Steven Wright Was Invited On Johnny Carson’s Show Twice In One Week | Conan O'Brien Needs A Friend

[@ryandhamilton18]

Conan is like a shark, that first laugh is blood in the water and then he just goes for it as long as he can. Love it.

[@markb20]

You're right, good point

[@wiseoldfool101]

Well put

[@johnlawler2455]

A shark stew.

[@kaljaukko5439]

This had to be Stevens happiest interview ever. He hardly ever laughs out loud, at least in puplic. Great job Coco. 😄👍👍👍

[@kingoffongpei]

This had to be one of Conan's happiest interviews ever, too. Getting Steven to laugh so heartily so many times probably sent Conan over the moon.

[@danielsmeyer]

This is the best ❤😂

[@mattmays9063]

Grew up with both of these guys. Steven bursting out in laughter was something I never thought I'd see in my lifetime. lol

[@AttilatheThrilla]

He actually had a very similar recently with Rich Eisen as well

[@neilcheeseburger]

I remember him laughing a lot on the Craig Ferguson late show.

[@grendlsma]

I saw both of those appearances at the time. He killed it.....and instantly became everyone's favorite comic.

[@somarriba333]

WOAH! This is the MOST animated I have ever seen Steven Wright! Now I want to see Steven Wright and Jordan Schlansky hanging out together.

[@colehines31]

Love how Steven calls attention to phrases he’s never heard. “I’m not putting down a light broth” is the funniest thing I’ve ever heard 😂

[@anton1949]

My spoon would fall right over.

[@chosenArchitec]

Making Steven Wright laugh so hard is pure gold. This is one of the best podcast Conan has ever done.

[@markb20]

You're absolutely right, I really enjoyed this

[@williamneal9076]

I've NEVER seen or heard Wright laugh so. I mean, I'm laughing so much right along with. Very Good.

[@rembeadgc]

Only a mind like Steven's could see the layers of profound and deeply respectful absurdity behind Conan's silliness.

[@SidLaw500]

I was laughing too, partly from hearing Steven laugh so hard.

[@gustafsone]

I have no idea if this is true or not, but Steven Wright is such a comedy legend that Conan probably relished in this triumph (for me to poop on) of making him genuinely laugh for so long, that it is probably one of his greatest achievements!

[@nitsujrandazzo]

Steven holding his face bc he's laughing so hard is what it's all about. So genuine.

[@niaj4]

It's a touching contrast that a comic whose trademark style is so quintessentially deadpan happens to be so generous with laughter and appreciative of other comedians' mind and sensibility.

[@Tommyr]

An animated Steven is something we don't normally see and I really like it. Great episode!

[@xhighone]

I've never seen Steven Wright show even an 1/8th of this emotion. Conan really tickled him and got him to loosen up and be candid. Nice video... I love this. It's so good. Nice work, Conan.

[@user-vh2tj4hv6k]

But honestly don't forget, it was Steven's comment about our brains being like soup 😂 that in turn got Conan to say broth.

[@xhighone]

@@user-vh2tj4hv6k you're not wrong

[@RivaG]

The laughter is contagious and how Conan is just cracking Steven up is priceless!

[@nak3dxsnake]

This interview above all others you've done proves this entire podcast needs to be posted on your youtube. I'm going through a tough time right now and seeing Conan this excited while everyone in the room including the legendary Steven Wright eating it up makes me feel like I'm eagerly awaiting the tonight show to end so I can hang out with all my late night pals again. So good.

[@cleverusername9369]

Chin up, friend, it'll be alright

[@whitestoneandy797]

Take care, buddy. We're here with you, my friend. God bless 🙏 #john316

You got this!

[@spacenerd9499]

Blessed be ❤ glad you are here

[@weeniehutjunior]

I love Steven.....but seeing him laugh so freely and hard makes me love him more

[@thinkplanetearth2946]

I would imagine that for a comic to get another comic to laugh that hard, with such abandon, has got to be an amazing feeling. I love Conan.

