Steven Irwin is a legend! He had a very amiable personality. He will never be forgotten.
I had the blessing to be able to call him my friend. He saved my other friends life, he would come to town and hang out after that event. Great man
And if you think him jumping into that pool was a bit I can assure i saw it happen just like that. He would always get the kids (me) reved up
@@Noone-jn3jp I can picture that. How did he save your other friends life? He was indeed gifted as well as brave. I remember reading about him during my childhood on animal magazines and I thought that man was crazy to do all that he did but later realized that he was just THAT good.
@@roygboy77 search ‘’steve irwin saves diver’’ I found posting links gets comments deleted
He was all about education and would do anything required of him to further that goal.
Steve was a moron, not a legend. Legends in the field of the animal kingdom are people like David Attenborough. People who aren't so stupid as to treat dangerous animals with contempt. Steve certainly knew how to talk and he sure lived a life of delusion but reality didn't care what he thought or about his contemptuous attitude, because reality won out in the end
@@jamessmyth5949 I respect your believe but this is no way to talk. Keep your perspectives to yourself and don't force it upon me. I saw what i saw and I've seen many of Steve Irwin's documents. David Attenborough is great too but different style. Steve grew up in Australia and animals there are much more wild than in UK so their core believe are completely different. I assume you are an animal activist and a vegan.
now here's a guy who matched conan's insane energy perfectly (and perhaps even one-upped him at times). rip steve, you are missed
Is he dead?
@@GardenGuy1942Been dead almost 20 years now, 2006 I think.
Totally one-upped Conan on occasion! A rare feat ❤
Yeah not even scarface can get this hyper 😂
No one ups Conan’s energy on hot ones
Growing up in Australia, I absolutely idolised Steve as a kid. I wished to be him more than anyone in the world. I still remember when he died, and everyone at school was talking crazy about it. I was 8 years old then and I refused to believe it was actually true. I still watch his old documentaries for nostalgia, what a beautiful man he was.
I was 7 and when my dad told me i was so upset it was very hard
We love him in the states too. He was a good guy and he'd be so proud of his kids.
I was 12 and living in New Zealand, we visited Australia Zoo about a week later on a holiday and it was heartbreaking. Almost surreal that we were hoping to see him while we were there and ended up experiencing his memorial.
@@heccasay it's not a competition lol, I was a kid and I was sad about it..
@@heccasay just weird that you read my comment about being sad about Steve’s death and went “how can I make this about me”. I have never forgotten I’m not an Aussie lol wtf are you talking about?
One word describes Steve, Passion. When he talks about animals his words come tumbling out like he can't wait to share with the world. A unique individual
Remember when TV brought more joy than cynicism? God love these two. RIP Steve.
Yes
Youre being ridiculous. Plenty of shows bring joy.
@@HutchIsOnYT I was admittedly being hyperbolic, but also…I think you’ll find that (in America anyway) Fox News was one of the most watched networks for much of the last two decades, taking the #1 position overall in 2019. Even comedies and late night shows drifted towards a more sarcastic and judgmental tone with The Daily Show and its progenies. Looking at other media, we experienced several years where the most popular movies were disaster films and dark, gritty re-imaginings of comic book characters. In music, the glam rock and hair metal of the 1970s-1980s gave way to bleak Seattle grunge and nu-metal in the mid-90s through the late ‘00s.
I’m not saying there was a complete vacuum of more hopeful content, but there was absolutely a marked surge in less-than-optimistic programming that I think partially influences, and reflects, the collective psyche of society. The _Global Trends Report_ released in 2021 by the US National Intelligence Council stated:
“Public opinion polls repeatedly have shown increasing pessimism about the future in countries of all types around the world, but especially in advanced and middle-income economies. According to the 2020 Edelman Trust Barometer, the majority of respondents in 15 of 28 countries polled are pessimistic that they and their families will be better off in five years, an average increase of 5 percent from the previous year. Less than a quarter of those polled in France, Germany, and Japan, for example, believe they will be better off in 2025. In coming years, this pessimism is likely to spread in developing countries with large youthful populations but with slowing progress in eradicating poverty and meeting human development needs, particularly Sub-Saharan Africa.”
