America, being a country of mostly idiots, loves people who go by Doctor _____.

The Doctor makes them seem authoritative, and the them going by their first name makes them seem like regular folk.

I forgot about him

Both probably have completely opposing political views compared to Oprah

Only watched the clips of Conan on Fallon on YouTube. I guess they cut out the parts where he ripped into Leno. But he did make at least three different references to Batman.

Wow, Conan fucking brings it to Hot Ones!
Probably the funniest, craziest episode yet.

That was definitely a top 3 Hot Ones of all time. Conan was not only an interesting guest, but his over commitment to the wings was hilarious and frankly, deserves alot of respect. I bet he was hiding alot of pain

I miss this Conan. Very much reminiscent of his Late Night days. Fun to watch this.

Re: Conan O'Brien - Shows, Projects, and News

I thought there was a video posted in the past couple days about how Conan developed as a host and interviewer over the years. I can't remember what it was titled, but I enjoyed watching it.

I watched in on Directv but no mention of Leon which I suppose would never happen and would be awkward to tali about on a NBC broadcast.

I think Conan hosting the Tonight Show and Fallon hosting the late show was the perfect combo but did not last long.

He was a talk show guest. He reminisced about being back at 30 Rock. Although when he was talking about Max Weinberg, I wondered how much of Fallon's audience knows who that is. He likes to be self-deprecating, so he told that airport selfie story that he has told on his podcast. He told that story about Prince that I have heard before, so that Jimmy could tell his story about Prince that I have heard before. And he promoted his new show on Max. He wasn't there to bitch about how NBC treated him, even though that would have been much more interesting TV.

Sad and touching : Conan's nonagenarian parents both passed away this week.

I guess when you are together that long, one can no longer live without the other.

It can also be the stress of dealing with the death. Carrie Fisher's mom Debbie Reynolds died of a stroke the day after Carrie died.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carrie_Fisher#Death
On January 5, 2017, a joint private memorial was held for Fisher and Reynolds. Fisher was cremated while her mother was entombed. A portion of her ashes was placed beside Reynolds in a crypt at Forest Lawn Memorial Park in Hollywood Hills.[157] The remainder of those ashes are held in a giant novelty Prozac pill

That's love. I'd expect my wife of 66 years to be happy when I croak.

As I understand, both of his parents were accomplished in their fields (his mom was one of the original female lawyers, his dad was a scientist). I've gotten bits over the years from his podcast.

With the best for Conan. His podcast has been top notch. Way better than the little 8 minute interviews we'd get from late night tv.

Conan's longtime assistant, Sona, lived in Altadena and lost her home in the fire. Lots of people knew where she lived because Conan always ragged on Altadena and they even did some podcasts from her backyard. Conan's Pacific Palisades home survived but obviously he knows a ton of people who lost their homes.

In any case, here's the first podcast they did after the fires:

I'll listen to that eventually, but it will be very sad. Sona and Conan's chemistry is great entertainment.
