I remember when Conan paid out of his own pocket for his crew for like months. Mad respect for Conan the last G of late night

The idea that Corden couldn’t name 2 of his camera people is insane.

Conan will always be #1 in my book. I even have a cat named Conan. It was a placeholder name as a kitten(we didnt plan on keeping her) due to the huge orange spot she has(and still does) on her head.

Conan seriously needs to see all the love and support for him in this comment section. I know he hates reading reviews and stuff but this is so sweet

I like to pretend eddy is standing in my room staring at me silently at night before i sleep, thats kind of like my own late night tv if you think about it. Thanks eddy :)

Conan is an absolute legend. When the writers strike of 2007 happened he kept spinning his wedding ring just to fill airtime and he managed to keep his show entertaining. Even more so is the fact that he paid the salaries of nearly 80 staff members whose jobs were idled because of the strike out of his own pocket.

Seth Meyers does a YT only thing called Corrections, which requires watching his show on TY and commenting on what he got wrong, then he goes over all the mistakes with just his crew as the audience. It is brilliant.

"I think we were all too hard on Jimmy Fallon" is kinda wild in retrospect considering the whistleblower articles that came out not long after this video.

Conan saw it coming years ago, so he tried to adjust to the YouTube format until the quarantine happened and he saw the perfect opportunity to start fresh. A comedic genius and a once-in-a-lifetime entertainment master, but makes you wonder what that brain could have done if he was in another industry altogether.

Eddy's bit about the crosswalk is a sad reminder that morbius and rainforest cafe have completely ruined the pleasure response mechanism in his brain 😢. Get well soon Eddy ❤️

Craig Ferguson was the greatest talk show host of all time. Period. His "ehh, f*ck it, I have nothing better to do" style was PERFECT for the genre, and when the guest "got it" it was some of the funniest late nite TV ever filmed. Conan is a close 2nd.

You can take the "Late Night" out of that headline. Viewership of Broadcast TV is in the toilet compared to 20 years ago.

I attended a taping of James Cordon’s show in 2018. I was visiting friends in LA and it was free. I’d never been to a show taping before, but I found it odd that between takes and off camera, he didn’t speak to a single person. He was glued to his phone the entire time and didn’t make eye contact with a single staffer, even the ones walking up to him to touch up his hair or give him something. The whole energy was “I don’t wanna be here” and then boom the charm came back on as soon as they started recording again

The fact Corden exploited Alice Coopers actual phobia for entertainment is actually horrific. Thats like a torture method.

Conan’s show really comforted me in high school in an abusive household. I appreciate the laughs 🧡🧡🧡🧡

I'm a proud jackal—what Seth Meyers has done to embrace his YouTube audience really sets him apart. It's to the point where his Corrections segment is starting to bleed into other parts of his show. Getting to see the genuine Seth—without his writers, with complete freedom to do whatever he wants—is... It's so refreshing. He also challenges the nature of parasociality by extending genuine love and appreciation to us. I dunno, it just feels really good. He doesn't feel like a late night host, he feels like a friend who just happens to do late night TV.

Okay, but MAJOR respect to Pauly Perrette trying to take those balloons from James when he was being an ass to Alice Cooper

It is honestly shocking to me that Leno had any fans left AT ALL after what he did to Conan. I'm so glad that Conan gained such a following and had such a successful show, he's genuinely the only late night host that I find enjoyable.

Conan had always been my favorite for all that eddy said, he’s a frequent at my restaurant and he’s always so nice and genuine. Even to people who come up and recognize him he’s never been rude but again they are still people who need privacy regardless he handles it very well.