[@theboyx323]

I work in a grocery store and one of my coworkers is on and off open mic comedian, I take great pleasure in making him even chuckle.

[@daveconleyportfolio5192]

That's why everybody wanted to work with Jack Benny. Anyone could make him laugh.

[@constanterratic4252]

I’m embarrassed to admit I have never heard Steven Wright’s material, but now I want to listen to it all. He seems so genuine and thoughtful. It was so refreshing to hear him laugh so much too - no ego or attitude. This is my favorite episode of the podcast! ❤

[@spacenerd9499]

God you won't be disappointed. He's a master of his craft!

[@royjohnson366]

"I came home the other night and discovered that someone had broken into my apartment and stole everything... and replaced everything with exact duplicates." --Steven Wright Cracked me up so hard when I first heard it. Who thinks like this?!?

[@justayoutuber1906]

@@royjohnson366 You forgot the punchline - He asks his roommate who did it and the roommate says "Do I know you?"

[@royjohnson366]

@@justayoutuber1906 Forgot that, or was laughing so hard and loud I didn't hear it.

[@cynthiamason4069]

It's quite wonderful to see Conan take such joy in making Steven laugh♡

[@jerrygaines4720]

There is no better sound than hearing Steven Wright - the world's greatest professional stoic - bursting out it in laughter! 😂😂😂 Well done finding the dragon's underbelly Mr. O'Brien!

[@pteromalid]

I remember watching Wright's appearances on Johnny Carson. My mother and I had tears in our eyes from laughing. His style of jokes was so new and funny. Great memories.

[@eidetecker]

Watching Steven Wright having a damned good laugh is my moment of zen.

[@holzkiewuf]

Conan is such a master. When he’s got Bill Burr or Norm on he’s gotta play the straight guy who is asking the questions and keeping things on task and from totally going off the rails. Now here’s Steven Wright who is deep and seriously contemplative and Conan switches into the wild-card position his guests normally sit in. He knows the balance of how much structure vs chaos needs to be in a good dialogue and he’ll swing from side to side to keep the balance so his guests can just be themselves.

[@videosextra9434]

Real golden observation by you , true master of interview art Conan is 👌 thanks for pointing this master craft of his so accurately yourself ❤

[@toddbridgemanart]

Seeing the two of you together brings me so much joy! Two national treasures just having a good time...

[@alexandermacdougall7873]

Holy crap. Stephen Wright genuinely laughing. I don't think I've ever seen him "break character" before. This is great.

[@JohnMacRae23]

Credit to Conan...... I've never seen Steven laugh so much, really cool side of a comic i've loved for years.

[@bobclavile5653]

Can't get enough of Steven. I'll always remember his Installing a Skylight in his apartment...the neighbors upstairs didn't like the idea!!! GREAT COMEDY.

[@alexanderlindvall8788]

These two are so perfect together. Awesome episode!

[@sethwetzel974]

Best Steven joke ever!!!!! He said he had a brick wall in his place and he put brick wallpaper over it and friends would come to his place and he'd say to them "touch it, it feels real"!!!!!!! THE BEST!!!!

[@gavinwilshaw2312]

Steven Wright changed my life: hearing his material caused me to subconsciously adjust to his wavelength, which in turn inspired me to write new one liners, without copying him. I had no intention of doing anything with this new material, but it kept flowing until I had over a thousand jokes in my file. I decided to try & sell them, but after a while the notion that I would have to perform them myself was unavoidable. I was already a pensioner over 70 but I booked an open mic slot & went on to perform repeatedly for the following five years. Thank you Steven, you changed my life.

[@markb20]

This was pure gold (it's gold Jerry- gold!). Steven's analogy about all the different influences shaping his humour could be applied to everyone's lives. So spot on.

[@postlex]

I love Steven so much, as I do Conan - true legends of the craft. Also, both truly loyal to the spirit and craft of the craft. 😀

[@otherpeople8903]

it's almost adorable to see Steven Wright break his decades long character just to share a laugh with Conan, a comedian many of us in the youngest generation respect.

