BRING BACK SERIOUS JIBBER-JABBER

[@gowthamsiddarth20]

Now he has a podcast...

[@emmachoplin6761]

His podcast Conan needs a friend is amazing

[@keepplayingnice]

This is one of the best interviews I've seen in my life .. everything from comedy writing to Steve Martin to jim carrey and cable guy. Apatow is such an interesting guy

[@sulin5505]

Karthik Nair 啊唉

[@HrishikeshMukherjeeFan]

I wonder if Judd will look at this "Apatow is such an interesting guy" and react the same way as Al Brooks kzbin.info/www/bejne/qWXLhp1tasiGaac

[@MiguelJuanez]

I know. Let's not take it for granted. Keep sharing it with your crew!

[@Will19058220]

This was a lot of fun to watch. I've heard Conan talk about comedy before, he's serious about it and that definitely comes through. My favorite parts, however, are when Conan lets his guard down a little bit and the conversation goes from something you might see on his show to a real conversation between two funny, successful comedy craftsmen. Taking out the audience and live recording creates a real intimate feel. This kind of conversation, in depth and more loose, is a real pleasure.

[@user-yg6tf6dk3w]

❤

[@Bullpup2]

1:04:04, "you know, I'm dead inside, like you" woah, zero chill

[@Indigocell]

If you kind of squint at the screen, it looks like Conan is just a floating head with disembodied hands.

[@brackobalm6457]

hahah thank you

[@rommlll]

i like this comment a lot

[@gowthamsiddarth20]

Amazing observation, and a very accurate one at that

[@bahiya94]

😂

[@jontattum1476]

Holy shit. This is one of the most amazing discussions i've ever seen. Totally assumed it would just be another interview with a star about his films. It's intensely personal as well as informative and hilarious. Thanks for posting!

[@LiberalLu]

Truly the best, most insightful interview I have seen in a long time. I love it when it's just an intimate conversation about the person and their experiences. Thank you Conan. This made my day.

[@Daniel-tv4se]

It's my birthday today and finding "Serious Jibber-Jabber" is the best present ever!

[@bfgivmfith]

I just discovered it. Happy belated Birthday! :)

[@therealcriscodisco]

Judd Apatow is so real and refreshing

[@jonlesliehaynes]

yes but who are you comparing him with?

[@Yaser-ih2cx]

bluhousworker Is a comparison really necessary?

[@kasparcrane5768]

bluhousworker humans?

[@mnjones92]

Please keep on doing these Conan, I like that you're stepping outside the normal format of your show.

[@blackmarketlightbulbs6321]

I missed your NBC career, for whatever reason.. (sorry) But I found you online. Your Team-Cocos are SO GOOOD! what comedy USED to be... really, really funny! Thanks for the medicinal laughs! :D

[@theentirepopulationofsyria]

I've been watching Conan clips for about 3 years now and I just discovered this jibber jabber thing what the hell thanks KZbin for the recommendation.

[@certainstrength]

Can we get Louis CK on Serious Jibber Jabber?

[@aprilschoening966]

Oh I would pay money to see him on this show with Conan post 2017! Conan would humiliate him

[@certainstrength]

@@aprilschoening966 humiliate Louis CK? Why?

[@JeweleryPalace]

Judd and Conan are just amazing.

[@levimon]

PLEASE DO MORE OF THESE -- THIS WAS A GREAT INTERVIEW! thanks, conan!

[@Loeffellux]

I really hope there will be a lot more of these!

[@freshpulp112]

I cannot believe Conan is older than Judd Apatow

[@briansimerl9027]

Apatow should make the new Ghostbusters with his friends. Let's get real, it's the first, best option for a remake.

[@justjoe233]

Brian Simerl lol

[@reesespeanutbuttercups7584]

you're the worst prophet ever

[@lessofgary4488]

such an insightful interview. the part about "1/3 is my on life, 1/3 is observations, and 1/3 is making it up" -- very true about art in a lot of places. also, the whole thing about "is comedy a shield/protection as a way to express your feelings?"

[@kukohumor7608]

Oh this is awesome. I love it when conan is talking to other writhers and comedians on this level

[@unreliablemc]

Wow. Really like this and looking forward to the other three. I hope Conan does more.

[@The0IdMan]

Amazing stuff. I love intimate interviews like this.

[@jonlesliehaynes]

I loved this interview.

[@theOnlineAuthor]

This was amazing. Thank you guys.

[@ThinkscapeVideo]

Great interview! Keep them coming.

