"Everywhere is walking distance if you have the time." My favorite one-liner ever. That little idea left a permanent imprint in my brain when I first heard it.
Im only 23 and Canadian bacon is a classic love him rest well John candy your boy here still kicken LFG
One of Steven's best. Funny and makes you contemplate at the same time.
Mine is; "There's a fine line between fishing and just standing on the shore like an idiot".
I like to walk my dog on a ledge 20 stories up. I'm not afraid of heights. I'm afraid of widths.
~~lol~~🤣🤣🤣
In 40 odd years, this may be the first time I have seen Steven laugh!
Even when he did talk shows, he carried his dead pan to the couch.
Just the most perfect stoic of all time.
I think Craig Ferguson and Conan are the only hosts I've seen Steven laugh with.
@@groofay amen . Him and Craig were magic together and Craig cracked him up often
I was thinking the same. And he's such a great laugher.
I bet it feels other worldly for Conan during interviews with comedians he's idolized when he really makes them laugh like that
Buster Keaton is the great stone face. He will always be the great stone face. No one will ever supplant him.
As much as I love Steven, this is as objective a fact as the color of the sky.
I love comedians who laugh very freely. So to see Steven laugh so much at Conan's awesome bits, is so great.

I interviewed Lewis Black (over the telephone lines) while he was in a Ramada Inn in the Midwest. I never heard a more happy, jovial comedian.
To hear Steven Wright laugh out loud is some of the most wholesome things I've ever witnessed. We're so used to his dry and nonchalant delivery, but also his absurd twists in story-telling, i feel it made us all believe that he was never surprised at anything 😂❤
"You know that feeling when you lean back on a chair and it's just before it falls back? I feel that way all the time." -Steven Wright
There is no greater joy than seeing Steven Wright laugh.
Yeah that was a highlight.
you can tell that Conan feels the same - even better that he is the person making him laugh
@kenscarpa2318~~My son got me to listen to this guy like over 10 years ago~~He told me I probably wouldn't like him~~It was my day off and started watching him~~My son walked in the door and said I heard you laughing when I pulled up in front of the house~~He noticed I was watching Steven and I had gut pains from laughing so hard~~I said this guy is a total trip~~He really wasn't sure I'd like him~~Years passed before I accidently found him again~~He pulls me out of my depressions~~I'm so happy he never changed in his older years~~My other fav comedian was George Carlin~~May he R.I.P.~~🤣🤣🤣
Came here to say the same thing. He laughs like a 6 year old at a fart joke. Genuine, honest laughter. It's utterly beautiful.
I feel dumb to admit this but I've never heard of this guy. And now I'm seeing clips of his comedy and he's fantastic. Plus this interview was just great. Just like he shows how deadpan can be so funny and varied, this interview showed you don't have to construct a fake conversation or image to be entertaining. It's just a fascinating conversation so long as both people are honest, an have amazing experience.
💯
Good for you! Wright has made a point of being "evergreen". His comedy is so weird and abstract that it holds up.
Im only 23 and Canadian bacon is a classic love him rest well John candy your boy here still kicken LFG
"Feelin kinda hyper" 😆😆😆
Steven Wright just read your post and said, "Oh, THAT guy again..."
Steven's writing is so strong that it's hilarious just on paper, with no need for spin on the delivery. Then add his organic un-forced demeanor in his delivery, and you have magic.
This is some damn good therapy for PTSD. Steven Wright laughing that hard gets you in the feels.
My god, I have never seen Steven Wright laugh. It's a beautiful thing.
Just like when Norm went on the old shows, the best guests give zero shits. It's so great to hear Steven Wright just enjoying himself and riffing back and forth with Conan. This podcast is gold, and right up there with the Jack McBrayer and Kevin Nealon episodes.
Harland Williams is who I think made Conan laugh the hardest because he was beyond off the wall. Conan is the best late night host ever because he spent 100% of his time trying to make whatever the guest was doing, work. Plus he never went woke. I can't stand Colbert, Kimmel etc. They're just pandering idiots for a political ideology. Conan just wanted to make friends and make people laugh.
Steven Wright is an ASMR joke machine.
Conan combed his hair with a firecracker that morning.
I have loved Steven Wright ever since I came across him in middle school. I would repeat his jokes to my friends and it ended up being a test of how smart they were. Those of us that got it really bonded.
That being said, I've never seen Steven smile and laugh so much. It's simultaneously awesome and a little unsettling.
