[@ParkerLongbaugh]

Norm, Burr and Olyphant. Are my Top 3.

[@seanbs]

Yup. I would say Norm was also Letterman’s best guest.

[@famatu]

i would add jeff goldblum and bill hader

[@bernlin2000]

Great choices. I would probably add Martin Short and Paul Rudd as well.

[@danielcarlin2699]

Paul Rudd, Norm, and Bill Hader

[@sherrimollett1076]

I was thinking Norm for sure

[@mikecantreed]

Conan is such a smart effective communicator.

[@christinemerritt974]

Agreed. Very Articulate.

[@mikeyt2404]

He went to Harvard

[@Nerdificationing]

Harvard does that

[@stuffstuffstuffyay]

emotional intelligence

[@AverageBeatlesFan]

He did major in communications I believe, haha

[@Shawn-wt4kh]

Crazy to see Conan so genuine for this length of time. He's always doing bits everywhere else. Howard gets him on a different level.

[@strahljd]

I definitely recommend watching more of his sit-down interviews, he's always been a fantastic interviewee...anytime he's in some sort of workshop situation (Inside the Actor's Studio, Oxford Union, etc) he's so generous and down to earth, and just a wealth of knowledge and experience...his storytelling ability is second to none (even while continuing to be the funniest person alive)

[@sanjithechef]

He has these moments sparingly on his podcast lol but yes 10x as many jokes on there too. Lhe’s great to listen to either way

[@noahhaonsmith6963]

And this is the real Conan.

[@Bruceybaby2009]

He’s always pretty genuine on his podcast, or as a guest on podcasts

[@R3TR0J4N]

Yea can tell he respect Conan

[@mikehoncho4480]

Norm, Harland Williams, and Jeff Goldblum were always my favorite Conan guests.

[@morningstar577]

RIP Norm!

[@SRaburrido]

Olyphant and Bill Burr complete that list for me.

[@josiecameron3395]

He's the best! Truly

[@ralhamami]

I was going to add Bill Burr and Kevin Nealon to that list.

[@rodimussubprime]

Bill Burr too

[@traviswilkes6995]

I love Conan he is the best late night host ever period

[@blacksabbath4252]

Everyone else past and present can't hold a candle to Conan

[@juscryandsyd]

Facts

[@cuellar4500]

Agreed

[@party4keeps28]

Hands down.

[@blacksabbath4252]

@@party4keeps28 Conan was simply more funny than anyone else by 100 miles

[@SNESdrunk]

This is such great insight. Some folks don't coast on their celeb status, they actually have earned that, and prove it by working hard. That's awesome

[@waiyang830]

I just finished watching your insights on Code Name: Viper. good stuff

[@mattfigueira856]

Love SNESDRUNK by the way! Happened to see your message here :)

[@nickm2483]

Of all Conan's clips on KZbin, the ones I re-watch the most aren't the interviews. They're his 'remote' clips where he catches his staff eating cake, or conducts performance reviews. That's where Conan made himself different from other hosts

[@grrrrliz]

Same, I love the Conan staff!

[@siddharthgopinath4460]

Same !!! Especially the Finland and Armenia remotes

[@RaulieGonzo97]

The Foodies remote is in the Conan Hall of Fame imo

[@vovahimself]

Funny that these are still called “remotes.”

[@attackingflair]

Hader, Burr, Nealon, Norm, Goldblum, Brand and Short are at the top for me, with special mention to Olyphant, Gervais and Ferrell. And for the ladies Aubrey Plaza and Nikki Glaser were always great.

[@user-vc5rp7nf8f]

how he described tom hanks' success as 'not being an accident' was well put

[@cherylb2008]

Perfect description Conan: “ It’s emotional intelligence “. Perfect

[@NoellaScott]

We all know Norm, sure. And others. Conan was answering from the perspective of what makes for a great guest in terms of their kindness and grace while naming super duper stars.

[@deettekearns9092]

Such a smart interview. Thank you!

[@mangasky7]

Norm was the greatest, hands down. Bowie was special, too.

[@bloodysabbath1984]

Norm was nothing short of amazing

[@Novastar6]

Norms interviews with Conan are some of the best in late night history

[@stephendenney7349]

There are classic moments with Norm MacDonald on Conan's show that remind me of Don Rickles on the Tonight Show with Johnny Carson, I would say both that Norm was Conan's funniest guest and that Conan was Norm's best host.

[@deboramoroney4137]

I love Conan especially his late late show where he could really do or say anything!!! The Best

[@juliocesarpereira4325]

Rebecca Romijn was a great guest. She went along Conan's craziest bits and I keep watching it over and over. It's always funny.

