    I remember Deon from wayyy back as a young comic, he had the most genius bit where he would walk on stage with a notebook, if a joke killed he would circle it in his book and get an extra laugh, if a joke bombed he would cross it out and get a laugh that way. Completely a win/win scenario

    sometimes people dont get it ...someone needs to tell that the conan is no lesser than other hosts...

      Pretty sure no one ever said he was lesser than the other hosts. Especially right now in 2018. IMHO, he's the best late night host atm (on par with Norton), and he's all times best for remotes.

    Conan seemed slightly comfortable taking in all those complements. You're a good man sir - take it all in like you breathe fresh air.
