Met and served Conan, his wife and his boy at a bar I worked at a hotel in London. We got plenty of celebrities through, but none really struck me the way Conan did, I grew up watching his show. He noticed that I was kind of lost for words and I told him how much I adored him and his work. He couldn't have been sweeter, despite being with his family just enjoying dinner and a few drinks, yet both him and his wife were so warm and friendly. Felt like he was more interested in me than I was in him, which was really unexpected. Conan deserves all the flowers. Truly a man of the people.

[@scottystcloud7086]

I love stories like this. Years ago I worked in PR and heard stories from limo drivers (who I knew really well as we were constantly booking cars for celebs to go to junkets, premieres, awards shows, etc). Word has it, George Clooney was notorious for bringing a plate of food out to his drivers when he was at premieres/parties knowing they had to wait for him until he was ready to leave. Never broadcasted it or was filmed doing it, that is good karma man.

Soo true

[@KrillData145]

And now it's a show on Max

[@billyeveryteen7328]

Both Conan and his good friend and former head writer Robert Smigel have talked about how they wanted to try their best to do "evergreen" comedy. Most comedy has a shelf life, and if you're doing topical humor, that shelf life is even shorter. But Conan's remotes are still as funny now as they were 20 years ago. Conan playing old-timey baseball, or Conan going to the Lincoln museum, those will still be funny 20 years from now. I mean no disrespect to either Seth Meyers or Stephen Colbert, I think they have wonderful writers and they're great performers, but there's little to no reason to go back and watch their late night clips even a week later.

Conan has so many things in common with Robin Williams. He’s way more restrained and mannered in his approach, but then those bursts of manic hilarity just emerge, and he’s standing and moving around and dominating the space. Not saying they’re at all the same or making any comparison in their legend (Robin will always be in a realm of his own), but the other important piece that connects them is their genuine goodness. For both, actors and comedians love them, and you hear nothing but amazing stories from the general public about how kind and genuine they were during encounters in the real world. I hope Conan still has decades left, but whenever he passes, he will undoubtedly live on as a legend in his own right, and we’ll have all these amazing clips and stories to celebrate the great and hilarious person he is. You’re a good man, Conan O’Brien.

@@Belvedere1981god, so true. Anyone watching this would be insane to not to think “why isn’t HE behind the desk?”

[@Johnsonsvideos]

Conan is one of the funniest natural comedians I've seen. Interviews and without scripts seemingly he shines. That's a rare talent

[@jirehpsalmpaule6077]

He’s 1 of 1, and I’m not exaggerating. He’s such a force to be reckoned with.

[@JonnyDIY]

🤣 that TSA selfie story! 💕👏👍🤳

[@ikejugend]

Fallon, Hot Ones, HBO, CNN - Conan is everywhere these days, and I can’t be happier about it ❤

[@jessicabecause3717]

He's on a marketing tour, genius.

[@Suplyndmnd]

He has a new show coming to HBOMax in a few days so he's just making the publicity rounds. It's him traveling the world kind of show which was always really fun to watch so I'm super excited about it. Hopefully Jordan accompanies him everywhere.

[@ikejugend]

@@jessicabecause3717I know, and I’m so happy about it!

[@YodatheHobbit]

You say "these days" as if he's been making appearances for a while and it's not promotion week for his new show and he's mysteriously on tv just for fun.

[@vergeltapispisan1849]

Conan is soooo sharp with ideas or with memories, he remembers everything.

[@kuberang1222]

Seeing Conan and Jimmy side by side just tells a lot about humor and the difference of level in their comedy.

[@purusharthagarwal4096]

Conan is the absolute GOAT he's such an inspiration. He makes everybody around him a part of himself..so Inclusive.

[@Jackybug]

Jimmy’s completely outclassed.

[@Nick_ETH]

Maybe true, but I have never liked him more than I do in this video. He is so silent and laughing at the right times. I love Conan so much it overpowers my PRIMAL HATE for the jimster

[@123userthatsme]

He took too many notes from his idol Stew Smitchel

the way he owns the space is amazing, he even comments on The Roots at 1:46 😂

[@JohnDoe-jh5yr]

Very rarely do late night episodes give me a belly laugh anymore. Conan is truly one of a kind. Wish he was still on.

[@luvallluvyrself]

Conan's repartee is unmatched. After a certain time, you simply give in and enjoy the show

[@adallday9627]

Having conan and Fallon on the same stage shows just how much better Conan is as a character and a host

[@nicholasgarrick8855]

I been fan of conan for year seeing him return warm my heart my love for him just continue to grow he has best personality in the biz period.

[@kvans1567]

Been watching Consey since the 90's and I can never get enough! Saw him live when he did his first tour and he's such a true comic and so very on point. His delivery is the best

[@kenglin13]

I miss Conan so much wow… didn’t realize it til watching this

[@jeremymcinturff985]

I am sad they edited it for KZbin, but shoutout to The Roots for playing Conan's "Late Night" theme song as he was walking out.

