Conan Says Thank You To David Letterman | CONAN on TBS
/ teamcoco - Комедії
What a class act. You NEVER see any talk show host (let alone anyone as big as Conan) literally tell his audience to stop watching his show and switch to another one. That's a very large display of class.
NESherv Jimmy Kimmel told everyone that they would be airing a rerun, because he has the same time slot as Dave. He wants them to watch his hero say good bye!
NESherv Kimmel did say the exact same thing and he's showing a rerun when Letterman is on . Conan's still my favourite late night host though! Just wanted to point that out.
Leno wasn't the reason Kimmel got his job. Kimmel said last night that after being a guest on Dave's show, ABC liked him so much that they gave him a show
payz hayz LOL!
***** Yeah, it's not the smartest move moneywise, but Conan is so big, that it's not going to affect anything
Conan is now the best late night host on television.
TheHehe1223 Hate comparing the two...Both are great in different ways
TheHehe1223 After Carson, Paar, and Letterman, Conan is up there as the best in general. He knows how to interview and has class.
You should watch Kimmel's send off. He couldn't hardly speak from getting choked up and he said the same thing that conan did about watching Dave's show instead of his. Dave had such a huge impact on these guys and there's no words to describe the respect.
Not only on earth... On his Home planet hes the best one too
TheHehe1223 John Oliver doesn't count ? Just asking.
"At one of the lowest points in my life, when I was a 30-year-old national punchline, Dave...for reasons that I still don't understand...completely rescued me." Damn that hit me right in the heart.
Jesus did the same for me
@@alexm7627 Dave looks better on a cross.
@@cainster i dont doubt it, considering Jesus wasnt meant to be looking good on that cross, the bible even says he barely looked human
@@alexm7627 The Bible is a work of fiction. Like Conan's virginity, or Dave's natural hair.
Once again. A kind man, a legend, one of the funniest people on the planet with a good damn heart. Literally told the viewers to please go switch to his show & help him go out with a BANG. Who else would have done that? NO ONE.
didn't Kimmel do the same ?
"jay leno" said no one ever.
conan is a man of honor as it seems :D
Actually, is not that rare to see that with late night host, many late night host did it for Carson's last show. Is normal when one of the best late night hosts retires.
Kimmel did
By the time Conan wants to retire we will have technologies to keep him alive...forevvverrrr.
no hes 52 mate old af
Organnabis YASSS
Organnabis Of course, he'll be a head in a Jar. but he'll have to lose his freakishly long legs in war.
Organnabis In the year 3000
Organnabis conan already has the technology, he is a 300 year old irish man who moved to Massachusetts in the early 1800's. He became a vampire in the boat he arrived in.
interesting that with Dave leaving Conan is now the longest running late night guy. Conan started in an era when people only watched TV shows on TV, and has survived in the era where people watch clips of TV shows on youtube via their ipad. Conans longevity is incredibly impressive.
The man has and at his age and looks 20 years younger Than he is. He will live forever
Juan Carlos Trust me, that's the make up.
lunaspite Yes, Conan basically started about the same time as the internet!
***** That's not why people don't watch live TV anymore, people were just as busy 20 & 30 years ago!!! I do less now than I did 5 years ago, yet I still watch less live TV. It's because we can, so we do, it's easier.
+SomeoneOrOther09 I agree!
I can't imagine that day when Conan will air his last show..... Please dont Conan. Please dont let your comedic genius leave us!!
For dem likes
I think Conan will do this until his a very old man. Conan will be one whacky 75 year old, gonna be great
Oh God, this made my heart stop a little bit and I went blank... I love Conan
Michelle Mae Simplicio same he is my role model
Unfortunately Fallon and Kimmel are lording it over late night ratings now. I'm a huge Coco fan, and firmly believe he is the best at what he does today. Hopefully his future also includes HBO, Comedy Central or Netflix where he can really exhibit his genius.
Conan: I'm old enough to remember Johnny Carson in the 60's. Johnny gave David Letterman his chance to make it, and David came on your show and saved it, then in the future you owe it to some other struggling up and coming late night host to go on their show and give them the same boost that Johnny gave Dave and Dave gave you. Pay it forward. Go Team Coco.
too bad pete holmes show didn't make it too far...
Conan already helped countless people by bringing his entire crew to tbs..
And he paid his writers and stage crew out of his own pocket during the writers strike and that horrible tonight show fiasco.
Pete was made for the internet. Television is a dying medium.
