In this episode?! Kevin is witty and dry and all over like this in every interview. He's amazing! I love guests that crack up Conan. Bill Burr is another great
Kevin Nealon is the best at being innocently insulting and referring to a joke told 5 minutes earlier. So consistently funny and never grossly offensive. Super creative and out of left field thinking. I always get the impression that he is also a very nice man. He was making Conan work up a bit of a sweat on this one which is always enjoyable especially with Sona laughing.
Kevin Nealon is massively underrated, he's always trying interesting new things that no other comedian does, a super creative comic, and and he's always had really good banter with Conan.
@@jeremyc9593 Yeah, as much as Ilove norm and he was good on it, he always seemed like he was subverting the format rather than it really working for him.
Yep...this is the rare excellence of not just 2 comedians but SMART comedians....multi-dimensional whole people....... Most comedians/celebrities in the 20 years are 1 dimensional....just hollow fame.....pretty rare these days to find depth, intelligence, humor, and authenticity in individuals.... The world is fake now
Conan is empathetic as well. He did not want to make fun of 300 lb people. They do not have the same sense of humor. I have been watching Conan shows since 1998, this guy is exceptional. He comes across as an excellent human being while being super funny.
They definitely don't have the same sense of humor. Conan is self deprecating and silly. Nealon is much more cocky and a bit insecure. He's non committal and needs constant validation and attention. That's why he has such a hard time interviewing people, because he doesn't really care about what they have to say. Conan is insecure but in a way that just needs you to laugh at him. Why do you think Sona is always around? Kevin will attack people to make himself feel better about himself. Conan never does that, but he does defend himself.
“I’m not looking for laughs. I’m just behaving as I would in front of an iconic legend.” Nealon is so genius at delivering these devastating lines so tossed off and seemingly random. You don’t learn this, you’re born with it.
I never knew how funny Kevin Nealon was until this interview. I heard this on Spotify and I was cracking up. Not sure if he tours the UK but it would be great to see him.
Kevin Nealon is one of those people that can't be serious, ever. Everything is a joke no matter what. Conan tries to get him to be serious and it's a complete trainwreck.
Of every episode of this podcast that I have watched this one most exceeded my expectations. Insane bits, joyful antagonism, and the whole crew slowly going insane. Magnificent.
2 old friends messing around with each other. This is what dinner with Conan must be like. That, and making people do impressions. He gets people to entertain
My comment in another video making the same point but specifying why this is special "This is more than great comedy. It's two people who know about each other. Like an old friend who has drifted away but he gets who you truly are despite whatever socio economic difference you have now that once you didn't have, you both know the line to tow & stretch it without crossing it. Or its like meeting a guy who you were friend with when you were married & were the double date couple, you have a great understanding of each other so when you meet it clicks but you know you can't make it permanent because of other situations so you have to tread the line & just reminisce. No guest knew the ways of Conan better than Nealon, maybe Dana Carvey did but he wasn't intuitive as Nealon who just absorbs things. Like the "don't attack me" is all about the passive aggressive trait of Conan, Sona who knows Conan the best even didn't spot that but Nealon noticed it in a sec. Same with Conan spotting Nealon shifting topics when asked to open up."
4:19-4:26 was especially great. Only Kevin and a small number of others can so perfectly/comedically raise the octave in their tone to say 'I Feel Bad For You', in such an eloquently sincere sounding, yet simultaneously condescending way. Gets me every time. Legend.

