Title: Conan O'Brien
Post by: _33 on June 26, 2021, 09:40:02 PM: His last show as a talk show host was this week. In the mid 90's I could start staying up late enough (at least on Fridays) to watch Late Night. Some of my hardest laughter ever was watching Conan.

What was your favorite Conan bit? I have a lot but the Walker Texas Ranger Lever was always hilarious. SHARE YOUR OWN IF YOU WANT.

Here are a few of my favorites.

He was good before he botched the takeover for Leno & got pushed to TBS, where everyone forgot about him.

Post by: Kat Kid on June 26, 2021, 10:11:53 PM: But Conan was always great when the show wasn’t going well or when he had a guest he liked. The norm McDonald but where they roast carrot top’s movie with the actress from melrose place who was co starring in it was so funny.

Yes. Those are all fantastic. The espresso machine, catching him coming in late, and all of them where they are it Italy are my favorites.

Post by: _33 on June 26, 2021, 10:19:19 PM: More recently I LOVED the Clueless Gamer bits with Aaron Bleyaert. Those were gold. They weren't quite as funny when they started bringing celebrities on to participate.

I like John Stewart (not so much Colbert), and I even really like John Oliver. But I can only take so much political humor. There was always something unique about Conan's late night shows because they never focused on political humor.

Post by: WillieWatanabe on June 27, 2021, 07:18:53 PM: Was interesting to read actors/musicians/former guests comment how great he was off the camera, down to earth, and really funny. Most of them mentioned that not every late night host is like that. I WANT THEM TO NAME NAMES. assuming Leno.