I don't imagine network television will survive much longer as it is. Not that there aren't good shows to be found there.
well said
It's funny, for a long time I thought Letterman was boring, then a few years ago I heard Conan say something about Dave's influence on him, so I started going back and watching the old shows and watching Dave's early days, and the man was amazing. It gave me a whole new respect for Letterman. I for one will miss him. Thanks Dave.
Vyselink Same thing happened for me but with Conan. I'm not sure why, but every time I watched him back in the day, I thought he was incredibly unfunny. Then I started watching him within the past year or so, now I think he's hilarious and one of the best late show hosts out there! My guess is maybe he either improved or I was just too young to appreciate his humor at the time :P
VyselinkI was born in '83 - and, i remember Dave's old show a little bit - but, i do remember when you took over Conan....and, i knew what they said about you. But....you, coming off the Simpsons, and transitioning to late night, was a helluva shift. And, i'm glad you took it! There are very few of you left with such....honor. Dave, You, Kimmel - It's gonna be weird not to see Dave on CBS. Just like it was weird to not see you on NBC anymore. Jay doesn't have the class - And, even Lopez, if he was doing the show still - he would have the EXACT same words! I can see Dave in you - as well as yourself, you've come a long way. You've taken a beating - but, you came out strong in the end. And, Unlike Jay - Dave's gonna go out in Style just as Carson did.
Vyselink i stayed home from school to watch his debut when he was on in the morning. he was throwing pencils through glass on that very first show.
Vyselink What are some of the best episodes from back in the day that I should watch?? Also where can I find them?
Jason A anything with andy kaufman is usually good. i can't think of specific episodes, far too many, but just look up old clips with kaufman for a start
I cried in all of the many videos of talk show hosts thanking Letterman and I'm not even american.
Cecilia Gabriela I laughed and i'm not even Mexican.
Check Mate.
Cecilia Gabriela I dry cleaned my sofa.
black mamba My fish tanks on fire.
Jimmy T I shat on the pot.
Dan 123 I stoned a man to death, does that make me a stoner?
Dam Conan looks likes he's gonna cry. You can tell he is very thankful to Dave.
Wilbur Jenkins Jimmy Kimmel nearly cried too
Norm macdonald cried on his last appearance on Letterman.
@@Tabish29 he did. And it was a beautiful thing. Seeing Norm fully within himself for someone he truly cares about was a privilege.
Conan is weak man. He let Jay steamroll over him Dont blame Jay
@@gregwatson8219 Sure, Jan
Beautiful show of respect and honest gratitude. Suck it, Leno.
Don't you mean fallon
Luis Lopez its not Fallon's fault Fallon did nothing wrong. I much prefer Conan to Fallon but Fallon just did what was best for him and his family. You cant blame the guy for that.
Luis Lopez Nope, Leno is the one who did both David Letterman and Conan O'Brien wrong. Jimmy Fallon is a friend of Conan's.
Leno's a sucker
I remember when Conan started, he was bad. Now I know who gave him that motivation that he needed to became in my opinion the most consistent tv host ever.
Conan must be one of the best human beings walking the earth right now. I've never loved a man I don't know, and you earned that honor, Conan. This may sound silly but I don't care, you restore my trust in humanity.
omg
hopefully you were drunk when you wrote that.
or high hehehehehe
JustAPerson amen brother
I kno exactly what U mean n I feel the exact same way
Conan is a funny goofball but can be such an eloquent and heartfelt speaker when need be!
Writers are usually like that
Yup
I think his usually being a nonstop goofball amplifies the impact he has when he's being serious.
"I was fourth" is such a conan kind of comedy, quick witted and funny
Dave has supported Conan so many times, and has been clear on his feelings on how Conan was treated by Leno.
It always makes me laugh when I hear all Conans detracters telling me Conan's comedy is stupid, not classy, illogical, ridiculous, and immature(all those may be true, in a way...) because there is not a classier, more genuine, elegant speaker in talk show history. Whenever its time to be serious, Conan always hits it right on the head.
Well said. And, no other late night host can match his intellectual prowess and elegant manner of speech.
cw Letterman can. Listen to him speaking. Dave´s humor is rather intellectual.
Friedrich Schmidt Dave's comedy was certainly intelligent, but he has his own comedy style/voice. I just appreciate the way Conan's great intellect informs his comedy as well as his tv persona.
***** "It takes a clever man to play the fool"
shak99 A lot of people find me annoying, but it does take intelligence to know how to press people's buttons.
Conan was wrong at the end. HE is at the level of talent and comedic integrity he says of David Letterman. In fact, based on his interaction with fans and how well treats them, I would say Conan has surpassed him.
JABY!!!!!!!
