They need to release more of these full video podcast episodes
i would pay monthly for them at this point
@@masterninjahh Don't give them any bloody ideas! 😒
@@latheofheaven i've been waiting years to watch this podcast. i don't drive long commutes so audio podcasts are boring to me. i'm fed up at this point so i'm willing to pay. i watched conan for like 18 years and the only way to get my fix is to stare at a wall and listen
It’s a sirus Xm and I think they have the videos on their app, but you’d have to check
they dont care. People asked them constantly, but they ignore. They wont release it even for money, let alone for free. They have all cameras, record everything, but not releasing it.
Maybe they feel like sometimes they dont want to be filmed, IDK... but then again, they are filmed anyway...
Conan’s dad sitting on the front porch telling him everything is going to be ok and work out….followed by a truck coming crashing through the fence is peak comedy.
"Lorne sent a truck up to take Coney out of his Misery". LOL.
can't wait for the inevitable Conan biopic starring Tilda Swinton
Rupert Grint
Frankly, I still think we need "Nighty Night with Conan O'Brien.
Watching Conan, Andy, and Max as a high schooler in the 90's when I was supposed to be asleep are some of my favorite memories.
i can relate to this. he made staying up late worth it. it felt like being part of an exclusive night owl club
Who is Max??
I can watch 70000 hours of this conversation
For all of Conan's comedic talents, he's also a natural storyteller. He can zone in on exactly the level of detail needed to convey a message and either park ideas that are out of order or dismiss them if not needed.
3:55 "that other guy...somebody" that was so satisfying to hear 🙂
And Jessie’s silent *I forget* 👌
Yeah, it's great.
what's the lore behind this
Leno
I loved the “Last Week On Late Night” openings. Those ridiculous scenes made me laugh tremendously. I was a teenager and the humor of the whole show was like me dialed in and written by people who got me.
Conan emerges as the GOAT. I miss his sensibility, and even more I miss his humanity.
I just watched the first cold open along with Conan running out to greet the crowd for the first time. He had a big smile and gave a charming head-bob highlighting his impressive and approachable pompadour as the crowd was going wild. Then I cut back to this interview-at 50:31-and Conan is staring off into the distance saying, " Every once in a while you find photos............someone was taking photos that day......."
I LOVE the fact that they actually named checked the sneaky reporter. Very often anymore when this type of story is being told, people will stop short of identifying such a person, and I understand why, but in this case I think it was appropriate. It was a highly unprofessional thing for that person to do.
What did he actually say? Gonna try to dig it out
@@davidhurtado2725 Frazier Moore said that Conan looked shaky and uncomfortable during the dress rehearsal, probably unsuited to host a talk show; after the first episode and the first month on air, he then criticized Conan for being too giggly, too reliant on self-deprecation and bad at performing pre-planned material. Moore kept comparing Conan's ratings to Letterman's to suggest that the new Late Night was going downhill.
Here's what he said about Andy:
"Even porky sidekick Andy Richter has a certain reverse appeal, coming across as the jerk Conan befriends because if nice-guy Conan didn't, then who would? ...Skeptics were left with only two lingering questions: Can Conan curb that nervous giggle? And will Andy Richter ever say something clever?" ("Conan's first night a worthy effort," 9/16/1993)

@@davidhurtado2725I think Andy talked about it in one of his Inside Conan interviews. There’s at least two but both are worth a listen
@@jackdaw99 gonna check it out. Found many article but none describes what was said
I can't stop laughing about "Nighty Night" 😂
I really hope we get the next installment of this series soon. I love these behind the scenes stories of overcoming the odds.
They laughed at the marketer's "He's tall" marketing, but as someone who was in his target demographic at the time, that's exactly the kind of introduction that appealed to me. And I think that kind of meaningless non-sequitur was a good match with the humor of the show; so not only did it appeal, it also served as a good introduction. I don't know if they went with that, but to me it sounds like that marketing would have hit it out of the park.
this needs to be turned into a movie
has everything it needs except a romantic interest
the bear wearing a diaper is so romantic though
I love Conan so i can play the love interest.
