1997 was 19 years ago. We all looked much younger then too. Wish Conan were hosting The Tonight Show instead of Fallon, I prefer Conan's sense of humor to anyone else's. NBC's loss is TBS' gain.
I love watching these older videos. I started watching Conan when I was 13 back in 96, he was my first celebrity crush. (what can I say I have a thing for funny redheads) Still faithfully watching Conan, still carrying my crush. :)
Actually, what many people probably don't know is that Conan is an expert tap dancer. He even seriously considered tap dancing as a career before he joined Second City as an improv artist.
I know this clip is important because it's the birth of the string dance, but I keep coming back to it 'cuz Conan's so handsome in a tuxedo with his hair slicked back, he could be in a period film.
I wonder how much laughter they have to cut out from these. Like if he starts fuckin around and EVERYBODY is just dying they probably have to refilm it to make him look more silly with everyone giving him weird looks.
All jokes aside, Conan actually has great rhythm and body awareness, which is obvious to see when he dances spontaneously, as opposed to part of a "bit" where it's supposed to be self-deprecating. He's also revealed that he found out that he is literally 100% Irish, according to DNA testing, which is a win for white people everywhere! Lol
I've seen 4 comments with people asking for names of songs and people replying "Darude- Sandstorm"... The future is doomed with idiots who can't think for themselves or come up with anything new.
+Grant Newlands oh sorry for that ^^ I've listen to the specific segment again, but I've never heard this melody. maybe an easy chopin or an improvised chopin...
Those early hip hop moves tho, now a days it's all about drinking codeine out of Horchata Cups and bringing your elbow up to your face pretending to sneeze.
And so it was: The String Dance was born.
its funny because conan still beatboxes the same way in the car lyft with ice cube and kevin hart
The ballerina was all class playing along with Conan. Love her.
She died of a drug overdose
@@karlsweeney2328 sad to hear.
@@6ixConfessions oh don't worry I made it up
@@karlsweeney2328 You're so cruel. 😋
@@6ixConfessions ahh what a good sport

Same, Conan's the best of them all
Conans actually funny, jimmy has writers for him he still mumbles and laughs at everything with a horrible fake laugh.
BaronVonBielski Jimmy doesn’t have a fake laugh.
Croc I was one.
yes he does
That hip hop guy was rad - he got Conan 100%.
Im watching this in a quiet library and its a very bad idea
The mythical string dance of Conan
Those were the golden times for conan and andy imho. Btw, props for the hiphop instructor for being such a great sport.
+LordBoh hiphop guy was real smart. Evolve the art. Introduce the Conan.
Golden age of conan and andy started 1993 and still continues

Conan was so cute in that video. I loved it.
Being an Indian do you really watch conan
@@SarFirraEdits Yes i watch Conan O'Brien's show regularly despite of me being an Indian
wanted to comment that i agree with you that conan is cute. but omg what is this conversation? lmfao
that hip hop instructor was cool and went along with Conan, he's chill
Conan is a pearl. Please save him, protect him.
I do stand in my bedroom...point..and scream "that's guys amazing"
This Hip Hop instructor is so COOL!
that ballerina was so beautiful
Conan's top looks:
- 90's Conan
- Bearded Conan
Kelvin the hip-hop dancer should have been a recurring guest - he's so likeable and into it. I wonder what happened to him.
i love the hip hop instructor ik this is old but wish he taught me dance he seems chill dude
9:02 The String Dance was still in its incomplete phase.
I could never imagine Seth Meyers doing something like this.
Conan's street name: C-Thug
The ballerina that Conan was hitting on was so cute.
after an embarrassing amount of time, clicking on related videos. I think it is safe to say, Conan is in more video uploads than anyone X].
The string dance has definitely been perfected over the years.
8:37 oh look it's under pressure!
no wait- IT'S ICE ICE BABY
I wonder how much laughter they have to cut out from these. Like if he starts fuckin around and EVERYBODY is just dying they probably have to refilm it to make him look more silly with everyone giving him weird looks.
That was a _great_ Jerry Lewis with his pants down! 7:22
Pulling the string was so funny.
BRING ME BACK TO THE 90'S!!!! =(
9:03, now I know where he got his go to hip movement haha!
''I learnd nothing'' lmaooo
I love Conan.