Waaaa jaby bro wassup this is 5 years old and you are a legend now
@@juggernaut4799 Who is Jaby Koay?
Wow, so this was when jaby was at the position conan was in that old clip. Love your work Jabsss
@@TheH3dgie UA-cam.com/jabykoay
Conan's story here is not only a heart warming tribute to Dave but I think it also has a very strong message of if you are a misfit, you feel like you don't belong and there's only a 1 way dead end ahead of you to not give up. He said it himself after 4 really dreary months and the network made it clear he won't be on tv much longer an unlikely event shaped things in a positive way literally overnight.I guess some of us are waiting for that miracle in out lives to come, it may never come at all or we may not recognize the chance when it calls but look at Conan, with the odds stacked 100 million to 1 against him he with the selfless help of Dave achieved legendary success. Dave and Conan will forever be remembered as comedy legends.
That was really heartfelt. I'm gonna miss Dave. The guy just has a sense of humor that I love. And he always knew what questions to ask his guests or what to talk about. And if he didn't like a certain guest, it was hilarious to watch him make fun of those guests without the guests even knowing. He's the man!
Joshua Stein i thought hes gonna tear up, and i think he might have come close once or twice, but that was kept well together...
what a fool... he could have gone viral with some awesome tears xD
Joshua Stein Totally true Joshua!
Joshua Stein I think Dave was one of the best interviewers on TV, right up there with Oprah and Larry King. When Presidential candidates came on, they got hard questions!!
Respect to Dave. Conan has always been my favorite talk show host. Without Conan I can genuinely say I wouldn't be the person I am today. I guess a lot of that credit belongs with Dave as well. Congratz on such a great run, enjoy retirement!
The credit belongs to Conan, he worked hard for what he has, but Dave was amazing for helping him along when he really needed it.
Passing the torch
Carson
Lettermen
Conan
Such good entertainment
Always remembered with joy
Yep, and no Leno.
If Conan tells me to watch letterman, I watch letterman. If he tells me to love letterman, I love letterman. If he tells me to jump off a bridge, then man this was one good life for me.
I love you, Conan. Beautiful video.
Lmao
+김민기 Interesting...
i would do the initial too no question asked, but if I'm doing the third one, I'm taking him with me >:D
THIS HAS BEEN MY MOOD THESE LAST COUPLE MONTHS. i completely fell in love with Conan and truly would kill for him
it feels good to think we will have Conan for at least more 20 years
conans only 14 years younger than david letterman
Alexander Dimitrov 16 years if you wanna be exact...
WorstCaseOntario His ratings are amazing. Tbs said that they will keep him for as long as he keeps going.
Marjory Pimentel He's 52 now!
His contract is renewed and lasts until 2022 as of right now. TBS has mentioned that they don't care that much about ratings so I think Conan will still be here for a long time
My absolute favorite tribute to Letterman thus far, and I never even had one iota of emotional investment in his shows. Just never watched them, is all.
***** whats next on your liberal agenda
KK Akuoku Dude, no one cares. You're overestimating your importance.
Yesiamblind Well, considering this is a public forum where people are free to express their opinions and views, I don't think it's a matter of personal importance at this point. He left a comment on fucking UA-cam.
Kimmel tribute was much better
Try his old shows on youtube
I bet Conan cant wait to do a thank you video to Leno.
leno is in retirement. he's gone already
+Anthony Syracuse I believe that's not what he meant.
+ultragarrison HAHA
I'm genuinely interested in this.
Is he? You may never know :D
just a class act all the way around, Id love to meet Conan
Me too!
I'm so happy to see all of these people bidding farewell to my favorite talk show host.
Andrew B. same
Letterman made NBCs Late Night spot. Conan started there, Fallon started there, Meyers started there. Kimmel wanted to become a host because of Letterman. 'Nuff said: Letterman is a legend.
And cbs doesnt have anything late night beyond 11. And david started that as well
Conan has now become the Dave Letterman of his generation.
No one now or in the coming future would match his comedic timing and geniouses.
Long live conan
The great thing about Conan is he's not only hilarious on the show, he can make you laugh live on the scene, AND as huge and popular as he is as the people's host, he's humble as hell. He has gone out of his way to give it back and pay homage to those that helped him. Not just Dave, it's the reason him and Louis CK (a former writer) work well today
who the hell couldve possibly clicked dislike on this video?
Pints of Guinness Leno
The stoners did it.
DODEJMurphy I meant to hit like maaannn
Pints of Guinness the people who wanted to exercise their freedom/free will maybe? idk
You're fooling no one with that Z in your name there.
