the story about his character.

Well, everyone is talking to and about Conan now because of his new show and his podcast has been active this entire time. The last time I heard anything about Jay Leno in several years, maybe 5 or so, was reading your comment. So, I think we both know who has been more successful.

Jay who?

Jake is super happy to have Coco on. You can tell, they are legit friends.

7:26 it’s only right in this segment for Conan to have referenced Norm. Honestly I’ve been thinking about Norm all day on this day.

[@obscurecamera24]

I knew I wasnt the only one who thought about Norm.

[@michaelrmurphy2734]

Ironically, I was watching old segments with Norm MacDonald on David Letterman last night. The "Don Ohlmeyer got me fired" one. Dave called him a pinhead. Don Olhmeyer that is. Then today I hear that OJ had died. Scary... I wonder what Norm will be saying to them up there!!!

[@sirsmokeefortwence25]

Norm is the natural person to mention while jake was just looking for a cheap joke

[@1craley878]

How can you not think of Norm when OJ dies, norm was an original and one of the bravest comedians ever. I still laugh at the thought of his boss telling him to stop with the OJ jokes, he really didn't understand who he was talking to, and norm did the whole weekend update on only OJ. Lol, Rip Norm.

[@Max_m]

Same, went on a Norm on Conan binge the other day. Really the only host who knew how to interview him right

So happy to see this show come to fruition. His comedy always thrived doing remotes and bouncing off of other people’s energy. It brings me great satisfaction to see him be in his element enjoying and doing what he does best - doing tomfoolery out in the world.

Conan's "remotes" were better than 95% of official travel shows. Despite the jokes, he showcases and appreciate the culture of each place he visited. I am looking forward to watching his show.