Jordan disagrees in various ways
No romantic interest? Pssh!!! Conan and Andy have had the most torrid TV love affair of all time…so intertwined that they became, “CANDY.” 😆 Also, do you not remember the “Max on Max” bits they used to do where Max Weinberg would make love to another Max Weinberg? Lmfao 🤣
@@whosyodaddy13 Andy the Swedish German?
I was always slightly fascinated by Jeff Ross during whole talk show run. He was barely ever on camera and when mentioned or even in rehearsal clips he always seemed like the complete opposite of everyone else in the studio. It’s pretty cool to hear from him and the stories him and Conan had. :)
anytime Conan called out Jeff on camera I died laughin
Watched your first show, still watching you now. You're our Letterman, no matter how the cookie crumbles, and you can take that to the bank~!
10:14 the man, the legend: Starburns
Conan is more serious when he's with his soldiers in arms.
I've been watching Conan since the very first show. His show started right around when I had graduated from high school, and was starting college. Watching him became a nightly ritual. I've been a huge fan ever since
We demand "Nighty Night with Conan O'Brien!!
Thanks for posting the entire video! Wish you would do this with all guests.
One of my fav eps yet! Love the peak behind the curtain, hope there will be many more
For the record, “Nighty Night” is perfect.
It's 'Perfection'.
Trust me Conor.
You helped so many with depression over the years ❤
AP is dissemination
I love this retrospective, having been a huge fan and enjoying Conan's early years ... part of my story
conans tombstone: "Nighty Night"
Watching this I would like to see an interview with Lorne Michaels. I think it would be cool to get his perspective or storytelling.
I love these videos of y’all explaining the past and how it somehow worked with everything the way it was, I’ve probably seen your first video like 12 times (I wish I was kidding) so more of these are beloved.
So happy to get more than just a clip
03:47 'that other guy' yep. He did everybody dirty! Letterman deserved better, and as did Conan. But all's well!
Robert Smigel is comedic genius - Please Bring back Triumph?! 🐾
25:33 - idk why but the set designer's temper tantrum story reminded me of this old Kids In The Hall "Atrium" sketch (s04e19) ☺
@10:15 Shout out to Star-Burns #SixSeasonsAndAMovie
Been waiting for this one to drop, can’t wait!
I’m so happy this exists
Interesting that they talk about how rearranging 6A would be totally unheard of, as I just read an article about how the Kelly Clarkson Show now shoots in 6A with home base rotated 90 degrees and the seating completely changed.
The amount of work that went to keeping Conan running, and doing it for 5 or more nights, 50+ weeks a year and for decades is astonighing
Over the past couple days since conan was on hot ones ive been binge watching interviews of him and ive come to really appreciate just how much of a comedy geniuse he is and probably the closest thing ive had to an idol in a long time.
(Ive been a fan for years but ive just never really sat down and appreciated him)
Hey, didn’t know this was up on CZcams! hope this means part 3 is in the making, loved both 1 and 2 and have been waiting impatiently since August lol
Great chapter! Looking forward to more!
Please continue!
I've been waiting for this ❤
Please do another one of these!
OMG I've been waiting for this for the longest
Man oh man, am I excited to watch this🥰🥰🥰🥰
These are gold
Fantastic 😍
the thing about Conan's taurus is, it isn't just a regular taurus. it's the SHO. it's a sleeper.
That Taurus is as iconic or more so than the A-Team van or the Batmobile.
Super High Output in Emerald Green Metallic
Oh, it's a sleeper all right.
And it's a Stick Shift! Awesome!
I was relistening to the first part last night. I willed this.
More power to you
I've watched this twice, and it's just so interesting to hear what was going on behind the scenes. To all of us, things were just normal. Sure we knew there was some pressure on Conan, but all of the trials and tribulations are very crazy to hear about.
3:50 "that other guy"
More long form content please 🙏🏼
Part 2 please!!!
I watched the late night show religiously from day 1. I was about 11 years old at the time in 1993. I continued watching Conan through the TBS days. I have no memory of Letterman on Late Night. I guess I was too young to be up that late, although I did occasionally catch Johnny Carson’s Tonight Show.
