[@TheKitchenerLeslie]

"You got a minute?" He does that every time and you can tell Conan was expecting it.

[@purleybaker]

It is so funny every time.

[@Jon97han]

”He gave me his ashes before he died” I love this type of humor 😂🙏

[@mckernan603]

Lines like those are why I consider Nealon the best WU anchor

[@pwk22]

Not everyone knows that Shandling burned off his left foot before he died, the ultimate sign of love and respect for Nealon.

[@solodolotrevino]

I read this comment before I watched that part and I still laughed so hard

[@dr.pendyke4887]

Quintessential Nealon humor, I always liked his delivery.

[@chrisofstars]

I wrote this reply before you made your comment.

[@kasumiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiin]

The best thing about Kevin's humor is that you really think he's being sincere at first. Then when you least expect it, he'll throw a curveball and you immediately smile at the punchline.

[@juancpgo]

yeah 😂 he likes to surprise

[@DarrenChen]

Yeah he is there Cadillac of comedians. Classy, disfunctional🤪, but still adored. 😘

[@Redtraffic93]

Wow nailed it. I was trying to figure why his comedy is so unique and thats exactly it

[@Largentina.]

He the master of misdirection.

[@brooksbrooks6805]

He gets you EVERY TIME. He's a comedic genius. He'll make you believe he's being sincere finally for 5 seperate times

[@kiidampuller97]

“So…this bitch” that had me crying 😂😂😂

[@kamui627]

Absolutely, I spit out my coffee

[@nictrew]

I rewatch this interview specifically for that part. Hilarious 😆

[@Max-wl5ll]

one of the best things I've heard on conan for sure :P

[@jimjam7928]

It's the way he lowers his register when he says the line. Great delivery.

[@cheesecakeandthediabetes]

"You hate to say goodbye, don't you" made my heart crack.

[@samgerard3891]

Needs to be a book title about him

@@samgerard3891 Yes!! I hope he writes this memoir about his time on late-night television :)

[@VespersGym]

So damn funny. Could not have set that punchline up any better.

[@abrackas1]

Perfect delivery!

[@VangeliRock]

Oh yea..instant eye watering laughter.

[@Kagemusha66]

😂🤣😂

[@daedalus_20v]

Kevin is one of those guys that's so quick and so dry that he can catch anyone off-guard with those quips and cuts. You can never tell, even halfway through a sentence, if it's going to end in a punchline. Sometimes you can't even tell until the following sentence that the first was a set-up! He's like a comedy ninja.

[@s2Capacidade2s]

Conan has 5 or 6 people that he often talks with in different platforms and I am always looking forward for their next cameo, like guest stars in a TV series. Kevin, Bill Burr, Hader, Marty Short, Timothy Olyphant to name a few. Oh and JB Smoove, that guy is hilarious.

[@Alfakkin]

He is, indeed ❤

[@mollyalonso1931]

Kevin never fails to make me laugh. I wish he was talked about more

[@TheDigitalDecade]

Yeah he’s definitely one of the funniest comedians there is.

[@pedrosimas2642]

Same here

[@hammurds]

I always thought Norm was the funniest Conan guest, but after looking back at Kevin’s appearances, I think Kevin is the best

[@solidsnake58]

I remember his (and Norm’s) Weekend Update were the best

[@FreqMod911]

He's low key and super quick like his brain is 100mph but physically he keeps it a few miles below the speed limit.

[@grapesofwraith1066]

I'm going to miss the nightly shows, but I love how Conan is just having his friends and buddies on for the last few weeks - always a great time when Conan and Kevin are together

@@igano111 he is eventually doing a show on HBO max and is focusing on his podcasts until then

[@mavfan1]

But after all these years his segues were always lacking.

