A friend of mine used to work at an ATT store in Westwood, and Henry came in and bought a phone from him. He said thanks and left . . . But then came back unannounced 10 minutes later with a coffee, handed it my my friend and said, "I was getting a coffee and I just thought you might like to have one, too." What a guy.
My mom was holding me at a grocery store back in the 90s and apparently I started bawling my eyes out. She was trying to do all this stuff when she gets a tap on the shoulder and sure enough it’s Henry Winkler. He asked if he could help her out and without a moments hesitation, he lifted his shirt and nursed me back to tranquility. Amazing man.
My brother works at a restaurant in Cincinnati and said Henry was there one night. He told me he personally went back into the kitchen and thanked all of the cooks and the chef. Just out of this world niceness.
Henry Winkler is nothing short of the perfect gentlemen. I remember him once getting down on his knees just to introduce himself to me while I was in the middle of plating cars for the scene.
Henry Winkler saw me in LA years ago. I was hating my 1st job out of college (top adverising agency) and was out at lunch completely broken. He stopped to chat with me and gave me some words of advice. I recently retired at 50yrs old. Successful in my own owned businesses. I often look back on that day and have passed those words onto everyone I've mentored. It was a treat to see the Barry Episodes. And the man who turned my life around.
I love the stories Conan tells about his kids. The fact that at 3:53 his son watches tv series with him in their entirety. His daughter went with him to Coachella, road trip and all. These are teens who are either almost out of the house and the other already off to college and they love spending quality time with their Dad! I don’t have a teen and always just hear the horror stories of how they begin to hate you at a certain age, after you’ve poured your heart and soul into loving and raising them. It just warms my heart to no end that this is not always the case. AND we’re talking about a celebrity… Conan could’ve been way too worried about his career to care to be a present father but the glimpses he’s shared about the quality time he spends with his kids shows how very present he has been in their life. I love that. I hope I have an amazing bond with my kids when they’re all teens and beyond ❤
@@youtubedrifter5594 me and my mum are dirt poor and i still spend time with her, watching entire shows together. sure, when I was a teen we had our moments, but that’s what parenting a teen is; having moments, not the relationship being ruined entirely. Whoever says that once kids enter 15 they magically run away or murder their parents or whatever, they either had crappy parents, or were the crappy parent themselves.
Those horror stories are from/about people who view their kids as objects & extensions of themselves, rather than as fully human people with thoughts, opinions, and experiences of their own. Listen to your kids as you would a friend (I mean a deeply good friend, who loves you enough to call you on your bullshit & celebrates your wins), take them seriously, respect them as people, & teenhood can be a time of great connection & exploration (and letting go, as they grow).
@@CarenKH1 I don't disagree that that's often true, but tbh it's also that raising another human being to be happy and healthy is simply not a simple task and we're not taught how to do so, usually just having to wing it and take advice from other parents/books in the hopes that they have the right information. Like, I don't have a very good relationship with my mom, I've had to start working through quite a bit of resentment I didn't realize I hold, but I wouldn't say she didn't think of me as a person or thought of me as an object or part of her. She just didn't know what she was doing and is kinda self-centered. That's not good, of course, but there's no one answer to why children and their relationships with parents turn out the way they do. There are hundreds of ways that can happen. I only really bring this up because a lot of people seem to think raising a child isn't work, and that you'll do an amazing and perfect job if you just listen and be there. It's so much more than that, though, and children and their developing brains and bodies are complicated and won't always express what they need. And it'll turn out that a number of the things you think are the "right" way to raise a child might actually hurt it in another case. But I agree with your overall message, and I think the most *important* thing is 100% communication and listening and respect, for sure. Unfortunately in my case that was all present, but there are sadly still plenty of other ways to mess up and get your child to be less than fond of you lol.
Last week, I told a friend “It’s about a hitman who decides that he’s going to become an actor. He’s an expert hitman, but he’s a terrible actor” but four seasons later, I’m not sure that was the best description.
I describe it as Bill Haders critique of Hollywood culture and acting. A hit man tries to find his humanity through acting and obviously ends up failing horribly
Conan's observation about the changing tone of Barry was great. I think the tonal shift takes place as Barry's (and other people's) actions start to have lingering effects. Early in season one, he's in a new place, with new people. The longer he's there, the deeper and wider the impact of his actions on himself and those around him. (It's like Breaking Bad in that way.)
I think one of the most genius things about the show is how the characters in Barry are constantly referencing their own behavior or choices based on things they've seen in films. So it becomes an interesting exercise in trying to determine and understand whether a character's motivations are sincere or performative or some combination of both. And I think it's a fascinating commentary on the world we live in today whether it was intentional in the writer's room or not. Brilliant show. Truly.
If Bill stays dedicated to writing/directing characters the way he has for Barry, he's got a hell of a career ahead of him. I love that he takes his characters so seriously.
Im on season 3 of barry right now. The camera movements and scene compositions are great! Hader's got so much to give. I love his comedic skills but Im in awe of his other talents.
When I was in 4th grade, I loved Happy Days and so for a fan mail project for school, I wrote to him and he sent back an autographed picture with a really nice message that I still have framed to this day.
I loved this show for years and the twists have taken me aback. The show morphed into something different and then returned to what made it great. It’s a fantastic show and bill is such an amazing actor.