[@zoso8818]

Conan killed it! Jimmy's fake laugh every 5 seconds is brutal

No those were actual genuine uncontrollable laughs cause Conan keeps being bombastic, Jimmy loves it

[@har71277]

Conan’s remotes especially the ones with his staff and clueless gamer are two of my favourite things to watch on KZbin

[@lilsebastian2209]

Take a look, in the first conan intervention, when he walks to show how he greets short guests, how he didnt went to Jimmy's area in the back to not brake the host-guest dynamic. Such a gentleman

[@Crazydude2116]

The muppet pipe joke. See how QUICKLY he came up with that. That is so good. I think because conan is quite a busy man, he can't come to rehearsal, so i can only assume its all on the spot. Amazing.

[@bfaint4363]

I didn't understand Conan's humor when i was younger but looking back, he was the absolute best. NBC shafted him big time

[@NicKeLas]

You either die a late night host or live long enough to become a late night guest. And, obviously, Conan is killing it as both, so good for him and good for us!

[@markbond7314]

I love this man. Love love love love him.

[@AuntieLydiaG]

The fact that Conan said "membered" instead of remembered TWICE makes me love him even more

[@Ktcsr17]

I’ve been a Conan fan for a couple decades now. He deserved the tonight show. But I’m so happy for him and his staff and his family. He really proved who he was during that time. And in my opinion, he will go down with Dave as the greatest of all time. ❤

[@TonyNguyen-uc9mh]

@Ktcsr17 Conan was not very cooperative during his time as "The Tonight Show" host. For example, he assured all the NBC executives that he'd tailor his material to the 11:35pm audience, then admitted he had no intention of changing a thing. He was also reluctant to take their suggestions. They wanted him to go into the audience more, which he did for a while...and then skipped it. The network thought he should have the biggest stars early in his run to attract the new 11:35pm audience, but by week 2 he booked his favorite, Norm MacDonald. A funny guy to be sure, but Norm's was more of a niche appeal. When the ratings were dropping, NBC wanted him to book Sarah Palin to get a ratings boost. Conan refused. He was afraid Dave Letterman wouldn't like that. Conan's getting crushed in the ratings. The network that made his dream of hosting "TTS" come true is losing money, and he won't book a hot guest because he's afraid to offend his biggest competitor. Every talk show host had a time slot guarantee written into their contract- except Conan. If he hadn't neglected to get this, the network would not have been able to insist he move to 12:05am. At the time he signed the deal with NBC to drop Jay at the end of his contract so he could take over "The Tonight Show," Conan was getting huge offers from ABC and FOX to do a show of his own at that earlier hour. The FOX offer came with a salary that was almost double what NBC was going to pay him to wait 5 years. If he'd gone to one of those competing networks when they were so anxious to have him, nobody would've had to lose their job over it, and "The Tonight Show" debacle could've been averted.

[@toyotaboyhatman]

conan is so underrated, wished I had watched his talk show more in his prime. really been enjoying his podcast.

[@christopherporter2459]

Yeah you have no idea what underrated is. He's clearly loved and highly rated.

[@dannypockets]

He’s one of the most beloved and influential comedians of all time.

[@jasonjohnson4803]

Conan is not underrated! (respectfully) you're crazy to even say such a thing.

Underrated????? Come on

[@TommyHarkin]

Conan is in his prime now. Check out the podcast

[@kyledotcom]

Conan is the funniest late night host there will ever be. Thank god for KZbin I can watch all his material whenever I want.

[@Dev-fo7oi]

The longer he sits there, the more uncomfortable he makes Jay

[@chriskay1449]

LOL Jay doesn't care. Jay lives in your head rent free. Coco's sheep still bitter.

the crazy thing is that even when crouching down, conan is still tall af

[@Frank.E.Valley]

when he stood up it made the entire set look like a scaled down miniature

[@RickDawg527]

What's even more crazy is I'm the same height as him and don't feel like a giant. Guess if I was walking around short actors and actresses I'd feel that way. Haha

[@capribreezee]

Conan is so quick and witty, watching him work is incredible. You can see his gears turning and coming up with content in milliseconds

[@tomer_stern]

That selfie story was hillarious. Plus, Conan is certainly bigger than the tonight show. Love him.

[@revskr20s]

I am from India and I think I have only watched complete youtube clips, from start to end, of only one late night show which was the Conan show on TBS. I have watched each and every clip available on Conan's youtube channel 😊

[@Dan-Simms]

Loved his late night show, I sure miss it.

[@StewChicken42]

Conan is INDEED, LITERALLY, *I C O N I C !!* Can't wait to see him travel the World. The best US Ambassador, no doubt. Check his handling of the real life situation in Haiti when people were LESS THAN ENTHUSED he was there 😉 #LEGEND
