[@joeyisabsb1]

I agree, im glad others can tell that this dude is a genius just by the way he responds. I was a fool thinking that just because he has an accent that he might not fully understand metaphors said here in the states but not only does he understand, he's able to twist them in a way to where they are a little inaccurate just to give it a little extra comedy spice. He's incredibly smart.

It is still so, so strange to me that THE Conan O'Brien went there! Every time I go for a walk in this area I have to think about how insane that is.

Absolutely not hating on him btw. he deserves all of the attention this has gotten him, but it's still funny because I remember the first time Conan introduced him like he was a German mega star, so I google him and nothing in German even comes up.
