Enjoy what you do

[@dileep-kumar]

Conan literally nailed the interview. Experience and knowledge never goes old before young people.

[@songokussj2446]

Conan is simply the most awesome, interesting, deep, nice and smart person to listen to. Pure joy.

[@user-60267]

This is the only Oxford union address I watch again and again. Conan is both one of the silliest people on tv and the most insightful. It just shows you how humble he is to be that smart yet be willing to be that silly for his comedy. He doesn’t take himself seriously at all and that makes him one of the greats to me.

[@euclidcasadastraphobia1640]

Im happy that the majority of the internet see him as one of the only good talk show hosts. The fact he can keep my attention for an hour with all the randomness i can click on is a testament to his ability to speak and convey humor and emotion.

[@robbieredrum5953]

I love when Conan gets serious and talks about how hard he worked before he became super famous.

[@u216]

I have watched this many times. I am so impressed by Conan’s honesty, talents and humor. 💕

[@jessicagoco7782]

This video played automatically, didn't think I'd finish the whole hour's worth. Really good insights from Conan 💯

[@MrDruism]

I was 12 when Conan started and my best friend and I loved the show right from the start! We thought it was so funny and different from the talk shows that my parents watched and liked so it was like the late show for the new generation that was growing up. My friend and I were so inspired we started our own Conan style talk show with his video camera and made about 30 episodes.

[@brad8476]

This is like my 20th time rewatching a bunch of his videos, honestly he's the only talk host that i even like he's hilarious.

[@HBarnill]

Conan’s a continuous inspiration to us all.

[@hubbs5759]

Conan is just one of those people that I could sit and listen to forever. There aren't many. This felt like it was over so quickly.

[@brooksbrooks6805]

Honest to god... THE best late night host of all time. And one of the most naturally mind blowingly hilarious people on the planet. Seeing Conan live anywhere is on my bucket list

[@kiranks2682]

Already watched it on their channel multiple times. Conan is just the best.

[@josephjoestar8294]

I just can't believe I watch these whole interviews from Harvard and Oxford, and I love it.

[@N4N0808]

This is the best Conan interview I've seen. So raw.

[@edwardpal7679]

Conan is the best honestly he's always genuine and gets other people hyped.

[@NowyouknowMusic]

Conan is one of my heroes. Self-awareness in the silliest way. What a humorous perspective on life.

[@atreyuschronicles8589]

The irony of and for all great comedians, and Conan nails it with his "you shouldn't laugh at that", is that their is an insecurity or even overwhelming sadness within. What a great presentation and Conan is Top Shelf material without a doubt.

[@uyenvypham1566]

I always tend to cry when there is so much realness in somebody’s answers. And Conan helped me to realize that.

[@marissa0379]

I love you Conan!!!! I was watching his first year when i was young too. My older sister was 10 years older than me and would have to watch me when our dad traveled for business. So her stoner friends would all come over and we always watched Conan. They were super high but i was not and I loved it🥰 Now my kids watch him with me. A comedy legend, big time.

[@ishan_singh]

I remember first seeing this video when it had been up for like one or two hours, and now this must be the fourth of fifth time I'm watching this in it's entirety. Just wanna say that watching Conan has got me through so much... Even today, when I was feeling down, had a lot of things eating at me, I trusted this man enough to say "lemme load up his video, he'll make everything alright." And I'd have to say yes, he did make everything alright, I'm feeling much better now...

[@XeresKyle]

Conan is just a quintessential human being. He has some amazing life accomplishments but he's content, he's not conceited; he takes life one day at a time. He's so comfortable with being himself. The guy is so wise and his aura is just beaming! He is life.

Brilliant to see this side of Conan. Total respect.

What an honor for Oxford to be graced with Conan's presence. 🙂

[@meghandelavan5434]

When I saw this I took a double take because I was so excited! Congratulations on achieving such a prestigious invitation. You truly do have an incredible combination of insight, intellect, and humor, that I will always admire and and aspire to have in my own way. :-)

[@Zetsuke4]

not really, they have lots of people there. they dont really know who he was either.

[@adamdalton3700]

I heard some of these stories before, I never get tired of it. It still feels fresh and funny; what an amazing life. He’s been an integral inspiration my whole life

[@justanotheryoutubefan8070]

I agree 100%!!

[@brofenix]

I loved this :D Conan gives so much good insight & reflection, it's really nice to see a genuinely good human being famous & give back comedy to the world. I love that the interviewer only had to ask like 7 questions the entire ~1 hour Conan was talking :P

[@satorulobo]

Thank you Team Coco for sharing this

[@PassiveDissimulation]

You’re a saint Conan, pretty much the only comedian I truly enjoy. I “endured” many performances, with other comedians over the years with my family. But you, truly make me laugh in times when I have no feelings of happiness. I TRULY enjoy your rhetoric, always leaves me with a smile.

[@areeshahasan8665]

I love conan but I would rather rip out my fingernails than be the person interviewing him in any situation. He’s such a vibrant and unpredictable person I would just stutter like an idiot.

[@chaudhryyahya1018]

I believe yah!!

[@TChalla616]

Interviewing Conan would be a breeze! He could be interviewed by a rock, and it would be a good conversation.

[@vandanacasm]

I'd gouge my eyes out than interview him

[@frankG335]

The key is to let him rip and be his audience, and occasionally guide the discussion. He doesn't even need an interviewer.