I really enjoy this, it's like a rags to riches story, really inspiring to be better
As a tangent halfway through, I went and watched the first episode ever. Good stuff, holds up.
These are the juice i run on
I remember watching the Late Night Show with Connan O'brien as a kid and thinking that Max Wineburge looked like my dad, but cooler. I always thought my dad would be so much cooler if he drumed. IDK what this means, but I'm sure it's factored into my life decisions.
Now I wanna see that show!
This will be super interesting just like last installment
This is great stuff.!
I love every part of Conan history.... How??? How for Christ sake are we NOT? ... not, interviewing David Draiman??? Billions
Jeff Ross is a comic genius and deserves all the recognition he gets. ❤
Jeff get off your alt account please
Bit of a non sequitur... but yes, he is the Roast Master General.
Wrong Jeff Ross
“There was nothing wrong with that name until that no talent ass clown started winning Emmies” - Michael Bolton
there's two?!@@tktru
they showed the cold open during a test show Frazier Moore attended. He mentions it in his article from September 11th 1993.
This is great 😄👍 👌 👏👏👏
i really hope it isnt another full year before the next one of these!
YES
So it is possible to post whole episodes? Do this for the best of CONAF!
That was very interesting.
Jeff Ross' pep talk to Conan: "You're going to like the way you look, I guarantee it"
Can we please discuss the Walker Texas Ranger lever.
Nighty Night is a fantastic name.
Is it me or are the volume kind of down? i switched to another video between and damn it was loud...
He shouted at One point when i was Dozing off, i just about had a Heart Attack! Lol. (But i also had Ear buds in).
57:20 Any chance could you upload some of the test shows? I’d be so interested to watch this
Whenever I hear Jeff Ross, I wonder if the episode was recorded in a cave😂 He sounds like Conan's mumbling echo! 🦇🦇🦇
"You didn't like my set? Wellll you're gonna dieee!!!"
Main reason i watched this pod cost so i can know when his coming back to do a tv show
He’s doing an HBO show at some point
Metricks too and if hangover was a person it would look exactly like Conan here.
He Looked real Cool in Part one from 1 year ago! In this one i kiddingly say it looked like a mechanic's Blue Suit. ;))
It's interesting about how network people didn't wanna meddle in the creation of the show. When I got promoted to manager at work a lot of people didn't think I could do it. As a result they threw me on the closing shift with next to no help. I had to do everything. But as a result I learned everything, gained confidence, realized I didn't need anyone else when it came right down to it, and I learned to work with less and less as time went on. So in the end when your boss throws you out to sea because they think you'll probably fail you just gotta keep swimming until you hit shore. Or until a magical Dolphin comes by as whisks you away to a magical rainbow world.
the sound is too low on all of the Inside Conan videos.
Yeah definitely something off at least with this one.
Try Ear Buds. Works for me.
Would really like to see Conan do some podcast segments talking about old skits. Walker Texas Ranger Lever, Frankenstein Wastes a minute of your time, Minty the Candy Cane and my favorite The ghost of Artie Kendall.
Check out the pod this video is from, Inside Conan. They’ve talked about pretty much all of this, often in depth, with the actual writers and performers.
Did he have "Lick it for 10", or was that Jimmy Fallon?
❤❤❤
When is part 2 coming up* C'mon maaaan
This is part 2, but a part 3 would be nice!
You need a daily show, Conan
10:14 Starburns!
Who is that may i ask?
at this point I don't understand why all the episodes are not available in video on youtube. You would gain views and revenue on top of the audio version.
Continuation video?
Here is a guy who knows a lot about a lot of stuff saying, "I don't know anything about anything" 27:46
God I love Conan
❤
Thanks for dressing up
This entire saga could be tailored to be a comedy series.
Wait. How is this video view count starting all over?
where are the podcast clips
The funniest thing I have ever seen was George W. Bush as a Cardbord saying to Conan (when the birdflu was a thing) "You gotta understand Conan..those Birds hate freedom!"
Hi conan
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐!!!
I would WATCH every episode; I don't just listen to anything besides music.
