Timothy Olyphant’s First Appearance | Late Night with Conan O’Brien

[@aldrinkenong8854]

And that's the last time he wore a suit on Conan's show.

[@Chu9947]

lmao

[@danielrose8305]

I mean he kept tugging at the sleeve. I've never seen him that nervous before.

[@ludmillagutomo]

💯 hahahaha..but once he wore the same outfit like conan & wore it better too 😂😂😂

But the same laid back sitting style. 😄😄

[@duket.8598]

jejejeje. I know right. But he was drowning in it, anyway, so......

[@captainlou9677]

Funny how the crowd doesn't know what to make of Timothy's delivery back then. He hasn't changed very much since then but today the crowd "gets" him and he has better reactions.

[@360.Tapestry]

nah. he has definitely improved

[@Hakunamatata67301]

Exactly

[@rockfordlines3547]

He comes across as arrogant. He smiles a lot more now and delivers his lines slower so he seems more goofy than prideful.

[@rjkore5229]

Plus he always drinks from a mug as a prop to aid timing & smooth over awkwardness... lol

[@GokulOnFire]

People want that certificate to express themselves freely. A joke delivered better by a newbie will get less laugh than the same joke delivered not as good by an established person. People need approval. Social anxiety & sheepishness is a plague.

Around this same time, Olyphant was on MTV Live with Carson Daly and he tells Carson Daly a story and mentions his wife. A minute later Carson asks him, "So now that you're in Scream 2, is it a lot easier to pick up women?" and Olyphant was like, "I literally just told you I was married." Classic TV that will never be on KZbin.

[@BrokenGodEnt]

I will watch this one day.

[@beatnikmary]

That says a lot about Tim Olyphant AND about Carson Daly.

[@justabruin]

I remember that. I had it recorded somewhere as I was obsessed with any Scream actor's apperances in the 90s

It’s funny everyone is saying how much their chemistry is immediate. To me it looks like a young, quirky guy who’s maybe a little nervous and a talk show host who isn’t 100% certain how to take this guy.

[@jennhoff03]

I completely agree!

[@bernlin2000]

To be honest, Conan was kinda stiff with a lot of guests in the 90s...took him a long time to become a natural interviewer.

[@micahclawrence]

That's probably true, but I think more Conan not having his sea legs yet.

[@ChristIsKingPhilosophy]

I see the same thing, but Conan liked that he was honest and forthright, and trusted him because of that, when all he sees are phonies 24 7

[@beatnikmary]

Yes, that's their chemistry!

It's like first date jitters, so precious. I don't think Conan knew yet how much he needed TO in his life... Few can make HIM shut up and laugh endlessly.

[@ronhalliday7304]

Watching this almost 25 years after, it's really neat to see how little Timothy appears to have changed in interviews. Laidback, quips and wisecracks, but not too concerned if everything hits with the audience.

[@lulumoon6942]

Yeah, but with the right combo of legal or illegal drugs and experience/age related settling down. Guys this comfortable with themselves are chick catnip, I think that's a lesser known reason why they dig older men.

[@ArtFlunky]

I love that even as he was breaking out, Timothy was over Hollywood. He’s a grateful human being who takes nothing too seriously.

[@srxtvnf]

i dont think hollywood is that impressive when you're descended from the Vanderbilt family.

[@ArtFlunky]

@@srxtvnf That may be, but he doesn’t carry a superior attitude and points out that the adulation actors receive is silly.

[@srxtvnf]

@@ArtFlunky do you know him personally? if so fair enough, but i find it strange when people think they know actors based on 5 minute interviews of them promoting a movie. It's like watching a car commercial and thinking its anything more than selling a car.

[@ArtFlunky]

@@srxtvnf I’ve seen him interact with Conan for years, but I don’t know he came from money. But it s doesn’t matter because I believe both rich and poor can be decent or insufferable.

[@MerkinMuffly]

Olyphant’s hairline made an amazing comeback in the following years.

[@brucewayne2184]

It looks quite the same for the hairline, he just has a different hairstyle now.

[@drewtin4654]

Check out a more recent vid with him on conan, hairline is exactly the same. it's the hair product he's using, looks like it's clumping too many strands together. this type of product is better if you have thick hair, plus his haircut is short :p

[@DarthPeruzi]

@@drewtin4654 happy new year!

[@symbiosisai]

If that's how receded his temples were in 97, no way they would stay the same this long, he's definitely had some work done

He's my favorite guest ❤️ Also, I remember when Conan aired in Europe which was my first encounter with his brilliance. When I was a child I spent my summer vacations in Sweden and our neighbor let us watch Swedish TV all the time. You could watch Conan and Jay Leno during the day, also a ton of other American shows (all in English with Swedish subtitles). Great times! I instantly loved him but sadly I never figured out if I could watch Conan also in Germany 😔 By the way, the only person who could compete with Timothy is Joel McHale. I always wanted to see the both of them together with Conan - a dangerously funny combination! At least, I was REALLY surprised and amazed that Timothy and Joel met on Santa Clarita Diet. Still bugs me that Netflix canceled the show...