According to an archived 1989 Washington Post article ( _Cynical? Who’s Cynical?_ by Don Oldenburg) Americans confidence in political and business institutions dropped precipitously starting in the 1950s, to the extent that researchers studying the trends in the 1980’s reported to be “tormented by their conclusions,” with the article stating they believe that, “…the comely brand of cynicism that has been called ‘intellectual dandyism’ is shifting to a darker and more sinister level of mistrust that has been called ‘intellectual treason.’” It goes on to say:
{ Combing through their survey data, the two researchers uncovered so much evidence of misanthropy as to send them back to their statistics fully expecting to find a miscalculation. There was no mistake. Beyond statistics, they found flesh-and-blood verification: employees who don't trust their bosses, store clerks who have contempt for customers, voters too disillusioned to vote, college students out to get theirs however they can, entrepreneurs doing unto others before others do unto them, ordinary people who despise other ordinary people. To put it simply, in the United States, at the close of the 1980s, Machiavelli lives. Numbers are telling of the fall of confidence. A survey in the late '50s disclosed more than 80 percent of Americans trusted the government. By the mid-'70s, that figure had dropped to about 33 percent. Barely one in four dare admit today to being so gullible. Last November, during the presidential election, the American Association of Retired Persons felt cynicism among older voters had become so serious a problem that the national group spent $400,000 on advertisements to combat the epidemic. Similar signs show up in the business sector. Twenty years ago, public trust in business and its leaders tallied about 70 percent in polls. Hard to believe? Today, only 15 percent say they trust business. }
I won’t get into reasons, which are diverse and largely dependent on demographics, but I think I have sufficiently backed up my original admittedly flippant remark with enough substance to refute the notion that I am being “ridiculous”.
P.S.-I apologize for the essay, I studied Media Theory in college and, 15-years later as an IT consultant, I relish any opportunity to utilize an otherwise impractical education.
For a lot people Jerry Springer show gave so much joy despite of the fact that it was a disgusting trash.... Or which decade are you speaking about?
Why do you watch tv at all by the way? Read books instead... only classics of course... :)
@@HutchIsOnYTNot really, no. You can find shows for any mood or perspective under the sun, but the general consensus mood is bleak.
If someone told him he was going to die in 11 years, he still would've behaved in the exact same way
RIP to the GOAT
He was a goat?
@@VitZ9
Greatest
Of
All
Time
Conan is the GOAT late night host. Late night just hasnt been the same since he retired! Glad we have all these old clips for comfort 🙏🏽❤️
I really miss his entire presence on late night. His monologue was always great. The sketches and wierd characters were priceless. The interviews were gold, and the comedy, music, and animal acts were just as great. His band has more charisma than other talk show hosts.
Guys! Good news. His podcast is great. Very different but will definitely bring a lot of laughs in the same vein.
Team coco for sure
TBS kind of left him $$ high & dry , he continues to do a pod cast for the time being, , ,Im hoping he will do a talkshow for another network again soon only on a "Realistic personal Pay scale ", so he can retain his house band , , , , gosh people, when Conan no longer had a band didn't anyone realize his ship was starting to sink ?? TBS did Coco dirty , , ,I hope the Basic Cable Band and #2 ANDY are doing ok , , ,🤔
who replaced him?
He was right to be afraid of parrots.
Savage beasts they are!
Yes!
Rrrrr matey
One insulted my mother once
Mhmm
Should have been a bit more afraid of stingrays, maybe
The build-up right before the actual croc wrestling was so good and genuine, despite it being just a fake crocodile and there wasn’t actually any danger 😂 I still felt the excitement and the hype.
i love how steve goes for the handshake and conan hugs him instead🥲
Always a class act!
People today not knowing Irwin would think he was just a caricature and goofing around, but that crazy man was really like that. I loved it
He was really like that, but he turned it up a lot for the camera. Steve himself said that he exaggerated his persona to attract viewers and thus attention to wildlife conservation.
@@Brinta3/ Sure. We all do that to a degree. I met him once and he was like TV for most part
I cried from laughing so hard at them wrestling this croc 😂
Seeing the way he respected his father is quite beautiful because that’s the same way robert irwin respects him
As an Aussie I was literally just watching Conan interviews with Steve tonight for nostalgia and Conan’s first show on late night what good timing! 😂 two legends
Amazing how the son is becoming amazing like the father. What a family!!