This was such a painfully funny episode. The old school guys like Spade, Short and Nealon deliver every time. I’m assuming we’ll be seeing full episodes online soon (please)…. seems like the studio is fully set up for it now. Seeing the smiles, the glances, the straw bits, etc makes for an even funnier experience.
yeah I find Spade and Nealon actually sort of do a similar thing, lots of really short, really fast jokes that are just reactions. Spade is obviously more sarcastic (sometimes) and self deprecating whereas Nealon is sort of either a bit goofy, or hilariously mean, almost in a Rickles way but much more modern. Incredible to see 2 guys who have both been funny forever, and have known each other so long, it's borderline telepathic
Whenever I see these two, I always think of the talk show episode where Kevin kept saying that he had to leave, and then kept coming back to explain something else, over and over again.
Kevin is a true entertainer. Was lucky enough to see him do stand up live twice and he was excellent both times. A quick wit and genuinely funny guy. Great energy too!
@@mediocreman2it reminds me of terrible dates, where one person is just asking random questions but doesn't listen to the response because they don't really care about the response of course, they are just making noise so there isn't complete silence
This is the Burnout 3 crash mode of comedy. A beautiful, chaotic train wreck, each moment creating a cascade of disaster. It's absolutely hilarious and I wouldn't change a thing. I watch this interview every few months when I'm feeling down. It consistently makes me laugh and gasp for breath 🤣
Burnout 3, now that's a rare reference. I remember playing it on the ps2 with connected wheels and pedals, and playing the Lazy Generation on the car radio. Good times
The episode of Hiking With Kevin, with Conan was the BEST. So much sarcasm! Kevin kept asking questions add then changing the subject, and Conan kept calling him on it. It was hilarious!!!
@@pixelkat1819 When I can't sleep I sometimes see if Conan has a new podcast and it helps me go back to sleep listening to him chatting away. This one kept me awake though!
2 of the most quick witted comedians ad libbing in the moment is very impressive. The number of funny things per minute is incredible for an interview. The majority of comedians do not have this many funny things per minute even in their preplanned best 10 minutes of material they spent the past two years working on.
Love it when old friends come in on the podcast and get reactions from Conan like this. It's like the celeb facade comes down and it's like he's talking to siblings lol.
I never knew Kevin was so great until I saw you two together and then watched some of his standup. And I will say- you two bring out the best (comedy) in each other! It's rare that I can't stop laughing. You two get me there day after day, week after week, aeon after aeon. Well, hyperbole. THANKS. I had to buy the largest suit I have ever bought today, and was feeling a little blue.
I listened to this while driving, and it was one of the most insane podcast interviews I'd ever heard. I knew I had to see the videos once I had the chance. They do not disappoint. 🤣
The "good listener" call-out is perfection -- pointing out a flaw (within a 5-min. stretch!) with comedic overlay ... well done Kevin! 👏👏👏 Conan would have taken it a much different way coming from anyone else!
I cannot get enough of these two together. I am trying to think of a name for this type of humor. It’s become a daily thing for me lately and I’m a bit worried about myself.
"it's Kevin Nealon right?"
that sentence and the delivery of it sums up Kevin Nealon. He's absolutely hilarious.
I thought I was writing a check that, it's worked by hilariously not looking or reading it, so I always thought redcappen is a real far place.
YES. That line was brilliant 😆
Right from the start he's so creative and funny.
Kevin and Norm have to be related somehow
take a break we’ll be right back
Kevin knows how to push the wrong buttons at the right time with this episode. Everyone is in stitches by episode's end.
bleep
I was laughing so hard listening to Kevin try to get words out during their challenge near the end. I would love to see that video.
I think the only person better at derailing Conan was Norm
Yeah, I was in tears throughout this episode. 😂

Is your _real_ name Kevin?
He has his own RUclips series where he goes on hikes with celebrities and it's really delightful.
He made me a fan with these appearances
@marcdumont2275 notice how Conan says that in the episode
This has become my most replayed episodes. Kevin is a master troll, Conan and Sona did so well handling it. This was a masterpiece.
100% agree, every rewatch you can find new comedic nuances that you missed previously.
yeah, I find myself here again. I've lost count.
Hear here…
I don’t get it
So true
Kevin Nealon is massively underrated, he's always trying interesting new things that no other comedian does, a super creative comic, and and he's always had really good banter with Conan.
Agreed, and even though I'm a huge Norm fan as well, I always though Kevin was the best SNL news anchor
@@jeremyc9593 Yeah, as much as Ilove norm and he was good on it, he always seemed like he was subverting the format rather than it really working for him.
@@OptimusSatanas VERY astute observation, IMHO
Was epic in Weed's
@@OptimusSatanas Yes, that's the point
Kevin is one of the few people who can properly roast Conan and I am all here for it.
The other one is Martin Short
you are all there? lol
@@beanzburriton4263 that's what he said...
I love how he calmly roasts Conan. Kevins an underrated comic
@@TheGreatBlackBird when Martin starts by saying "You look great Conan! You look like..." you know is going to be hilarious.
This was like a heavyweight championship boxing match of improv. Kevin had Conan on the ropes at times. Fantastic.
You are not analyzing it correctly. Conan was never on the ropes, the only thing that happens here is Nealon making a fool of himself
They bicker like an old married couple. Happy 90th anniversary to Conan and Kevin.
The banter between these guys is absolute gold.
Yep...this is the rare excellence of not just 2 comedians but SMART comedians....multi-dimensional whole people.......
Most comedians/celebrities in the 20 years are 1 dimensional....just hollow fame.....pretty rare these days to find depth, intelligence, humor, and authenticity in individuals....

