I just want one person to figure out why I included the Neutral Milk Hotel in the edit Almost every other song in this video has been figured out in the comments
-
As an English person I humbly and sincerely apologise on behalf of my country for inflicting James Corden upon the world.
-
Conan is hilarious, still watch his YouTube all the time for a good laugh.
-
Another thing I love about Conan is that his humour appeals to all audiences. I’m 18 years old and absolutely love him, especially his travel segments, my dad, who recently turned 50 also loves Conan. I think no matter how old you are or what generation you are apart, most will find Conan funny
-
conan is it. he is the person who adapted through strikes and struggles, and he is still going. has everything: a successful yt channel and community, and an extremely amazing podcast AND a new hbo show to come out soon. he is the funniest, stupidest guy out there and so many people love him.
-
Late Night died with Conan's departure.
-
Conan is the only one adapting to the times in this age. He’s going to HBO Max soon, he has great YouTube bits, a very great podcast. He has great humor that even me, a teenager, can crack up to, even tho he’s the oldest person in late night now. Conan is easily one of the best late night hosts of all time.
-
I miss Craig Ferguson, Man has so much personality that you want to incorporate bits and pieces into your own.
-
That’s why Conan has always been my favorite talk show host. His remotes are all gold. Hopefully he continues with his “Conan without borders” segment.
-
The biggest difference is Conan is a real human being. The clips of him traveling the world and goofing off with little kids are so endearing.
-
What's interesting about Conan is how hes spent so much time highlighting his staff, they've become characters of the show. Jordan, Sona, Aaron, Deon. I enjoy bits with them more than celebrities.
-
Conans an underrated conversationalist imo Seriously good at picking up on different cues and reacting
-
I think that Craig Ferguson has to be mentioned more. He was absolutely revolutionary and has the funniest improvised interviews I’ve ever watched. Criminally underrated
-
So basically Conan is just naturally funny and naturally cares for people
-
I honestly clicked on this video just to hear about how great Conan is
-
Conan O'Brien is my favorite. He's the greatest of all time. He's funny, very talented, charismatic while also being down to earth and genuinely a nice guy. His chemistry with his guests is excellent. He manages to be funny while also not interrupting and distrupting his guests. The best.
-
Big respect to Conan, but Craig Ferguson is the GOAT in my heart. He made it look so effortless and he struck me as completely sincere.
-
Conan has always been my favorite. He is legitimately funny, and all around a really nice guy.
-
I love how we skipped Jay Leno completely.
-
Conan doesn't have his degree from Harvard for nothing. Man is a pure genius.
