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

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.

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.

I truly think Conan and Liza will be together til death do them part. They are absolutely so sweet.

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!!!!

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

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.

[@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. 😂

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

[@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. 😁

[@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.😁🤣

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.

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.
