Liza Powel O'Brien talks about how she met Conan and how Mike Sweeney became their wingman (podcast)

Inside Conan podcast.

[@nandhanakrishnanr4990]

Conan meeting Liza. kzbin.info/www/bejne/Z3nEeZiHjaekrrs I love this this part 20:23 where Liza asks to Conan what if he couldn't find her when she change her job, to which Conan says he would have found her and there is an entire department of people there who does nothing but find things for him.

Do you understand about passing the not? I mean did she literally write a note on paper and went to Mike's office to give it to him? Or what? Please anyone do tell to alleviate my confusion.

[@Yfguu]

I love how they invited Hilton to the wedding. That was super thoughtful. What a class act.

[@felipeharger]

I was wondering that!

[@HeierMr]

I’m a 27 year old man, and Conan saying he prefers the memory of meeting Liza over rewatching the remote warms me heart. I love this man like a teenage girl loves Robert Pattinson

[@whitestoneandy797]

Completely agree. And that's the best description of how we as Conan's fans feel about him. We are rightly obsessed w him lmao

[@r.minnis9722]

his shilling of the vaccine in excess is cringe worthy and i lost respect for him but hes still top 3 best ever

[@ImagenNoReligion]

@@r.minnis9722 "shilling of the vaccine" or as we like to call it, using his voice to save lives?

[@anthonycorsi6409]

I love how Conan had to invent a situation after the shooting was finished to hang out with Liza even though he’s a huge star on television, he was a still that scared kid in high school that was a bit too nervous to ask a girl out. So he concocted a situation where he wouldn’t get shot down. It really shows what a good guy Conan is, especially in this day and age when we see the way so many creeps on TV treated women in the nineties.

[@rwallaceva]

So glad Conan found Liza. He seems like such a good dude, I'm glad he found happiness.

[@henryewald9327]

She is spectacular to control his personality.

[@koljabudimlic4231]

@@henryewald9327 Of course, don't know either of them IRL, (though I'd much like to) but it definitely seems that Conan's the crazy neurotic comedian type and Liza's the only one that can "ground" him, so to speak. Always loved this dynamic lol. It definitely makes for great comics, That's for sure. I believe Bill Burr has a similar dynamic with his wife Nia.

[@emmettlester739]

"If that guy had not sawed his furniture up with a chainsaw, we might not exist". Shoutout to Hilton.

[@AdmiralWinfrey]

Conan made his crew go on a group date so he could talk to Liza, and everyone felt awkward and resentful. This is the exact situation he would write as a joke, but he can't because he did it in real life. 😂

[@looolby7173]

They're really meant for each other. The fact that Conan went into serious mode to make a good first impression the first time they meet which he doesn't do when he's just messing around flirting for the purpose of his show.

[@natelevy1040]

Wife: Conan wasn't his normal self, he was Mr. Grumpy. Staff: No that's just how he is without you. ❤

[@TCGView]

Wow, you can tell Liza is really into him. This whole story is so enchanting. The world needs more Lizas.

[@dreamivey3405]

She wanted to divorce him because she got bored of him at one point in their relationship.

[@TCGView]

@@dreamivey3405 A lot of couple go through that. It happens.

[@ladylo-fi6979]

I love Liza's honesty about how this all went down and her feelings about it. So interesting and she seems really cool.

[@martydrooo]

You’d have to be a cool chick to for someone like Conan to show long term interest in you… and vice versa

[@raqui174]

I’m smiling throughout this entire thing like a maniac

[@anjetto1]

conan sort of big manned his crew, but the fact that his dudes all went along with it because they liked him really speaks to his personality and work culture

[@diogocorreiavideo]

They all got to be his wingmen

[@blackfloyd8069]

She really loves him. Damn, thats rare in Hollywood, good for both of them.

[@afrosymphony8207]

Omg she was the one who made the big move, holy shit, what a fucking QUEEN!!! She probably saved him from still being single till now cause knowing conan i think he'd be worried about coming off as a douche, him "the tv star" asking out the girl he met a remote loool. AND they invited hilton the weding, bruh what a wholesome story!!!!

[@Calicocutpants]

Hearing Liza say “mucking around in my favorite weeds” sold me that she was meant to be Conan’s wife 🤣

[@amnessie]

It's perfect in his mind, the way the whole scenario played out. No need to watch it.

[@polarberri]

This is the most adorable meeting story I have ever heard. She has excellent recall, and I'm in love with her eloquence and turns of phrase!

[@jspres86]

Love these kinds of shows. I don't know what it is about Conan, but it makes you really care about not just him, but all the people around him. Liza, Andy, Sona, Matt, Jordan, Sweeney, Kramer, Blay, and everyone else...we care way more about them than we do famous guests.

[@lesleyatcofo]

I had a serious crush on Conan during high school. He's hilarious and so authentic and kind.

[@annsanse2935]

from the looks of the photos it's clear that this a couple that really, truly loves each other.

[@henryewald9327]

Facts

[@clootscalhoun9481]

I’ve never heard her speak before, and I just love her. She seems so genuine and lovely. I’ve loved Conan since like the mid 90s. Good for them.

