Anyone else see Conan O'Brien's Hot Ones episode? It's a riot. Conan doesn't know how to not be entertaining.
Hot Ones: Conan O'Brien
- Thread starter Mr Janny
- Start date
I miss Conan, Leno, and Craig Ferguson.
Unfortunately the goal isn’t to be entertaining or humorous any more.
Then you've got me.
I just never found Leno all that great.
And his music guests sucked.
Conan Needs a Friend has had some really great stuff though.
Conan and Carson were my favorites. Leno and Ferguson were good too.
**** Jay Leno.
And Late Night with Conan will forever be the goat

I watched this last night and about died laughing. Conan certainly commits to every bit he does, and this is no exception. It was glorious.
Or maybe its just not for you.
The idea that any of them aren't trying to be entertaining\humorous is wild.
I nearly started a thread on this. I watched it Friday. He is the king. That doctor bit and without context just shoving them in his pockets?? Amazing.
I used to love SNL if that makes you feel any better. Obviously you’ll just ‘dumb’ this. And that’s fine.
SNL is still solid.
People just always remember the gold from their younger years and forget that its pretty much always been a great sketch or two, a couple good ones, a couple meh ones and a couple duds every night. Everything but the great ones gets lost to history and people remember those forever.

To me, the best part is the end, where he's clearly in pain, face a mess, basically shouting, and he's still giving some really insightful thoughts on comedy and where to find humor. It's kind of incredible.
Also when he said "I'm erect for the first time in 15 years. CALL THE WIFE!"
Conan has been funny for decades, so this episode was fun for me since I dont see him in anything anymore. I wish he was in Fallon’s spot. Fallon is painfully unfunny to me outside of his games.

Go watch the first episode of Murderville on Netflix. Conan is the guest star. It's really funny
I'm glad other people enjoyed this episode as much as I did....I laughed out loud.....committing to the bit is a lost art....thank you for posting this.
Conan and Ferguson were the natural successors to Leno and Letterman. A combination of those two hanging on a little too long and the networks executives really ruined it for everyone.
Couldn't agree more. Wish he had been in every episode. That format is a perfect showcase for his style of spontaneous humor.
I've watched many episodes of this show and that's probably the best. From the putting in pockets to literally drinking the sauces out of the bottle was wild.
And while he showed it at the end of being in pain I didn't see a struggle in his face throughout most of it.
And many I've watched do this struggle to focus / answer the question midway through he was giving insightful answers without any struggle.
After the Da Bomb one where he finally says something like finally feeling something had me laughing. If I did these I'd probably be one of the few that doesn't finish all the wings. I have no spicy palate whatsoever.

I truly think Conan was the most comedically talented late night host. One of the quickest on his feet with improv.