Bill and Conan are two peas from the same pod. They have this unspoken connection when it comes to hilarity. I love it and, frankly, sustain myself on it.
Barry is for sure one of the best shows I've ever seen. And I did not expect it when I learned it's out there. I was sure I would be having fun. And then I was completely blown away. Thank you all the people behind it :)
I’m only 37 but I watched happy days on days my mother took me to work when I was younger. She worked at a news station so she had a tv on her desk. I fell in love with the show. I’ll watch anything with Henry or Ron
@@phillystevesteak6982I think succession and Barry are both better than white lotus, the books for white lotus are much better anyway. Not a bad show by any means though.
there are a few (many)episodes that Hader has directed throughout the seasons, that have felt extremely Tarantino -ish....hence, Hader is genius director. Dude is mega talented much LOVE for Conan and Hader, 2 of the GREATS
I’m a big fan of Henry Winkler and though I have never met him, I always thought he seemed like a really nice guy. It’s good to find out that’s the case from someone who actually knows him. There are so many jerks in Hollywood, it’s good to hear about someone who isn’t.
so interesting to watch 2 comedians duel like this..but whats heartening is how self aware they are about who won which bout and instead of pouting and go on the offence - they mutually champion the victor’s joke. As much as you’d like to deem celebs as sociopaths, this’s a clear example how naturally empathetic they are. Good stuff❤
There was a rumor going around a few months ago about Bill Hader maybe playing Harvey Dent/ Two-Face in the sequel to The Batman. I can’t get it out of my head. The ease at which he slides into other characters and voices, his general look (like Tim Sale’s version of the character) and his profoundly excellent dramatic acting chops- Batman boasts some of my favorite characters in fiction and Bill Hader would elevate Two-Face on film to undeniably new heights. I really do hope it happens. The other names getting tossed around currently are way more mainstream and a lot less interesting I think.
Roflmao...just roflmao. 🤣 This one cements it for me. Bill Hader actually might be one of the most likable deeply intellectual guys on the planet. This might be where I'd usually take a swing (and miss) at the big guy. Yet I feel compelled to gush over our favorite gifted Harvard grad. So having digested an almost innumerable quantity of CocoPods, can I just say that Conan's already deep and broad creative arts skills just keep broadening. His interviewing skills and his sharing of the spotlight and allowing others to feel at ease and showcase their gifts just get better and better. I kinda get a bit of an Imus vibe occasionally when I watch the gears turn as he listens and crafts his next bit of verbiage. It's really freakin' cool. Hopefully the Imus mention comes off correctly. I didn't always agree with him...or always enjoy his brand of straight talk, but I always wanted to hear his take. His interviews were crazy good too. Anyway, thanks again team Coco. I'm kinda square in the demo, but great television and all the new permutations of radio + television here in bitworld sure are fascinating and fun to watch. Like your content! What is it? Long format interview with multiple interviewers? Yeah podcast but also elements of Howard and some of the classic and great radio talk formats too. Whatever it is, forget the numbers...it is entertainment and good company of the highest caliber. I'm sayin' that because the numbers...oh...the numbers and how we keep relying on that data for validation of creative and deeply personal efforts. Well listen...you folks are talented and driven professionals and your efforts are damn damn good. Period. All's y'all! But it's always job well done with all you try hards, ain't it?! 😖 😜
Even when I was a kid in the ‘90s, when they were airing reruns, I was doing little Fonz impressions with my friends. (To be fair, it was more that I did the impressions AT them until they relented… so theirs were impressions of my impressions… but still..)
When I first got to Hollywood, we lived next to a former cameraman for Happy Days. He was talking about his painful divorce and how he was sitting on a day off from the show, in his apartment. Someone knocks on door and it’s Henry Winkler with a picnic basket and says “C’mon - you’re coming out with us” and they went to a nearby park and hung out and levitated his mood.
Maybe it's just me or where I live, but I feel like people in Hollywood use the term 'sweet' to refer to each other way more than most other people do. We might use the term 'nice', but it feels like actors call each other 'sweet' constantly. Idk, just something I've observed.
Something about the story of this show makes it difficult for me recommecnd it to people, barry is incredible everyone should watch it but how do you explain what it is about to someone else without making it sound dumb? Just very tough to sell.
I always explain the initial premise: Bill Hader is a hitman from Cleveland who travels to LA to do a hit and ends up falling in love with acting. From there they can discover the madness for themselves lol
Watching that scene where he shoots Chris... All I could think was "if this is a comedy, why am I crying?" Not a criticism at all! It really hits one of my favorite genres, "bummers that make me laugh".
Henry is a class act for caring about the crew having some nice Bundt cake with their coffee during their break. Most actors don't even look crew directly in the eye, but Henry knows they are the literal backbone of every production.
Henry Winkler is the greatest actor who ever lived. He convinced the entire country that a 135lb jewish guy was the toughest italian biker in Milwaukee.
Its not a comedy anymore than actual life is a comedy. Even the darkest moments in life can be absurdist. And what I like about Barry is that it deconstructs and ridicules all aspects of “tacticool badassery”.
I have always/will always adore Bonnie Hunt but when Bill was talking about scraping the bottom of the barrel on his press tour and said, "I just went to Bonnie Hunt's house," it made me do a spit take with my coffee.
Ah Happy Days and KISS were both popular at the same time. So a trend in my home town to be cool was to have a leather jacket like the Fonz and the highest heels you could find. Oh and smoke like Colombo
A friend of mine used to work at an ATT store in Westwood, and Henry came in and bought a phone from him. He said thanks and left . . . But then came back unannounced 10 minutes later with a coffee, handed it my my friend and said, "I was getting a coffee and I just thought you might like to have one, too." What a guy.
WOW! So that dude is legit!? Like how Bill said "Can I give the crew the bundt cake?" Like he really thinks about people. What a guy indeed.

