Kumail Nanjiani Was Tempted To Cancel His CONAN Appearance | CONAN on TBS

[@Thomas-Jay-Baker]

Ironically the show that Kumail cancelled was one of Conan’s best in years. His improvised monologue was golden.

[@abhinaysreeram5828]

🤧🤧🤧

[@CleymanYT]

Do you know how I can find this show? When did it air?

[@kingpickle8569]

Cleyman just KZbin search “Conan Kumail”

[@normagruden]

He should improvise more it really was the best and Sona was such an awesome guest!

[@johnl9015]

Was that the one with Sona as Conan's guest?

[@shmookins]

Cancel, but then show up five minutes late into the segment only to apologize that you can't stay and leave again.

[@patreekotime4578]

Someone else has definitely done that gag. Back when he was at NBC they would often have people just come by to say hi who were in the building doing SNL.

[@shivamjaiswal439]

"Apologies, I ran out of time"

[@Nergal_Slayer]

Lmao

[@BlackPlated]

Kevin Nealon did something similar on Conan where he has to go early but he can't because of the audience's affection. kzbin.info/www/bejne/q2TXq4SfZ9idfs0

That's exactly why Andy's so great. The line was so stupid, but it worked because it was Andy who said it, and said it like he did.

andy's one lines are really amazing! he isn't there just to fill... he really help conan to carry the show

No need to apologize Kumail, you gave us one of the greatest gift ever, a Sona interview.

Dr. Loomis A bunch of celebrities take roids, they’re paid to do so in order to get bulked for their appearance in a show/movie. Still takes hardwork

[@Usario321]

PutOutMyFireWithGasoline it’s not about your “opinion” man, it’s scientifically impossible to do what he did without Steroids. You can’t argue against it. Of course it takes dedication and hard work but it ALSO takes steroids to achieve that in such little time. It’s like saying “in my opinion gravity doesn’t exist”, that’s not an opinion, that’s just being in denial of reality

Like just a little cut and fit is enough. You don't have to be ripped man. of course its still a lot of hardwork even with the roids but like ... I would much prefer a normal looking human with all the hardwork, just without the roids. Why do we put these celebrities on these high pedestals and put this kinda pressure on them. :/ I mean look at zac efron.

even his jaw got muscles

[@dirtmcgirt6531]

yes yes its das roids

[@hammadali594]

@@dirtmcgirt6531 He could have just lost body fat around his jaw so it appears more muscular. Same thing as a 6-pack, you don't even need to work it out as long as you lose body fat, it'll show. However, some steroids like trenbolone do cause the jaw to grow. Could be either or, but if he was on tren then he should've been much bigger than he is now.

The thing is missing the show would be a great bit because the set up is perfect. It would be a Matt Damon jimmy kimmal feud but much nicer. Because of instead of wanting to murder each other to get on/off the show it would be more of an apologetic reason that could wild significantly. You could have realistic excuses like the original that tied him up or something waking like literally being tied up

Conan should start canceling guests from appearing just so he can do more episodes like the canceled Kumail bit, that was better than what could have been a basic interview.

Lost a lot of respect for Kumail after that. Doubt he would have pulled that with a network late night show.

is he on test? his voice seems to have changed drastically

[@rockerseven]

It could've ended up like the opposite of the Kimmel/Damon ongoing gag lol. Once every couple weeks Conan announces him as the guest, then at the last minute he had to cancel, so they bring out a different surprise guest.
