[@BrentWigginsWords]

Their roasts of each other could give them a tan.

[@jimgaffigan]

So fun!

[@ryeguyhead]

It showed!

[@rackskrech5621]

This is the funiest part of the interview x D

[@eynchaglobus2694]

Don't fall for it. Might be Philip Seymour Hoffman in a mask again.

[@astrosoup]

You, sir, grew some massive zucchini.

[@Cyndawg03]

Jim, it looks like you are slowly descending into madness as the interview progresses.

[@Apollyon1325]

These interviews, without annoying crowds cheering every second thing, are so good.

[@JourneyOnLife]

Now they are just annoying : )

[@andrewkful]

I kinda miss the sound of crowds reacting though.

[@MrJambot]

Yes

[@FINNSTIGAT0R]

@L E IKR, feels they're having a genuine discussion

[@crocswsocks]

Couldn’t disagree more.

[@patricklopez1799]

This may have gone unnoticed by some, but this is a MASTERPIECE of insult comedy.

[@doctorfritznoel]

It was!

[@commontater8630]

Unrelenting!

[@ImaCatMaia]

Also, a **Masterclass in** 😂 I love it - watching again 3 years later

[@EricAscherVids]

This might be my favorite Conan interview in years. I mean, I was laughing nonstop.

[@JourneyOnLife]

Wow!

[@doctorfritznoel]

👍

[@dhammarosi]

Same here 😀

[@TheEndofThis]

"hold on this is a big phone call"

Wow - these two together, and mostly unedited: what an unbelievable combination of intellect, ingenuity and idiocy. Absolutely awesome!

This won't be edited sounded like a serious threat. You're finished buddy. lol

[@cleverusername9369]

And improv

[@anhjuntura4532]

Yes! Absolutely perfect!

Hehe, the zucchini, it works on so many levels.

Pale Force back at it again 😂

[@JourneyOnLife]

You mean Pale FACE right. Let's not deny their whiteness : )

[@karenelizabeth1590]

I still have my "Pale Force" magnet on my fridge

[@doctorfritznoel]

Their interviews are 👌

[@RailsforTrails]

Gaffigan is so brutal when he wants to be

[@billgatesleavingyamomshous8177]

“I shouldn’t have had a family, I wonder if it’s too late “

[@ginogina4589]

This is the single greatest interview in the history of the world.

[@Applxy354]

Agree. I have watched it like 5 times. It is too funny.

[@grounded.growing.and.glowing]

Their dynamic is so special 😭❤️

[@doctorfritznoel]

Even the way Jim is sitting is funny. Like he's crawling into the screen.

[@mehill00]

I’m from the future and it’s still true! So funny!

[@portugezemonster]

"too similar to doctors withour borders", gaffigan is so good. the jim gaffigan episode on "conan needs a friend" is one of the best.

[@mahlialeilanisaturno9908]

Yes!!! I listen to a lot of podcasts and I can say I’ve re-listened to that episode like ten times because it was so hilarious.

[@spockfofo]

I've prepared my oils and lotions to watch this interview.

[@John_C_J]

The ol' switcheroo.

[@stevej.7926]

The only late night host worth watching. A true comedian's comedian.

[@TheTuubster]

Who thought that shirt was such a comedy gold mine.

[@annatessgonzaga3844]

Not enough guests make fun of Conan. I love this interview, all interviews of Conan with Jim Gaffiigan are hilarious!

[@Maryo123ify]

"Liked eachother for months" haha that laugh caught me off guard

[@taylorroman]

This was pure silliness, and I loved every minute of it.

[@doctorfritznoel]

Them going on and on about "sizzler" was too funny. It was like they were setting up each other's joke.

[@ShadyPinesMa79]

Jerry Seinfeld said Jim's voice is simultaneously high and low. Spot on.

[@RayCarroll67]

My GF asked me what I wanted for my B/Day I said something sleek that goes from Zero to over 100 really fast. She brought me some scales

[@JohnSmith-if3sn]

This is the funniest thing I've seen all week.

