I feel genuine compassion and pity towards people (apparently mostly panda experts and guidance counselors) who have a hard time understanding her humour.
People don't realize how many letters Dr. Suess got from Lorax experts saying they don't actually talk to trees, and the cat experts telling him they don't wear hats.
This is the first time I came across this woman (non-American here!). This is by far the most funniest interview I have ever watched. Gonna look for her Netflix show now.
This was a great interview, I like her and now I want to write children books. I really agree about the home thing, I have to be able to relax and I don't relax when there's other people around. I go out as little as possible, and even then I just spend time with my dog.
@@aabracadavra That's because she's not a comedian... she's a humorist. There's not many of them around anymore. Actually, that's what Andy griffith started out being.
I adore Fran Lebowitz. Don't ever change. I would love to get a coffee with her at a sidewalk cafe and comment about the people walking by. Love her wit.
I like her. This interview is from 1995 (pre-fast connection internet in house holds) - I wonder how she's doing today (googling her, seeing she's still around).
There’s a new Netflix short documentary series about her made by Martin Scorsese. If you like her here, I think you’d like that, and it shows what she’s up to now.
She is around. She doesn’t have wi fi so she can’t google herself and doesn’t read anything about her online. She still doesn’t have a computer or phone. I sort of admire her. I feel I’d also want only a landline and maybe a computer with internet. Must be calmer
This aired when I was 9. She stole the show and, tbh... Should have hired her as a writer, lol! Still got your back man. This prestige video is nice and, it was a good move to go UA-cam with all your content. My 2 year old didn't learn "I love Conan!" from her mother.
I would say that I FIRST saw Fran in the film Resident Alien, about Quentin Crisp. That movie MAY BE the biggest crush-developing movie that I've ever seen. I had NO IDEA Crisp, Leibowitz, McDermitt & McGough, and Penny Arcade existed before seeing it! I swooned for ALL of them.
Same reason Johnny Depp (until he as forced to stop) keeps playing in bazillions of consecutive Pirate movie sequels and Jeff Goldblum plays in sneaker and cooking product placement short movies. Nobody invents anything deserving their talent anymore and the bills keep flowing in.
As Fran was talking about her unfinished novel, which has been forever in the making, I am thinking about the movie "Wonder Boys." The Michael Douglas character, Professor Grady Tripp, has been working on his novel for years and there are no signs of it ever coming to a conclusion. In the movie the book is an unwieldy 2,611-page manuscript.
That is some high toting anti social behavior when you literally tear out bedroom space to keep people out? But I have it on good authority it was because she now owns 12,000 books and that this apartment back in 95 was too small when she only had 10,000 books.
When my wife and I moved into a 2 bedroom apartment I immediately claimed one bedroom as my 'office' (I am retired, why do I need an office?). I had to make sure that no one mistakenly thought we had a guest bedroom. 😎
@@tinytanks They bare a striking resemblance. Why is that a terrible thing for people to point out? Do you not think they look similar? And maybe show some reference for the city you feel so butthurt for by capitalizing her name.

The best part about technology is being able to watch Fran Lebowitz on UA-cam
EXACTLY!!!!
Safe to say the dislikes on this vid are either Guidance Counselors or Panda Experts.
🤣🤣🤣.... or trump supporters. She has been very vocal of her disdain for him. Another reason to love her.
😂😂😂😂😂
@@tiffanyh1274 You ready?
Offending panda experts just rolls off my back." Shade. 😎
LMAO!!!
She would be great on the podcast.
We need that
She's great wherever she shows up. 😁
I agree but she would hate the premise, becoming friends with Conan, inevitably having people in her home
Yea her voice and speaking and pace is very good
Fran is more famous now than she was when Conan did this interview with her. She's brilliant.
one of the funniest people ever lived
LivING.
i hope you mean Conan
Period.
she's drawn to pandas because they dress and walk like her. I love her wit and timing. ;)
Well done!
Fran is an American treasure. Absolutely original and hysterical
She's an introvert. I can relate kind of.
She also loves going to parties so maybe ambivert? She’s great though either way!
She's simply glorious. I've never laughed so much watching a talk show. Quite frankly, I rarely laugh so much watching stand up comedians.
I feel genuine compassion and pity towards people (apparently mostly panda experts and guidance counselors) who have a hard time understanding her humour.
People don't realize how many letters Dr. Suess got from Lorax experts saying they don't actually talk to trees, and the cat experts telling him they don't wear hats.
If Fran ever made it on the podcast I could die happy. My two biggest inspirations
This is basically a stand up set with Conan to bounce off jokes. more please?
thats literally what conans show has always been, set work outs, bill burr is the best example
I love “Franland” !!!!!! That is priceless. I feel the same. My home is a private sanctuary only for me.
Fran is secretly Andy Samberg’s mom
Was looking for this
Yep I thought she was him
🤙😲🤙🤙🤙🤙🤙
Spitting image

Check out her appearances on David letterman's show. It's 2hrs 30 mins long.
This was a great interview, I like her and now I want to write children books. I really agree about the home thing, I have to be able to relax and I don't relax when there's other people around. I go out as little as possible, and even then I just spend time with my dog.
Marry me lol. I'm the same way. I promise we'll have as little interaction as possible & only say hello on occasion lol
Lol and me too. I relate a lot to what she says.
@@edub9930let’s all get married - then live in separate houses on the same street, you in? 😂
Fran is the funniest non comedian there is!
She's funnier than most comedians.
@@aabracadavra That's because she's not a comedian... she's a humorist. There's not many of them around anymore. Actually, that's what Andy griffith started out being.

