NYC before 9/11, Young Conan, What a nostalgia....

[@zirak93-2]

And the twin towers. Good times. Sadly, I never saw them in live.

[@adrianfajar917]

also before covid shenanigans

[@marfaxa]

I heard somewhere that there were several years before 9/11. Like 2-5 years.

[@charlesvonsneedinghamiii2026]

yea better times before those dancing israelis. dont look into that.

[@connormclaughlin6955]

I too like nostalgias

[@DannyKlimt]

I start to believe, that Eisenhower mug is as old as the real Eisenhower

This was my first episode of Conan. I was 12, about to turn 13. I must have watched every episode for the next ten years after this one.

[@nathanieldrain907]

My first one was the audience full of kids. I was hooked since.

[@ididnothither]

Glad they're giving Conan a break from nightly interviews and giving us more OG content that predates most of us here XD

[@pravakarpatra5132]

I think he's getting ready to get back on to the usual show as the restrictions are being lifted...

This is so damn silly. I miss Late Night so badly.

[@davidrivas2679]

Same. I really miss the experiment show set like this one. I miss the skits. But the new show is a good show

[@allycat2836]

The og content is classic conan. Way ahead of his time. Just because it was before you were born doesn't make it not worth watching. I enjoy watching this in quarantine as well.

[@jqyhlmnp]

Conan and Craig were the only ones trying

[@CB-pf5lb]

Wouldn't it be cool if Conan was the first to host a late night show in space?

[@daveteves]

Conan was the first to host a late night show in North Korea!

[@jeeperscreepersballs1107]

Space couldnt handle Conan

[@kellyberry]

Did u know while LateNight was Hosted by David Letterman there was an episode he did while aboard a ship?

[@Possiblechange]

We are in space…technically

[@gonzopetrov2105]

He'll certainly live long enough to be able to do this

Holy Crap, they had that manatee costume back then already. Bill Tull really never throws away anything.

Dang, I just saw a boat on a boat on a boat. This is quality Late night tv.

[@angelrodticker457]

More shows, please. This is my tween/teenage years all over again. The good times!

[@-IIIII-IIIII-]

6:50 « BOAT » That was a crappy T-Shirt 😂

[@pyrof1lth]

I love how that was the point of the shirt, it didn’t try to show how they had a show boat with some crazy artwork or anything.

[@grapesofwraith1066]

I love that the crowd just started chanting "BOAT" afterwards!

[@lukenaoumovitch4477]

That was the point 😂

[@hugonunes5088]

Out here in Portugal in 2021 still waiting for Conan’s arrival… Whoever knows a little bit about Portuguese history, knows he’s not the first one we’ve been waiting for to arrive on a boat on a misty morning…

[@LastbutNotFirst]

"we promise this will near air" hahahah. appears worldwide on 2020.

[@big10inrecord]

I think if he'd promised it wouldn't air until 2020 he would have been okay with that too

[@emmachoplin6761]

Crazy when he was talking about how he wants a stalker too and years later he got a creepy dude one

[@blipblub2419]

apparently he had already been secretly stalking him at this point

[@Fryinberg]

Just to see the Twin Towers in the opening brings up so many emotions.

[@ynotw57]

I remember watching it when it aired...and have completely forgotten about it. Thanks, Team Coco.

[@ttacking_you]

Janeane Garofalo was quite adorable.

[@Wouldntyouliketoknow1111]

Thanks Conan, this throwback was just what we needed ❤️

[@stevelang6083]

Love it ! Full episodes are great

[@viva_8887]

20:55 that's foreshadowing right there cause Conan I believe got his stalker and it was pretty bad

[@MarceloKuroi]

I stopped the video and scroll down for a post about that.

[@jacobsims8307]

Im so glad to see this clip of Conan hosting the show from a boat in 2022. What a legend.

[@PatrickRain0512]

Fun Fact: German Late Night Host Harald Schmidt "borrowed" the idea of the boat show in September 2003.

[@sindelar10]

Yeah, the Schmidt Show was always lets say influenced by Conan and above all David Letterman.

[@tanja6333]

There’s even an episode where conan gets to meet harald schmidt. When he was there he spoke a one of the executives and told her that schmidt stole many of his jokes

[@mediocreman2]

Yeah that guy steals a lot. But let's be honest, Germans aren't known for their senses of humor. So it makes sense they have to steal it.

[@Rnyargd]

I literally remember watching this on the Friday it aired. I was 15 at the time.

Such a great performance everyone! What a great stage design, too.
