Conan & Tom Hanks Met At "SNL" In 1988 | Conan O’Brien Needs a Friend

[@JamJim]

WE NEED THE FULL-LENGTH OF "Conan O'Brien Needs A Friend" ALL VIDEO PODCAST

[@OMFGitsLUCAS]

Pleeeeeeeease

[@lonelyone]

I hate podcasts because I don't like using my imagination. I'd watch a filmed version of it for sure.

[@mtrps_]

yeah, something like the Norm MacDonald Show

[@snavisTM]

I think you mean "LIKES FOR ATTENTION AND TO MAKE ME FEEL LOVED" Lame ass.

[@crapitoutjim]

snavis couldn't agree more, pathetic person who is so desperate for likes.

[@ExileOnDaytonStreet]

Something I noticed listening to the podcast: Tom Hanks is one of those people who gets to know a lot of people in the room. Conan noted that he hung out with the writers at SNL when he could've been schmoozing with Lorne Michaels. At the end of the podcast, he's thanking A LOT of people from Conan's team by name.

[@billjensen401]

Conan looks 20 years younger with relaxed hair and those glasses.

[@michaelbain4930]

and no beard

[@snavisTM]

Or perhaps its because it's not super high definition like you're used to seeing him.

[@billjensen401]

@@snavisTM yep, I thought of that after I posted.

[@Paul-dw2cl]

He looks more like a writer

[@13ivanogre13]

Junior year.

[@AquaAtia]

I love how Tom Hanks still sounds so starstruck about SNL and how he mostly remembers all the details, sometimes better than Conan, on his times there

[@BlutigeTranen]

Imagine being Sona - hanging out with Tom Hanks on Zoom while being a secretary for what is genuinely considered one of the best people to ever work for.

[@TheMijman]

Assistant

[@Totallysickofonions]

Is he tho behind the scenes? I kno when the cameras are rolling he trolls and abuses but I’d genuinely like to kno if his persona changes for the camera and he’s a great peaceful non-egotistical wonderful guy behind closed doors so to speak. Hard to tell

[@donslyuckus]

@@Totallysickofonions sona even said on his podcast that many of the young people on the staff use him as a confidant since hes so earnest and such a good listener. judging from the people who work with him, he seems to try to keed genuine people around who are able to keep his ego at check

[@wilberrosales6345]

​@@Totallysickofonions I would like to think that Sona would've left her position years ago if she truly hated Conan. Especially considering that she has been his assistant for 11 years. I'm sure he's truly a nice person who likes to joke a lot

[@ritwikkaushik2342]

@@wilberrosales6345 tbs doesn’t even pay the best salary, if he wasn’t good they could have left their job for a better one long ago

[@stutzstudiowerks]

Gosh, these interviews Conan is doing during COVID19 are probably the best he has ever done. Conan is the KING! He has such a genuine rapport with his guests. You just feel like you are there sitting in his living room. And, Sona cracking up during the interview...priceless!!!

[@osoemparado3958]

Sona always compliments Conan in a funny way. Don't forget, she's been with him in tough times too. Conan didn't have an office in at around 2010, and their team used to talk/discuss in coffee shops. How great the friends they're!

[@osoemparado3958]

Sorry to be so lengthy.. What I mean to say is that she's been with him in difficult times and she has every right to make fun of him with pure love. Meanwhile, Tom Hanks voice is so nostalgic ❤️

[@NoviJimB]

That era of SNL, from maybe 1987 to 1991, was my favorite. And I don't care how good the performers are (and they had a fantastic cast), without those writers the show wouldn't have been anywhere near as good. It's just like music - great musicians are nothing without great songs to play. The writing in that era was as good as it ever was on that show.

[@fischkopf]

Time flies, I remember seeing all these sketches and everyone named live on SNL.

[@gregariousb3974]

Please do more video of the podcast. Especially full episodes, a la Joe Rogan style. You would be surprised how many of us enjoy playing a full episode and listen and occasionally watch while we work. The small segments are nice, but put the whole thing out there. Even if you contractually have to do it a few days after the audio only podcast drops.

[@01anguyen]

We need more of these podcasts on video!!

[@chaithanyadhruvathej7327]

Conan is the best. He should again start doing a new video game review that was actually the best

[@PatrickStarfist]

Its late but they should Last of Us 2. Or Ghost of Tsushima

[@el__2handed]

Even Teddy Roosevelt is wearing a mask.

[@coreytruett9079]

The first thing I saw hahahaha

[@freddytheplatypus826]

*A mask was placed on a bust statue of Teddy Roosevelt for a cheap visual gag Vastly different from what you interpreted

[@DavidSmith-rv2hw]

@@freddytheplatypus826 get outside for some air freddy!

[@daveruda]

Thats gonna trigger the Trumpians and Karens

[@Jon-cs9ik]

Teddy liked to play the tough guy, but he wasn't an idiot. If he saw you without one he'd probably first quietly ask you to put one on and if you didn't... well, you know how the quote goes.