@@JeanlucPicard-kk2jy what are you talking about? His son isn’t dead bro. He’s saying that Steves son Robert Irwin is becoming amazing just like his father. Idk what you’re talking about cause Robert isn’t dead bro.
So Beautiful to see Robert, Bindi and Terri continue Steve's legacy!!! ❤
He looks just like Robert here!
@@ShellyMelody So totally does.
This is why Conan is the best. What other late night host would do stuff like this? Funny as hell.
Dave might've done it when he was younger
There’s something so pure about Steve, the *legend* will never be forgotten.
Such a wonderful guy, amazing energy
I am still so sad that we lost Steve so early in life. He was a fine man and an incredible ambassador for Australia and the natural world.
I always got the sense that Steve Irwin was one of Conan's favorite guests. Really wish we got to seem him do a bit with Steve's children.
I remember this when it aired… it basically solidified Conan as the king of late night for me. RIP Mr Irwin
Steve was a one of a kind human being...truly universally loved by all for his personality and passion. He's been an inspiration to me ever since I was a little kid and it's thanks to him that I now own reptiles and have such an avid passion for wildlife and conservation. R.I.P. to a truly amazing soul and I am so happy the way his family has carried on his legacy and passion. I still wish I got to meet him before his passing. So much universal love for this man.
I miss Steve Irwin. I use to watch his show all the time. He was so likable. He was one of a kind.
I thought they were going to wrestle a live, actual crocodile. 😂
What a true Aussie legend. So in love with his work. That's something all of us could dream to aspire to.
One of the greatest humans to ever grace us.
Yes... Making Heaven brighter
His son reminds me so much of him. It is a breath of fresh air in this dark time.
Steve Irwin is such a legend. Good on ya, mate. You are missed.
RIP, Steve. One of a kind.
RIP Legend ❤
What an amazing soul Steve was. Major influence on how I view the natural world and animals. When he died, it was one of those moments I can remember where I was, and it hit me hard. What an absolute bloody legend, he took life 100%. You could tell Conan loved his attitude.
The build up for that ending was absolutely incredible!
I demand this Conan channel to publish every single Steve Irwin episode immediately!
Man, I miss Steve Irwin so much. What a gem of a human being. The best of the best.
I love how they matched each others energy. I also love how Conan lets his people talk
Wow, Robert looks just like him especially with this clip.
Yes ❤❤
90s kids out here will always remember the GOATs. Steve Irwin, Bill Nye, and Mr. Roger's
6:03 Quick recognition of Steve Irwin! He knows that the shake aint coming and he pulls back! Such a legend!
He had such a delightful personality. Legend.
Met Steve at his zoo multiple times he is genuine.
He would be so proud of his son and family and what they have contributed and continued to build on the Irwin legacy. Truly idols to humanity
Steve irwin and conan O'Brian....2 of my favorites together
His son looks so much like him and they both have the same energy.
Great to see this video.
Two wild ‘n’ crazy guys! That rubber ain’t gonna bother nobody no more. Thanks for your service.👍
I wish we could all see him watching his kids and now grand daughter today....
Such a positive upbeat and caring man, feel so sad that he is no longer here 😢
Steve Irwin. Such a bright soul, talked with so much personality. 💀when they started flipping around the kiddie pool lo...
1:48 Classic use of yeah/nah
More Aussie than saying mate
Conan is such a good sport and very funny. Those two would have had a lovely relationship.
Steve would be so proud of his family today.
Two legends respected in their own time... having a moment that is remembered to this day. Pure and fun entertainment. I loved this clip the night it aired and I love it now. Wow... time goes by so slowly yet so fast.
This was an amazing bit. I miss Steve. He was one of the best
I really miss this man, was in my first year of school when he died. Id watch him all the time from a very young age, I remember owning a VHS of the Wiggles and they go to Australia Zoo. Im very proud of his family for continuing his legacy.
Steve Irwin always kept you entertained or at the edge of your seat. He often talked about animal behavior while being 2ft away from a snake, crocodile and various animals.
