Conan's Trip To Germany | Late Night with Conan O’Brien

[@vincentbaron4254]

I am a german and I am watching an american host with an american show who has been in germany to be a guest in a german talk show who is talking english but dubbed for germans to german dubbed back to english for the original show so I have to translate all for myself into german. What an inception.

@Peter Evans lol

[@thebeyonder8814]

@Peter Evans that's the best "I am short but..." Rant ever.

[@DivinesLegacy]

@Peter Evans people always say this lol, but I can debunk this easily, German Americans are the same height as Germans in Germany. The reason the stats show the average German is taller than the average American is because the United States is much more diverse in terms of ethnic groups. For example the average Latino is around 5”7 and The US has around 50 million Latinos along with 20,000,000 Asians. and Asians and Latinos are known for being short. So what that does is bring the average height down. But if you were to compare German Americans and Germans there would be little to no difference in terms of height. For example the average height in Alabama is 5”11 for men where it’s really white. Compared to Germany where it’s only 5”10 for men.

@@gevorgvanarmenie9788 Well I'm not sure if this is actually where Conan got that one, but here is my stab at it. I would write what Conan said with German spelling as "Leo Sleizer". There is no such modern German word as "Sleizer", but it _is_ a German-origin surname, coming from an old spelling for "Schleizer" (where "sch" is pronounced the same as "sh" in English), which means "slicer". So Conan was really lucky that that Leo didn't slice his throat :-)

[@rolanddeschain6089]

The Harald Schmidt Show initially stole heavily from Conan and Letterman. But especially during the first season. At that time they didn't really know what they were doing and just did things "that have already worked". After that, they found their own style and sense of humor and got pretty good honestly.

Harald Schmidt himself admitted serveral times that his show was a german copy of the Letterman show. His TV buddy Herbert Feuerstein with whom he had a show with which was his TV breakthrough showed him a tapes of the Letterman show and encouraged him that he could do a brilliant german version of it. Sadly, Feuerstein died this year and Harald Schmidt enjoys his TV pension since his show went off air in 2014 because TV audience was declining steadily and Schmidt probably was past his prime. However he did a brilliant job with his own show and still remains to be the most original and witty person in the german TV landscape.

Love how that German lady genuinely seems uncomfortable when Conan brings up the stolen ideas.

[@traudelbunbel132]

which is wired, as Harald, the host, never made aaany secret about the fact that they stole alot from US originals :D he actually liked to make jokes about the fact xd (after 9/11... "our friendship with the USA is and always has been endless.. its so endless we stole an entire show years ago" ) :D

The USA had stolen the german nuke tech and take over Wernher von Braun. So we are ok.

[@BlackWater_49]

@Alpine Snoozer No clue what that has to do with the conversation at all...

[@BlackWater_49]

@Alpine Snoozer Ok, thank you very much for outing yourself. Your comments are clearly racially motivated since they are A: completely historically inaccurate and B: have nothing to do with the conversation in any way shape or form. I would personally advise you to go and an institution commonly known as school to get something that is at least resembling education because that way you could at least pretend not to be a moron.

Harald Schmidt is a clever and eloquent guy but he nearly disappears when Conan is there. Conan has an appearance that is truly special. It must suck to feel that he outclasses you in every aspect.

Well, being outwitted/-classed rarely feels nice - but it's usually helpful, to realize your current boundaries/limitations, inspiring you to work on those.

Schmidt needed several years to get his show working and find his own, unique style. Then it reached classic status, both with audience and critics. don't tell Conan, might remind him of some unpleasant experiences...
