I was actually in the audience that night, just sitting a couple of rows behind the red head. I remember those boys being on top of the world when we left that studio LOL.
This was done during the Writers strike I can tell Conans bored he Spins his wedding ring on his desk eventually has a feud with Colbert and Stewart like I said he mist be very bored
"Do not r-r-r-r-r-REACH for the donut!! You're ANIMALS!" Thanks for uploading, hidden gem. I wasn't surprised finding out now he did this, very similar to when he filled the audience with just children.
There will never be another like Conan. He and his writing staff were the absolute masters of taking something so simple and stupid and turning it into comedy gold. And we also had Letterman and Ferguson who were fantastic at it too. Golden era of Late Night.
I don't know how I got on the rabbit trail of 2008 writer's strike Conan but man, this man is incredibly entertaining. I want that kind of passion in my work
6:13, notice there is a chair next to his desk, I wonder if during the commercial he mock interviewed a few audience members lol to have a Time Machine :)
IS IT JUST ME?!?! For a sec there I thought the "Your hair is awesome" girl is Sona?????? WTF? She's in blue, half her face behind the woman in white. 6:41 With curly hair.
Every time I think "I wonder if a late show would do something like [blank]", it turns out Conan already did it long ago.
he's basically the simpsons of late shows
@@1R4MgMYl7a I’m about to really shock you…
He was a writer on The Simpsons
Simpsons...simpsons...simpsons...Simpsons🫡🧟♂️

I know right! Look at the amount of face-time they got on a nationally televised talkshow! It's almost like they were a guest. 15 minutes for sure.
The physics of the bodysurfing Conan dummy is one of the funniest things I've ever seen!
Oh my gawd It was hilarious 😂😂

lol true
Conan was not gunna do well with that crowd 😶
The stuff Conan was doing during the writers strike was his best work of his career, so creative and really hilarious.
ABSOLUTELY AGREE
Having one of the best comedy writers as your host during the writers' strike is almost cheating :D
Random audience: “oh boy, I’m so excited to get a front row seat to Conan!”
Conan: “let’s do the show from behind the audience! And here’s donuts!”
Man 2008 what a time to live in and we didn’t even know it
It really was the best era of my life
Likely due to the massive recession
I’m 43 I was 28 then and it was my favorite year yet. I was the happiest and the most comfortable in my own skin for the first time in 28 years.
2008 was such a good year fr (I was still a baby lmao)
Yeah, but 2011 made 2008 look like 2005.
Such an iconic show for a young demographic that became so loyal over the years
18-35 of the 90's/00's totally followed him to TBS later.

Conan: "The NBC insurance people said, there is no way."
Crowd: "Boo"
Conan: "I've had a likness of me maid."
Crowd proceeds to kill likeness.
There will never be another like Conan. He and his writing staff were the absolute masters of taking something so simple and stupid and turning it into comedy gold.
And we also had Letterman and Ferguson who were fantastic at it too. Golden era of Late Night.
And that's why the insurance company said NO
The Conan dummy crowd surf is one of the funniest things ive ever seen in my entire life hahahahaha
Conan has been one of life's greatest gifts.
Top Twenty Conan bit.
so many bits...
Funniest bit ever😂😂
This is why hes #1
It's hard to say, the talk shows in caverns he referenced GROT CAVE reviews...
What a great bit, loved every second of it, I wish I could have been in one of his shows when he still hosted Late Night!
I don't know how I got on the rabbit trail of 2008 writer's strike Conan but man, this man is incredibly entertaining. I want that kind of passion in my work
All of a sudden the people in the last row got first row seats and free donuts. Good deal.
Amazing, best part was Conan dummy getting bodyslammed near the end
Next stop: The Cone-Zone!
Say it so the people in the back can hear! 🫡🤙
And now for our moment of zen
6:13, notice there is a chair next to his desk, I wonder if during the commercial he mock interviewed a few audience members lol to have a Time Machine :)
I imagine it's just there to complete the talk show look.
It never really occurred to me before, but with the writers gone, the stagehands and prop people were working overtime.
Why did it just end? 😢
Well that beach ball was a mistake...or was it😂😂😂
Conans Parents always said Conan was a dummy now this clip proves it
I'm pretty sure it's all an act. You animal
Maybe backwards, but not dumb.
2:15 red eye
IS IT JUST ME?!?! For a sec there I thought the "Your hair is awesome" girl is Sona?????? WTF? She's in blue, half her face behind the woman in white. 6:41 With curly hair.
That looks nothing like her.
It's just you.
Sona didn’t get involved until 2009 when he moved to LA
