The greatest talk show host of all time.
Letterman was special too.
💯
Funniest too
Conan is great, hit even he has said Johnny Carson was the best.
@@FryetherI mean of course he won't say he's the best
Not sure if Conan realizes how big of an impact his farewell speech had from Late Night, “Please do not be cynical. I hate cynicism - it's my least favorite quality, and it doesn't lead anywhere. Nobody in life gets exactly what they thought they were going to get. But if you work really hard and you're kind, amazing things will happen.”
YES! I quite often go back to that episode to listen to that speech.
agreed
His final tonight show speech actually borrowed heavily from his first show post-9/11 when he addressed the audience. Still a good speech, but it does borrow heavily.
@@kowalski5599
I'll take, "Things Worth Repeating" for $500, Alex.
I think about that speech sometimes. Conan has influenced my sense of humor more than any other person, and he's been the one constant in my life for the past 22 years. I really admire him for his humbleness, kindness, and insight. Yet if theres one word I would use to describe myself, it's cynical. I've just spent so long getting beaten and brutalized by the system, by people, by life. I watch good people get victimized and stepped on while others get ahead by lying, cheating, and taking advantage of others. I do what I think is right because I can't live with myself if I don't, but it's never gotten me anything other than being told "you're so kind" when I express this disillusionment. When I do get hopeful about something, it isn't long before something or someone destroys those hopes. That happens enough times, and it gets really hard to be hopeful. All this seems to happen with the predictability of bowel distress after a trip to KFC.
Conan talks about being blessed. I'm glad he is, but I think some of us are just damned.
The fact that Conan has some of the same people working for him 30 years later, is a testament to how nice he actually is. In a time of tv host creating toxic workplaces Conan is clearly the opposite of toxic👏
I think his greatest talent as a boss is rooting out the bad apples before they become a problem. He's talked about it before I believe.
But he is such a narcissist.
@@sweiland75not really, he's the most self deprecating comedian out there. That's kind of the opposite of narcissism.
Especially in light of the exposed stories about bullying at several other talk shows
@@KM-ns3ki I was gonna say, like 90% of Conans comedy is just him shitting on himself.
Just start writing the book, Conan. We'll buy it in a heartbeat
Yes. (And I wonder wonder what Matt and Sona will write when/if they write about their experience with Conan...)
He would write an amazing book and I think everyone would love to read it.
@@a5-30-31ctsSona has already written a book! It’s called Worlds Worst Assistant.
Conan still acts like the new guy and calls himself ”the guy who replaced letterman”. The thing is though that he is the letterman of our generation. He should be and is considered one of if not the best of all time.
Johnny....Dave....Conan. Got to see all 3, and even Conan would pick Dave. For me, they're 3 entirely different styles, but all gold. If pressed, I'm taking Conan Letterman.
Exactly!!!
Used to watch Conan at 2 am in Houston with my brother. Some of my best memories are just laughing at everything he did while my brother and I tried not to wake up the rest of the house. Then when Conan did the bit about Houston showing the show so late, in Houston, it felt like it was a bit especially for us. Just the best
I remember it being on that late too. Great entertainment for someone in their early 20's after you come home from the bar. Crazy that KPRC would rather show Win Lose or Draw & Divorce Court reruns after Carson.
I remember that episode. There was a random guy calling Andy "The little fat dude"
@@aperson2943 Lmao, definitely a classic. The guy called himself Buffalo. Conan said Andy was in drug rehab and Buffalo said "That's a good place for him".
I was 7 when I started watching in Australia. A little after 11 PM on the comedy channel! I watched just after Richter left but I loved the reruns with him because of the In the Year 2000 sketches.
@@jeremyc9593 I still remember to this day when the guy walked away and Conan immediately quips "I was just almost murdered"
still makes me laugh today
Watching this and it brought tears in my eyes. I stayed up late night to watch Conan. I was 11 years old at the time (currently 41).
I had a very tough childhood and school wasn’t any easier. I don’t have many fond memories of that time, but Conan always brought me smiles, laughter and I’ll forever be grateful to him.
I love you Conan… never change.
Johnny did the same for me when I was young and sneaking down to the living room to watch the Tonight Show.