[@wm1pyro]

I would watch a Conan and Jim "Road to Morocco" movie

[@eynchaglobus2694]

That is not a bad idea. btw wasn't Conan going to do a Morocco episode with Gad Elmaleh?

[@lynnturman8157]

I'd like to see them do some Eugene O'Neal

[@lindagnat-mullin8108]

Conan has enough references to the past that he would probably be flawless in the part!!!

[@Lawman212]

If this show isn't peak Coronavirus aesthetic, I don't know what would be.

[@manofiske3318]

"dismal Coronavirus hysterics" eventual mortality rate = < 0.4% That's right so, let's "quarantine" LOCK-DOWN, close off avenues for recreation and exercise, sever social connections, destroy the financial life and mandate filthy , germ-ridden masks be worn to limit exposure to life giving oxygen and solar rays for the healthiest , least vulnerable, most productive segment of the populace while not issuing a simple, straight-forward advisory to the truly at risk population to self-isolate, etc.. These two dummies contributing to the irrationally driven "narrative" that some real threat exists to the general population and that all of these measures to "protect" us and "save lives" are warranted. Was sick, tyarnt Newsom lowering flags to half-mast for any of the unfortunate , estimated 80,000 to 100,000 "victims" of influenza that, in the U.S. alone, perished during the 2017-18 "flu season"? Shall we reduce the maximum speed limit on the nation's roadways to 25 MPH in order to save a good portion of the upwards of 40,000 lives lost every year in this country on those very same roads ? DON YOUR MORON MASKS, YOU FOOLS,. CONTINUE YOUR IMBECILIC "SOCIAL DISTANCING" AND OVER-SANITIZING EFFORTS WHILE UNWITTINGLY PROLONGING THE LIFE OF A VIRUS THAT ONLY "DESIRES" TO INFECT AS MANY HEALTHY HOSTS AS POSSIBLE AND THEN BURN OUT IF YOU'D JUST LET IT BE, FOR GOD'S SAKE, MAN. HOW DUMBED-DOWN HAS THE HUMAN SPECIES BECOME?

[@tinockovietea2470]

This term is awesome: peak corona aesthetic. It will be studied like "art noveau" or "surrealism". I agree. I laughed throughout and was filled with goodwill and the props, background, lazy escalator--loved all of it!!!

[@captainkev10]

I just love Jim mentioning Pale Force, at the end.

[@jocosus3]

10:23 "[John Malkovich] He's brilliant...he's the one I wish I was talking to" - Conan O'Brien to Jim Gaffigan LMAO! I

[@danielariveros1]

If you haven’t heard Jim Gaffigan on Conan’s podcast you are missing out on the funniest 30 mins ever recorded !

[@RyanJames-iv3qu]

Nope.

[@richardvinsen2385]

Wasn’t it an hour?

[@bookbwitched466]

🌱Thank you for the tip! On my way now.

[@mbradley15]

Agreed. It’s one of my favorite episodes.

[@Orangeflava]

How do we find this netcast?

[@Leo-sd3jt]

This is how fever dreams feel like.

[@mahlialeilanisaturno9908]

Lol that’s how I felt watching his interview with Russell brand like two months ago

[@katierojas8066]

They are being so passive aggressive towards each other

[@badmamjamma]

Agreed. Fits 2020 aesthetic perfectly, right? 😁

[@peterl.104]

Katie Rojas It’s okay since they have known each other for 65 years.

[@TheTarrMan]

This was the realest interview with a stand up comedian I've ever seen. Normally stand up comedians just start talking to the host in a way where they can say the same material they're going to say if you actually saw their show. This was not that. . . . . . . . . or maybe it was.

[@dreamyjeannie3385]

TheTarrMan , Jim’s the real deal. Watch Dinner with the Gaffigans, he’s a cool dad and sweet husband, so normal and likable.

[@krs4607]

I've seen him do his stand-up material is various interviews. This was off the cuff funny.

