What a legend. Conan is the standard by which all late night is measured. His relationships are amazing with Bill Burr, Paul Rudd, Jeff Goldblum, Flula Borg , Steven Yeun, and Timothy Olyphant. I can’t wait to see his new journey. Been a loyal fan since 1995

The second you see Rudd, you know he's showing that clip, and you know that Conan knows it's coming. He sees it. But he clings to that tiny spark of hope that this time, this time it will be different. He clings so hard that he falls for it twice in a row.

[@Trdrstv]

somehow charlie brown convinces himself... "THIS is the time I'll finally kick the football." The joke is actually less about the clip but the amount of mis-direction Paul uses to get us there.

I gotta give it to Rudd, and the assist by Hader, selling it as a legit intro to a "never before seen clip". I got lost in the story of how bad the cut-for-time SNL sketch was, that I never saw the "Mac and Me" gag coming. Bra-f*cking-vo! Thanks for getting one more in, Paul. 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽

the setup for this was incredible, completely forgot about Mac n me

[@patreekotime4578]

The fact that Paul Rudd enters like a "surprise" guest on the Phil Donahue show with the hidden stool and everything just had me rolling even before they played the clip. Somewhere someone keeps getting these random royalty checks for Mac & Me and is so damn confused.