There was something about watching humourous, intelligent and thoughtful people late in the darkened room that was very comforting.
I could imagine living in a world someday where I would take part in conversations like that.
And then it came true.
Cheers
Remember Pimp Bot? or the Masturbating Bear? ….in the year 2000…..
I wonder will these younger generations have that?
Sona: "No, keep going, I have a house." LOL, she's a great comic foil for Conan.
Conan is blessed, and he can keep on blessing us. Hope he lives 50 more years of increasing happiness.
No other late night talk show host or Celebrities have made me laugh like Conan, the best part about Conan is he's not only the best Comedian but he's also such a nice human like hes genuinely a good guy and has never let his fans down. There's a reason why he's adored by so many, Congrats! for the 30th anniversary and as Conan says "Upwards and onwards" also cant wait for the new HBO show 😭😭😭
Conan don’t know if you’ll see this, but without a single doubt. My father has seen Johnny Carson and Letterman and he agrees with me that you, are, the undisputed world heavyweight champion of the world. You are the Greatest of all time.
Congratulations to Conan O'Brien and his staff for thirty years of sensational entertainment. The most amazing fact is that Conan is better now, when most hosts would be coasting in their careers, then he ever was while on "Late Night".
The most influential, charismatic, beloved and by far greatest talk show host of all time.
Long live the king!
I “discovered” Conan in 2000 when I got home from a late shift at my first summer job. Couldn’t believe how high-energy and funny he was. Watched almost every night for the rest of high school. So grateful that he’s still making comedy.
2000-2006 are still the golden Conan years to me, for similar reasons.
The clips online of the show Got me thru a dark time around 2015 and some more. Timeless.
yea you talking about those classic remotes and staff videos? TIMELESS. legendary moments. i would watch it on tbs whenever i could. thursdays was the day i could because it was close to the weekend. basic cable was pretty good when our family had it. basic cable in 2023? oh man good luck😂😂😂
@@rzwitdauncut yea my mom back then burst into my room to see what was wrong now...I was laughing to hard at Conan running around NY making food deliveries 😅🤣
I was a teenager in mid 00s. I'd stay up every night to watch the monologue and whatever crazy skit before the interviews. Conan is the 🐐
And I remember watching the first episode when I was a kid. God, I'm old.
Hi Nora, this is your publicist. We're coming out with a press release that you're 25 years old, so please keep your extremely advanced age on the downlow for the time being.
@@HOTD108_ You're open for new clients ?
I feel absolutely blessed to be Conan O'Briens fan for 3/4 of my life.
2:36 Conan's arm rubbing had me hypnotized 😂💕👍
Yes we all love Conan, Sona is looking AMAZING
Conan really is the bestest funny fella ever 🥰🥰🥰 I've been a COCOnut for all 30 years, congrats Conan🎉💕
Thank you Team Coco for the timeless memories
Truly believe he is the best host of all time. The instant chemistry he had with everyone. And if there was an issue, Conan always saved it. Not to mention the hilarious remotes!
The show premiere was when Andy met Conan's parents. His first question to Mrs. O'Brien was "What did you do to him?"
I’ve just started watching the podcasts, but I’ve been a massive Conan fan for 30 years. The sincerity in the first few minutes of this is beautiful. Watching all these clowns stripped down and being humble is food for my soul.
The greatest talk show host of all time!!! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Conan = LITERALLY the only reason to be awake after 11pm from 1995 to now. LITERALLY
Robert Smigel & Triumph, Andrés du Bouchet, Brian Stack, Jordan Schlansky, and Conan are a dream team.
Late night with Conan Obrien talk about Nostalgia!! LOVE LOVE LOVE! Conan is the 🐐 HUGE fan!!!
I've followed Conan for probably 25 out of those 30 years. He was one of the highlights of my childhood! I loved him then and I love him now. I will love him forever!
The trio of Conan, Max and Joel were the golden days of Late Night. I wish some sort of reunion can happen.
I didn't know you in 1993, but I was a freshman at CSUN and saw a man having fun on TV after 12:30am with another man. Don't take that weird. Simply put, you got me through a lot of long nights on several projects, and so I thank you for desk surfing, Triumph and dozens of other bits. Thank you Conan for 30 years of silliness and fun.