You came across him when you were 14? So it's you he "wasn't thinking about" on stage.
If any of us had placed bets on who would be laughing the most during this interview, we would have absolutely lost our money.
Like everyone else on here, many of us seeing Steven laugh for the first time was a real treat. Once again Conan is the master of late night comedy and of course comedy podcasts.
I love Steven Wright, great to see him this decade.
It's fantastic to hear someone make Steven Wright laugh.
Steven Wright is a legend!!!! Great interview. Conan never disappoints. To me he is on the Mount Rushmore of late night hosts and this podcast platform has proven that he is one of the best comedians of all time.
Seeing Steven Wright laughing like this warms my heart. He's my favorite comedian. Hearing him for the first time changed my life. It just clicked... like nothing else had. It was like hearing The Beatles for the first time.
I used to work in the ski rental shop at a ski mountain in upstate NY. One day Steven Wright came in and I fitted his skiis. It was a surreal moment.
It's time to go full video with the pod. This is an iconic interview
surely there's an in-house cow that licks conan's hair every time he comes in.
Not in house, I believe they're on contract.
that's a rude way to refer to Gourley
They indeed are on contract. When the contract is up, he has to return them to Jack McBrayer.
Steven Wright was definitely one of those forces of nature in comedy in my teenage years.Good to see him here.
Steven Wright is brilliant and one of a kind. I don't think there will ever be another comic quite like him. Wonderful interview.
Conan is one word FUNNY. He also comes off like a nice guy. I’ve always been a fan of Steven Wright. My first time watching this. Think I’m gonna enjoy “Conan O’Brien needs a friend”.
Steven Wright was absolutely hilarious as Speed the turtle in The Swan Princess (1994).
“I think I pulled a muscle.” 💖😂💖
When I was a kid the 80s, Columbia House put these flyers in the paper where you could get six cassette tapes for a penny and yes you were supposed to tape a penny to it and mail it in. Then they would send you a form with related titles like every two weeks that you had to mail back saying you didn't want them or else they'd send them automatically and your mom would have to write a check to bail you out and cancel your "membership". Anyway, I taped a penny to one and got six tapes including White Lion, Stryper, Def Leppard, DJ Jazzy Jeff and the Fresh Prince, The Fat Boys, and Steven Wright's "I Have a Pony". That last one had the more of an effect on me than anything else.... thankfully.
I was super diligent about getting those intro CD's and then cancelling. I did it a few times, tearing off the little squares of the music I wanted. Never got a comedy album though. I didn't realize that 30 years later I'd regret that decision. Thanks for making me feel bad just before bed. Jerk.
@@jasondashney Hey we all have regrets in life. Yours is just worse than most, and I hope you suffer for it.
It takes a minute to get the “leave a nasty stain part”. Dark af
This is the most excited ive ever been for a podcsst guest and it delivered in ways I never expected. Love the joy and willingness to laugh and applaud the bits
Really great to see Steven Wright I always found his comedy funny as hell and thought provoking.
2:10 Not surprising at all that he’s not “laid back” in his mind. One must have a sharp mind to be as good as Steven Wright. He has a brain that is functioning at a high capacity. The ability to create, analyze, use language skills, and perception. The great comedians usually have this gift. It’s like being able to think of a million things at once and still pay attention.
I was lucky enough to see Steven Wright live. He was awesome, of course.
Joe Egan and Gerry Rafferty were a duo known as Stealer's Wheel when they recorded this Dylanesque, pop, bubble-gum favorite from April of 1974; that reached up to number five, as K-Billy's Super Sounds of the Seventies weekend continues.
Conan making Steven laugh is the best.
Steven may talk slow but he thinks at lightning speed... one of the most underrated but funniest comedians 🤣
I love that they see Conan every day and he still KILLS them every time
Conan treats Steven like the comedy master he is but Conan's comeback about the bamboo, 'I finish their sentences for them', was truly the work of a king. To get there that quickly and smoothly was beautiful comedy. Definitely my favorite laugh in the segment.
Gotta love seeing Conan make Steven Wright crack up like that!
A man who became a legend without using foul language.
I listened to this whole episode today and had to look this up - you can tell how much satisfaction Conan gets from making Stephen write laugh - I can really relate to making certain people laugh. given their persona it is just so rewarding sometimes and you can tell they both get a lot out of their friendship
I legit did not know Steven Wright ever laughed. I love it!