They both have the same sense of humor. It's like watching a mirror match in a video game.
But absolutely different style of delivery.
Nealon is subtle, Conan is anything but.
This was almost as good as the time nardwuar interviewed eric andre
And Sona, her delightful laugh and her jabs at Conan are the icing on this magical cake!
Conan is empathetic as well. He did not want to make fun of 300 lb people. They do not have the same sense of humor. I have been watching Conan shows since 1998, this guy is exceptional. He comes across as an excellent human being while being super funny.

Please do yourself a favor and look up clips of "Mr. Subliminal" a character of his from SNL. Its amazingly funny.
Kevin Nealon is one of those people that can't be serious, ever. Everything is a joke no matter what. Conan tries to get him to be serious and it's a complete trainwreck.
Listen to his first appearance in the podcast!
@@sqgnz the first appearance on the podcast was insanely funny
Watch his podcast!!! It’s on RUclips.
The most chaotic and funniest ep in a while, shame gourley wasnt there for it
Yah where was he?
He was too busy hunting for another vintage Studebaker.
He had to go get his special honeycomb treat before it sold out
I like it better without him
@@demarcdegasol , Jesus, why?!

This is like watching Space Ghost Coast to Coast except it's actually two human beings in real life. These are people who exist.
Oh my god, that’s spot on 😂😂
Conan has a Space Ghost Episode
Yeah if you rewrite space ghost
The podcast should be uploaded to RUclips in its entirety. Spotify is cool and all but the video adds an extra comedic dimension
100% agree
can we just get full video clips somehwere i dont even care if its some conan+ subscription patreon type thing
I agree they shouldupload afull yt vid for this podcastonly! Im dying laughing
it's probably for legal or business reason why they're not
@@dba4292 people know about that, but we want the video aspect, not just audio.
Kevin is the driest troll of all-time 😂
He's so damn quick and sly with his comebacks

Thank you kind stranger on the internet.
There is so much pain in the world. Thank God Conan and Nealon exist.
Love from India
I love when Conan plays the exasperated straight man and Kevin dials it up to 11.
0:35 Conan says "I want all of this in" and then later on insists that none of the interview is usable lol
I haven’t laughed this hard in a while, gotta have more Kevin in our life.
Every time Kevin says.. "I'm not kidding around".. always follows with some shenanigans. 😆

Remarkable that Spade can be called an “old school guy” nowadays. So much time has passed lol

Whenever I see these two, I always think of the talk show episode where Kevin kept saying that he had to leave, and then kept coming back to explain something else, over and over again.
"It's Kevin Nealon right?" Is insane 😂😂😂
Kevin Nealon is the guy sipping a fountain drink as he walks to his car at every gas station in America.
Sam Rockwell is also that kind of guy, but instead of walking, he's dancing. 😂
How Kevin can keep his composure, let the joke breath, and pick it up without a second beat is incredible.
Kevin : “ I feel like you have no friends”
Sona: “Aww”
She is awful. The podcast doesn't need a laugh track and her inane reactions.
@ash8298
Cry.
Nealon killed this!!! Only would ask the editor to number them so we could watch in sequence. Your best podcast to date!
"How....dare you"
"How dare I?"
This sums up the entire podcast....LMFAO!
Kevin is a true entertainer. Was lucky enough to see him do stand up live twice and he was excellent both times. A quick wit and genuinely funny guy. Great energy too!
I’ve watched this podcast many times now and it never gets old. Two very good funny as hell friends just jabbing at each other. Love it
I listened to every single episode and the chemistry conan has with kevin is by far the best of all the guests he had.
This episode of CONAF is single-handedly curing the depression in New England caused by the dark days of winter. And yes I am from Conan’s hometown!😂
Sona laughing at Kevin pretending to miss the straw at 5:58 kills me
the straw bits! 7:41 lol it was like a solid foot away from his face when reaching for it
Watching it back, I THINK Kevin was even giving her a direct "look" before/while doing it! Too funny
He would never use that straw because of famous me being me and you.
Her edibles were strong this day!!!
They're the perfect bromance that keep challenging each other.
0:09 This reaction says it all. Kevin is one of the few that can out-troll Conan. It's like Conan is Kevin's Jack McBrayer. 🤣
this is spot on.
lol well put!
Conan is always exhausted by Kevin 😂
Because he is Conan to Conan.