[@squimmysquam]

[@ermedic1986]

I'm glad I lived thru the Conan years...from cnbc to tbs..he's consistent and....he's just everything...eternally grateful

[@jeffreyoldham55]

Kevin Nealon's humor is like a jump scare that you are totally expecting, are prepared for it, and *zing* ...he gets you anyway! 😄

[@ebrandonje]

That is such an amazing analogy for his comedy.

[@alisky8551]

I legitimately spat my drink at @6:30. I did NOT see that coming.

[@tom7471]

Kevin Nealon is, I think, one of the most underrated comedians of the past thirty years. The two of these guys together are hysterical!

[@Alfakkin]

Very true 😊

[@WTFG78]

Kevin's an absolute treasure.

[@aimeem9867]

I whole heartedly concur! 😂😂😂

[@JeansWebbTv]

8:47: Conan fighting hard not to laugh hysterically after the dry "I got a camera" comment.

[@lebbo88]

He was using every ounce of willpower.

Actually the lightning quick Andy couldn't come up with a quick reply, so he made that line.

[@lb2455]

"Coulda been a woman, don't wanna be sexist......so this bitch..." Dead, I am dead. He's fantastic.

[@FlowJunkie65]

Kevin and Conan absolutely kill when they're together. They always get me laughing so much. Great pair of extremely talented gentlemen.

[@hammun6]

Kevin sets up his jokes like no one in the biz.

[@Chloe.zyxwvu]

For anyone wondering what soulmates look like...here you are. These two together are bliss.

[@crusaderinacrewnecksweater]

Nealon is so simply and gracefully comedic. He does not need much, conversationally, to make one laugh. That is a paramount trait.

[@Alfakkin]

True

[@JasonWindsor88]

07:48 Conan (in a more serious turn): this has been a really weird time for all of us… Kevin: Thank you

[@alexchavez217]

He is my inspiration fr

[@juliakay6204]

Kevin is one of the ultimate under-rated SNL stars. He was crucial to the comeback of the show in the late 80s.

[@MyAngrySanta]

This is the most straight interview anyone has gotten out of Kevin. I'm amazed. He's going to drive Conan absolutely nuts the first time he's on HBO Max 😂

[@sunnyside9273]

Waiting for some new hikes from Kevin

[@carolz5090]

Definitely!

[@racebiketuner]

Yup. Me too.

[@DactoarD]

Kevin is one of the funniest, just quick as all hell comedians. Dude still has me laughing my ass off. The relationship these two have is gold

[@rush2sk8]

If you like him you will like Lee Mack

[@BrandonLongwell]

I second everything Conan said in his sentimental confession.

[@pacmanshooter247]

I was honestly startled when Kevin actually complimented him. XD

[@cleverusername9369]

0:03 I just want to point out for all of my fellow "Conan O'Brien Needs a Friend" listeners/fans, that Sona is, as always, 100% correct, Conan doesn't say "Saturday Night Live," he ALWAYS says "Satr'Nigh'Live."

[@justmont6635]

I’ve told Conan, via social media, that I can teach him how to pronounce Saturday Night Live. I’m still waiting for him to accept.

[@twothirdsanexplosive]

I appreciate the verbal efficiency

[@bodgertime]

[@PraetorianAU]

"We never prepare. We're like magicians". Best line from the whole interview.

[@einzelgalger52223]

After watching one video of Kevin Nealon, got to binge watch every next video I can search of him in stand-up act or being interviewed. Must say that he is consistently hilarious as anyone could see that he can elicit genuine laughter from Conan and others, and he is one of the very few who could make me burst out laughing alone as I'm busy doing house chores while listening on the earphones. Such a comedic genius. Not to mention, without using swear words.

[@Alfakkin]

True 😊

[@paullamsc]

I wish you guys have talked more... Kevin is so funny and the chemistry between him and Conan is amazing. I heard his episode on the podcast at least 10 times and it always makes me laugh. I hope I can afford HBO Max (because here in Brazil is kind of expensive) so I can continue to watch whatever you going to do next. Love you Conan ❤

[@ronachten2902]

You are quite a beautiful woman.

