I always thought it was because that’s what everyone called his show no one ever said they’re watching late night with Conan or the tonight show with Conan everyone used to just say I’m watching Conan..
I think Conans story is always going to be a bit somber because he feels a bit like the guy who was so close but never quite got to the top, for a lot of reasons.
Getting canned from NBC was the best thing that ever happened for him. He did his best work in the years following. TBS have him complete creative control!
One thing that did kind of hurt him was the fact that a lot of famous bits he did on NBC were scrapped when he went to TBS. But he made up for it in other ways by starting up regular bits like the Clueless Gamer. I have wondered one thing though. Even on his last week on TBS he never once (as far as I know) even mentioned Norm, not even including him in a montage of past clips from the show. From what I've gathered online it appears that at some point a few years ago he said something publicly that got some controversy which would explain his absence from the show the past few years. But I've wondered if this was a decision made by Conan or if this was a TBS decision.
I have a terrible memory and forgot about all the Conan/Leno drama, but re-watching this monologue now at 32 years old has brought it all back. This man is such a great entertainer.
I just watched this after Conan's final tonight show monologue. He had a bit in there about how sometimes in life things just have to end a decade too soon. Now I'm watching this and thinking about how his last show was a couple weeks ago. So he managed 11 years on TBS after things ended '1 on NBC, something a bit poetic about that. I don't think Conan's the kind of guy who would have cared about making a bit less money as long as he was comfortable and doing something he loved, so in the end it all worked out for the dude.
Conan is the best late night talk show host of all time. His very first episode of late night was ridiculously meta before meta was popularized. He went out on a limb to do his style of humor when he could have easily conformed to what other hosts had done before. He was also behind some of my favorite simpsons characters and stories. Conan is an American treasure, he has contributed so much to the evolution of comedy.
“O’Brien the day you get your own talk show is the day there’s peace in the Middle East.” Coco brought peace to north, south, east and west! The WORLD!🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡👑👑
The GOAT of late night TV. I've never really been one to get starstruck but going to his show when I was in America and even just seeing him and Andy from the audience seats, it felt surreal.
Obviously from the comments everybody loves Conan. Not only for his show, but how generous he is, and he's still a great father. He always makes time for his kids. ❤
@@Alex-956 Yup! Conan hired her as his assistant when he moved to California to do The Tonight Show. He just kept her through losing Tonight, through his TBS show
Minute and a half standing ovation with "Conan" chant. They were showing him the LOVE here after the year-and-a-half NBC exile. 8:15 - Of all the characters/dialects Conan does, I'd say his "nerd" and/or "robot" is the one that fires him up the most!
That’s what I noticed about the man. Even in before his first appearance on stage on tour. He was so scared...even after countless appearances in front of millions for decades. No other talk show man has been this vulnerable to all.
You should see his very first episode on NBC. Hilarious!! Nobody expects it to be good because Conan is an unknown then, but the guy who produces the show urged Conan to do it. The opener of the first show is hilarious because of that. ❤
This was a great show. Too bad that Conan and Company could not sustain higher viewing levels. Poor/inconsistent lead-ins were probably the major problem. This show was well produced.
@@lickitysplit3575 I believe that he once said on the show that his wife didn't like the beard and made him shave it off around 2012 and that's why it hasn't been seen since.
This is Conan at the height of his powers in my book. His whole time at NBC he was waiting and struggling to get to Tonight Show host. After NBC screwed him over, he said F U, rose from the ashes as his own man, and knocked it out of the freaking park. NBC was only holding him back.
He predicted everyone on the internet are rabbits, *crunching on a carrot*..... woah no waaaaayyyy.... Just kidding I never eat carrots, I am a staunch unhealthy eater. Have a lovely day! Yea CONAN!
"Some people ask why I named the show Conan. I did it so I'd be harder to replace." That's a flawless opener.
didn't work for Roseanne lol
I always thought it was because that’s what everyone called his show no one ever said they’re watching late night with Conan or the tonight show with Conan everyone used to just say I’m watching Conan..
the best thing is it's probably actually true lmfao
@@BPEJS24-7didn't work for Valerie either.
This hits different after watching the finale on TBS.
Absolutely. And considering it’s already 11 years old? I’m pretty shook Conan’s run on TV is ending :/
Yes really does 😪 I cried so much last night during the ep 😭😭
i miss conan so much already :(. :( why did he have to leave now we are stuck with fallon colbert trevor noah James corden and seth myers
And now he's gone. I guess it's Jimmy Kimmel now. 😪