[@baconmasterXD]

Conan please do much more Jibber Jabber. This is truly a thought provoking and worth while show.

[@nicolasjrinear]

This is amazing, great job Conan!

[@mazerfaka]

Please do more of these!!

[@Rob_Kates]

This is fascinating. I love to hear them talk about Airplane, also Conan discussing The Simpson's writing room. Just imagine being a fly on the wall there.

[@CanadAce]

I liked that, it's a really fascinating way of doing things and felt more candid and interesting then usual. I obviously like Conan's regular comedy and stuff as well but this is a nice change of pace and I'd like to see more like this with different people being interviewed!

[@puupipo]

Sooooo good! Thank you, Conan and greetings from Finland!

[@Benjabola]

how did i not know conan was doing free podcasts?

[@Urbandrone]

Great interview!

[@psycold]

Fantastic video, I would watch every one of these.

[@MrKrisstain]

This was awesome! Thanks!

[@iocantokg]

an interview that is refreshing....

[@johnnypatterson77]

Both of you guys are heroes of mine, just so awesome to see this.

[@HoosierHacker]

Conan will always be an inspiration to me.

[@lancegringo4691]

Bee Girl in the Blind Melon video - amazing that he dropped that in there!

[@K3ns0]

You ARE needed Conan! Now more than ever! :)

[@jason3064]

This was great,thought i wouldn't watch the entire thing but i did.Great interview and nice rapport.

[@TheFinax3]

I really love when Conan is more relaxed and more natural. It really makes the interview feel more real.

[@benrujo]

24:05 I think i finally sympathize with comedians about their political correctness plight. Before, my answer to comedians who complain about PC culture was always, "Being political INCORRECT is a crutch. Find a smarter way to be funny." But I think I'm beginning to understand that it's not so much about the jokes themselves, but the creative process that needs to be able to say a million terrible things in order to find something we can all laugh about.

[@kRrUiLsEtSn]

this inspires me. please Conan we want more Serious Jibber-Jabber :D

[@veenbeen]

This is great! Conan is great at this format

[@Browerchick]

It would be awesome if Conan would sit down with Norm Macdonald! :)

[@kristenclg]

i love these!!!

[@RambleOn1970]

this is an awesome interview!!!! This needs Way more views!

[@franniealbaugh1298]

I have watched you hosting late night shows since you started. You always made me laugh. I thought it was “intentional” to have a bit that seemed to fail so it would lead into the best “they’re turning on me” dead pan look and comebacks!!!The great J. Carson was great at this also. Such subtle and brilliant comedy. “Uncomfortably smooth”, but relatable to the many others that are tuning in. It’s like real human parody. I believe your individual “perfect style” from the beginning, was very underrated by the “powers that be” at different times, but not by the majority of viewers. You were a breath of fresh air then and now.

[@TioMaui]

What?

[@TheCon93]

I loved this interview!

[@iamhectorperez]

Would love more of this

[@kmmk292929]

love this interview

[@whosyodaddy13]

Great chill interview with 2 comedy legends. It was fantastic to hear the stories and insights of those who've entertained us for so long, and they both brought up a huge question/fact about how comedy isn't as respected as the "smart" dramas or foreign films. I hope that changes. On a side note, this seemed like great therapy for Conan and Judd. :)

[@nickinportland]

I’ve never laughed harder at a movie theatre than Superbad. I was the perfect age for it and it was a truly amazing thing.

[@bhseigel]

it was our animal house

[@danielgoldberg1371]

Just watched this after too many years and, yes, you are absolutely needed. Keep doing. More beard, tho.

[@BlakieTT]

Also, how the hell did Judd know about my loving to watch Conan every night, then taking a break, and then coming back and still loving it so much! D:

[@nedaal-saadi3523]

Good stuff Conan. Yes comedians need to be recognized. The package the truth in so beautifully in our world of media PC, thought police and lies.

[@ChrisClark4703]

best hour of my life, thanks conan

[@Kurttoons]

Great stuff. Love both of these guys and this format is perfect. More please. How about Chappelle?

[@theschnauz2138]

Great interview. I can definitely remember the comedy tsunami of Steve Martin in the late '70's. I remember being furious that my brother got to see The Jerk but I wasn't allowed because I was too young. I also loved This Is 40. It bewilders me that it was slammed by critics. I laughed all the way through it. I could definitely identify with portions of it.

[@jonlesliehaynes]

12:07 A fantastic question for directors and writers... for people

[@randybaker7369]

He needs this kind of show on a network to do regularly. Badly. It's so good!