Hader's impression of Winkler is so spot on that if I heard him do a fake interview as Winkler, I wouldn't know the difference. lol
So many of his impressions are that good, his Allen Alda is so real it’s terrifying.
@@jonathanzimmerman634 that’s the only one that I think really sounds identical but the rest are pretty good
The man is a sweet genius
Just no
He’s a master at impressions
That Cousineau impression "I'm Barry?" lol
I've had "I'm, Barry?" (Bill as Winkler) popping into my head and making me giggle all week.
Henry Winkler is nothing short of the perfect gentlemen. I remember him once getting down on his knees just to introduce himself to me while I was in the middle of plating cars for the scene.
That’s so cool, were you working on Barry or another show? I’m glad I’ve heard nothing but good things about the Fonz.
Henry Winkler saw me in LA years ago. I was hating my 1st job out of college (top adverising agency) and was out at lunch completely broken.

That's super interesting. So this was the 90s (when Henry was still known mainly as the Fonz)
What was the advice
@@peerlearnin5600 the advice was “eyyyyy”
what did he say??? Don't leave us hanging you lunatic.
You can’t not say the advice now
Please share Henry's advice with me, thank you.

I love how this episode was so good that they have released all of it in several clips. JUST RELEASE THE ENTIRE THING!
RIGHT never ending bill content
In my opinion it's incredibly annoying. Just release the full ep! Nobody wants clips.
I feel as though it has more to do with a deliberate lead up to the final episode of Barry, which is this Sunday.
@Karen Stepko Conan does this with every celebrity though. Team Coco is unfortunately stuck in the past where late night shows and "clips" matter
@@Pumpkinking64 yeah they do this for every podcast, it's broken down into clips and I hate it
Bill is hands down one of my all time favorite guests! Amazing flow, energy and he stays in the topic after these jokes.
I think one of the most genius things about the show is how the characters in Barry are constantly referencing their own behavior or choices based on things they've seen in films.

Bill Hader is one of the most creative and talented actor come out of SNL
He is akin to Jim Carrey in talent
@lizardmandx bro Haders is waay more talented. Haders writing is top notch. Carrey arrey cant top that.
If Bill stays dedicated to writing/directing characters the way he has for Barry, he's got a hell of a career ahead of him. I love that he takes his characters so seriously.
Bill Hader is way more talented than people give him credit for. I can already see him becoming the next Scorsese/Tarantino.
I hope he goes that route. I never saw it that way but now that I'm thinking, Barry was original enough to where he very well could be.
Totally agree. He's not just a hilarious goofball, he's a genuine artistic genius.
@@joemanco1075 directing has been his objective ever since he started acting and he has 3 films written/story broken
Im on season 3 of barry right now. The camera movements and scene compositions are great! Hader's got so much to give. I love his comedic skills but Im in awe of his other talents.
that's quite a leap. I think you're getting a bit starstruck.

