Such a good sport. Rest in peace, Ron.

[@ArtVandelayOfficial]

He was actually a very aggressive angry man off camera, numerous audience members have talked about it

[@jamie.777]

Ron is awesome. Rip

[@bonafideslacker2626]

RIP Ron Popeil. I shall rotisserie a chicken in his honour.

[@UndeadFreak]

he had a great personality, conan was brutal bac kin the day lol best to ever do it, rip Ron!

[@jamie.777]

Ron is America 🇺🇸. R.i.p. Mr Popeil

[@jlars231]

I know i'm a little late to the party but i was genuinely impressed with how well the hairspray worked hahah

[@robert-uc4mf]

me too :P

[@lonelyone]

It's way better than the alternative.

[@Dev-fo7oi]

Conan is the greatest talk show host of all time.

[@john94949]

Got that right

[@dbunik44]

for me it will always be Craig Ferguson, but the Host all the other hosts look up to atm is Graham Norton, american actors love being on his program, they look forward to it, and hey he gives them free booze...Conan doesen't do that

[@robert-uc4mf]

agree

[@IdeaVitaBG]

@@dbunik44 Craig is powerful as hell (especially with you know what), hence why I also think Craig is the real master

[@dbunik44]

@@GFSCN69 it's gonna be hard losing Conan, I still have Ferguson withdrawl

[@bra8623]

Hello . Today is July 28th. 2021. I read today online that Mr.Ron Popeil passed away today . R.I.P. Mr. RON. Thanks for the memories. With your inventions and marketing talents, you provided the world with an easier way to live..

[@Starlesslight]

Saw this post and was afraid Ron Popeil had died. Conan has a knack for posting these sorts of videos when that happens. Fortunately it appears the infomercial legend still lives.

[@greenrobot5]

I remember him more for the "set it and forget it" oven

[@--....---]

yeah it's my fear as well whenever a classic clip is uploaded

[@shiranweber8959]

Conan ended up posting this a few months early.

[@jasonyoung9559]

Sadly, he's dead now.

[@sajti83]

One of the good things about Covid is... that it brings out 'old school' Conan videos. Thank god for that!

[@dbunik44]

this is the "fluid" that leaked from Gulliani's head

[@GGoAwayy]

Actual truth.

[@ahmedaiman4687]

A fellow trever noah fan I see

[@tommygunns8984]

Or Biden’s brain. Or Hunter’s crack pipe.

[@Qtipz123]

Ah . . . Reliving my childhood. Ron Popeil 🤣👍

[@ejiroodudu8539]

Ron actually saw the future, his products are timeless!!!

[@jbizzle8491]

Rest in Peace, Ron! Go show Billy Mays how to "set it, and forget it" 😎

[@mpa1931]

Its pretty cool that Ron is just a great dude, he is missed for sure.

[@sharazar]

Rip Ron Popeil, you are an infomercial legend. Always had a great attitude, probably why he was so successful. Rest in Piece, hope there is more for you in heaven..

[@Sharkfreak956]

"I feel like an infomercial shill" Oh no.

[@matthewshaw4475]

I worked on his home kitchen, got to eat deep fried prime rib cook by Mr. Popeil himself and chat with him. Great human being

[@UndeadFreak]

what an awesome story! deep fried prime rib? holy!!!

[@Justinsdada03]

I'm a little late to this party as well but sad that he died, but he was in his 90s and lived a great life

[@MrDBcooper77]

Conan made Ron look like a kid..😂😂…Rest in peace

[@HankAaronJoseph19]

I grew up watching Ronco always wanting that cooking oven. Set It and Forget It

[@linkage432]

Never knew the great Popeil was on Conan. I could watch hours of this.

[@TravisAllenKing]

I really Like Conan. And I will always remember Mr Invention, Ron Popiel.

[@towvalee2297]

I wanted a food dehydrator for the longest time because of that man!

[@r3tr0actiongamer24]

Maybe Rudy can pitch the spray paint hair dye because it looked so great when it was dripping down the sides of his melon shaped dome

[@bigmattwheel]

"wahnee- wahnaa"

[@eynchaglobus2694]

I think this is the earliest example of it I've seen. I don't remember him doing it on air in recent years but there was a Facebook live stream a couple of years ago where it can be heard as he's bobbing around in the dead sea.

[@Crusader7077]

For some reason, that pasta maker reminds me of the old Play-Doh barber shop set.

[@albryant2385]

RIP Ron

[@creekalmighty]

this guy is chill

[@zoperxplex]

But wait, there's more.

[@88Doug]

Ron, me and dad loved watching you! We laughed, we always had a good time though! You do inspire me!

[@TubenIt83]

RIP Ron Popeil

[@joeeastwood3795]

He was a smart man.

[@cityonfoot6023]

The thing is salons sell that hair powder now. Pretty revolutionary.