I wouldn't have expected anything less from Conan.
"We will not see a man of his talents and comedic integrity again in our lifetime".
Funny enough, 4 years later I'm convinced that a weird tall pale ginger dude might just be that.
Wow
It reminds me of an interview with Mark Hamill, who has become the most famous voice of the Joker in cartoons and games since his introduction in the 1992 Batman cartoon. He said he didn't want the role because it was such high profile character that had been famously done before and everyone has their own idea of how the Joker should sound. And the interviewer says "but now that idea is you."
@@Charlezard. if that was real, that would be a mind-blown for him. People always afraid of not accepted as the next "torch-bearer", and they always forgot that they became "the original" after sometimes.
"We love you Conan"
We really do.
Letterman & Conan are the true *Kings* of Late Night
Anyone else are simply *pawns*
Kimmel and Ferguson are good, but yeah Conan and Letterman are the greats. I absolutely hate and despise Leno and Fallon!
Carson
Kimmel is also great
Jay Leno was a Filthy Pig... 🐖
Johnny Carson too
Conan, you're pure class.
conans humility is an inspiration
Class. Pure class.
Super classy and grateful
Conan, Dave is the MAN but you're my favorite out there. Thank you for all the years of laughs.
Conan has often talked about how being kind and working hard gets you very far. The fact that he got a show he didn't even feel qualified for, and that Letterman personally wanted to go on Conan's show to improve ratings, proves for me that he through his kindness and integrity really left an impression on people. The world needs kindness. The world needs people like Conan.
Makes me sad that no other host did this when Conan ended his show today 😭😭😭😭😭
You're right man, many celebrities gave their respect so that pretty good i guess
Well Kimmel and Colbert kinda gave a shout-out. It's bit of a bummer that the newer guys like Fallon, Meyers, and Corden didn't.
Late Night as a format is dying, I guess. It's no longer an honored long-running tradition. Nowadays, it's just another tv shows for hollywood's publicity.
Well, Letterman was retiring. Conan isn't.
@@heatherperleberg7816 Even though O'Brian will have a new show on HBO Max, it won't be a late night show. Both men are retired from late night. Just like how Letterman retired from Late Night and has his Netflix talk show afterward.
I really hope Conan realizes Letterman's impact on his generation is the same impact he has on my generation. It's going to be a sad day when Conan O' Brian leaves television as well.
CONAN is a Comedic GENIUS!!!!
Based on the video, Andy is immortal.
Connan also owns a big thank you to me .while in his first shows on tv we went 50 50 on a pizza but he didn't have his 6 dollars and and 30 cents for it . Out of the kindness of my heart I said coco I got this one and I couldn't look me straight in the eyes he was hungry . Connan God bless you and maybe one day we meet again
you are the unspoken hero
Only hosts I like are Conan and Ferguson
GrayWoIf
same here
I had heart attack when he Craig retired
Conan+ Colbert+ Jon stewart
GrayWoIf Yes... Because we care about your opinion....
It was a tragidy what happened in feguson. Dont joke like that graywolf or else one day you might get shot in the ass by a cop
Damn.......the people love Dave.
Retired, but never replaced.......bless you Dave. Thanks for everything.
Coco is such a classy man.
This was honestly such a genuiune, sweet, heartfelt tribute. Love Conan and Letterman!
Conan is such a class act.
Awww "We love you Conan!!" Yes we do!!!
Conan is the only successor of Dave. The way he attracts his audience and his incredible likability
conan is a legend
Conan you have always, ALWAYS been my favorite. You still are. But I never REALLY knew what an impact Letterman had on the industry and late night in general. I would always hear 'he's a legend', 'he's a genius', but I never really truly appreciated him, to be honest. But now knowing what you've said, I have to sincerely thank him for doing what he's done. For not only helping my favorite late night talk show host out at one of his lowest points, so that he'd even exist, but for all of the other things I just don't know about that he's done, that are good.
Thank you David Letterman, for giving us our Coco. You're a good man and may you continue to be blessed.
Conan, classy and graceful... thanks Dave !
I come back to this clip once in a while.. Letterman and Conan both has such class, talent and comedic integrity its unheard of.
As an English kid I can’t stand American late night talk shows, however I love Conan and Letterman. David was a classy and interesting host and Conan is a comedic genius, his comedy is universally funny no matter what country you’re from.
Simple acts of kindness go a long way. Class act!
This hits hard now, as conan has just left late night programming, the last good host has now left... 😢
Kimmel was good for a while but he’s let his political opinions take complete control
As a tribute to Conans show ending today I'm on a spree of youtube videos and in my journey ive reached here
classy, respectful and honest. you're a good man, Conan.