I started watching Conan in the summer of 98/99 when I was still in high school and I absolutely loved the comedy back then. Thinking back about this time makes me happy. I was too young to get the full experience of Conan getting his start in 1993 but the stories him and his producers told on the podcast are so interesting. I wouldn't mind watching a docu capturing the media frenzy and sentiment back them.
Conan had some big shoes to fill. I think many people assumed the transition from the iconic "Late Night with David Letterman" to "Late Night with Conan O'Brien" would be a trainwreck. I recently watched Don Giller's compilation of all the times Conan and Dave appeared on each other's shows, and it's a joy to watch. With all the ugliness of... well, Jay Leno, on multiple levels, it was cathartic to see these two legends lift each other up instead of tearing each other down. And when Conan himself got "Lenoed" in 2009-2010? The whole drama that played out before our eyes, culminating in his appearances on "The Late Show", gave new meaning to the phrase "must-see TV".
Conan you are, in a word, a legend. One day I'd love to talk with you, maybe an interview for a story. Or for a podcast. We'll see. But, that's my hope good sir. Keep being amazing. You're inspiring to so many of us. I appreciate it immensely good sir.
You, Andy, and your team has brought me cheer in a lot of dark times and I appreciate you gave the podcasting gig a chance so we can have endless content from you Conan and the CoCo team! ❤
I was a freshman at Harvard at the time. We gathered round the floor's grainy 14-inch trinitron, and cringed in horror and disbelief. This was the vaunted two-time president of the Lampoon? Many years later after we'd all graduated, his show took off, and Conan returned triumphant and gave a Class Day speech for the ages.
Walferd (or, as Conan says, Winnifred) - the _mither_ of the infamous Matt Gourley, liked Conan's show and recommended it to her son. How sweet❤😊
I remember that night. Very funny stuff right off the bat. Happy anniversary!
Hello again , this is Larry. Some thing about Conan! Really love Conan, he’s got something about him that is warm, friendly, and lightens the load of every day life when I watch him, he is gifted, and I’m so glad that I found his podcast! Come on Conan. We’re all welcoming you back! Missed you And take heart in knowing there are many many many people who love you man!
My favourite talk show. Humour was on point. Chemistry with Andy was magic. Conan is just naturally funny and I miss him on TV. I remember the “In the year 2000” with the flashlight segments! Lol
Carson, Letterman, and Conan. The legitimate heirs to the Tonight Show. Also in the words of Letterman, “Don’t Blame Conan”
I was 3 years old when Conan started. I didn't know about Conan till my teens, but I am glad I came across one of his shows. I've been a fan since.
Conan should interview his first guest John Goodman
to check if he sold the medal
@@AlessandroAltosoleChannelYes!
@@AlessandroAltosoleChannel He threw it in the trash. Later, it was given to Joel Godard in 1998.
Conan could sit in a closet, telling all of his stories into a subway PA system-grade microphone, recording on a 7-11 security camera, and I would listen
The first time i seen Conan was aftery parents divorced. I was maybe 9 or 10. Losing tons of sleep..he got me thru some sad times late at nite. Just me and him....Conan was always my favorite. All these years later still feel the same
❤❤❤
It's great to see that Conan's fan base is so young, they don't know when he's joking about how old he is.
I remember watching when Conan first started on late night. I was just starting high school. He was right. I had no idea who he was, but he quickly became "my" late night host. Loved the sense of humor used on the show and the silly segments. Been hooked pretty much since day one.
I'm 26 years old, I remember watching you do Late Night some time in the mid 2000s, the most significant thing I remember was the celebrity impressions with the still faces but the lips would move. There were some tough times growing up as we didn't have alot of money but we could get network TV from our antenna. Leno was boring to me but Conan you always made things funny in a way that I still haven't been able to find elsewhere. I'm rambling now but I guess what I want to say is thank you. You mean so much to so many people across the world.
I remember my first introduction to Conan being his last few episodes of the Tonight Show when I was 9 years old. I thought he was the funniest person ever and made sure to watch the first episode of his TBS show when he came back.
I love Conan. I'd offer my soul to keep him immortal.
