Conan Used To Throw Harvard Lampoon Parties | Conan O'Brien Needs A Friend

[@AshleySmithh]

“Nobody is tracking you in the way you think that they are” this is such a helpful reminder, THANK YOUUU

[@craigjgomez]

Especially because people are dealing with their own lives and challenges that are all consuming. The day that I have the time to care about what's going on in Conan O'Brien's life will be the day they bury me. So yes, not only is nobody tracking you but also, some of us get a little tired of hearing Conan go on and on about how great he is. In truth, I wish him and his family all the best in health and success but beyond that, I really don't give a s**t.

this was the day he was buried@@craigjgomez

[@zainacam]

That is something I'm struggling with, I really needed that reminder.

[@Matt-vv7fl]

This is so much of a better format for Conan to really connect with his guests. They could never have such spontaneous organic conversations within the constraints of a live TV show.

[@cthayes2008]

talk shows could be more like podcasts if they didn't have to sell ads. just saying.

[@PaperHamburgers]

These lampoon stories are nuggets of pure gold

[@sicilianchiangchang7320]

Yeah? What happened to this scholarships stuff ever?

[@EtoCobra]

I laugh every time when I listen to that story about Conan tricking Bill Cosby into getting a fictitious award at Harvard.

[@frostpond]

The parties were even better… 😂😂😂

[@PhilMachi]

This was such a great episode! That story about being out of work as a creative and wondering if things will work out is so real and relatable. I love those very honest and sincere moments from Conan.

[@sylwiakowalczyk3270]

No it’s not. They live in manchions with 5 swimming pools and 75 bathrooms. I live in 4 room apartment and struggle to pay for electricity many times. It’s not the same and it’s not relatable.

[@sloth0jr]

These long-form conversations to me are much more compelling than late show format.

[@bernlin2000]

Conan is such an incredible storyteller, I'm riveted!

Conan seems to come from an accomplished family, yet he has a way of relating to most people. I liked how he began his story about stretching his breakfast as he was deciding what to do with his day, his career and the path he would ultimately take. He’s witty, funny and humble!!

[@radiant97_]

Matt's "You got it baby" always gets me.

[@jts04]

i seriously think there should be a documentary of conans life. narrated by conan with someone playing him where real footage is missing. it’s such an amazing story and so inspirational to anyone creative

Oh dear Conan, you are such a nerd .... made me chuckle, keep em comin'

[@lous111]

When Lizzy Caplan and Conan O'Brien get together to discuss things, it leads to great discussions, and this is one of these great discussions.

[@DigitalJeremy]

I'm really enjoying these podcasts!! Conan isn't limted by producers, advertisers...in short, RULES. A fantastic host turned loose. Love it.

[@dengueberries]

This is Conan's best show ever. I was going to say that I wish he'd done this much earlier, but I think you probably must have had a certain anmount of life experience in the talk show/late night host game before having the depth of insight and connections he has currently to be able to have in-depth conversations like these -- but interlaced with the Conan style of comedy.

[@sicilianchiangchang7320]

Is interlaced that they're doing the show because somebody said it on Kor TV with a Costco dude saying he's paying every 16 year Old's cheek para para and scholarships.

[@gabesoto9301]

love the podcast and how real the conversations are but i will say, i really miss the remotes and all of the stuff he did with his employees in the office. that was GOLD

[@erintheokay]

My husband and I still bring up "The Class." There were so many incredible actors on that show and it was so smart. It's shocking it lasted only a season.

[@beanzburriton4263]

I LOVE THIS PODCAST. it is the best ever. it's the only podcast i listen to. i do wish you released full episodes on youtube tho. maybe someday

[@edfagan4251]

Tainted Love and Safety Dance are good if you're in the mood for them!

[@fischkopf]

Conan bringing up Telly Savalas in the Playboy Mansion orgy - had me lmao.

[@timaging]

Love Lizzy Caplan and I really love the chemistry you 2 have. The stories and the manner in which you talk keeps me engaged. I also worked above Cardullos for several years in the 90s, and walked by the lampoon building quite often. Cool little spot!