[@danceswithcomicbooks7733]

It's not the same thing. Rons was talcum powder mixed with a colored liquid. It didn't work well and created a mess on the hair. Basically it just painted the scalp and ron would comb over the long hair to cover it on top. Today's fibers are made of Keratin and cling to each individual hair to thicken them. Far superior. I give Ron kudos for getting his to market first. But there is reason it was discontinued.

[@pelongarza3764]

I feel so old I remember watching these ads in the early 2000s

[@maryanne1830]

Omg baby Conan!!!!!

[@dr.horseman4018]

He's roasting food in heaven now! RiP sir

[@halfsourlizard9319]

Setting it and forgetting it ...

[@RandyJames22]

Did he ever invent a super peeler? A...Ron Po-Peeler?

[@BrettOwen71]

If not he should have!

[@shadowman2192]

It seemed like Ron was getting a little annoyed by Conan towards the end.

[@Mike-pj1kv]

I just use the cheap spray paint at the 99 cent store. The "burnt umber" looks okay for me.

[@jonathanmitchell9886]

The show was a hell of a lot of fun back then. I still miss it.

[@drumboarder1]

He's not dead I checked

[@hussydahustla]

😂

[@RainesProductions]

I always thought Ron Popeil looked like Jack Nicholson's Joker.

[@dosadi420]

Same here!

[@GrandAdmThrawn]

Finally a good clip after so many months. Good old times. 10/10

[@henrypleskac5757]

This is amazing

[@exvaran]

When Conan posts stuff like this I have to Google the guest and prepare myself for the worst. I'm happy that that's not the case this time

[@mza2195]

Sadly, he was five months early. RIP Ron

[@Ryviusx01]

Conan is a genius at making fun of people but appear to be making fun of himself

[@randymoran67]

Rudi calludi is so grateful to rons solution to baldness 😮

[@abbeynormal3696]

i needs me some o'that GLH

[@fichaeljmox6532]

It even cuts the pasta, freeing it from the machine!

[@alexfrt01]

That's a cool invention!

[@coneyfan]

"That's amazing!" (nothing happens)

[@DaveSandine]

RIP. 😢

Hahahahaha wah nee wah nah is from three stooges

[@eynchaglobus2694]

[@robert-uc4mf]

[@pemo2676]

4:40 ANOTHER WANEE WANAA FOR THE COMPILATIONS

[@vincevvn]

Felt like Conan did not like this guy lol

[@lonelyone]

I had no idea GLH worked as well as it does. Looked it up on Amazon and they still sell them, for twice the price.

[@robocock475]

Should've had Clint Howard on the show just to demonstrate the spray on hair thing

[@zoperxplex]

And wait, there's more.

[@jeffneis553]

Just wait but theres more!

[@brandonlongbottom5747]

Because of the pin!

[@DilgFLIX]

Remember when conan wanted to live.

[@nonoo]

Any Larry Flynt clips coming up?

[@JamMastaJew]

Have Scott and PFT been made aware of this for Mr. Microphone purposes???

[@pelicanphuucker4life]

So callous that Popeil...Couldn't care less his canned hair nearly wiped out Kahazakstan's #2 export.

[@fantomtuba]

So spray it on your scalp, then comb your hair over it?

[@johntoth1264]

I thought I was the only one who noticed. You Sir, have a keen eye for bullshit

[@BrettOwen71]

I love the repore between Ron and Conan and how unpretentious Ron is.

[@halfsourlizard9319]

rapport*

[@BillyAlabama]

Rudy Giuliani needs a case of the hair restorer.

[@ricovali9245]

In the year... 2,000.

[@ryanm4319]

Just SET IT..AND FORGET IT!

[@graytonw5238]

Ron just passed away at age 86. Seemed like a nice guy who proved there really is a sucker born every minute. Not an outright charlatan though, at least people had fun with their Pocket Fishermen and Mr. Microphones before they ended up in the junk drawer or garage sales.

[@erichaynes7502]

Ron Popeil was such a great guy, he loved showing off his products more than anything..he seemed to be having so much fun at work. Also, Conan seems to be a little bit of a jerk sometimes doesn't he?

[@the406seadonkey6]

Yes. Absolutely. Thank you for this. He eventually matured but I was over him by the early 2000s there for a while.

[@SceneComparisons]

this guy looks a lot like a guy who screams at his employees at the top of his lungs everyday he also have a trophy wife who hates him

[@leyroy1980]

Rip

[@tymz-r-achangin]

So the spray coats the bald skin with color and the hair is then combed over that dyed skin

[@badhomwork3585]

Why do you think he was booked?

[@strapfacts]

Man, hella awkward to see early Conan, and to know how he would end up. And seemed to be tension, albeit a friendly one between the two.

[@matt4398]

Ha

[@Ganiscol]

Turns out, it makes your real hair fall out a few months later. 😬

[@thebubbacontinuum2645]

Feminists use this on their shins.

[@billytexasgames3130]

First

[@mt_gox]

hey @HoboTraveler does this really work? apparently not! 🤣