I remember when he was on cnbc and absolutely killing it with his quick wit and completely bizarre different comedy...
I love Conan!! Happy 30 Year Anniversary!! A living legend and one of the best interviewers and comic writers of all time.
A friend of mine came over when Conan first hit the air and said I had to turn the tv on there was this "weird guy" who was also really funny on late night. Subsequently, we spent a lot of time watching Conan and laughing at all the insanity. Glad to see he's still going and is as funny as ever.
Like his writing for The Simpsons, on some level it all works because he’s a nice guy and it comes through.
Happy 30th! IT doesnt seem like 30 . You've helped more people than you know through your comedy. Thank you.
I was just a kid sitting in my bedroom with a B&W 'travel TV' watching Conan and SNL way after my bedtime.
Early Conan and The Dana Carvey Show by (insert revovling sponser) were peak comedy in those days.
You were my first late night experience, in the summer of 1994. I was 13. You informed my sense of comedy, just by seeing what you did. I'm still in awe.
I'm almost 43. Ya old, boi. :p
Masturbating Bear, FedEx Pope, et al.
Was FedEx Pope a paid promotion from FedEx?
42 here 😂. Conan is so underrated. His team really were ahead or their time, with memes, voice overs. Chappelle and Tracy Morgan were my favorite guest because Conan would set up their jokes.
Gen Xer here. Conan, I was raised on Letterman. But you are more likable than ever. Over these last 30 years. You are the king, my friend.
it always shocks me whenever I'd hear about Conan's start as a late night host and the struggles and criticisms he faced back then. I discovered Conan via his remotes in youtube (since we dont have tbs or nbc in our country) and his wit and comedic timing is so flawless, to the point that i still laugh at his schtick even if i've already watched a video of his a couple of times. His comedic talents are insanely good that I can't believe critics back then didn't like him. I don't think any hosts can even compare to him. Anyway, I hope Conan knows that he is appreciated by many people around the world and i truly wish nothing but the best for him and his team. :)
The best of the best! I'd love to hear more about the tour after the Tonight Show debacle. I was lucky enough to see him live in San Francisco during that tour and it was easily one of the best live performances I've ever experienced. So much fun.

What I love about Conan is that his journey compels me to look at my own life and be grateful for the stumbles and bumbles that led to the great things. His TBS show and remotes got me through grad school and his podcast got me through Covid. Thankful to be living in Conan and his gang's era and see these milestones with them...
Kinda awesome that Conan's career took off on my birthday. :)
I remember watching the first show. Conan seemed a little nervous but did a good job. I regret not watching Conan on tbs because I didnt have basic cable. :(
Conan truly is the best to ever do it in my opinion, and fundamentally influenced my life with his comedy. I'm so happy about it and I hope he realizes how many people deeply appreciate him for his comedy as well as his character..
Through Saturday Night Live, The Simpsons, and his late night show, Conan has been a huge influence on my life for the past 35 years, and counting.
Happy 30th Anniversary, Conan. I'm so thankful that you've persevered, over the years, with your shows and podcasts.
Conan changed late night forever and is the best one ever
Well, I suppose, that's what I like about Conan and his crew. He doesn't look at his old (and new) colleagues as mere colleagues from work; a lot of these acquaintances became long lasting friendships - and he values them like family. In that light, even though he was a writer on The Simpsons, Conan is - by all means - a true family guy. Keep up the good work guys, you're always pulling it off to make someone laugh (judging from my very own experience), even after a rough, messed up day. And that is just pure gold, ... which merits a Team-Coco colored heart: 🧡, 🙏
I didn’t get to start watching Conan until I was in high school and it was usually Friday nights when I could stay up late. Many remotes and skits are seared into my memory. It’s also nice to know that Andy was given a chance to shine as Conan’s sidekick, I can’t imagine a show without him!
"No no no, we need you to keep going, I have a house to pay off" - I love this woman!
I remember the first time I saw Conan, when David Letterman introduced him as the new host of late night. As soon as he walked out my friends and I all thought, oh, no, there's no way this guy will last, but in about five minutes he had us all laughing so hard we wanted to see him succeed. Thank goodness he did.
