Don King on Conan: Addicted to the Testicles (1997-01-03)

Conan interviews Don King on January 3rd, 1997. Apparently, Andrew Golota is addicted to the testicles. Only in America!

[@ilikevines]

King manipulates people by giving them over the top compliments and getting them to like/trust him...scary stuff

Robert King Average lawyer or member of Congress

[@creekalmighty]

yeah i'vee noticed when he was saying 'america, the greatest nation in the world' - sure it's the greatest nation when he gets money practically for nothing and it's millions of dollars ;)

[@creekalmighty]

they even said that later. i don't know if it makes america so great but ok. maybe for some.

[@thisislaflaretv5250]

That's genius if you ask me

[@MouAresounTaPneusta]

He seems to go for quantity not quality.

[@themcadamsminute8494]

Regardless of what you think of him, Don King is a legend and speaks with charisma and a vocal elegance that will be never be matched.

Gregory McAdams Conan tried his best to make Don King look bad, but it backfired

[@matthewsmith7545]

That's funny!!!

[@TomHuston43]

King is amoral and SCHMART! Could His IQ be 150?

This interview is incredible. Extraordinary moments from a by gone era.

[@WeGetItOutTheMudTv]

As much as Conan tried to make Don King look bad, it didn’t work. Don King just showed you how sharp he is

[@leewalsh877]

Famous trial prosecutor thomas puccio said king was the smartest man he ever cross examined by far

[@sharmindecruz9757]

I believe it

[@popcrnshower]

its funny how conan is still the same, i love that guy

[@patrickgray5633]

Mike Francesca & Chris Russo said “Hardest interview was Don King you couldn’t get back into the interview he knew more words then anyone that lived he never took a breath.” Lol

[@cefimssoas9830]

Him a genius

[@MrGangstNerd]

Conan was impeccable here, was able to resist the kiss-ass onslaught of Don King while still getting in his subtle digs.

[@Adammobp]

Thanks for upload!

[@jdoro63]

In the U.S., yes, you're right - and also for quitting against Mike Tyson. However, in his homeland, Golota's claim to fame is being the first Polish heavyweight to challenge for a world title. He carried the hopes of an entire nation on his shoulders when he fought Lewis for the WBC title in '97 -- and the pressure of that partially may explain his loss 95 sec. into round 1. The injection of lidocaine very shortly before the bout is the other culprit, IMO.

[@douglaspinsak1246]

Don King is a really smart guy.

[@AndrewsOpinion15]

happy 84th birthday don king !!!!!!

[@Lavern4101]

I always thought a prime '90s version of Golota would have given Lewis a great war had he showed up with the same confidence he did against Bowe. It's really too bad he could not handle the pressure and took the lidocaine shot. Golota could have dominated for years had he just been able to handle pressure.

[@IblewuponyourfaceIII]

It wasn’t necessarily the pressure, Golota was drugged in that fight with Lewis. Proven by Medical records. Golota won the lawsuit for $1 Million. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lennox_Lewis_vs._Andrew_Golota

[@jdoro63]

Golota already feels the effetcts of pressure before a fight, and then inject him with a shot that may cause dizziness - that's like adding fuel to a fire.

[@bwaters735]

Conan is way underrated

My father was don king look alike contest, I like don king he did help save that hospital forest city hospital. We have to look beyond the looks and the way people act, we just have to learn to forgive keep it moving.

[@Stervtheliv]

Conan handled him with irony and comedy

[@WeGetItOutTheMudTv]

Stervtheliv Don King handled him him like the child he was acting like

[@bwaters735]

Don king scares me. I feel like he could flip on a dime.

[@BuppyJam]

Thanks for this. Are you gonna upload the Janeane interview as well?.

[@sharkhunt9476]

Don Kings laugh @ 2:27 🤣😂🤣

[@Supreme-gu1jz]

There is another appearance that don king had on Conan. Can't find it anywhere anymore but it was better than this one.

[@Mourinho335]

What year was that?

[@Supreme-gu1jz]

@@Mourinho335 not sure what year but don at the time was managing Bruce Sheldon and he came on the show with him.

[@humblejumpify]

Don King plays a double-role. He acts like a phony jack ass so you can clown him but it's all an act to defer ant attention to his cunning business dealings. He really is the most successful promoter of all times.

[@jojodancer5378]

humblejumpify He would easily have made Mayweather/Pacquiao 6 years ago in their primes.

[@humblejumpify]

Absolutely

[@WeGetItOutTheMudTv]

Smh King is charismatic as they come, many hate that

[@carl1095]

Was Conan's hair less red back then.

[@randomquentin]

I think it’s just the tape

[@jdoro63]

So from what you heard Golota took the lidocaine shot because of feeling mental pressure leading up to the fight? I thought he took the shot solely for his achy knee. Which is it? Yeah, he would have dominated if it wasn't for the mental instability, and I think even the 2004 (past prime) version of Golota from the Byrd and Ruiz bouts could have beaten both Vitali and Wladimir at the time.

[@flipflop4396]

this is the last fight that Don promoted Mike..

[@jdoro63]

I meant only in that year 2004 specifically, when he seemed to have that comeback firepower, but it still would have been tough, although Wlad was has a weak chin. On another note, how do you think Golota would have fared against Tua and Ibeabuchi had he fought those men? It would have been so interesting to see him fight both of those guys in the 90s. Both Golota-Tua and Golota- Ibeabuchi would have been a hell of a fight!

[@01Volume]

How tall and heavy was don king

[@Lavern4101]

No, his claim to fame is beating the crap out of Bowe then getting DQed for low blows twice. That and the riot and MSG.

[@LateNightWithConanOBrienVideos]

I didn't think her appearance was that great - she mostly read points off a piece of paper and didn't interact with Conan much (it was part of her bit, but I didn't find it that funny). As a result, their chemistry was lacking. If you really want to see it, I can upload it.

[@bitchsaywhat1139]

Late Night With Conan O'Brien I wanna see it

[@virus2003]

He's probably carrying the shillelagh because he expects to be jumped.

[@Lavern4101]

No I believe he took the shot due to a knee injury but I dont know how much the shot contributed to his bad performance. Was it more the lidocaine shot or the pressure or a combination of both that made him start so slow against Lewis? I say probably both. You think the 2004 version of Golota would have beaten both Klitschkos?? I strongly disagree. Look what Wlad did to Byrd in both fights, Golota only scored a draw. I think Golota could have KOed Wlad in the 90s but could never beat Vitali

[@BuppyJam]

I would appreciate it, if you don't mind. Thanks in advance.