Two of my absolute favorites. So glad for this conversation
You made him laugh, Conan! That made my life!
My gut hurts from watching these two guys go at it!
All these years of Steven Wright and my calendar still doesn't have any sevens. Cheers to the legend.
Steven dresses like Susie Myerson.
Amazing how Wright did his comedy at all. An hour show was like 400 one liners one after another. How do you remember all those jokes let alone deliver them seamlessly.
this interview is poetry
Love his dead pan delivery
Telling Steven Write jokes as your own to a Dr. Will land you 72 hours supervised hospital stays.
“Thurgood, the robbery is what’s important NOW”.
It looks like Conan's hair is attempting to escape his head! 😂
I swear Steven Wright and Sean Penn should do a vocal performance together.
Sonya laughing was awesome
Steven laughing at Conan is the best
Steven Wright, Stanley Kubrick and Martin Scorsese have won an equal number of Academy Awards.
the world needs more of these 2 motherfuckers
just a few days ago I was bitching on my twitter about how the hardest part of cleaning a cat litter box is the wiping down afterward, that it's "gotta be drier than a Steven Wright HBO comedy special"
All I can hear in my head through this whole clip is: 'Joey Egan and Jerry Rafferty were a duo known as Steeler's Wheel when they recorded this Dylanesque, pop-bubblegum favorite in April of 1974. That reached up to number 5 on the charts as K-Billy's super sounds of the seventies... continues. '
Why is the man insecure about his laugh. He has a great hearthy laugh with him! Laugh out loud Steven!
I want Steven to narrate my life. He can add the jokes at will
I hope the real interview is 3 hours long. I will pay for the unedited version Conan.
Beautiful guy (and a friend of the late, great Barry Crimmins). So great.
When people say 'comedians are todays philosophers', they are talking about Steven Wright.
"If we took all the sponges out of the sea we would drown" I heard this as a little kid in the UK on some late show and my mum nearly had to call someone I laughed for hours I would stop for a bit and think of it again I dunno just my type of comedy.
It just dawned on me: Steven Wright is the J Mascis of comedy - and vice versa 😃
I want to know Steven's four rules more than anything in the world now!
"I have an extensive collection of seashells which I keep scattered around the beaches of the world." - Steven Wright.
conan mustve lost it at how much he made an idol die laughing
Still my favorite joke was Steven had a big beard. Conan complimented him in his large beard. Steven just goes "thanks. I grew it out for a movie I'm gonna watch."
That hat is perfection
Still not posting full videos, damn shame.
Steven Wright is staggeringly delightful
In college, I told the speed of light/interview joke, and my roommate, the now physicist, explained it. "well, if you are in the car, you see the lights, but if you are not in the car, you don't see the lights"
"Do you think in Europe they call Miles Davis Kilometers Davis?"
The only guy I've ever seen get Steven to that point was Craig Ferguson, who is another original thinker in comedy like Steven and Conan. If those three were ever together at the same time, some of Conan's 10 rules would have to be suspended.
Those shows with Craig Ferguson are gold
Could you imagine Robin Williams and Steven Wright on stage together 😂😂😂😅😅😅
If you haven't seen it, look up the Steven Wright on Craig Ferguson compilation.
It made me happy today to see Steven Wright laughing his ass off. ✌️
just finished hearing the podcast... it left a nasty stain in my brain!!! awesome!
My favorite Stephen Wright joke is about when he was a kid, he had a dog with two vaginas... he named her "Snatches" 🤣
So long as Steven Wright doesn't drive an unmarked white van I am totally ok with this interview.
2 Legends!
Excellent
my two favorites of all time Steven Wright and Norm Macdonald > God Rest his soul
This is WONDERFUL!!!
Steven learned you can't be serious with Conan.
@5:40🤣😂🤣
Conan made him laugh? And he laughed because it was funny. Never heard "the guy on the couch" laugh before. And smile too. Conan is funny too. Underrated.
I'm glad Conan called him out on that weird hat. 😁
Conan is the GOAT!
Definitely puts a smile on my face when I hear his voice. He’s the king
This was a really great episode.
Comedy gold! 🤣
Legend!
Conan one upped him in the humor game during this podcast, not easily done.
I just realized I've never heard Steven Wright laugh. 🤔
I love you Conan. You’ve the best, I always wanted to be a writer on your show (definitely not on that level though) and or at least meet you.
I still have I Have A Pony on cassette tape