Congrats on 30 years Conan! I was becoming an adult right around when you started the show. Your lightning quick wit and sense of humor really spoke to me at that time and very much formed a lot of my own sense of humor. You are definitely my generation's GOAT! Thanks for 30 years, and looking forward to many more years of laughter!
Thanks Conan for the countless nights with countless laughs and being a distant “friend” for me when I had just moved to a cold and rainy Seattle from a foreign country. You actually helped me learn English. Lol
You are flat out the best, funnier, sharper, brighter, nicer, most talented, most articulate, most educated talk show host in history and you’re an amazing human being/father/husband/friend.
You do make our lives better. It has been an honor watching you for decades.
Now, get a new show going, stop your “vacation” (lol) and entertain the masses again.
Make this nation smart again.
Been watching since my college roommate introduced me to CoCo in 1996. Going out on a limb....Conan travel segments are the absolute best!!! Ireland, Italy, Houston ("pimpbot"), Finland, Germany, Cuba. Simply genius!
Congratulations Conan🎉. You and Dave are my two favourite late night hosts, and I am so glad that you have reached this milestone. Through all these years, you have provided me with so much laughter and joy, and I thank you for that.
I started watching Conan in the spring of 2002 and never looked back. Conan and Jon Stewart saw me through a really trying and challenging decade, keeping s smile on my face when things were going sideways for everyone.
We love you Conan ! Thank you for the wonderful 30 years of comedy gold❤
Congrats Conan! You deserve all the flowers in the world!
I was 13 when Conan started and watched the show on Friday and all summer. I remember during some scenes thinking “I gotta see this again”. This was before TiVo and UA-cam. Now I’m happy to see quite a few of these clips on UA-cam.
Have always adored the show. Always had the best bands, sketches, and remotes!
The best to ever do it
Best of best always forever 🎉
I now just realized Conan is 60. Aged like a fine port! Like Grimsby perhaps
Love you Coco! Been a fan since I was just a little kid with a sleeping disorder! I just turned 40, and you’ve been a huge influence on me for most of it, thank you and your friends and staff, and Jeff Goldblum, for so many great years! ❤🎉🍻
Sona: "I need you to keep going. I have a house to pay off." HAHA
When you remember how badly Jay Leno screwed him over, his career is proof that he's actually probably a genuinely good person. Most people would have fallen to bitterness, and Conan just went about building his own brand while keeping kindness and respect in his heart.
I once saw Conan at SeaTac airport helping some women retrieve their luggage from the carousel. I don't think he knew them. He was just being a sweetheart. He's top shelf, that Conan O'Brien.
I was born in 1991 and have no memories of David letterman or Jay Leno (I guess I remember Leno, but he never made me laugh.) the iconic memories I do have from the late night era are all Conan, his band triumph the insult dog. since then late night really hasn’t been the same. Now 25 years after discovering Conan, I still listen to every podcast episode and he has helped me through some very dark times in my life. Thank you all.
Congrats on 30 years! ❤ you!
Congratulations on 30th anniversary! 🥳🎉🎉🎉I started watching his show in 2012 on tbs. I'm happy I could watch his late night clips online. He is the only talk show I've ever watch.
Best cold open for a show ever.

Carson and Letterman may be the godfathers of late night, but Conan is the one who perfected it. Many have tried, but none have been able to capture lightning in a bottle like Conan and his production crew.
Literally never heard or felt anything bad about Conan. He's like my dad dude!!
I don’t think I will ever stop having a crush on this man. Conan is the GOAT 🧡🥰
Discovered Conan when my family first got satellite TV in 2001 and been a fan ever since! Team Coco forever! 😁
I love seeing this Try Channel cross over with Conan. Team Coco unite!
Thank you so much Conan and the whole team for all the joy you've brought to my life ❤
"I have a house to pay off" I AGREE!!! Conan, keep paying Sona.
Conan's cousin was my social studies teacher when I was a senior in high school. Her parting advice to us was to watch him when we started college in the fall. So that fateful evening on Sept. 13, 1993, I turned on the TV at 12:30 am to watch Conan's debut and I was instantly hooked by his unusual brand of comedy.
Conan is 60. 60!!!!
The episode with an all kids audience is still the best.