[@robby53219]

This is a great example of how great conan is as an interviewer.

[@fab.silva1119]

Part of my high school memories revolve around listening to “I have a pony “… pure genius!

[@USbilbo1966]

Sona is Conan's Ed McMann. She adds the perfect amount of comedic background. Steven has always been one of my favorite comedy performers. I saw him on The Tonight Show on his first appearance. Hilarious!

[@InsignificantNick]

I always loved Steven's interviews with Craig Ferguson. Conan really brings out the best in Steven, too!

[@justayoutuber1906]

Making Steven Wright laugh so hard must have been like a drug to Conan.

[@CavanOGrady413]

I had Steven's first album when it came out (on cassette) and I played it constantly. I just loved his sensibility so much. Great to see him here having such a good time with Conan.

[@richvail7551]

Nothing better than someone that’s so intelligent loving it when someone catches them with a great burn. Those are the times I’ve seen Steven be his most animated. Such a pleasure to watch.

[@markdamico4608]

I have never seen Steven laugh ever. That is beautiful to see.

[@squidcaps4308]

I think this is the most i've heard Steven laugh, ever. What a wonderful chemistry they have.

[@tufDuffinchains]

His interviews with Craig Ferguson he laughs

[@DKGifford19608]

I love seeing him excited and giggling.

[@NJC00ki3]

6:10 so I can listen to the light broth and stew conversation over and over again 😂

[@markb20]

I've already replayed it several times, back to the beginning of Steven's influences

[@Nueztoy]

This interview clips have given me life for the last two days.

[@jiggygrand]

I love how quick-witted Conan is in the moment. That was hilarious and Steven Wright's laughter is genuine!!

[@mikec-hamilton]

I went to a store that was open 24 hours. The guy was closing up. I said "hey the sign says you are open 24 hours". He said " not in a row". I still remember that gold. Likely from Carson as well. He's a comic genius.

[@wideglide2153]

Hearing him laugh for the first time for me at least is a trip. I remember first hearing him and saying what is this but leaving sooo entertained. Great very original performer!

[@jessery475]

Steven Wright is such a hero. Love this guy so much. Those bits he used to do with craig ferguson were brilliant and his earliest stuff is some of the best comedy ive seen.

[@alexandraw.4012]

Steven is such a legend.

[@jdspencer60]

The Guy on the Couch was one of the greatest roles of all time as well

[@jaimhaas5170]

Hearing Steven laughing so hard he's fighting to get air...Priceless.

[@rbsnjax]

I must have watched this segment about a hundred times. It's something about seeing Steven laughing hard and enjoying himself.

[@fire1777]

I’ve never saw Steven laugh uncontrollably. That’s a huge feather in the Irishman’s hat.

[@MisterTingles]

Steven Wright is exceptional in general, I especially love when he gets to shoot the ish with other comedians, you get those glimpses of two professionals in their field, knowing how the sausage is made, chuckling to each other on a meta level above the jokes themselves, like two Oz wizards winking at each other from behind the curtain. Conan and Craig Ferguson especially tickled those moments out of him.

[@SaumBodhi]

I discovered him through Billy Connolly, as he was in the middle of one of his stories during a special, he recalled a Wright joke and he told it to the audience, and then credited Steven Wright and praised his comedy before going on.

[@JoeKoenen]

This is the most Conan interview ever. And Steven's joyful raucous laughter in response is beautiful. The best roasting makes everyone look like a fool, and everyone is having a great time ❤❤❤

[@antoniosilvestrojr.]

LOVE. IT. These two guys right here meant so much to me throughout my elementary and high school years. Clean, funny, borderline, genius!

[@j23_stuff]

Such a joyful video. You can tell everyone is having such a great time. Fun to watch

[@kristintripp967]

I didn’t think anyone else’s reaction to Conan could delight me as much as Sona’s does. I was laughing more at Stephen’s reaction than I was at Conan’s shenanigans, lol. 🤣

[@deltabilly1]

I never in my life thought I’d hear a belly laugh out of Steven Wright!