There was no one like Steve Irwin, he was one of a kind and a genuinely good human being and cared as much about his fellow man as he did his fellow animals. RIP Always and forever
RIP Steve Irwin man….remember the good times watching his shows in the morning before school.
I consider myself lucky to have grown up watching Steve Irwin on TV. Such a passion for animals. He said once that he took all of the money he earned being famous and bought land so that others couldn't develop it. Im paraphrasing of course but he really did. All of his money went to buying land and caring for animals. You have to admire that.
Omg I am so happy to see this clip! This was my absolute favorite segment. ❤
Rest in love and joy Steve Wish he stayed a while longer 🐊🦕 him and Conan are the funniest together
Steve was such a beautiful soul.
Steve Irwin and Brian Austin Green seem like the strangest combination of guests. The 90's were the best.
😅
Robert is looking more and more like Steve everyday. Incredible he's keeping it up like his pops
Steve was truly a legend. I come from the same state as him, Queensland. He bought a whole heap of mangrove land next to my school. A massive piece of land, and then he just simply left it untouched in the name of conservation. He was well known for doing this especially in Australia.
I was looking for this! I remember when this aired (1995)! I just shared it with my neighbors. I don't think they have seen it. I hope they love it too!
It has been a long time since I seen this! I laughed so hard!🤣🤣🤣🤣
I love Steve Irwin. What a loss to the world that he is gone. Because of his personality, he was able to shine a light on endangered animals. I love him for that.❤
Wow this is a throw back to the 90's 💖💖💖
RIP Steven Irwin 🌹
“I was born at a young age” 😂
at age six i was born without a face
Thanks for the memories Steve. Rest easy.
This was so cute :). Steve Irwin is an angel now.
that croc got a taste of the strongest combo in the world, the irish and australian fury!
He was so nervous here. More comfortable wrestling on a croc than talking on tv.
One of my favorite humans all time, Steve is missed terribly
This captures a moment in time that likely won’t soon be replicated.
looking back at this vid, geez his son has become a spitting image of him so many similar mannerisms too. gorgeous family in general i think. a big loss to the world losing a figure like this for youth growing up in todays age. rip steve
Exactly what I was thinking watching this, kinda insane
5:36 haha the way Steve just goes for it.
Two legends.
I laughed so hard at the end 😂😂
Heroes get remembered, but Legends never die. There's a reason 18 years after his death he is still loved and remembered. And he will be until the end of time.
I think the whole world loves him
Steven Irwin was, is and will always be the Australian treasure! RIP and you will forever be missed!
Got dayum look at those beefcakes 6:02
I will love and miss Steve Irwin forever. GOD BLESS HIS FAMILY. IF HE COULD SEE THEM TODAY.... HOW PROUD
Aw poor steve i used to watched his shows but he is funny like conan they match enrgy n humor
Amazing chemistry
Him and Conan together were comedy gold! They come out with his head ripped off 🤣🤣🤣 RIP to one of my heroes Stevo. The world would be a better place if he was here no questions about it.
NOBODY DOES IT LIKE CONAN
RIP Steve. You are missed. A legend
OMG!! I have never laughed so hard
😂😂!!. What a way to start my day! The world misses you Steve !!!!
Underrated duo, these two
he rocking them shorts
Me and my late father used to watch steve on cable tv almost everyday... I missed em both..😢😢😢
His son looks like his identical twin. Lol
At all times he speaks with an enthusiasm not seen in another I know of today
Steve is one of the of us. A human that was one of a kind.
His children have ALSO proved a great testament to what kind of man he was
when tv was still fun to watch
Miss you man. Your son still follows your footsteps. you would be so proud.
Robert is doing you soo proud Steve,
miss you man
I love that both 100% sent it on that croc.
Absolutely beautiful!! Looks @ Steve’s energy!! There will never anyone like him. R.I.P Steve Irwin!!!!!!! ❤️❤️🙏❤️❤️ G.O.A.T
Steve is an absolute legend
I still remember when he died, cried so much!
Wow, I remember this from my college days. First time I ever saw Steve Irwin and Conan's show was still struggling. I miss these days.
I live in the US. On the day Steve died I went on an Aussie chat room and chatted with them all night, thanking them for sharing him with us
