[@scott8879]

I could just see the tension between their hair.

[@atherahmed6397]

this guy is 1000% more interesting than most celebrities interviewed

[@thexbigxgreen]

I wanted a whole other segment of him throwing various paper airplanes

[@schqrr]

Fr

[@pope400]

I met this guy at my bar. He has cards that say "John Collins: The Paper Airplane Guy" with the Guinness record on the back. Dead serious. Seemed like a cool guy.

[@competitivemaths2773]

Cool

[@schqrr]

Nice

[@QuantumBraced]

Much respect to him for following his dream. The airplanes were super cool.

[@HoryShiitMan]

Wait, I'm confused. Which ones Conan?

[@miksuwaaan7527]

The Trash Man both

[@finsternis1986]

This is actually pretty impressive.

[@1mrbremos]

He looks like Conan's father. But seriously this is some awesome aerodynamics work.

[@bigpanda67]

I love it when the audience appreciates Andy's comments. He's too funny.

[@vnas2012]

This guy is a genius! He created so many different ways to fold and fly a paper plane. Keep up the work!!

[@DissyK]

I thought Ive seen every Conan clip ever. But now this randomly pops up?! A clip from 2013? Whatahell. Love this dude and this kinds of people

[@d2echronic]

Conans fail was so funny. If people havent seen part two it is highly recommended thats why a lot of people are asking for it

[@terryblejokes]

As a paper airplane enthusiast for about 10 years, I began to follow him in 2012 and bought two of his books. John Collins mostly does distance competition and recreational/ performance planes. Unfortunately, I focused on time aloft, so I did not get to use a lot of his planes. In 2020, I invited him to present at my high school's Arts Week.

[@NiteshSharma-ez8ir]

I love his tie .

[@BorysPomianek]

Conan interviewing a slightly older Conan from a parallel dimension - one where he never got the new show and started making paper planes instead.

[@heraldreyes7428]

Borys Pomianek that's exactly what I'm thinking

[@rounaksingh1017]

They were looking like brothers.

[@Asian706]

To all the people asking for part two, just press show annotations. There will be a link that takes you to watch the rest of the interview.

[@wickkidda]

that guy looks like a tiny conan next to conan

[@Cat_with-threatening-aura]

3:05 the moment the guy on john’s left/OUR right got turned into a cat with boomerang I made by John collins

[@Billie4Mozzarella]

Gilderoy Lockhart???

[@fortniteisnotfamous3roblox70]

Billie4Mozzarella YES your right

[@aditya_saha]

@@fortniteisnotfamous3roblox70 lost his memory to become paper airplaner

[@czebastianlegaspi785]

3:05 bro didint hesitate😂❤

[@Jedicake]

this guy is dope as fuck

[@xbasz]

I was quite surprised when I saw that he actually seems like a really fun guy.

[@NPC19191]

Are they twins?

[@spirospapadomanolakis1530]

+Fa Lala maybe!

[@kitkatsnackattack03]

It is an odd obsession, but if you invite the man for an interview on live television, don't mock what he likes. You need to know when to pick your spots Conan. Your a nice guy and I know you're trying to make everyone laugh, but not at the expense of this man's obsession/Career/Life. Just my thoughts though, take it with a grain of salt.

[@SuperGinrummy]

These are the kinds of random interviews that made me love late night on NBC. So effortlessly funny!

[@ZoomZoom8th]

THIS IS ME! I love Origami,flight and paper airplanes.

[@elijohnson9545]

This proves that Conan's alternate Universe Conan is even more badass than regular Conan.

[@sonicase]

PUT THE ENTIRE INTERVIEW IN ONE VIDEO PLEASE

[@baseballplayer1251]

Please, I want to see more of Mr. Airplane Guy!!!

[@ImmortalPhoenix16]

The Wright Brothers would have been proud of this......while they're making one of the first planes to fly the sky.....a grown man is playing with paper airplanes. BRAVO....

[@shayhtfc]

Its like watching 2 brothers chatting

[@wambamactionman]

Oh, Andy.

[@rhiadmarhes9291]

Separated at birth?

[@sunnybeeSue]

from profile it literally just look’s like Conan is interviewing Conan

[@kingBOkake]

Really liked this interview, thought it was going to be boring but was blown away with all the different paper airplanes.

[@DaGreekBeazt]

A 3 YEAR JOURNEY!

[@sst710]

Yeah, it depends on what country you're in if you're outside the US. Most of the time it's on the website for the respective channel it airs on in that county. Something about copyright laws and licensing.

[@destinyawaitsx3]

this is the most interesting person conan ever interviewed.

[@harrymaule2605]

I love Andy

[@Shrimpmd]

this was a great interview and interviewee

[@DrA5H]

THERE ARE 2 CONAN'S!!!! MIND = BLOWN

[@destinyawaitsx3]

At first thought this was gonna be stupid and boring, but it was actually entertaining and interesting

[@blackman6913]

hahaha how is it that he is wearing the same shirt and tie in this interview that he was in the throw ?? o_O lol

[@Neomaxizundweeby]

My guess is that he wears clothes more than just one time.... wtf kind of retarded question is that.