[@delaynejack5661]

Steven Wright is one of the best comedians I've ever heard. He is so creative and unique. His delivery has always been perfection. For the longest time I never saw him smile until he told the dental hygienist and Oreos joke. Long live Bucky Goldstein. 🤠 LOL

[@captainloudpants]

You did it again, just a conversation, two friends and masters of a craft.

[@postatility9703]

Conan-as shown in the "soup" discussion-is one of the masters of theme embellishment,or riffing

[@user-vh2tj4hv6k]

That was really funny. I'm sitting in my car laughing out loud. Yes Steven Wright laughing out loud is extremely hilarious. I'm not really a Conan fan but occasionally enjoy some of his interviews. I remember Steven Wright as a kid. He was absolutely brilliant. I'm 61. . .I had no idea what happened to him. That was a great interview.

[@davidcote2280]

The most precious moment in the history of improv in conversation. Nouns and verbs producing JOY

Amazing. Steven boiled down the phenomena of Pod Casts and the "All about Me" culture into a few words and insane laugh. He's the Greatest.

I saw Steven Wright in Hyannis, Mass in 1986 or so. I have seen most of his stuff but never, ever, saw him laughing so hard. Conan is a beast.

[@titustiger27]

Phil Esposito .. man I remember as a kid, watching the Phil playing.. it had to be in boston, he was sweating like crazy and they were doing a faceoff after he had just scored a goal and they literally stopoed the game.. because the fans were cheering so loud

Steven is a genius, Conan is a buffoon.^^

[@richardbuchanan7124]

I don't think I've ever seen or heard Steven Wright laugh so much or so hard. If you're a comedian and can make a fellow comedian laugh like that, you're pretty damn good. Either that or the other comedian's drunk. Who knows, maybe they're both sauced.

Soooooo cuuuuute

[@teacherofteachers1239]

I'm just catching up. I'm happy to just hear the regular crew, but my two favorite guests have been Steven Wright and Werner Herzog. The idea of sitting either of them down with Conan for a long talk - well, I would have said, "I dunno, man - are they remotely on the same wavelength?" Just brilliant and fun and sweet.

[@glen7228]

Steven Wright was an instant favorite for me.

[@charlie-obrien]

Conan was right about one thing. Steven wright is a palate cleanser. After years of nothing but broad yuk, yuks and wife jokes on TV, he came out of the mist and turned comedy on its side..."There's a fine line between fishing and just standing on the shore like an idiot.".... And after his set is done you feel refreshed and wanting more. His first appearance on the Tonight Show with Johnny might be one of the funniest and revealing stand up sets in the history of the show.

[@rickcook7308]

I watched both of those Carson appearances when they aired. Been a fan since

[@bsquared4604]

I so loved how he made Steven laugh like that.

[@kylemcgill2966]

Steven Wright, The voice on the radio in Reservoir Dogs during the cop torture scene. Stuck in the middle with you.

[@mcvc]

wright being heavily inspired by dali makes more sense than i was prepared for

[@rgrossi]

It’s interesting how Steven talks about listening to comedy in bed on the radio on Sunday nights, that’s how I first heard his material and became a fan. There was a station in Hartford (105.9) that aired stand up comedy at 8 or 9 followed by the Grateful Dead hour and I’d listen to it in bed every Sunday night for a couple years

[@wolfman8449]

Steven Wright, Norm, Louie Anderson, Harland Williams, Hedberg just something interesting about them all where I can never look away, if they are talking on a video I want to listen

[@Ron-d2s]

When George Carlin was starting out he was booked on the Jimmy Dean Show, he did his bit called "The Indian Sargent" they asked him back very quickly he didn't know if he could come up with another TV-ready set so quickly so told him to do the same bit, and he slayed them with the same set.