I'm so excited to what else Hader creates. Barry and Documentary Now are high class product.
I loved this show for years and the twists have taken me aback. The show morphed into something different and then returned to what made it great. It’s a fantastic show and bill is such an amazing actor.
I could listen to Bill Hader talk for hours. Sometimes I do. Stop judging me, it's the algorithm.
Yes... Me too. Because of the algorithm.
Henry Winkler is your wing man, your hype-man, and the father you never knew you had, all in one!
Bill and Conan are two peas from the same pod. They have this unspoken connection when it comes to hilarity. I love it and, frankly, sustain myself on it.
I'm both excited and bummed out that the finale is just days away.This show was great in every way
I love this story so much. I’ve heard it like 5 different times but it’s the best. Henry Winkler is so cool.
Henry winkler is my most favorite person on the planet ! He is so wonderfully sweet and also so witty and genuinely interested and interesting
I can't wait to read Henry Winkler's stories in his autobiography being released this October.
Hader has the best stories.

I love this interview and the insight into his attitude towards the show.
Few things in this world are better than a Conan-Hader interview.
When he said "it can be so dark, but funny" immediately reminded me of Snatch
1:12 so spot on
This clip is very nicely edited. Good ending spot.
"This will calm them down." LOL!
I’m glad Conan mentioned how even his directing is funny and can make you lol on its own
"I went to Bonnie Hunt's house" Bill Hader is such an underappreciated comedian.
Winkler talk like that in real life too?🤣 great impression
I want to see an action movie with bob odenkirk and harry winkler.
Nah
I would love to see Anthony Carrigan (NoHo Hank) on Conan Needs a Friend.

Release the Winkler cut!
Please upload the video version to Spotify!
I can't believe Henry Winkler was the Fonz That's So Not Who Henry Winkler is that's so interesting how he was able to pull that off
The first time I heard Henry Winkler talking in real life (not as the Fonze), I thought he was acting but he was just being himself.
Even when I was a kid in the ‘90s, when they were airing reruns, I was doing little Fonz impressions with my friends. (To be fair, it was more that I did the impressions AT them until they relented… so theirs were impressions of my impressions… but still..)
Conan and Bill Hader compliment eachother so well.
Bill Hader. Bill Burr and Timothy Olyphant are the best guests on Conan's
Bill Burr on Barry was funny
Henry "The cake is not a lie." Winkler.
deep cut there. I'm making a note here. Huge success!
When I first got to Hollywood, we lived next to a former cameraman for Happy Days. He was talking about his painful divorce and how he was sitting on a day off from the show, in his apartment. Someone knocks on door and it’s Henry Winkler with a picnic basket and says “C’mon - you’re coming out with us” and they went to a nearby park and hung out and levitated his mood.
Im starting to think Henry didnt play a character in the movie Click, he actually played himself.
"Well, have another piece of bunt cake, Bill."
Maybe it's just me or where I live, but I feel like people in Hollywood use the term 'sweet' to refer to each other way more than most other people do. We might use the term 'nice', but it feels like actors call each other 'sweet' constantly. Idk, just something I've observed.

Mr. Winkler likes to fly fish.
Awww Henry Winkler is such a sweety, but i think it was Criminal Intent that he played a scary killer, great actor.. 👍

Finally finished Barry last night. Wow!
So many haters but only one Hader.
He said you guys are too young, but I assume he was only talking to Sona? I'm 48 and Happy days was SUPER FAMOUS when I was a kid.
Alec should have won a DGA for that episode. (5:22)
The English teacher put the fonz poster on the wall because what's the first letter of the English alphabet?
Ayyyy
Indeed
Henry is a class act for caring about the crew having some nice Bundt cake with their coffee during their break. Most actors don't even look crew directly in the eye, but Henry knows they are the literal backbone of every production.
I have never seen Barry. But isn't it an extension of that SNL skit where Hader played a Vietnam vet taking a puppetry class?

Did anyone else notice Bill's camera was out of focus?
What do they spray Connan's face with?
Barry left me feeling just a bit afraid of Bill Hader. It was a provoking series.
Oh, wow.
we want Henry Winkler on th podcast
I have always/will always adore Bonnie Hunt but when Bill was talking about scraping the bottom of the barrel on his press tour and said, "I just went to Bonnie Hunt's house," it made me do a spit take with my coffee.
Gene Shallit attacked me..
LOL