[@bobm9621]

"emotional intelligence" that's a beautiful description

[@ap6160]

Norm, Ferrell, Hanks are my top three favorite Conan guests

[@halcyon_garden]

Norm, Bill Hader, and Martin Short are my 3 favorites :D

[@ryanbender7005]

Finally someone mentions Martin Short!

[@halcyon_garden]

@@ryanbender7005 the goat fr

[@Mr_Substantial]

Bill Harder was a great one too. Always giggling together.

[@billhaderluvr8677]

i love bill harder

[@matthewbertram4312]

Always bummed when Flula doesn't get a shout-out for Conan. He was consistently one of the most entertaining guests he'd have.

[@user-db6pt7vr3l]

What's a Flula?

[@holbol9468]

Paul Rudd and his Mac & Me clips!!!! 😂

[@timothyfagan207]

10000%!

[@Kodu212]

Jeff Goldblum was a recurring and great guest on Conan

[@KAREEMGRIO]

I'm anticipating the HBO variety show Conan!

[@BbGun-lw5vi]

My faves were Norm, Kevin Nealon, Bill Hader, and Nikki Glaser.

[@jordanweller7485]

Conan’s just coming up with these now. He has said Norm so many times. The people know what a gift he was on his show.

[@kalebpost20]

Norm, Kevin Nealon, Martin Short

[@monsieurprince1499]

Such a great question! Howard fan since 2000

[@ScottParisi]

Mitch Hedberg, Norm Macdonald and Bill Burr are fabulous

[@apologeticsroadshow]

I guess I can't say he's wrong, since the topic is Conan's favorite guests, and he's free to pick whoever he wants. But as a viewer, the only correct response is: (1) Norm MacDonald; (2) Bill Burr.

[@jerminator356]

Paul Rudd was always entertaining on Conan

[@Randomguy0011]

I can’t believe Norm wasn’t mentioned. He may not have been predictable but he always made a show worth talking about.

[@dockennedy8091]

Norm and Harland Williams always stood out.

[@CobyAshpis]

Conan is cut from the same cloth as Springsteen and Tom Hanks

[@TBINBD]

I assumed he’d say Martin Short! He’s always prepared with great stories, and he’s always hilarious.

[@peterdavis8585]

Great stuff.

[@TonyVega123]

My favorite Conan guests were Corbin Bernsen, Steven Wright and Paul Rudd (mainly because he always showed up with the same ridiculous clip). Obviously everyone will say Norm. He was a true gem. As was Burr in the later years.

[@charliep5139]

Robin Williams, Martin Short, Tom Hanks. If they are ever on a late night show, I'm watching it. RIP, Robin

[@russsavage1611]

Timothy Oliphant is my favorite low-key guest but the Bill Burr appearances take the cake IMO

[@JuniorRodriguez-nk6rq]

He asks this every interview. Cmon Howard

[@hoo_jii]

Norm, Farley, Smigel, Will Arnett, Jeff Goldblum

[@willromeny1]

Love that ❤

[@SeemoreDunkan]

I was waiting for him to say Norm Macdonald

[@halfblooddutchprince]

After watching Norm on The Daily Show promoting Sports Show with Norm Macdonald, I looked him up on youtube. First two videos were of him on Conan and Letterman. I immediately started watching their late night shows

[@TheMan750]

Norm and Aubrey Plaza always stood out for me

[@keeloraz9452]

Conan is one of my friend tv personalities.

[@user-fv1jn1gw5w]

Awesome

[@imalwaysright]

Everyone loves The Boss!!

[@robk.6591]

Bill Hader is always a good choice.

[@emilianoo.1596]

Norm, Chapelle, Hader, Goldblum, Lauren Graham, Bill Burr, Craig Bierko, animal "expert" Jarod Miller, Paul Rudd, Marc Maron, etc

[@harrypicken4327]

Robin Williams and Norm were 3rd and 4th I’m sure !

[@MISNM0]

Robin Williams 😊

[@melissacastro5006]

Emotional intelligence 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼 well said

[@vrvaughn]

Norm knew how to run rings around Conan… 😂

[@retroguitarmaster]

My favorite guests are Norm, Kevin Nealon and Burr, and as a non-regular guest, I really liked his Simon Helberg interview, I think my top pick is Kevin

[@goodbadbill]

Bill Hader makes for a great show too

[@sslocke]

Norm, Burr and Martin Short were always my fav

[@BookishDrummer]

Norm, Bill Burr, Jeff Goldbum, Bill Hader, Aubrey Plaza

[@onelove1968]

I could feel Howard slowly shriveling down within his chair from behind his 'console'.

