The irony of and for all great comedians, and Conan nails it with his "you shouldn't laugh at that", is that their is an insecurity or even overwhelming sadness within. What a great presentation and Conan is Top Shelf material without a doubt.

[@sofiesummerbradley]

Thank you for this! I can relate to some of what Conan has gone through. Im in this stage in my career where i feel like i am such a failure. Work is stressing me out constantly and I feel like everything i do is a mistake. It’s a relief knowing that even great successful persons go through the same.

When I saw this I took a double take because I was so excited! Congratulations on achieving such a prestigious invitation. You truly do have an incredible combination of insight, intellect, and humor, that I will always admire and and aspire to have in my own way. :-)

[@Zetsuke4]

not really, they have lots of people there. they dont really know who he was either.

[@marissa0379]

I love you Conan!!!! I was watching his first year when i was young too. My older sister was 10 years older than me and would have to watch me when our dad traveled for business. So her stoner friends would all come over and we always watched Conan. They were super high but i was not and I loved it🥰 Now my kids watch him with me. A comedy legend, big time.

[@keeganwozniak]

Conan is one of the funniest public speakers ever. His physical comedy adds to his verbal comedy talent brilliantly

[@u216]

I have watched this many times. I am so impressed by Conan’s honesty, talents and humor. 💕

[@TomasGO85]

I mean: obviously he owns the set and spoke like at his show, but still the level of grounded skills he deploys is unbelievable.

14:32 - hes talking about jimmy kimmel 14:44 - hes talking about jimmy fallon

[@AlexMartinez-1316]

Those are two different ppl?

[@DanVerley]

@@AlexMartinez-1316 yes. They both host late night talk shows he completes with.

[@_Maxten]

not just kimmel, sheesh i mean most of em, especially colbert

[@helicocktor]

Eh. Kimmel isn't really centered around politics either. I'd say that's more Trevor Noah or Colbert. Jon Stewart was sometimes that too but he pulled it off really well.

[@_Maxten]

@@helicocktor yeah, its only kimmel sometimes

[@zem69666]

Conan is The Greatest Late Night Show Host of All Time, and That's a Confident Sentence...

[@colasplosion797]

CONAN IS A KING!!

[@hubbs5759]

Conan is just one of those people that I could sit and listen to forever. There aren't many. This felt like it was over so quickly.

[@MH-yu7gw]

I love how he could have acted defensive about the aging question and instead gave an honest and inspirational answer. Love him

[@AkSamurai69]

Conan, you've been an inspiration to me for decades. You're silly, funny, but very wise and brilliant. Thanks for all your work and laughs over all the years.

[@adamdalton3700]

I heard some of these stories before, I never get tired of it. It still feels fresh and funny; what an amazing life. He’s been an integral inspiration my whole life

[@justanotheryoutubefan8070]

I agree 100%!!

[@sinlokemp]

I am so glad Conan could dissect how the comedic landscape has shifted into two extreme divides.

[@KH-lw5ze]

I like how he basically dissed Colbert and Fallon but in a nice way lol.

[@lipokyanger7685]

Conan is definitely genuine, funny and unfazed by corporate trends. The best talk show/late night host right now.

[@misusatriyo]

conan is just an all around good guy. i love him.

[@PassiveDissimulation]

You’re a saint Conan, pretty much the only comedian I truly enjoy. I “endured” many performances, with other comedians over the years with my family. But you, truly make me laugh in times when I have no feelings of happiness. I TRULY enjoy your rhetoric, always leaves me with a smile.

[@jessicagoco7782]

This video played automatically, didn't think I'd finish the whole hour's worth. Really good insights from Conan 💯

I remember first seeing this video when it had been up for like one or two hours, and now this must be the fourth of fifth time I'm watching this in it's entirety. Just wanna say that watching Conan has got me through so much... Even today, when I was feeling down, had a lot of things eating at me, I trusted this man enough to say "lemme load up his video, he'll make everything alright." And I'd have to say yes, he did make everything alright, I'm feeling much better now...

[@noehctuccmliw]

I never connected with Conan O'Brian previously. I now appreciate his being and identify with his 'message'. He really is quite the guy!