[@311baca]

I noticed the same thing, then I saw him wearing that same tie in lots of other vids :P

[@MrTodoaqui]

Jess B i guess he is a cartoon

[@5ledan]

I’m guessing the art of paper airplanes doesn’t pay that great. Probably doesn’t own multiple suits, ties, etc..

[@gfdffdfg1102]

Guess he never takes his clothes off, huh. Do you really find it funny that he wears his clothes more then once?

[@epicosity234]

Is this like one of those interviews where you interview your past self?

[@WILLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLU]

Came here from the Rock Paper Scissors Guy lol

[@robinosolava]

I can watch it too, and I'm from Slovakia (Europe)

[@hongkongsloth]

That man is wearing the exact same thing in the competition footage shown

[@TheZickoPuppets]

Upload the rest!

[@theyolk25]

LOL I love Conan's expression at 3:53 "I'm a failure..."

[@vizestroowash]

What a cool guy :)

[@guchisushi]

Part 2 is on their website guys...

[@blueeyesaf]

That's actually super cool!

[@theBoredPineapple]

[@jetlorider]

[@loln-word2146]

Lol they look kinda the same, why did they not point that out???

[@guchisushi]

[@Emma-xy7yl]

[@trinity8675309]

[@Nee.]

Click on the Annotation to watch it on Team Coco's website. Totally worth it!

[@johnhammer8668]

coolest guy. We nee people like him more in the world

[@SniperZed]

Hah! What a cool guy, it's great that Conan mixes up the guests every now and again.

[@thetylife]

lol..That cat bit Andy did was hilarious. This guy is awesome!!! Yeah it's just paper airplanes, but still impressive stuff. Makes me feel like a kid again. Was he wearing the same outfit when he won that contest??

[@sst710]

If you're in the US you should just go to teamcoco.com and watch the full episodes.

[@Wallace19711]

Great job!!!

[@Sepharite]

Awesome. Is there a tutorial on how to build these?

[@RedEyeCyclops]

I know how to fold the one that flap it's wings, but I think you should throw it downwards, it will flaps for harder.

[@Amyrachel18]

oh my god, so nerdy and lovable!

[@elvinodidflow]

Conan + Jason Bateman = This guy

[@ndgv2]

that was actually pretty impressive.

[@MickehGee]

amazing stuff!

[@Wallace19711]

You got your Origami in my paper airplanes. I started that in the late 80's. I myself have done some books you should see--Real Paper Airplanes here on KZbin. As a matter of fact Lockheed Martin's logo is placed proudly on the cover of my books. So far Real Paper Airplanes has done The F-117 NIGHTHAWK, F-22 RAPTOR, P-51 MUSTANG, F-16 FIGHTING FALCON and the SR-71 BLACKBIRD. Congratulations on your success. The Howard Hughes of paper airplanes, Alton Wallace

[@sunkarachandrakala4793]

This guy is soooooo brilliant in the world

[@TheZickoPuppets]

He looks like a mix between Conan and Patrick Swayze.

[@3888799]

The first plane my favorite

[@cageynerd]

This was soooo amazing -- I'm going to Central Park this weekend to fly some!

[@samelhombre]

LOL freakin Andy

[@sunnybeeSue]

andy is definitely the “side-kick king"

[@FlintSparkedStudios]

Dude, it's all in good fun. No harm done.

[@mckennakisala4169]

Saw this guy today in concert

[@junkmode]

nice of conan to interview himself for a change

[@XXXloopdeloopXXX]

You can tell this guy wanted someone to ask about his planes so bad

[@tdubb3]

where's part 2, this was surprisingly entertaining

[@NihlusSpectre]

If you miss out on part 2, you can always catch the full episode on Conan's website. Unless ofcourse it is blocked in your country, which would be a bummer.

[@d.reidenwright7169]

That is freakin' SWEET.

[@MarvinMarbles]

Jeah, just like that beer guy Michael Jackson :D

[@TheFuktastic]

Two Conans

[@150scar]

I remember I made a flaping paper airplane back in 8th grade by just doing random folds It was BADASS!

[@PanamaPete]

thats just amazing... im starting my research I wanna do those with my son...!!

[@YangBalanceYin]

This guy is so cool in a weird way lol.

[@donzaloog1400]

That was pretty cool.

[@VersusSEED]

If you google ""The Paper Airplane Guy" John Collins Interview" part2 will be one of the links, click on it, it'll take you to the teamcoco site where you can watch part 2

[@EeNnDdRrIiTt100]

what's the name of the red plane that flies up and comes back and can somebody tell me how to make that pls

[@MoooseBlood]

Easy just get a sheet of paper and fold it.

[@lowspeak]

yeah ive been looking for how to fold that plane too :(

[@Bagunka]

watch his videos.

[@infamouspanik1772]

he has 2 kinds of boomerang planes, boomerang one which goes into circle and number 2 which flies up turns upside down and comes back, so search for boomerang planes and u see vid of him explaining how to fold them

[@AbigialDubon]

kzbin.info/www/bejne/gJm8i6xnqsx8abM

[@OddOneOut665]

Well that was pretty rude of the Forever Guest to take away Simon like that. I mean, he CLEARLY was a big fan of Paper Airplanes himself, so why deprive him of meeting such a fascinating guest?

[@argumentativeindian8638]

Will part 2 of this interview also be uploaded?

[@Clemdoe3]

part two is on the team coco website