That HBO joke aged just perfectly
DANG IT i was about to say that, congrats for getting to it first
I actually said that just as I read your comment
1. Broadast 2. Cable 3. HBO... The longest of cons.
I came to the comments right after he said that 😂
@@Doonster Me, too.
Guest on first show: Jack White
Guest on last show: Jack Black
That has to be a coincidence and a good one.
Fade to Black
back to black
Is there a famous Jack Grey on the world?
@@Alex-956 There's still time till Conan's next show for HBO. We need a Jack Grey to step up

@@syphruskid Wow i was actually thinking why Norm wasn't on one of the final episodes. It makes me sad because Norm is the man and one of the GOATs
@@syphruskid I think it was him making a joke about the word retard
@@syphruskid well now we know why. Norm was probably too sick to appear.... RIP
@@spatepheni Man :(
I love how nervous he is. He’s such a real dude.
3:10 10.5 years later he’s going to HBO lmao.
Full circle lol
I love how hype the crowd was for his first tbs show!! Proves how much he was loved and missed at the time
I have a terrible memory and forgot about all the Conan/Leno drama, but re-watching this monologue now at 32 years old has brought it all back. This man is such a great entertainer.
This man can do no wrong in my eyes. One day I hope to meet him
Why?
2 years later I wonder if they ever had their dream come true
As someone said.
The greatest to ever do it.
The first show had Jack White and the last show had Jack Black…. Interesting
HMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM
Racist.

Sooooo true! Mind blown 😵
Perfectly balanced as all things should be

Damn .. I'm actually crying watching this. Will miss him a lot
@@jakezukerman9846 lol
Can’t afford HBO ?
it's the most heartwarming feeling to see him this happy. he deserves all the best in the world.
12 years later.. I can still remember watching this live.
Me too.
"That lasted longer than my
last job" was underrated
I can't believe it's been over 10 years. Feels like yesterday.

Only Conan can say "that's a not a joke" and still get laughter. One of the best late night hosts of all time.
conan is very funny but that's one of the oldest jokes in the book
Start to finish this is a flawless monologue. The part about midnight and daylight savings time is genius - and the digs at NBC are *chef's kiss*

I remember my brother made me watch this live when I was 12 years old. Wasn't that familiar w Conan at the time, but he gained a new fan that day
“O’Brien the day you get your own talk show is the day there’s peace in the Middle East.”
Coco brought peace to north, south, east and west!
The WORLD!🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡👑👑
Conan is just pure class, my favorite late show host ever, #teamcoco always
not ready to say goodbye
Conan has some of the most loyal fans. We genuinely love him so much ♥️
The GOAT of late night TV. I've never really been one to get starstruck but going to his show when I was in America and even just seeing him and Andy from the audience seats, it felt surreal.
My biggest regret was not watching Conan when he was still on and by the time I became a fan and was going to, his show ended
“That lasted longer than my last job” 😂
NBC jokes never get old.
Obviously from the comments everybody loves Conan. Not only for his show, but how generous he is, and he's still a great father. He always makes time for his kids. ❤
I’ve been looking for his first monologue on TBS for yearrssss since I missed it the day it aired. Thanks so much for uploading!
So far one leno fan watched this and downvoted. It was probably leno himself!
I can't be the only Conan fan who also likes Leno.
Leno himself downvoted this
@Ted Wilson yeah, leno is great.
a Great asshole.
Jay Leno and all his 10 fans downvoted this.
Leno created 12 accounts so he could downvote this video 12 times
I'm crying and feel like its all over. Gotta be honest he was the best comedian that stood out the most, more than jimmy and Jimmy.
if you dont think Jimmy Fallon is the best comedian of all-time then there is something truly wrong with you! PEOPLE LIKE YOU DISGUST ME!!!!!!!
I’ve been looking for this!!! Thank you!!!
Never knew anything about late night shows until I started watching Lopez Tonight which introduced me to Conan, the MJ of late night
Haha the ironic thing is NOW hbo is cheaper than a cable package with tbs
Why do you think he's moving to hbo
Sona's first week of work!
Didn't she start in 2009?
@@Alex-956 just check the last episode when conan says thanks to sona !
She was on the Legally Prohibited from Being Funny on Television Tour which preceded this.
@@Alex-956 Yup! Conan hired her as his assistant when he moved to California to do The Tonight Show.

