    Conan is tall, I gave him a hug decades ago in 1999 before the show when I was in the audience. This was when they brought the late night show to LA briefly...I didn't realize how tall he is... Conan also wrote me a hand written signed letter when I was a kid on public access t.v. Awesome seeing him make all this material over the years. He's a stand up guy and really appreciates his fans!

    But I came here to comment on something said on it by the Cocos about something unrelated to the guest and it was about the numbers of podcast listeners vs viewers here on youtube, specifically that more listen to the podcast than watch the snippets on youtube (and wherever else they upload them). I for one listen to the podcast because I want the whole thing and not just snippets. If they were to upload the whole video, I'd be watching that. 😉

    And not unwomanlike."
