Can't say I'm all that suprised.

Conan O'Brien retiring from Late Night
- Thread starter JP4CY

End of an era. Late Night with Conan O-Brien was the best talk show of all time. Crazy to think he started as a writer on the Simpsons and a lot of the people he had work on that show.
That kinda sucks. His “Conan O’Brien Needs a Friend” Podcast is quite entertaining if you haven’t listened to it. I am hoping he keeps that thing going. He does a really good job with it and gets super solid guests.
Conan Travels was always amazing. He is fantastic when he can improv on his own. Naturally just a funny guy.
My uncle wrote for conan's show back in the late 80s or maybe early 90s... He says conan is as funny naturally as what you see on t.v. and incredibly smart.
Conan is the best. I've really enjoyed his podcast and I think he's enjoyed being able to talk in more depth to some of these celebrities. I think he's at his absolute best on that podcast where he can freelance and get into real conversations with people, as opposed to 3-5 minute conversations. Whenever I listen to his podcast I'm amazed by how quick and witty he is.
It's amazing to me how almost every young comedian he's had on his show have said how big of effect his late night show had on their comedy careers. Leno wasn't funny and Letterman had his moments. But it was all very stuffy. Conan's show was so different and so clever and his humor just seemed to resonate with members of my generation.

Letterman's netflix show is really good imo.
I like Letterman but he has a bit of pretentiousness that bugs me. It's ironic that the most "everyman" of the bunch is the guy with a degree from Harvard.
Conan was the best..........................for me to poop on!
Guessing this is a generational feeling...but Letterman absolutely ROCKED! The Late Night show on NBC was "must see" tv! Way ahead of its time! Letterman's CBS show was great too but due to the time slot it wasn't going to be exactly the same as Letterman's NBC show. Fortunately for all of us...NBC hit a grand slam when they took a chance and hired Conan as Letterman's replacement because it was the best of both worlds! Watch Dave at 10:30 and then Conan at 11:30!
This is a good summary of the pod. I find myself laughing even when he does the ad reads which seem fairly apparent that he doesn’t prep for.
I like his interviews, but the best part of every episode is the 5 or so minutes of him just freelancing with his assistant and the engineer.
The one he did with Zach Galifianakis is pure comedy gold. Laughed for an hour straight.
Robert smigel is one of my uncle's best friends and is kind of an ******* haha.
His Conan Without Borders specials over the past few years are about a million times better than anything else late night talk shows have ever produced.
His Korea special alone is more funny than the a few decades of other shows combined. The Isreal one is some really powerful stuff that's more effective than most journalistic efforts and showing what life is like.
He's not the greatest interviewer, but he's the funniest talk show host ever. He's up there with Letterman for smartest host ever.
