I've been watching Conan since the 90's, always been a fan.
I like him even more in his podcast era. His humor makes me forget about the world and just laugh.
But then he just went on Hot Ones and proved he's the best again, committed to comedy. We're watching a legend and icon here.

Him and Craig Ferguson, any other late night show host in the last 30 years have been mid or below.

 

[Sybrix]

Conan is the best.

Why Kimmel and the other one, Fallon are so popular is beyond me.

This man gets it. Craig Ferguson was absolutely incredible, and such a great interviewer. I also loved the older Conan show before he was on the Tonight Show. I kinda fell off on him after he took over for Jay.

 

[jason10mm]

Thought this was gonna be about Arnie.

"Ahhhhh, Ahhhhh, get to dah hot sauce!"

 

[The Cockatrice]

He really is the best. The only host that ever made me laugh to tears. Would love to meet him one day. Going to watch his show on Max more so because Jordan is with him.

 

[Mossybrew]

Sean, for once, was not prepared for what was about to unfold. Conan simply destroyed the whole show, how can it even continue after this?

Seriously that was the funniest thing I've seen in a long time.

 

[Sybrix]

 

[Trunx81]

This is amazing. Thanks for sharing, OP. Haven't laughed so hard in ages

 

[Dacvak]

Lowest common denominator.

Honestly, it's not even close.

The fact that both of these guys are no longer in the late night game is kind of insane when you consider the alternatives.

 

[March Climber]

As expected, Da Bomb continues to stop everyone in their tracks.

He did a good job attempting to tank it. Only a few on this show have managed to do so.

 

[Hrk69]

I never see sauce on their wings or am I blind?

 

[Men_in_Boxes]

Conan couldn't hold a candle to Craig Kilborn. Too bad America can't recognize greatness in late night.

 

[Robot Carnival]

my mouth hurts just watching those last 5 minutes or so

 

[ThatStupidLion]

you can teach a semesters worth of comedy classes from this interview alone

 

[NecrosaroIII]

Great episode of Hot Ones. The ramp up towards the end was incredible

 

[MrMephistoX]

Conan has always been my favorite even when Letterman was on the air fuck Leno and everyone else currently on the air except maybe Colbert but only because he still has my goodwill from his Comedy Central days.

I loved Colbert report, but he seems like such an unfunny boring hack on the The Late Show, it just doesn't land with me and some pretentiousness shows through

It's weird because I really did love him before on Report, I just get nothing from the new show though

 

[Pejo]

The episode of Hot Ones was ok. Still didn't supplant my favorite one (Jennifer Lawrence).

I like the inside view of talk show hosting and the kind of 'from the mind of' one of the greatest talk show hosts of all time, but the lunatic drinking sauce/smearing it bit was a bit much for me. Highlight was the doctor bit. He seems like a great guy in person when he's not playing a part.

 

[eddie4]

Best hot ones episode, and a great close to the season. Worst episode ever, DJ Khalid.

 

[Grildon Tundy]

That was worth watching. Conan's the GOAT.

 

[Zathalus]

Conan is indeed the best. How the two Jimmy's keep going is beyond me.

 

[Fart Knight]

That Sean is such a cornball

 

[jufonuk]

I must stick up for my boy Graham Norton. That said what I have seen of American talk TV Conan is good. So was Craig Ferguson and Stephen Colbert.

 

[kruis]

The only time I enjoy Colbert is when he has Lord of the Rings cast members on his show. But almost everything else is boring. And then there's the relentless one sided bashing of one political party while the other party gets a free pass. That's something that has made so many US late night talk shows unwatchable.

 

[Valedix]

Holy shit Dude is a chad, drank hot sauce and that doctor was hilarious.

 

[ForAcademicPurposes]

He looks like male version of Kevin's mom.

 

[Trilobit]

Seeing close to hot pepper-manic Conan pulling was something I wasn't prepared for. Guy has comedy in his bonemarrow.

People comparing him to Ferguson are doing both of them a disservice. They are both vastly entertaining, but in their own niches and ways. Conan shines the brightest when he does improv in new settings or with his crew. Ferguson is the best host I've seen and his charisma when talking to guests and the audience was through the roof.

 

[Mihos]

A little over the top for me. I like his clueless gamer bits better.

 

[jufonuk]

Fucking hell, started saying he wouldn’t be able to do it. Destroyed everything hahahahha respect

 

[EviLore]

He drank it. What a legend.

 

[MayauMiao]

Indeed. Conan knows best.

 

[John Marston]

He drank it. What a legend.

Did he coat the inside of his mouth with wax like Homer Simpson?
That would have killed me

He smeared so much of it all over his face that it wouldn't have made much of a difference. Pure willpower I think!

Yeah you can clearly see his body having some sort of reaction but he was tanking it like a master

I find all the American talk show hosts incredibly unfunny. There is no intelligence to their jokes, and no knowledge required to appreciate them.

 

[newtypepilot]

goat episode. This is dedication to comedy.

Conan praising Sean as a great interviewer is actually huge compliment.

I personally never thought Conan was suitable as a late night talk show host. He's way funnier on remotes or podcasts where he's not bound by rigid structures.

Nah, his late night talk show was awesome but it seemed he was asked to tone it down to become more mainstream for the Tonight Show, it didn't suit him.

 

[Sp3eD]

One of the funniest things I’ve seen in a long time. As said above, da bomb is the absolute wrecker. I still have a bottle of it in my fridge from years ago trying to mimic this show to see if I could and that shit made my mouth burn for like 30 minutes with a tip of a spoonful. Vile stuff.

 

[Tieno]

I felt like he was channeling a combination of Homer Simpson and Jim Carrey (dumb & dumber), fueled by pain. Love it.

Is the podcast good?

 

[Wildebeest]

I guess the public has already voted and decided that James Corden is more entertaining. Makes you think.

 

[EviLore]

Watched a few more I hadn’t seen last night.

Lorde was completely unfazed by millions of scovilles (genetic defect…?) but wasn’t a very interesting guest.

Jennifer Lawrence had a very cute reaction from the bomb onward but she clearly set the interview terms to be professional questions only, and Sean was very stilted as a result. Or maybe he had nerves because Jennifer Lawrence.

Shia LeBouf dabbed like half the bottle on each wing and demonstrated extreme fortitude while chowing down. Also seemed like a guy who had been through a lot and was trying to do better. With some great moments throughout. He has that combination of sensitivity and bravado that can get self-destructive easily.

Louis Theroux, thoughtful and insightful as you’d expect from the master of gonzo documentaries.

 

[jonnyp]

Is the podcast good?

Obviously varies by guest but Conan's as funny as he's ever been

 

[darrylgorn]

Watched this with my kids and we were simultaneously mortified and tearing up with laughter.

 

[22:22:22]

Yeah he's my favorite.

Loved the show's with Jordan Shlansky (sp?)

 

[sankt-Antonio]

As a European who watched all of them late night hosts on YouTube only I would give it to Johnny Carlson, everyone else is a insufferable cunt one way or the other (Graig Ferguson was the only exception).

Hated Conan on hot ones, that was not funny to me.