The energy here is unreal 💙💙
the Final Episode Of CONAN ('O Brien) (on (W)TBS) airs on Thursday / June 24, 2021 !!!!
THANK YOU FOR THIS!!
King of Late Night
The best thing tbs ever did
Awesome!
Can you post Conan 2010 opening monologues please?
Huge Conan fan!
Remember when the biggest problem our country had was the Leno-Letterman-Conan love triangle? Happy days
You should see his very first episode on NBC. Hilarious!! Nobody expects it to be good because Conan is an unknown then, but the guy who produces the show urged Conan to do it. The opener of the first show is hilarious because of that. ❤
Fun fact: Conan’s hair hook is called a pompadour!
I didn’t know, but I thought it looked a red panda that got cooked.
I love that his first words to Andy were for him to shut up
This was a great show. Too bad that Conan and Company could not sustain higher viewing levels. Poor/inconsistent lead-ins were probably the major problem. This show was well produced.
14 Years Ago.
Lol. He has sooo much more energy!!!! 😁
Conans show was for people who actually had a sence of humor 🤣😂😆
So many references that anyone today whose 20 years old or younger wont get in that all news in one joke joke.
He should have kept the beard
Ahead of his time
Back in 2010 the beard was very edgy because it was generally not a common look until like the mid-10s
@@lickitysplit3575 I believe that he once said on the show that his wife didn't like the beard and made him shave it off around 2012 and that's why it hasn't been seen since.

one of the greatest f*cking monologues in late night history 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭
I wanna put a portrait of Conan O’Brien in my House!
He was the first comedy heroes I looked up to!
3:12 ironic that he's on hbo now 😂
That HBO joke is all to real now. 😂. Cannot wait for his new stuff.
5:14 every live audience show after we return to normal
#teamcoco !!!!
love conan!!!!
3:05 and hes now moving to HBO
This is such a great pick-me-up video, especially if you know it’s background story.
HOW DOES THIS ONLY HAVE ONE DISLIKE FROM JAY LENO?? CONAN IS GOAT
Jimmy, Jimmy, Colbert and 5 others also disliked it.
#teamcoco
Such a legend :D Too bad i couldnt watch this in Finland
He and Letterman were the best at late night and both got screwed by NBC
Does anyone know where we can watch full episodes of this? The TBS show to be specific
TBS made the best buisiness move hiring conan coz he prolly made them much more known
Mom O'Brien: "I see you didn't get The Tonight Show this time."
Conan: "What you gonna do, mom?"
Oh, wait, that was another former NBC 12:35 host.
He looks so young
He began with jack white, and ended with jack black, but seth rogen was there the whole time
I miss the beard who’s with me
Nahhh ... it aged him, rather like the 'Col-Beard' ...
Proved to be step better than tonight show. He killed tonight show with his tbs show.
13th anniversary!
❤️❤️❤️❤️
the head pop at 1:00 he's got some good dancing skills
🔥🔥🔥
Imagine disliking this video
It's an idea whose time's come.😂😂😂
Love how Leno, Jimmy, Jimmy, Colbert and 5 others also disliked it.
He's friends with Colbert
@@bengui9749 nobody said Conan was perfect
The "demon kids" he's talking about at the beginning are actually that artist's kids 😂
What's with the sound
Big oof at @3:06
the joke about the name of the show is actually probably true 😭
Anyone realised he shook Norm's hand at the start
wwowo first onme memeber
Conan loves what's happening to Mavis right now 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