Everything from 0:00 to 9:41 was amazing.
String pull!
Love the hip hop... haha
The magic string dance 😂😂👍💯💯😘
“How ya doin co-naan?”
@conanfan33 do you have the skit where conan goes to santa school by any chance?
Youre awesome! thanks for uploading!
Love it! Thank you!
I immediately want to know more about that ballerina...
I would not have been able to handle that. I would be laughing so hard.
Conan’s street name: White Lightning.
String dance!!
THAT GUY IS AMAZING!!!!
EEEK!
Paul Pellicoro @ Dancesport! That's where I take my dance lessons!
GOT to love a man willing to make an ass out of himself like that. :)
THE BEGINNING OF THE LEGENDARY STRING DANCE
Yeah, Conan just went on another level in my book with that hip-hop dancing.
It’s unbelievable already 20+years ago
Do you think Conan knew what he was creating when he first grabbed those strings?
1997 holy crap, i was a baby back then.
i wanted to see the forward moon walk!!
Conan is the Best at saying. "Everybody Dance now!" lol
I freakin' LOVE the thread dance. Did he actually make it up?
Everybody dancing now..
aaron got thinner and andy got chubbier..
That Everybody dance now....deserves a like if not a favorite.
I've seen 4 comments with people asking for names of songs and people replying "Darude- Sandstorm"... The future is doomed with idiots who can't think for themselves or come up with anything new.
Sadly the response to this would be "umadbro?" "Why so salty?" Sigh.
+nomellocreampig The future? you are living in it.
First world problems
Salty 😂 I say that for the irony but it’s also a fact.
I burst into laugher when his pants fell off. Lmfao 😂 😂🤣 🤣
awesome song
What I like about this video is that for all his goofiness, Conan's pretty decent at the ballroom and hip-hop.
And he's got BEAUTIFUL legs! :)
The universe makes sense now. Conan was intentional to show reality, reality.
Was this the inception of the string dance ??!?
Conan found his groove! 😎
That's the least 'street' street-dancer I've ever seen. He's brilliant but he looks like something from Strictly Ballroom.
Why does he have to be street tho? He's a dance instructor. Not a drug dealer
Any idea what the music is at 5:19-5:50 ?
I'm referring to the piano music in that section of the ballet segment.
Thanks to anyone who might know
Darude - Sandstorm
don't think so
+Grant Newlands tango perfume de mujer carlos gardel
+Trudi nope thats in the segment after the ballet but thanks for trying to help
+Grant Newlands oh sorry for that ^^ I've listen to the specific segment again, but I've never heard this melody. maybe an easy chopin or an improvised chopin...
Do you guys know the exact date this episode aired? I distinctly remember watching it.
conan's got moves
Name of the music at 5:20 please?
he is da best out there by far! 2 funny :]
Conan is king
The moment Conan loses his pants, he turns into Carrot Top!!! XD
the only dislike is by jay leno
THAT GUY'S AMAZING!!!
And 20 years later he's still learning
That is crazy good!
Jeez, how long has he been doing the string dance??
I hear this is where David Brent learned a lot of his moves
at 5:53 that girl got into that shit lol
Conan as Crystal Ice or what ever his name was ...TOO FUNNY !
@Sarieesaurousrex No, probably because that was not Colbert - it was Jim Carrey. That cup was promoting his movie The Cable Guy.
is this the birth of the string dance?!
Bahahah Conan looks like he's 10 with the red hat on :)
Oh my God, did Conan invent the floss?!
It's his string dance and floss was invented waaay before Fortnite used it so... no.
Why aren't there any conversations between Conan and Andy in the new TBS show? :( Andy's involvement is pretty limited...
His threads were on point
Conan is fucking blown! I can't say that I'm surprised, but I'm surprised.
gold
hahahahha god bless that ballerina, she saw that sandwich and was like GIVE ME SOME 14 hours of dancing a day, those queens can eat
Ahhh good old Thane Meynard.... Who the fuck is Thane Meynard?
Lol. Animal expert.
Is this the origin of the string dance?
so that's where the string dance came from
Those early hip hop moves tho, now a days it's all about drinking codeine out of Horchata Cups and bringing your elbow up to your face pretending to sneeze.
ROFL at 07:19
"You're not street if you're like HELLO! I'm here to dance, HELLO!"
