[@JayIsaacsonMusic]

[@philfooglio]

Incredible! I'm actually the guy in the silver shirt. I drove all the way from St.Paul, MN for that show. Still can't believe it happened. The most legendary day of my life!

[@edwardjons8684]

The silver shirt was the perfect tribute to Bowie’s flamboyant costumes. Great choice - you deserved the camera time!

Maybe for one day.

It already was again tomorrow.

[@JeremiahPickardMusic]

Bowie is literally glowing. That is the true mark of a great man.

[@brunobailly7013]

Well... It's also the sign of a low quality video lol. But yes, this man was a great man.

[@blinkybit]

It might also be the cocaine he did before the interview. No, I'm not sure he was still into it at this stage. I feel he probably wasn't. Although everything about his demeanor and sniffles reminds me of that shitty unfortunate phase of my life TBH

Or Trump.

[@r3b3lvegan89]

Death is an illusion and so is your opinion.

[@SolarSailor1967]

Bowie's capitulating smile when Conan asked "Do you mind?" was a comedic home run.

[@reality8605]

Conan is always the best when he has a guest that can hold their own. It's nice to see him go all in.

[@branthomas1621]

David is only one person that i like to watch his interview and i enjoy it so much Miss him 🥺

[@marks1198]

No joke. When I was younger I was a sever for a banquet hall. On new years my table kept calling me David when my name tage said Mark... finally I knew that they were picking on me cause I looked alot like a young David Bowie and have been told this many times before. Before the end of the night I told my table that David was my uncle and that he was a cheap SOB that never came through with his promises of getting me a guitar for Christmas. The one gent asked me to sing a song so I did to his Asian girl friend, China Girl. Everyone got the biggest kick out of it and at the end of the night they gave me $200 in an envelope, saying here's to your guitar and thank you for singing! I'll never forget that night and now after many years I have all the guitars and musical instruments I need. And David was such a huge inspiration for me over the years. Thank you for a legacy that will live on forever!

[@blindkimberly1360]

Our lovely sweet David could literally sing the phone book. We miss you kind sir!

[@sylviayoung6574]

My heart aches and I miss him beyond measure. The Chameleon will live forever!

[@Steveshappylittletrees]

Bowie faked his death. Just like Prince.

[@uscman]

I love the way Conan jokes about random things with Bowie and Bowie plays along with it like how he changed his name and David agreed with how Conan said David Cassidy was his next name.

[@pseudonym5136]

No matter,how old he was,when he died,he left us too soon.

[@alisonkovacs9871]

Olaf rothacker you are right he did leave us too soon

[@Losrandir]

He should have reached 200

[@monkeybusiness1999]

Amazingly good stuff, especially when you watch these clips of David Bowie over & over again & always laugh like it's the first time seeing them. What a sweet & funny guy.

[@timmorin2304]

Great Interview. Bowie was so fucking cool.

[@Daisy-gz8oh]

He still is. He’s not dead

[@lisacalrone3763]

These two vibed so well together... love it!

[@rosemarymills1671]

Nothin' like a Bowie interview. I've seen this one, but not specifically this one. And he and Conan together are really funny. I hope you can dig up some more interviews. They show sides to David you cant see, esp his humor. Only he can get by with goofy humor. And he's self-deprecating which many are to vain to ascribe to.

[@helenvertannes691]

Look up his interviews with Jonathan Ross, they're brilliant

[@RetireesHelpingRetirees]

Wow it's almost disturbing.. He looks great and just a few years later he's gone.. Wow i miss him.. what a masterpiece of a man.. artist... human.. there was only one.. no one will ever come close RIP my ole friend !

[@stovis]

Well, it was actually about 17 years later.

[@artlover1477]

I think they meant performing and public appearances. After the heart attack it was rather sporadic.

[@davewebb2936]

Too cool. I miss him badly.

[@josephgardner5059]

@@Checkmate1138 Letterman got called out years later for having sex with women who were his employees. Conan's joke could've just been a random quip, or maybe he knew what was going on with Letterman, perhaps insinuating that a woman was under the desk, likely performing a sexual act.

So damn handsome and cool. One in a trillion, David Bowie.

[@petermgruhn]

He didn't just "accrue great wealth." He made millions of people happy. He provided millions of people with something, more than one something, that they wanted, that they valued more than some small portion of their own wealth.

I wish we could have seen some of Charlise's reactions to this madness. The 25th riches man in England hawking his merch shamelessly. He's smooth and genuine.

[@droolbunnyxo9565]

It's sweet, how he went from being a quiet subdued young entertainer to a hilarious, clever & endearing conversationalist. His real 15 minutes of Fame 😉 was truly the years just prior to his heart attack. Wish he had never done the dumb things he did in the 70s that caused his health problems. On the other hand, those experiences helped shape his music & revealed the humble & kind man that he was.

[@stevebeckerlcsw3409]

That was one of the great guest spots EVER on late night television.

[@ximepalleiro1224]

Solo un buen entrevistador como O brian pudo sacar lo mejor de este gran hombre y gran artista , que sienta muy relajado y comodo hablando d todo y hasta prestarce a sus juegos. David era muy divertidoo y lo mejor de un artista tan.grande era que el era simpatico y cero egocentrico ...
