Rest in peace Edmund Morris. You seemed like a wonderful historian

[@chrisdeardourff3093]

Conan, these interviews are fantastic...please don't stop!

[@robertraymond762]

Whoops.

[@dwdorris3048]

Just discovered them. Thanks for putting them on the AhYouaTuba

[@alexcheng1560]

Jibber-Jabber reminds me that Conan is Harvard Graduate

[@georgeince4136]

Roosevelt alluded me as well until I read his trilogy.

[@connorveach5986]

Conan’s smart no doubt but you don’t need to go to Harvard to read historical biographies and compose thoughts about them

[@uxnosidda]

@@connorveach5986 lmao. yup, and you dont even need to go to harvard to be smart.

[@joshdiaz05]

Rest in Power Edmund Morris. Found out about his books because of this very controversation. A fantastic author and a great interview subject.

[@FCSchaefer]

One of the best serious interviews I've ever listened to; a real joy and Morris's books on Roosevelt are well worth the time to read.

Fascinating! Great job in catching the significance of this moment 👍🏽

Conan the Contrarian

[@futurebooker]

It's so amazing to see Conan in this forum. He's highly intelligent, well spoken, knows his facts and lets his guest answer his questions to his fullest ability without cutting him off. Conan needs to do more of these interviews, it's nice to see him step out of his comedic bubble. Well done, Conan, you are the man!

[@mattdiliberto4967]

I sincerely love this show.

[@IgnorancEnArrogance]

I am currently on the 2nd book in his TR biography, Theodore Rex, and it is absolutely fascinating and life changing!

[@jdt2003]

Now this I would watch on TV.

[@ittiebittie81]

Conan is probably the only comedian/talk show host who can pull of a 'serious' show like this. It's so different from what he usually does. Great to see how versatile he's been over the past few years. We need more of this stuff! Keep it up!

[@Half_giraffe]

"The kind of people we have running for office these days have no historical memory, and very little culture."

[@davidphillips3227]

So unfortunately true...

[@nath-wp7xp]

TRUMP

[@myaccount4699]

Well, when he said that, Obama was the president, not Trump.

[@boppob1343]

@@myaccount4699 yeah but Obama was literally an intellectual like Edmund or Conan considering his background in University and becoming a professor

[@bradspitt3896]

What is an intellectual? Apparently someone prone to the cognitive bias that is naive cynicism.

[@bittersweet411]

I love seeing Conan outside his usual environment with no pressure to be "on" and get laughs.

[@theowhowe83]

I actually never really thought about it, but if you look at the three late night hosts' backgrounds, it makes sense. Conan came up as a writer, so it makes sense that he has a more academic interest. Letterman came up through broadcasting, so it would make sense that he is interested in media production. Leno got his start as a stand-up comedian, so it stands to reason that his interests would be more "blue collar."

[@ryanjosephdaley6723]

I had no idea that Conan was such a serious intellectual. I'm impressed.

[@ryanjosephdaley6723]

I know now.

[@valhalla1240]

I love him even more for not making a big fuzz about it and not taking himself too seriously, when he clearly could.

[@realmistermacguffin]

Rest in peace, you wonderful historian

[@CrowClouds]

Conan please interview more authors!!! I

[@bencvt]

This is excellent, and is yet another reason why Conan is the best talk show host by a mile. I'll take a fascination with history over cars (Leno) or media production (Letterman) any day of the week. I'd love to see more lengthy interviews like this!

[@kaylepieght9158]

I find Conan so damn endearing in this video

[@draftingsavant7190]

Kayle Pieght and cryptic. don't you?

[@ImaginaryAudience]

I'm among those that would also love to see more of these. Especially if it's more topics that Conan's knowledgeable about. It makes the conversation all the more fascinating and edifying.

[@JJStarcade]

I like this Morris fellow. I'm loving these jibber jabber videos.

[@randomlycarrot]

Its always nice to see conans intellectual side, and when watching his talkshow I always get the impression that behind the sometimes really silly humor there is a great mind behind it. His respect for Edmund Morris is quite clear in this interview as well

[@fellipealcantara6856]

I'm reading Dutch, great to watch this interview. Conan is just the best.

[@redrobot77]

This must be what Conan can see himself doing in his later years, I certainly can, he's 50, maybe he's tired of being on everyday and working so hard. Brilliant.

[@Somestuffgood]

I've read Morris's first two volumes of TR's life and I've enjoyed them more than any other biography I've ever read. Morris is fair and knows where to put the lens, so to speak. I think it also helps that TR lived about 10 lives in his sixty some-odd years. Good stuff. Enjoyed the heck out of this video.

[@puupipo]

Watched half of it now and gonna watch the other half tomorrow. Although I'm not American and so the topic doesn't directly concern me, I really enjoy watching Conan showing his serious jibber-jabber -side and showing that he can do much more than just be funny. His talk-show is always a joy to watch but because the show is so frequent sometimes I feel that the same jokes are recycled over and over again, and therefore it's definitely refreshing to watch him in a different environment.

[@pemulis808]

These are great. Love the guests you've chosen and hope to me to see more of these.

[@renesrelics]

So GOOD! More more more

[@sor7en07]

Discovering Jibber Jabber has been the best thing that's happened to me today. Conan was already an idol of mine. But this elevates him to a new level. What a legend.

[@lisamg953]

This makes me WAY too happy!! Love, love, love this Jibber Jabber!! Thank you Conan.