Hopefully this means another interview, old mate's killing it
"I don't understand how you sleep at night."
"I don't."
The musical guest was Big Audio Dynamite. The first guest was Molly Ringwald. She promoted the movie Malicious.
I adore Fran Lebowitz. Don't ever change. I would love to get a coffee with her at a sidewalk cafe and comment about the people walking by. Love her wit.

Didn’t realize that Andy Samberg had been on Conan 10 years before his SNL career
I thought it was Adam Pally in costume
I thought he's aged significantly since last I saw him.
So thankful it's not just me.
😂😂😂 you sob
Hopefully this means she'll be a guest on the show or podcast!
Agreed! That would be 👌👌
We need Fran back for a new episode.. EDIT: The podcast!!
Damn... she is just so awesome...
MORE FRAN!!!!!!!
Fran Lebowitz rules. Is a lovable hater.
I thought that was Andy Samberg doing a bit when I saw the thumbnail
Lol!
Lmao. Same
Who is that?
God I love this woman. She is a National Treasure.
Lebowitz is a New York icon.
Not going to lie....for a minute, I thought it was going to be an Interview with Frau Farbissina from Austin Powers.
lmao
I clicked this to make sure it wasnt Andy Samberg....
Lol, I thought it was Stephen Wright at first.
I thought it was Andy Samberg to
Me too haha
@5:36 “Every airline goes through New York” 🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔
Her jokes come out like I'm reading them
She reminds me of Marco Pierre White. But not only with the look with her sense of humor. Loved her.
Loved it. I thought she was being serious when she said "panda experts"
Fran has a sharp wit. She reminds me a little of Erma Bombeck. Very funny
Amazing woman

Conan The Legend
Funny how she hates technology and Conan asks her where she sees herself going. 20 something years later, she has a documentary series on Netflix.
I mean she's an actress, she needs to put her acting skills somewhere right?
Same reason Johnny Depp (until he as forced to stop) keeps playing in bazillions of consecutive Pirate movie sequels and Jeff Goldblum plays in sneaker and cooking product placement short movies. Nobody invents anything deserving their talent anymore and the bills keep flowing in.
Netflix is just a platform. A documentary like she did would have aired on regular t.v. it doesnt make it more "technological". IMO.
@@salaciousbum1161 Netflix is also an app. It’s an example of advanced technology that didn’t exist years ago.
@@toneriggz Your not understanding what I'm saying. I leave it at that.
Nice to see I wasn't the only one who thought this was a young Andy Samberg
As Fran was talking about her unfinished novel, which has been forever in the making, I am thinking about the movie "Wonder Boys." The Michael Douglas character, Professor Grady Tripp, has been working on his novel for years and there are no signs of it ever coming to a conclusion.

You mean to tell me if you gave A delicious pepperoni pizza to a panda he wouldn’t eat it!!??that’s bullshit😂😂
She hasn't changed in 30 years, still funny as heck and still antisocial and anti-technology. I love her
Looks like I’m one of the few people who reads comments on a video before I comment to avoid making the same comment as 50 other people
And yet it was still trite, and contributed nothing
@@TheMockatiel
Likewise my friend.
Love her!
She's awesome.... let's get her for the podcast
She is the best

I don't know your age but you'll find that your willingness to tolerate books over guests increases with each passing year
When my wife and I moved into a 2 bedroom apartment I immediately claimed one bedroom as my 'office' (I am retired, why do I need an office?). I had to make sure that no one mistakenly thought we had a guest bedroom. 😎
Basically me minus writing books.
Conan is a genius 💯🔥
3:14 Feels like George RR Martin's process
Fran land! I live!
Everything Conan does is solid gold.
That was her last book she had published before she hit a decades long writers block
"buy it, but dont believe it." TT
Fran friggin rulz.
I hope this means that we will get to see a conversation with her on Zoom with Conan.
Conan O'Brien was actually born in 1963-- he was just being funny and trying to make himself seem younger.
A class act
and yuck to everyone making andy samberg comparisons.... do you people not realize that new york before 1990 was a thing?
Why is that yuck? The look very similar. And why are you talking about New York pre 1990?
@@kenster1682 because your only frame of reference for anything seems to be pop culture from 2010-present

Imagine a Fran vs Louis C.K. banter session.
Omg I’d be all over that
@Jeff, the God of Biscuits you're gross
What a mind!
I clicked because I thought I saw Eric Andre in the thumbnail
Those are the most beautiful boots I’ve ever seen.
So sad that this Conan show is ending in June 2021 😭😭
This is how many of us feel but we suppress this side of ourselves to be agreeable ... Fran doesn't care😅
a masterclass in the curmudgeonly interview
10/10
My new hero. Sassy lone wolf misanthrope.
I can relate
Andy samberg mixed with Adam Sandler’s opera man
Omg, I thought the exact same thing and almost commented something similar. This is hilarious!
And this was 1995?! Fran's head must be spinning with contempt for technology in 2023.
Yes, there's another more recent video on that.
Lol I like her.
Why do I immediately want to go stay with her?
Because you could get plenty of peace and quiet.
Jackal alert: Bamboo is a grass not a tree.
She wouldn't have known that either.
Lmaoooo the YT commenters of '95!
Conan was handsome.
So you're telling me this is NOT Andy Samberg in disguise!?
I thought she was Andy Samberg when I saw the thumbnail
Me too :D
her looks and mannerisms reminds of me of captain barbosa
Mirror mirror who’s the wittiest of them all?
So everybody is coming here to check if this isn't Andy Samberg and to see the comments about this
Intelligent and beautiful. #bae lol
I would have loved to have had the chance to date her if I was born when Fran was.
Jesse Eisenberg's Mom
...she's actually aged more gracefully than Conan since this clip. ... oh, hey, Conan! Whats up!
Damn, all jokes aside i thought that was Andy Samberg
This was back when we could laugh at stupid people instead of worrying about being cancelled by them 🙄