[@timvanboening9432]

I was allowed to watch SNL at WAAAAAY too young of an age, and I remember both these skits! The five-timers club had Paul Simon, Eliot Gould, and Steve Martin!!

[@juandesalgado]

This conversation should be in a museum.

[@JmSantos78]

I finally saw Matt! Nice to see you ''Gourles''!

[@sergioolivera1258]

Conan as a fan dating back to the 90’s please put more videos of your podcast on , your such a great interviewer. It’s such a different dynamic getting to talk to someone for an hour and really having real conversation like you do.

[@andrewpridmore1803]

Just finished the audio pod. Thought they were back in the same room it sounded great

[@poppyseed389]

Just curious, I've never heard the term audio pod before, is that how some places call podcast? I like the sound of it!

[@aarontheperson6867]

@@poppyseed389 I think they called it "audio pod" because they wanted to specify they watched the audio version of the podcast, ie pod. But I agree, I love the sound of it :)

[@ninjalacoon]

I love Tom Hanks. Never a bad movie with Tom Hanks. He is like the vanilla paste of actors but not an off brand. He is like premium vanilla from Haagen-dazs. Rich, smooth, with an old world feel. His name is synonymous with quality. You could name drop him into any famous film in which he never starred and people would have a hard time remembering if he was actually in the movie or not.

[@jessefehr7249]

The Laderkillers and The Da Vinci Code weren't very good movies.

[@debbiedoodiedandi]

It's always a treat when you share clips from the actual podcast. I love seeing you guys work, but I also understand why you may not want to share that with us because you don't want to be self-conscious. But I'm dying to see clips from Ted Danson's visit, because the description of his webcam was hilarious.

[@peteparker22]

Every Keith Richard's story is amazing

[@LIamaLlama554]

Blue Iris yeah Keith’s theory about horses and man was ill-conceived at best.

[@paulajc88]

I like this look Coco! Au naturel. No fluff, letting the bangs hang down, glasses and golf shirt. Feels like seeing You for the first time, and I’m a long time fan 😎

[@3fammy]

I'm still super excited even after listening to the podcast :"D and btw those books in the background tho

[@thesecondislander]

It's weird how conan's haircut during quarantine actually looks way better than his signature pompadour lol

[@sarahchan2759]

I've got to agree with you, but whatever hairstyle it is, it looks amazing.

[@voteZDLR]

That's probably the way he looks when he wakes up, so if that's what we're basing that off of then sure... I guess it looks better.

[@cleverusername9369]

It's just a pompadour that has lost it's structural integrity and is collapsing in on itself like a dying star.

[@loisenolp4746]

This and WTF are my favorite podcast! Conan is the reason I started listening to them.

This episode is epic. Go listen to this full you won't regret. I literally was rolling on the floor.. Tom Hanks is so incredibly funny to the level I never imagined possible ! Especially the part Tom jokes about how he's "one ***k you away" from the people who bother him in public..I died..🤣🤣

You didn't mention Phil Hartman! Maybe the most versatile cast member they had, and my favorite.

[@anonamouse.p4115]

I know this may ge me skewered yet I think Conan suits this longer hair, Change is good.

[@gabriellefagan1014]

At this rate he should keep on growing it until it reaches "hair metal" length, then cut it and donate his gorgeous mane to be made into a wig for some child with cancer, or eaplecia.

[@haze1123]

Conan is better at podcasting than TV. He's relaxed, natural, and real.

[@jerrybender6633]

I think its dated material not released with a lil movie magic on the chit chat deep faked

[@MultiMediaMouth]

Anyone else notice that at 3:15 Sona's microphone isn't plugged in?

[@HrpbTV]

It's a USB mic that look's like has an XLR option as well. Tom in this video is actually using the blue yeti mic in a wrong way. Well, let me rephrase, it's not "wrong" per say. The blue yeti is a side address mic on the cardioid setting. He might've been on a different setting, so I'm not sure what position it was in. But, cardioid would be a much better setting as it will bring in the voice closer, more dynamic/intimate, as well as the ever present "proximity effect" if he was to speak closer into the mic. At which point might make it a little too boomy and pickup a bunch of plosives which no one wants(if that was a person that wants a squeaky clean and balanced recording, which also a lot of radio is not). It does capture more bass frequencies, and that can be a good thing. It's easier to take out than to add bass sometimes. Also if you start with a great recording and technique, sometimes you don't have to edit the audio too much afterwards. As far as I know, Matt does the editing, and he is one dang awesome producer. This video, and the others like it, sound weird because it was just the raw interview recording on the pc. And I do realize that all this doesn't really matter in the greater scheme of things, and most people don't care. So I've really been saying nothing in this short paragraph reply to a 7 month old comment. If you read this, thanks! Stay safe and Have a great day :)

Well, he did have Covid-19 a couple months ago, tends to take a lot of extra weight from people. He does look thinner, and I agree that Conan looks younger here than usual. Probably the thick frame glasses, I think.