[@AfricaEric]

Where has jibber jabber been all my life. Not sure how I missed this

[@chris6770]

Loved seeing this smart knowledgeable side of Conan, hope he does more.

[@amigosimaginariosporluna4182]

I love serius Conan. I´m very much in love with his wit and I certainly want to make up with his brain :D.

[@BrianM8685]

This was really, really great. I hope Conan does these regularly.

[@drappke]

I'm liking this serious jibber jabber, a good in-depth interview about elaborate subjects with time to talk and no need for punchlines or constant humor. A nice change of pace, I look forward to the next one.

[@ha6464]

Didnt think id enjoy a discussion like this so much! Two very cool people.

[@latue87]

Thank you so much for doing this. You're such a great host, whether it's serious or funny.

[@Surtr92]

another hour of conan. my day just significantly improved.

[@SophFearne]

This really is great! Very interesting and I like seeing Conan's serious side :) Keep on doing these awesome interviews! :)

[@oniwrath]

This is amazing, i wish the actual show was more like this.

[@alexanderverdoodt]

amazing interview

[@Kaoimhin19]

Absolutely love this. I can't wait for more!

[@MarvinMarbles]

This is good idea! I love to see Conan like this for a change

Thank you both. Love from Hungary.

[@ShiksaWithChutzpah1]

A wonderful fascinating informative conversation with Mr. Morris. Please do more of these with Conan.

[@ruthertagala]

more of these conan, i know you’ve branched out into doing podcasts now but if u can do a couple of these i would appreciate it

[@chola377]

Way ahead of time

[@JakeStephensMrJakeStephens]

Yes Yes, this is amazing. Conan is so knowledgeable beyond his comedic work and this presentation needs more, even beyond Presidential history.

[@jonasbaas]

These talks are awesome.

[@RupeshChhagan]

That was great! Keep them coming.

[@creanlis]

Great series. Looking forward to more episodes!

This was great. I didn't know much about TR prior to this video, but Conan and Edmund Morris manage to convey his character and presidency rather well

[@chefmark1751]

This is wonderful and fascinating.

[@Deejcello]

Thank you for the great content, I hope everyone else appreciates this too

[@TravelingKristin]

loved this! Do more!

[@ColAlbSmi]

I never heard of Edmund Morris until my Mom dragged me to his book discussion the day after his first Conan interview. I actually bought The Rise of Theodore Roosevelt there and he signed it for me. Since then I have been a huge TR fan.

[@Zetsuke4]

Very fascinated with this side of conan

[@strumbore88]

Great interview, I'm going to look forward to these! Subscribing now!

[@bowl452]

Really enjoyed this. Keep doing more please

[@ganz32]

This was so awesome! More please...

[@michaelknapp3848]

Come on you guys! Give Morris a break. I think he comes across as someone who's only being honest about his subjects warts and all. I liked him. THANK YOU CONAN FOR DOING THESE INTERVIEWS. I'm really enjoying them!! Mike from port, ore

Thanks Conan. Brilliant interview. Keep up the fine work.

[@jasonhardman6626]

Just stumbled across this, Conan. Yes!! Get back to doing these!! We know the other guy you mentioned, Mr. Bathrobe, wont be doing it anymore...

[@scholarlycat8180]

It takes a brilliant mind to do what Conan regularly does to make us laugh. He is naturally an intellectual that likes to have conservations like this.

[@stevecolbert9518]

I loooooove that Conan is a history buff! :)

[@Urbandrone]

Great Interview!

[@SufjanSays]

TeamCoco, please plase PLEASE do this more often. Conan is a great interviewer, and if he gets more introspective guests, that could be some INCREDIBLE television and youtube entertainment. The next one I can think of is maybe Letterman or Carter or Dorris Kearns Goodwin. Please!

[@sparstangled]

I really loved this, it was AMAZING

[@1989Sarsour]

This was very nice to see a different side of conan.

[@JustSomeCanadianGuy]

Conan needs to get like 50 biographers like this on this podcast.

[@gregorcollins]

So awesome that Conan wants to do this.

[@tylesaintcool]

Great interview. I noticed some guy trolling here because the interview and its subject went way over his head (and his comments show that). I've always been interested in history and it was cool to sit here and listen for 48 minutes about American presidents. It's cool to see Conan not trying to be "on" all the time because of the pressures of being funny.

[@unkle5735]

I loved this, please do more

[@MichaelVinci]

love this content conan o'brien keep it up

[@joshuavalle7228]

I absolutely love this! I think Conan should continue this as well as start a whole slew of side shows or projects. Continue Conan, start a political show, continue this history/biography program, create a new show based on his HILARIOUS video game reviews.....I can't be the only one who thinks Conan can and SHOULD do it all, right?!?!?!

[@buttercup1765]

Wonderful!

[@MisterYumYums]

Wow I was not expecting this to be so fascinating and awesome.

[@foucault8964]

Conan seems happier here than his TBS set.

[@gregorcollins]

Yes, Conan is my hero without having watched this. That being said, please send more.

[@oGodHaveMercy]

This is better than the talk show.

[@jasonnewyork1]

Do more of this! I am reading Theodore Rex right now, and loving it!

[@GStarGoku3]

These are extremely good.

[@felixramsey]

This is crazy cause not too long ago I stumbled upon these books & so wanted to read them. I had never heard of this man before & now he's doing an interview with Conan O'Brien. I'm not saying nobody else knew of him, just not me. Crazy, that's all.
