Matt Gourley Wasn’t Supposed To Be On The Podcast | Conan O'Brien Needs A Friend

[@sew75962]

But also, Gorley is the bridge between Conan and Sona. Cause he’s got the history and old timey knowledge that lets him pick up on a lot of Conan’s references. He also has some comedy and improve background, and the wealth of podcast experience. But he also is backup for Sona and has more pop culture knowledge. The three together are just fantastic. I love the intros and outtros just as much as the interviews. Summer s’mores, for example, is something I look forward to every year now. And I really hope the next one is at Conan’s house.

This reads like it was written by AI lmao

[@brettsmith5062]

I hope the next Summer S'mores is at a shady zoo that gives Conan the chance to fight a pack of coyotes.

[@ladnil]

Gourley has been podcasting since before anybody invented the word podcast.

[@kcguy8864]

How tf do u misspell Gourley when its in the fkn title 🤦‍♂️

[@emu_warrior]

I love these three so much. Never stop.

[@mi5anthrope]

It tracks that one of the most wholesome clips is dominated by fart talk. It can't be an accident that - despite seemingly being background folks that rarely appear - the entire staff is somehow funny in their own way. I love these three and I love these other three and more

[@bernlin2000]

Conan Can't Stop!!!

[@florete2310]

Man, me too. But it's also the entire team they built over the years. It's also Bley, Eduardo, Adam, David - all the staffers and writers who are dropping in every once in a while. Love this podcast - and it's nice to watch that whole thing grow and bring joy and laughter to some many people. And then I have to say: That spin off with Ted Danson - also a very great addition. Ted is a superb interviewer🧡

[@whothehellknowsson]

If they stopped I would be devastated like never before.

[@EuanH91]

This is the reason I love this podcast. What started as just Conan, his assistant and a producer doing a podcast around celebrity interviews has turned into one of my favourite ever comedy trios. I love the interviews, but it’s the three of them together I tune in for.

[@FPAlpha]

What makes it also so entertaining is that they are not bound by broadcasting standards and customs so they can really let it rip and boy do they!

[@woodley91406]

If the guest is not interesting, I just listen to the intro and outro. That's how powerful these three are.

[@LiberArchivum]

"Gimme some beans.... I've got work to do." This season's Sona t-shirt

[@florete2310]

"Do all of us have a fart mic - or do we have one and pass it around?" "Okay, I'm calling it."😂😂😂

[@Garrettdx1988]

If they ever decide to turn this show into 'Conan Doesn't Need Any More Friends', and it's just the whole podcast crew hanging out talking with no real direction, I wouldn't be upset

[@sofiesummerbradley]

This is a great idea! Hopefully Bley sees this comment and pitch it to Adam and Conan

[@michaelwai2092]

Honestly, I usually listen to the banter bit and quit when the guest comes on. Not too different from only watching Conan's monologues/desk bits. I also prioritize Needs a Fan over celebrity episodes.

[@HelpRat1729]

Conan’s “JESUS!” quip at 8:29 killed me xD

[@donskuse2194]

I laughed out loud at that one. I live alone, so when I laugh out loud I count that as real comedy 😂.

That tiny fart at 11:58 just killed me 😂😂😂

[@TheOrlandoTrustfull]

I've been listening to Matt on podcasts for over a decade. He was the PERFECT choice. They often briefly mention that he has some experience with podcasting, but don't go into great detail. He is hilarious. Is amazing at improv and doing characters and is the perfect foil for Conan.

[@MichaelMcCarthy]

Really neat insights here. As a listener early on I remember being surprised how much Gourley was in the mix, but also really enjoyed it. Then coming back to the podcast over the last few months - seeing how integrated Gourley is has been great to see. Really fun dynamic between everyone on the show.

[@justgonzothegreat]

I won't be grieving too much if the celebrity interviews stop, but if the three chums stop doing these segments, I will be in tears.

[@pinverarity]

Conan has always been bad at interviewing. He only has two modes: cringe-inducing obsequiousness or flailing bit-forcing. Every so often he lucks out and gets somebody who can fall into a bit, but more than half the time it’s just hyperbolic flattery with no natural end. It’s always better when it’s just him and the Chums.

[@justgonzothegreat]

@@pinverarity there is a bit of truth in your comment although harshly put. I have grown slightly tired of Conan's "hyperbolic flattery" which excludes no one.

[@sergioventura2595]

That god Gourley was included I wouldn’t have known so much pippy longstockings lore without him!

I find myself happy and laughing without effort while watching this show. And the key? Geniune friendly pickering of wholesome people.

[@kragger99]

This is the proof that Conan is a comedic genius. He brings out the funny in everyone he surrounds himself with. You can tell by watching the podcast vids that Conan, Sona, and Matt know they have something special - they can feel it deep inside, and the viewers also see/feel that special thing. Keep up the great work team! Also, great work to all the people behind the scenes that also are needed to show us this special thing.

[@maggieholt6778]

People don't know that Matt Gourley is a podcast pioneer, and it shows.

[@outofabook]

Yeah he is one of the true O.G.s and he has a lot of experience in front of the mic. Some really awesome podcasts people should check out. But he also has done a lot of editing of podcasts that he wasn't a host for, so I can see why Gourley (and Conan) thought he was just being hired to do editing, and help produce the show to show Conan how's it done since Conan was green at podcasts.

[@ruchikajadav928]

This podcast is truly amazing-I can’t get enough of it! I haven’t enjoyed a show this consistently for such an extended period of time.

[@joshs8685]

I think they just naturally gravitated towards a well established formula that works because they have good instincts.

[@davidfountain6110]

Kind of what I was thinking. Less a deliberate attempt to follow a “template” and more of a natural result of what happens when you say, “let’s give an extremely talented late-night talk show host broad creative control over his own podcast.” Conan just has a knack for creating funny, entertaining conversations.

[@jonholbrook8821]

The way Sona points to Conan at 0.30 is too cute. Like a sister ratting out her brother when mom gets angry 🤣

The way they all broke at the end with the puny fart I DIED. I kept rewinding so I could watch each one of them react to it. 😂

[@MaxineShaw_84]

7:00 Before Conan went into detail, the image was so instant and vivid in my mind; the sound I made set off my neighbor's dog.

[@keithwong2717]

[@mattmays9063]

Life really is stranger than fiction-of course it had to end on a hilariously underwhelming fart. This crew just accidentally breathes out comedy gold, and we’re all here for it. The unscripted moments like these are what make Team Coco so uniquely brilliant!

[@TheOrlandoTrustfull]

I love that they are ridiculing the idea of having a "Fart Mic" when Christina P had one on Your Mom's House and genuinely thought it was a good idea.

[@JITCompilation]

I think the first season was such a pure example of this; Conan used to savagely rip into Matt for being nerdy and into Sona for being Sona and it was endlessly entertaining. Sona would usually play both sides but then jump to Matt’s defense when Conan really started going after him; episodes with just Conan and Matt just felt like an unfair fight and something was definitely missing. I still love the podcast but those moments were absolute gold and I still go back and rewatch the first season every so often.

[@dowhatiwantc7637]

This is very timely. Earlier this week I was wondering the same thing.

[@badad0166]

I've always been aware of the "Morning Zoo" layout for the show, but, like they share here, they don't stick to their lanes or hierarchy, mostly because Conan is secure and Sona knows she will not be fired for having an opinion. And Matt is, well, Matt. Quietly waiting to capsize the whole ship. Morning Zoo's tend to be more guy-centric and "Locker Room" (insert fart joke here). Also, no "Time, Traffic, Weather and School Closings"

[@abhishekpratapnigam]