[@zizinnnn]

this show is the best i will rewatch these gems, it’s a joy

[@patryklau]

It's a shame I do not know Kevin's work well, but his style of humor from this short conversation is so up my alley. Those hidden punchlines about Gary's ashes and he not wanting to sleep with his wife got me literally laughing out loud - which is not very often.

[@adambenson8488]

Kevin Nealon is so underrated. And all these comedians are so funny with Conan.

[@Rahul-bo2kl]

7:32 is exactly why I watch Kevin Nealon on Conan

[@GeddyRC]

7:48 the way he interjects with “thank you” at a totally inappropriate moment has me in tears. Conan’s response is amazing, just a ridiculous moment amongst a series of ridiculous moments.

[@ZuLuuuuuu]

Kevin Nealon is one of my favorite Conan guests, he is right up there. Seriously though, you should watch all his Conan appearences if you haven't done so.

[@imrank9282]

So grateful they post these interviews in full for people like me who can't watch Conan on any streaming service or channel

Saw Kevin do stand-up for the third time just this last weekend. If you haven't seen him live, go. A lot of comedians are storytellers, and they'll build up to the punchline. Kevin is like a machine gun. It's nonstop jokes peppered into longer bits, and he makes it look so effortless. He's truly a master of his craft, and one of the most underrated stand-up comics out there.

[@farhanjaffer3913]

Kevin Nealon and Martin Short with the sniper jokes man! 😂😂😂

[@MisssKayy]

I've always loved Kevin's humor. Reminds me of Chevy Chase. I wonder if SNL hired him as a Chevy Chase type.

[@chefjeff1366]

I was 9 years old when I first discovered the genius of SNL, and for some reason it was because of a "Crystal Gravy" bit - which was a fake commercial spoofing Crystal Pepsi, but with... gravy. There's a scene where Kevin splashes it on his face in the shower like it's refreshing, and that was it. I lost my mind. Just so happens it aired in 1993, same year as Conan's debut. These are two of my comedy heroes, and it's so nice to see some genuine sincerity between these absolute legends.

[@jason_gann]

Wow. This is GOLD!

[@chinaexpertdennis6371]

Kevin is very smart and clever. He is very sincere and genuine and those qualities hold him back sometimes. If he were rude & egotistical and rude, he might be even funnier, but Im glad hes not. You can see he puts the other actors ahead of himself so they can shine. I like that part of himself. This is why pn his hiking show, we learn a Lot about the real person who is hiking with Kevin. Keep it up man and this is why so many entertainers "go take a hike" with him.

[@foevachanster]

These two together always makes me cry laugh. Thanks team coco for bringing them back again! ❤

[@danielgerald4551]

Just when you think he’s talking sincere. There comes the curve. Kevin’s a genius comic.

[@dannaphys5008]

Conan nailed it. Kevin is a top notch television and radio guest. He pulled the jokes from nowhere. He is the best guest that Howard Stern has ever had. I go back and listen all the time that’s how good it is. I only knew him from SNL and a few movie rolls. I discovered that he is an amazing standup. One of the funniest without the credit.

[@raimundoj888]

i dont think norm is gonna be on

[@tjmcdonald7354]

I don’t know if it was a falling out per se, but I don’t think Conan likes Norm as much as people might think. Conan said himself the comedians he admires most are those who work really hard. Norm’s entire career has basically been getting by on talent alone and putting virtually no effort into any of his projects. Conan thinks Norm is hilarious, don’t get me wrong, but he’s not friends with him and I don’t think he really respects him as a person. A couple years ago Norm said some disparaging things about Hannah Gadsby’s special Nanette which got public attention and Conan had her on his podcast shortly thereafter. He hasn’t had Norm on his show since and hasn’t had him on his podcast, which is pretty telling.

[@Teauma]

That subdued "thank you" like trying to make a literal global pandemic about himself, so good.
