In this episode?! Kevin is witty and dry and all over like this in every interview. He's amazing! I love guests that crack up Conan. Bill Burr is another great

[@suemick8709]

Kevin Nealon is the best at being innocently insulting and referring to a joke told 5 minutes earlier. So consistently funny and never grossly offensive. Super creative and out of left field thinking. I always get the impression that he is also a very nice man. He was making Conan work up a bit of a sweat on this one which is always enjoyable especially with Sona laughing.

And Sona, her delightful laugh and her jabs at Conan are the icing on this magical cake!

[@amrita3000]

Conan is empathetic as well. He did not want to make fun of 300 lb people. They do not have the same sense of humor. I have been watching Conan shows since 1998, this guy is exceptional. He comes across as an excellent human being while being super funny.

[@mediocreman2]

They definitely don't have the same sense of humor. Conan is self deprecating and silly. Nealon is much more cocky and a bit insecure. He's non committal and needs constant validation and attention. That's why he has such a hard time interviewing people, because he doesn't really care about what they have to say. Conan is insecure but in a way that just needs you to laugh at him. Why do you think Sona is always around? Kevin will attack people to make himself feel better about himself. Conan never does that, but he does defend himself.

He’s awesome. But I could never have dinner with Conan because I’d be constantly on the verge of choking…

[@GokulOnFire]

Yes but not all can have this kinda thing with him

[@GokulOnFire]

My comment in another video making the same point but specifying why this is special "This is more than great comedy. It's two people who know about each other. Like an old friend who has drifted away but he gets who you truly are despite whatever socio economic difference you have now that once you didn't have, you both know the line to tow & stretch it without crossing it. Or its like meeting a guy who you were friend with when you were married & were the double date couple, you have a great understanding of each other so when you meet it clicks but you know you can't make it permanent because of other situations so you have to tread the line & just reminisce. No guest knew the ways of Conan better than Nealon, maybe Dana Carvey did but he wasn't intuitive as Nealon who just absorbs things. Like the "don't attack me" is all about the passive aggressive trait of Conan, Sona who knows Conan the best even didn't spot that but Nealon noticed it in a sec. Same with Conan spotting Nealon shifting topics when asked to open up."

[@benjaminjohnspencer1864]

“I’m not looking for laughs. I’m just behaving as I would in front of an iconic legend.” Nealon is so genius at delivering these devastating lines so tossed off and seemingly random. You don’t learn this, you’re born with it.

[@clarencethomas01]

yeah I find Spade and Nealon actually sort of do a similar thing, lots of really short, really fast jokes that are just reactions. Spade is obviously more sarcastic (sometimes) and self deprecating whereas Nealon is sort of either a bit goofy, or hilariously mean, almost in a Rickles way but much more modern. Incredible to see 2 guys who have both been funny forever, and have known each other so long, it's borderline telepathic