[@henrysmith9725]

Jim Gaffigan’s about as real as you get; he’s literally been broadcasting his dinnertime with his family of 5 for the past 3 months so he’s got nothing left to hide (also, he makes videos with his two youngest sons, which are actually quite fun). He’s also good friends with Conan, so there’s really not much PR to worry about.

[@kinnyg27]

Ever heard of Theo Von? 🤣

[@TheTuubster]

Dude, you have no idea. Gaffigan's stage standup shows are mostly him having "phone calls" on Zucchinis, talking about how the audience sucks. It's annoying.

[@Leftyotism]

I like these interviews best uncut. All praise the internet, where there is no "air time".

[@amdenizen417]

21:24 Conan's face. lol He's just too cute!

[@brandonhallberg9054]

The title of this interview should be "Pale Man Gets Roasted by Paler Man but Pale Man Stays Pale Because He's Pale"

[@bluezzbastardzz]

I was hoping for the zucchini phone to ring and John Malkovich was on the line, so Jim had to end the interview.

[@abrohamproductions8263]

This whole interaction is hilarious! Lol

[@bookbwitched466]

😂In My Opinion, one of the BEST interviews ever~obvious respect, connection, shows in the ease of which they interact. Funny as hell, playing the straight man for each other, eager to hear the next line, fully present rather than working on their own come back, a delicious Dance Of Joy, loved/saved/shared. Seriously loving this format. Please don't go back!😅

[@JourneyOnLife]

Yes stay quarantined for EVER! HAHA! And they are Still quarantined? Do they know if they stay inside it will make them even MORE White?!!! Lol.

[@RayCarroll67]

Jim's far too modest about his Drive Through Comedy Shows, he checks your oil and water for you too.

[@badmamjamma]

The sillyness was so pure. I laughed so much. Thank you, both!

[@monstdnt]

Hahaha, this interview is so Raw, as in dead air, jabs at each other, slow pace, unedited. Love it! Plus they have great awkward chemistry that's appealing!

[@cvframer]

That sizzler bit was the most brilliant ad campaign. These fellas took me back to 1991 after church in the back seat with my brothers

[@jekyll999]

Gaffigan could do a Truman Capote impression with no problem. I’m sure of it.

[@Tom-yd1ur]

The funniest interview of 2020. 8th grade called, they want their shirt back. It needed to be said, sorry Coco. And Conan's reaction to Jim's suberb Malkovich impression, priceless.

[@HaleXF11]

Jim is absolutely slaying. Thank you for this.

[@livewiiiiire]

I laughed all the way through this interview, I'm so glad I clicked, haha

[@sabinawoods5134]

Love the “big” phone call 😂😂😂😂😂😂

[@sarsattacks]

Why haven't these two make a movie together... srsly, this is overdue.

[@lynnturman8157]

Maybe because Conan isn't an actor?

[@sarsattacks]

@@lynnturman8157 He's done skits and TV shows.

[@letimoore]

Me 2.. Doesn't even have to curse

[@andrewkful]

This is the most casual, small-talk interview i ever seen. :D

[@jocelynjohnston8257]

What a wonderful treat to see two of my favourite comedians since childhood have an off-the-cuff conversation for half an hour, uninterrupted by a howling audience or commercials.

[@rackskrech5621]

Very funny interview guys love the banter. Also yay more gaffigan movies. U should do some sketches toguether for fun cos u guys are awsome toguether.

[@ARandomStan]

Nah i feel both of them are exceptional at improv and a sketch wouldn't have the same funny to it

[@vanmoody]

If I was Jim I would have said, "Nobody in electric cars laugh. I don't want them there".

[@uterusjones]

Hope Conan can get Bill Hader back on again sometime soon. I'd love another full interview with the two of them, they were great together on the podcast!

[@themarkl0813]

Those 3 together would be Awesome. Who would make the 4th pale brother? Hmm..

I'm listening to this while working on my computer, and my brain went: I never realized Jim Gaffigan sounds like John Malkovich. And then Conan says the exact same thing.

This was an absolute delight !🤣🤣🤣You guys need a regular show. What a riot !!!!

[@adamc1839]
