the best episodes are when Conan becomes the guest of his own show. Arnold's energy could carry the podcast for days

[@francescaa8331]

It's true. Conan recently mentioned that, when he was developing a style of humor, he learned that his ability to react to people was his strong suit. So it's a perfect setup when somebody funny like Arnold takes the lead.

[@gryndyl]

That's pretty much how Arnold is. When he walks into the room he's the main character.

[@TheDylls]

​@@francescaa8331 Crazy to think that that's CONAN'S strong suit... And he managed to find Andy! Someone arguably even better at it, in a sense ❤❤

[@francescaa8331]

@@TheDylls that's true. A good observation. Amazing about Andy- that he has such great comedy chops, and even had his own TV show once. Conan wanted somebody with a lot of skills to be at his side.

[@cconnon1912]

“I will knock you over backwards right into your own baby poop!” Was Arnold’s favorite Hanz and Franz line according to Dana Carvey.

For someone originally typecast as a meathead, it’s incredible how quick-witted and intelligent Arnold is. This dude feels like he could somehow fit in with Monty Python. And to have done this much as a non-native English speaker!

[@ssl3546]

Bill Burr’s bit about Arnold is so true… people love to make fun of him and make him out to be dumb but he’s one of the smartest, sharpest, and surprisingly funniest people out there, even still in his 70s.

[@jissanhuq3792]

He’s like Shaq, they actually got smarter, more witty and talented and humble as they got older, which is so rare.

[@MaMastoast]

@@jissanhuq3792 I dunno bout Shaq, but im guessing there were prolly smart all along but only got to express it later in their lives because their stature made people view them as brutes early in their careers.

Arnold would have made a wonderful PotUS.

[@shane864]

@@jissanhuq3792 Shaq was always that way bro, white people didn't take big black men seriously until enough of them were allowed airtime that it became impossible for this hyper racist ass country to admit that they were just people too, and some of them were wildly smart and talented in addition. I watched my parents and all their friends realize their racism was stupid in the 90's because of Jordan and Shaw and Will Smith and James Avery and Avery Brooks etc etc. Same people now under the spell of Trump and Fox News pretending that there's no such thing as systemic racism as though their kids don't remember our childhood. It's wild. But yeah, go watch young Shaw interviews- he was always smart and funny as hell. If anything he's less sharp now bc of the accumulated pain of his sister and Kobe. Dude is a straight up American legend.

Arnold is so damn good with people. His story is incredible. It's wild how great his movies still hold up as well.

[@oz2011]

Yes, Predator is one of the greatest action movies ever. Terminator, True Lies. From Terminator to Twins! Too many to mention. What a legend.

[@markadams7046]

Well, I hate to burst your bubble, but there was that first movie he made called Hercules In New York. I wouldn't say that that one has held up. But I think one major reason that one failed was because they dubbed his voice.

[@necrosadotor]

People like it ironically, so it's not all bad haha. Also it's available without dub@@markadams7046

I had no idea Arnold was this quick and genuinely funny. He’s so comfortable riffing and improvising, you’d think he does this regularly or has his own podcast.

[@eROniZeR]

go look at Arnold in hes prime there are some interviews and just him hanging out with people. dude was allways like that.. cracking jokes, speaking in a intellectual manner, omega high charisma, he is a natural at so many things.. multi talented and very socially intellectual.

[@SnoopyReads]

He's been an entertainer for 50 years, and did several comedy movies

[@Luschan]

@@SnoopyReads Acting is a completely different skill than being entertaining in an unscripted setting, that’s why it’s surprising. Many actors are amazing or hilarious delivering written dialogue but have no personality in a setting like this.

The 90s won't be complete without Arnie. This ep is so epic

[@Starlesslight]

90's? To be fair he was on the downside of his career by then. T2 was probably his biggest hit and that came out in the early 90's, but everything went downhill from there as far as being blockbuster successes. Most everything he's best known for came out in the 80's. While I liked movies like Eraser, True Lies, and Last Action Hero, if you ask somebody about Arnold they are going to bring up Conan, Predator, or Terminator, which started in the 80's. Total Recall and probably his most successful comedy Twins also came out in the 80's.

As a boy growing up in Austria I saw the episode where Arnold ridiculed Conan's body when it aired (I must have been around 14 then). It was one of the funniest things I had ever seen at that point in my life and it burned itself into my young, impressionable brain. I actually couldn't believe what I was seeing, because up to that point I had known Arnold from dubbed action movies only. Witnessing him in this context, speaking in that thick Austrian accent was surreal.