[@misterguy9002]

Goodness, Lizzie is just so beautiful, and so intelligent and strong. 😅

[@1981bevo]

[@justtwobrotherspokemon]

Better than any late night talk show by a Mile

[@Rambam1776]

To Conan’s staff - Let me admit something embarrassing. I had NO IDEA who this guest was, and had to scroll down through the comments to find out, and THEN I had to Google her because I was unfamiliar with her work. Could you please be sure to place the name of the guest in either the title or the description? This happens more often than you may think.

[@checkthestache]

The irony that you didn't mention Lizzy Caplan in your comment is a wonderful undertone. I'm here a year later 😃

[@Seabeams]

7:08 10:15 he might disparage the music of the 80s but you can see that he really enjoys grooving to it.

[@InfamousDominion]

There’s something almost therapeutic about individuals who talk TO each other as opposed to talking AT each other that gives I believe #Podcast an advantage. There’s no sign of people trying to sell you something.

[@Fire_Marshall_Bill]

I would love to see Eddie play Conan though. Would be fantastic 😂

[@fisch723]

Always liked her but I never knew she was so damn (and naturally) funny.

[@ericwatts-et2nl]

"Interesting hashbrowns?" Kudos Matt

[@davidbetancourt4028]

While I liked Conan's show, I like him more on these podcasts. You see more of who he really is. He's an interesting guy who's lead an interesting life. He's obv also really good at interviewing guests in a way he could never do on traditional late night. I also like the fact that Sona is his 'partner'. She's great when she butts in and provides commentary. Wish she did it more, but still glad she's on the podcast. She was always great when she appeared on his late night. She felt like the non-crazy part of Conan, the down-to-earth aspect of his _over-the-top_ show, especially when she poked fun at Conan, heh heh.

[@bender75]

I love how truly a global response is to someone who does not or did not drink (alcohol). I grew up in a family where we had alcohol up on a shelf for guests. I very rarely saw my parents have a glass of wine for example and I know my father drank once or twice a year when he went to a party with his friends or if they went together with my mom. I personally just don't like the taste. I tried various types of drinks as a teenager, but nothing made me want to take a second sip. When I was 22 I finally decided I need to get drunk to go through the experience and it was nothing special. After crawling to the bathroom to vomit, followed by a good night's sleep, I had no desire to try again. I have nothing against responsible drinking, but that's just not for me.

[@blistabliss]

That's partially luck. Genetic predisposition to alcoholism is a real thing for some.

[@kennetho2499]

[@derkaiserzen]

or Matt Smith lol

[@plaws0]

I was never a big Conan fan even if I was pissed that he got screwed, like what? 17 times out of the Tonight Show? but I like him. And I don't know Ms Caplan at all (thanks to the commenter that put her name here) .. But then holy cow, this was SO entertaining. Part of it is because I worked in Cambridge a couple years after Mr O'Brien graduated so mental imagery is easy and helps. But yep, I hit that subscribe button.

[@dlxmarks]

I've been hearing Tainted Love my whole life and didn't know until today that it was recorded by Soft Cell, a band I'd never heard of. I always assumed it was from one of the other better known 80s British groups.

[@jessicawysocki7844]

I love this lady... she should be getting more work she is darling. I forgot because I am old enough to have done the mean girls thing when it came out but ya my 15 year old neice cant stop obsessing over this movie, I found it odd too but it is a great movie

*raises hand* Short lived, but not unloved. In retrospect, it had a ridiculously talented cast: Jon Bernthal, Jesse Tyler Ferguson, Jason Ritter, Andrea Anders. All future stars destined for greatness when the show launched and tanked in 2006.

[@stremendous73]

I have watched it through several times, and I was devastated when it was canceled. So disappointing. It has been great to see each actor have success in other shows.

Sure as hell, no single celebrity has so many people loving their essence. And I´m not talking about that silly "OMG I STAN" apotheosis BS that it's so common in comments section but the genuine "he really is a great guy" feel that we get from Conan. I am so glad I found him so many years ago and that I have seen him evolve (and his staff) throughout the years. Such an inspirational guy.

[@ZachsMind]

The first three minutes or so of this video remind me of tales about actors who wouldn't want to do television in the early days of television because they were stage actors and it would harm their reputation if they demeaned themselves by falling to that level, but it's a paycheck. Do it cuz they'll pay you and The Play's The Thing anyway. Doesn't matter what medium it is. Conan admitting this podcast was his friends' idea and he's like, "but I do television!" Then he realizes doing a podcast with friends is just fun. *shrug*