[@bernlin2000]

Wow, Mike's memory is incredible! He must have done 100s of remotes since that chance meeting with Liza, he recalls it like it was last week!

[@ameliesayshola8854]

It helps a lot of it was recorded!

[@Rudy-oh9wc]

This is an incredible story and it's always nice to hear how married couples met. I especially like to hear these stories in person because you can see their faces light up.

[@catmansma]

I wish my "How did we meet? " had happiness after the first year of marriage. But I do love hearing the stories of those who are truly happy.

[@maydavalle]

❤️

[@DanielWright-np3fq]

Liza is just what Conan needs and I hope he makes her very happy. She is incredible.

[@TimothyJonSarris]

One evening I caught Liza and Conan out on town(looked like a date( this was back in the mid 90's ) . We were walking uptown, they were walking downtown and as we past them I realized who one of the outrageously tall individuals was. I asked my friends if they had seen who had just past us and they said yes they had, so I turned around and starting yelling, Hey Conan!!! He and Liza started walking even faster, much to my glee as I knew he was probably embarrassed being literally called out. A few nights later he made a joke about it on air, which filled me with happiness, knowing that I had provided him with comedy material. However, during the bit he failed to mention that he was out on a date.😁🤣

[@orngpeelr9017]

beautiful story, except they met in the year 1999...

[@TimothyJonSarris]

@@orngpeelr9017 I could have been wrong about the date🤗

[@TheBarrier]

That’s awesome, do you remember the monologue date?

[@TimothyJonSarris]

@@TheBarrier Hello! Since I was corrected on the date of the sighting, I’m a little hesitant to attempt a date on the monologue, but I thank you all the same. All the best

[@RuthvenMurgatroyd]

Just go through all of the monologues from the 2000 (when they met) to 2002 (when they were married; unless OP confused a married couple for an unmarried one) to verify his story. Although I find it hard to believe he confused the early 2000s for the mid '90s.

[@awkwardboy]

I've been wanting to hear this story for years, ever since I found out they met during a remote.

[@whosyodaddy13]

I’ve been a massive fan of Conan’s since pretty much the beginning of his career on Late Night and all the other iterations of his show, and I’ve seen the remote where he met Liza several times over the years…but I’ve never heard their story in so much detail until now. My God, it was kismet! It’s so unbelievably sweet and genuine that it makes my heart smile for them that they found each other in such a silly, random way. Conan has always been such a major source of fun, laughter, and joy for me, and I’m so happy he found someone that could be that personal someone for him. I love it and wish them a lifetime of happiness! ❤

[@zhong6265]

I keep smiling while listening to the whole story❤️ ( Btw, The most funny part is I am not native speaker. So I turned on the subtitles, and search each of the words I don’t understand. Haha! I take this more seriously than my textbook)

[@bot8.1]

Thank you so much for uploading this Nandhana. I only check this podcast only once in a while. This is such a wholesome clip. I've seen the hilton video and how camera lingers on Conan for a few seconds long probably coz cameraman knew what was going on and him staring into the camera with a pokerface. 😁

[@kane4013]

It makes sense that it all began with a crazy guy and a chainsaw.

[@Bergen98]

I watched that remote several times and thought "Would be cool if they actually invited Hilton, because it is all thanks to him and his chainsaw" And apparently, they actually did, which only proof for the 100th time that Conan is an amazing human overall

[@truth3137]

[@robertoleal8214]

Bruh, I love that they invited Hilton to the wedding. What wild times y'all had.

[@troylowe814]

Well, if it wasn't for Hilton they wouldn't have met. They should also thank the bonehead who made the decision to air Conan at 2:40 in the morning.

[@gsvnj33128]

I saw tapings of Late Night With Conan O'Brien literally hundreds of time. Mike Sweeney warmed up the audience. He was fantastic!

Ahh their beautiful story... Conan found a person who is genuine and sincere just like him. I do like watching him since my childhood and my interest on him has never changed.

Conan and Liza are the embodiment of "Love At First Sight"! I've watched the video of when Conan and his crew filmed the Hilton with his Chainsaw which was hilarious alone! KZbin has a video of The Whole Story and it is well worth taking the time to see! Really fun to hear the perspective from Liza and Mike too! Awesome clip here Nandhana as always!!

Houston's hate for Conan brought him love omg thats so poetic I love how his first question was a lead in to him going to Harvard

[@AYVYN]

Haha. Conan was probably thinking “How do I show this woman I’m not a buffoon?”

[@vjmtz]

Living in Houston, at that time it was ridiculously stupid that the show was on at 2am... I really wish I could have been able to see Conan live when he was here, but considering I was like 16 or so at the time, was a huge bummer I couldn't, but I recall all of Conan's frustration with Houston KPRC and totally agreed with him. Was great tv though.

[@serenalinn]

I watched him for the first two years of his show, in CA. I felt like he wasn't going to go long term lol.... He changed a little, found more of an identity... And the rest was history
