    Conan is such a genius that he can completely hide his actual serious side and become a complete baboon for the sake of his art. What an inspiration.

    Serious Jibber-Jabber is such an approachable video series. You can take a topic like Richard Nixon and make it absolutely fascinating. I loved sharing things I've learned from these conversations with people I know.

    I'm not usually into presidential or political history, but this was truly one of the most fascinating interviews I have ever seen. "Serious Jibber-Jabber" is surely one of the best series on UA-cam. Keep it up, Conan!!

  • @D0mantas

    I'd love to see Conan do a Serious Jibber-Jabber stylle podcast on a somewhat more regular basis. I've always been a fan of these interviews when he's done them in the past and its nice to see a different side of Conan.

  • @thejuiceweasel
    @thejuiceweasel 9 років тому +53

    It's really cool to see that Conan, if he *really* wanted to stop making comedy, could easily do a chilled monthly interview show and people would probably like it. Only a few funny guys can pull of the serious thing.

      He is just so good at this style of show it makes me think he could have done this completely independent of his comedian career and been successful at it. For some people he comes off as too smart to be really funny. Kind of like if Einstein was a comedian or something.

    • @manjunaths6866
      @manjunaths6866 4 роки тому

      He is smart no doubt, but he's been successful in entertaining people with his comedy. Also, comedy is subjective anyway. Some people might have enjoyed Einstein's comedy too, too bad we'll never know how good his routine would've been.

    I remember listening to Nixon reading the audio version of his book "In The Arena". I wasn't expecting much going in, but by the end I felt kind of bad for the guy.
    I believe he had the great misfortune of being a well meaning, sincere guy who through the circumstances of his years in politics and his many personality flaws, wound up making a lot of bad decisions that ended up corrupting him.
    I think history will ultimately look back on Richard Nixon as a highly misunderstood, deeply flawed man. To me that's much different than a bad person.