[@bloodysabbath1984]

Norm was probably the best. Flula was pretty epic on Conan’s tbs show as well

[@gabrielrosenberg6734]

Al Roker, Dave Attell, Mr T, also great Howard guests

[@kispresso4691]

Norm, Goldblum, Nealon. Hands down.

[@grogu1986]

Norm and Olyphant ❤

[@DJEmonTV]

Norm, Kevin Nealon, bill burr, Will Ferrell, Kevin Hart, Olyphant, Jeff Goldblum.

[@jasonpoletta1797]

That has to be the longest Howard has ever been silent lmao

[@rocksully]

Emotional Intelligence. That term hit me. Conan has that

[@googleaccount2637]

Norm was the best

[@LilTy702]

Me personally, Norm, and Bill burr

[@BriRog68]

Bruce Springsteen was on Fallon ....he was phenomenal ♥️♥️

[@MrJayehawk]

Legit thought he'd instantly say Norm.

[@imalwaysright]

The stories about Bruce & Tom Hanks 😭😭😭

[@kairoberts663]

Timothy Olyphant, Paul Rudd, Martin Short, and of course Norm . Is my Conon Mt Rushmore

[@tentardigrades968]

Olyphant and Bull are tied #1, close 2nds are Paul Rudd, Martin Short, Bill Hader, Marc Maron

[@matthewchristopher16]

Little late here, but Martin Short and Zach Galifianakis are my favs

watching storm chaser in north tx, blizzard, white out conditions

[@inanisneminem]

Emotional intelligence 🤣 I have none of that

[@takumisugawara9634]

I love Robin Williams on Conan’s Tonight show. My favorite.

[@andrewwatson8591]

Norm is without question the number 1 Conan guest of all time. VERY disappointed he didn’t mention him

[@MISNM0]

He loves Norm very much and that's a known fact. That he didn't mention him doesn't alter anything about Norm's place in his heart or favorite guest line-up.

[@Ryan-st7hq]

He's not really talking about laughs. Hanks and Springsteen are the epitome of class in the entertainment industry. Obviously Hanks can be very funny too, but he is not a comic.

[@s2Capacidade2s]

I think he wanted to mention two people that are huge stars and are down to Earth.

[@davemac5260]

Conan’s wit was always on the same level as Bill Hader’s. He was the perfect Conan guest.

[@dizzy4dizney432]

Harrison Ford. Especially the very first interview with the elevator story.

[@jpman9]

Norm, Martin Short, Goldblum

[@LloydBraun11]

Norm, Christopher Walken and Jeff Goldblum.

[@drunkunkle8077]

Carson conan and letterman best of all time

[@juliopaez4516]

When is Howard going back to the studio?

[@ReggieWhite15]

Wow The #Boss was a class act ❤️❤️❤️👍👍👍

[@ColtyT33]

Normie!

[@erics667]

#gratitude.

[@cleander97]

How about Jim Carry? All his appearances were well thought out and played.

[@hamstercrap8453]

The lightning in a bottle he has captured with Norm is one of the most iconic things in talk show history and Conan doesn't mention Nrom? I don't understand, Conan is still one of my hero's, just sad Norm was not mentioned.

[@ritwikr]

Don't worry he's mentioned him many many times before: kzbin.info/www/bejne/rH6vkn9rpbKVmck I'd be sad watching this as well if I hadn't seen the rest

[@hamstercrap8453]

@@ritwikr yess haha seen this many of times, i guess im just greedy for Conans compassion for him

[@Fliphistory]

Norm, Burr, Olyphant, Glasser, Rudd, Dana Carvey.

[@megb7758]

He and bill hader are always great together too

[@serbonkers4130]

Id say Bill Burr, Norm, Sandler and the boys, Kevin Nealon, Will Arnett, Will Ferrell and Bill Hader.

[@bernlin2000]

Wow, Howard finally having someone funny on the show!

[@y1hj2]

Norm, Olyphant, Hader, Burr, Kevin Nealon and of course Jeff Goldblume

[@moviefan8533]

Bill Burr, Goldblum, and Olyphant.

[@BestAudiovisualTricks]

You forgot Bill Burr! Your best guest ever!

[@gear5soul]

Robin Williams takes control of every show he comes on. Every show.

[@Phobero]

I was expecting Norm...

[@illmakeyouuncomfortable7745]

Hope you didn't forget Norm Macdonald. Best guest Ever!

[@marvinoli]

my top three are marty short, norm and jeff goldblum

[@TheMattForbes]

Norm, Marty Short, Will Ferrell and Goldblum have to top the list!

[@TheEmperorOfTheWorld]

Norm Macdonald is forever number one