[@avlisdesilva1000]

Loved this

[@MarvinMarbles]

I, as a finnish guy, am a publicly Conan liker. This Jibber-Jabber makes me an actual Conan lover. Thank you Conan for this!

[@Guy-qs5nz]

This is awesome.

[@tp4155]

this interview was amazing

[@topherwriter1]

It's interesting how he talks about how Steve Martin influenced him and how it was seen as kind of nerdy back in the day. If you ever watch "Freaks and Geeks" there's an episode where the main character goes on a date with a popular girl, and I think it's "The Jerk" that they see. He's cracking up, and she just thinks it's stupid. His childhood clearly influenced how he wrote.

[@linzifurnari8771]

Chris Campbell and the freaks and geeks episode about gym class and not getting a chance to prove they are better than the class thinks

[@lightlord919]

Wow, just wow. Honestly this really ruled. I actually like this better than much of Conan's new show. Please Conan do more of these! This is the kind of heartfelt and real type of interviews that talk-show's these days lack, but Podcasts thrive in!

[@frankbooth2650]

that was a great interview

[@ETDFCEOTAD]

Great, great interview.

[@MarketResearchReading114]

Thank you very much for serious jibber jabber I hope you get to do more.

[@mamashecrazy7423]

What a great interview. I am obsessed with JA- a Long Island kid done good. And I loved that Conan was just being himself, not pandering like on his show (sorry Conan, you know what I mean).

[@DavidFlores]

I was still watching!! This was really good

[@glucosaminecondroitan9135]

I love that Conan loves Adam West Batman! Adam West's Batman is the best. Judd and Conan talking about how Airplane! And Young Frankenstein! Those are two of my favorite movies.

[@LynnieDW]

Ah! I have a hardback copy of Cruel Shoes! You each are so talented in your own way.

[@jnouel]

I think that Conan uses the "Being aware of the formula" and becomes self-aware/meta as a show having sometimes genius jokes/sketches that would only work in that format (Live, guest, audience) and takes advantage of this notion. Sure, its not everyday but it's not easy writing gold for so many shows (And they are always way above average funny at least), but sometimes we get genius and its so worth it. Here, we have another target and format, and as you say so thought-provoking. I enjoy both.

[@uppercut14]

i'd be great to see more discussions about comedy.

[@lionheartstanza]

Conan needs to make jibber-jabber into a podcast. I love this and would like to be able to listen to it while working out, driving my car, etc. TEAM COCO, PLEASE!

[@rockerdude725973]

You got your wish 10 years later.

[@msmooreski1]

I love Judd Apatow's spot-on, unwavering love of comedy.

[@lancefarrellance]

there is no permanent award for comedy, comedy is a moving target. albert brookes

[@bouknight91]

i enjoyed this very much

[@texbls]

what he said makes me think of this: “I've noticed that when people are joking they're usually dead serious, and when they're serious, they're usually pretty funny.” ― Jim Morrison

[@Janestjohns]

Love you both

[@ANDREV]

Amazing! seeing it on 2018, hopeful comedy writer here

[@KaterinaTalantliva]

you made American Comedy closer to me. thanks

[@christophero55]

This is my favorite of all the current Jibber-Jabbers. More Jibbin' and Jabbin' please.

[@bdre5555]

The cable guy is a hugely underrated a gem. That movie is amazing

[@AlexanderKleeZH]

I loved it! really interesting talk... "Inside the comedian studio"

[@ZackGomez198035]

Great interview with Judd Apatow.

[@Stockfield]

This is Gold!

[@amymwheeler]

This episode is still as interesting and hilarious as it was the first time. Just finished my fourth watching.

[@conoranderson2313]

Weird to see Conan so serious. Very relatable video though and a lot of cool back history.

[@sturzynski]

This is a great idea conan!

[@Paelmoon]

Very awesome.

[@KSUwildcats35]

That was great!

[@NikaBeselia]

Please invite Adam Mckay on Jibber-Jabber

[@shaunlowe5108]

I didn't know that about The Cable Guy. I've seen that movie easily 75-100 times. When I was a teenager me nad my friends would get stoned and watch that movie over and over! Hilarious

[@sirchuckypoo]

this is awesome

[@TomGallagherSuperboyBeyond]

same, this is a great interview

[@Davett53]

May 2022,.....loved this! Big fan of Conan's, but I ignored this whole series until beginning in April of 2022, when I ran out of other lighter weighted Conan enterprises. After 2 years of near isolation related to the Corona Virus, You Tube saved me from going completely insane.