Wow!! I missed this in real time when it happened. What a remarkable and humble tribute. People seem to speak highly of Letterman. How wonderful that he gave so much to the next generation.
CLASSY TRIBUTE. So well said, so personal, so sincere. Well done.
What I absolutely love about Conan is the fact, YES FACT, of how sincere and genuine he is OUTSIDE of the business and television. He truly is a remarkable man and it's very apparent in his behavior and especially his following. There are very few people in the world who can possess and even continue being like this! God Bless and wish you another 20 years Team Coco!
I can only imagine Dave came on Conan because he believed how talented Conan is.
A true man. I have been watching him for 16 years. He never fails to disappoint in any aspect.
Nearly six years later (I revisit this video often) and one thing I find more striking now than when I first watched it:
For Conan, it was exceptionally meaningful to hear David Letterman telling him that his comedy was "very high-level, and the volume and the quality of the stuff just (knocked him) out." It was meaningful because Letterman had earned the gravitas to where such compliments mattered. By the time, Letterman was signing off, it was Conan saying that “we will not see a man of (Dave's) talents and comedic integrity again in our lifetime" and *Conan* that had earned the gravitas for *that* compliment to hold significant meaning.
Conan has always been a class act, I also think he is one of the funniest people in the business.
The Letterman/O'Brien connection has to be one of the coolest things about the whole late night disaster... two classy guys who both had a huge impact on GenX because they both had our ironic sensibilities
I dont want the day when Conan retires..i think i might cry years of tears..
Great speech Conan. Always a class act.
Wow Conan. You're such a great guy! Tears are streaming down my face... I just love when people honor eachother!
That is a touching tribute. I've just watched this for the first time (five years later). Letterman is still alive and well, thank goodness. Conan is always eloquent. I would love to see Conan have an online storytelling channel to include fiction and non-fiction...and Comedy. In addition to more cowbell, more Conan is needed.
This is why conan deserves every second of his show.
Heart-felt words from Conan, paying tribute to a legend in television; we'll miss you Dave, and thank you.
This was very touching, they are both very kind and humble people. Thanks!
What a sweet, simple message. I'm a sucker for things like this when they're genuine.
Conan is the most genuine person out there.
I was only 15 at the time, but I remember the buzz around Dave coming on Conan's show that night. I never knew Conan was on the verge of being cancelled before that night. Such a great thing for Dave to do, and such a nice story for Conan to share on this night.
Conan knows RESPECT, to people who had profound influence in his life...🙏🙏🙏👍👍👍😎😎😎and who helped him in his trying times
He also gave a touching tribute to Garry Shandling.
The happiest night of Conan’s professional life is also the day I was born! Lol
Women always find a way to make it about themselves...

You are learning from one of the best
Conan is 100% right, what a tremendous story. You never know when a kind deed will alter someone's whole world. The moral is to keep doing kind things, simply makes the world a better place.
Honestly, gratitude is the noblest of all virtues!!
Luiz Vieira
You’re right
Conan should go down in history as the greatest in late night- I think he's severely underestimated but in the future more people will hold him up to par with Carson. Love this man 😪
I completely agree :) I've loved watching Conan since Late Night in the 90's. It has been a pleasure to watch his growth and confidence since his first show. What made me admire him even more is watching his interview at the Noble Peace Prize press conference along side Sting, one of my Idols. It's on UA-cam. Their thoughts about the peace process resonated with me. Both great men. I love your name by the way :)
I totally admire Conan's personality! He knew where he came from, and he knows how to be grateful 👏👏👏 #teamcoco
Heroes cherishing each other. That's what happens back to that time. You don't see that often nowadays.
I AM IN TEars, i did watch this opening, so classy, so touching. from the heat. i miss dave to my bones, watched all of his 31 yeards, i am glad he helped conan. love to them both.
Conan is everything.
I dont know why but i find this a little emotinal
That was really genuine!! Way to go Conan!! Most people forget who helped them get to where they are!!
I just got goosebumps. I don't know much about Dave or have seen his shows as I an quite young. But you could tell that it came from the bottom of his heart.
And this is why we love Conan.
I hope others do this for him now that his last final episode on TBS is tomorrow. He's one who deserves such respect. You were the best of your generation Conan... And the same goes to every1 on team CoCo...
Conan and Letterman are utter class.
I love the silence from the crowd when they work out what he is proposing. Such a great sport.
Such beautiful and kind words from such a nice guy! Gotta love Conan.