he moved to "Las Vegas, with Dean Martin and Chevy Chase.

the straw bits! 7:41 2:35
This episode was off the rails funny, so hilarious
The thumbnail alone has me cackling. God bless Kevin Nealon

Nealon is only funny here because of the dynamic with Conan busting his balls. When Nealon interviews other people then it's a mess
Best episode ever, I looked like a lunatic laughing to myself when I played this on a stroll today 😂
Love it when old friends come in on the podcast and get reactions from Conan like this. It's like the celeb facade comes down and it's like he's talking to siblings lol.
This man will always be the golfer in Happy Gilmore teaching Happy how to feel the flow LOL. What a legend
1:18 when Kevin starts snoring when Conan started talking, I died
Oh god I almost died when he said obligated. #1 best answer ever. lololol
"Legendary!" Was a hilarious line Kevin Nealon had on the TV show Weeds. He'd yell "legendary" during climax.
Here I am watching this again😅 I don’t know how many times I watched these clips of conan and kevin😂
Classic duo. They should make a movie.
Im crying im so happy to hear them talk. This is so good.
Sonya chuckling in the background is everything 😂
the wit between these two is so amazing i feel like im gaining braincells somehow
I almost died listening to this podcast. Driving on the highway and listening to this i was laughing so hard i couldn't see! These two are money!!!
Kevin is the best at keeping people off balance. He's great at creating awkward moments.
Kevin to conan is kinda like what conan is to jack mcbrayer
Most underrated comment this one 👌👌
I have rewatched this series of clips from the podcast countless times. The back and forth still kills me everytime I listen to this.

Love this! Always wondered when someone was going to use "obligated" as an answer
I need the bit where they were trying to do it serious for 3 minutes. Haven’t laughed that hard in a while.
I listened to this while driving, and it was one of the most insane podcast interviews I'd ever heard. I knew I had to see the videos once I had the chance.
They do not disappoint. 🤣
there's no stopping with these two, its just back and forth punchline after punchline :)
So much respect for this guy, the more I get to know him love him ❤
Watching this clip again, this is the greatest interview in all of conan obrian needs a friend pod cast.
I was laughing at my desk like a fool at this whole episode. Excellent. Masterpiece.
Could listen to those guys go back and forth all day
Why is watching this trainwreck of a conversation so addictive?
Kevin loves being perfectly infuriating and it's great.
00:07:08 "..but you're not that friendly" 🤣😆
His morning walks are like the mr rogers show for comics. Healing ❤️🩹 through taking a step forward. 🔥

Roasting, basically 😅
Kevin was just trying to make Sona laugh throughout.... she has that laugh that makes people feel good
Are these two brothers? The true relaxed bs, that's fantastic chemistry.
No way, Conan would get an anuyerism if he hung out with Nealon all the time, there's only so much you can take of his nonsense
Kevin is a true artist
Conan does a great drone impression.
Dying at that second, cold "It's Kevin Nealon", like a voicemail
Kevin as a guest made my Monday morning but hearing Sona laugh her butt off AT Conan made my week! 😂
Most amazing interview ever. Top 3, these 2 are incredible people. Love you conan and Kevin
"Tell me about yourself" is the worst question to be asked in an interview, lol.
Or a date
This has to be Conan's best hair day in years
Hilarious sparring! They are a good match for one another. This was fun to watch.
really need this episode in full video! these two are my happiness rn
My 3 favs of ALL TIME, in no particular order, Norm, Kevin, Bill Burr. Its been that way for decades, and will never change.
Kevin and Conan are like Ham and Cheese. They go well together.
