Sona: outstanding job. Way to step up during such an overwhelming time with the perfect balance of humor and respect. We love all of our Chill Chums (that means you too, Gourls)
I live in Boston and I heard people talking about Dr. and Mrs. O'Brians' passings completely unrelated to Conan, it was a little surreal. Condolences to the whole family.
This makes me realize what superstars everyone on Conan’s team are. I think it’s because they’re all decent people and somehow it’s comforting to watch them as they cover for their boss who they love during his time of grief. What a sad but heartwarming Christmas it’s turning out to be. (Conan O’Brien is Surrounded by Friends just doesn’t have the same ring to it though.)
This was a joy to watch/listen to. My condolences goes out to Conan and the whole O'Brien clan. I must say though, literally my first thought when I heard about his parents passing was how incredibly beautiful it was that they were not parted for long, so I'm happy that sentiment was echoed by Sona and Matt!
We love you, Conan. And great job to Sona and Gourles for handling this with the same signature humor/banter as the normal podcast. It must've been tough to talk about, especially for Sona.
No other celebrity on the planet would invoke such strong emotions of sympathy and loss during this sad time for the O'Brien family. You really have touched all of our hearts with your authenticity and humour. Love from Canada.
CONAF has definitely been one of the best parts of 2024 for me. The hilarity, silliness, uncomfortable truths, and team dynamics have been a joy to behold. Condolences to Conan; it is cool though that his parents were married for 66 years. That’s goals.
@@ctrainbeatsI think we’re in the same age range; I’m 42 now. I remember being 15 in high school and being shocked when I’d make new friends with people whose parents were still married. Mine divorced 31 years ago; still great friends to this day
So sorry to hear about Conan's parents passing. My folks passed away 2 weeks apart and as devastating as it is I like tho think they would have wanted that way.
I’m about Conan’s age. Maybe a couple of years older. Over the last thirty years, probably watched every episode of every show and avatar he inhabited. Even though access to it all wasn’t the easiest here in India. After all these years I feel like I knew his parents! Condolences Conan.
You guys did such a good job for this serious one. The love, genuineness, and humor found in these moments was something I was convinced was an uncommon trait of Conan’s, but it shines through from each of you as well.
Much love to Conan and family. Conan has brought so much joy and laughter to me over so many years it's tough to think of him feeling loss and sadness, but I have no doubt that in his uniquely Irish Catholic way he will push that sadness down and find a way to turn it into laughter. Profound condolences.
My deepest condolences to Conan and his family. I have heard about his parents for all these years to the point that I think I know them (at least through Conan's eyes and comedy). Honestly, it's a blessing that they had such full lives. And in Chinese culture (and I'm sure many others), passing above a certain "ripe old" age like 80 or 90, the passing becomes a celebration of their life and less of a mourning.
My heartfelt condolences to the entire O’Brien family. This trio has been a source of immense joy in my life, especially during the challenging times of the pandemic when I needed it most.
I know Sona was probably pretty anxious about having to do that intro, but she did an absolutely brilliant job. It's clear that she's also affected by the O'Brien's passing, but she balanced that perfectly with just the right amount of humor to ease the tension.
I bet Sona just knew those details about his family, that’s very sweet. Hoping Coco gets to have a very merry Christmas despite the losses. Praying for that, peace for your grieving family and sending all the cheer. 🧡🧡
My deepest condolences to Conan and his family during this tough time. He has brought me immeasurable joy during some of the toughest times in my life. I do hope he is able to see the comments from everyone here in the future to see just how many people are supporting him right now. And kudos to the rest of Team Coco for handling the situation so well. You are all awesome ❤
My heart sincerely goes out to Conan O’ Brien, and his family. I hope he doesn’t rush or worry to about when to come back. Conan has been bringing us happiness & laughs for over 30 years. He deserves all the time he needs, and a little extra.
We all love Conan, he is the best late night host around. Very sorry for his loss, and thanks for hanging in there Sonja and Matt, the extended family steps up.
I’ve been thinking of Conan so much since I heard about his parents - but just wanna say that it feels appropriate that a legend has two legends for parents
When the alpha is not there but you still enjoy watching it tells you perfectly that these three are just gold trio. All their personality and humor are so balanced.
Condolences to Conan. I hope you can find peace and understanding with all of this. His parents raised a really spectacular, hard working, and hilarious kid…whether it was intentional or not.
Sending deepest condolences from my Ohio family to Conan and his family🕊 Always appreciated how lovingly Conan talked about his parents, even when joking around❤
God Bless you Conan, and your Family. As a random Fan who watched you for Decades and like Many Million of us Fans, we feel this and wish you some Peace and Comfort in this rough time for you and your loved ones .😔
Sending love and prayers to Conan and his family. His parents were such a big part of his career and I feel like we knew them just a bit. As sad as it is, especially around the holidays, it is lovely that they are together forever in eternity and didn’t have to live without one another. ❤❤
This was wonderful !!! Thank you for putting this episode together (a nice way to give Conan some time to deal with the things he needs to deal with right now) + (but it was also really nice, and a good look for Conan being great at improv, Conan talking about his family, Conan being funny, and the way Sona and Gourley complement Conan - make Conan shine).
Conan has done so much for us. Anyone know if there's anything happening online with his fans to put together a condolences card or something like that?
It's amazing how much joy this group brings to the world with their silly antics. I've loved watching Conan ever since middle school. I had to sneak so I could stay up and watch Late Night on something called "television". ❤ Coco and I'm sorry for your loss.
sona always says she's "not good" as a podcaster, but damn she's FABULOUS. she's even better than I could have thought! like, give her her own podcast!! she's so conversational and witty, and naturally has a perfect balance of serious and comedic moments.
One of my top moments this year was watching “Conan Helps His Assistant Buy A New Car” and falling into the rabbit hole of content and loving it. I was so happy to see CONAF as my top podcast this year 🧡 My sincere condolences to Conan and his family.
I'm the kind of person who has never actually cared about celebrities but hearing that both of Conans parents passing so close to each other is very sad, everytime Conan mention his parents even if it's in a joke kind of way you can tell that he is very proud of his parents. I'm sorry to hear about their passing and I want Conan to know that he can take as much time as he need for this, my condolences.
Sending prayers and love to Conan and his entire family. 🙏✝️ Obviously very sad, but as Sona said there is a certain beauty and power to moving on so closely together.
@2:35 Gourley stepping right into Conan's shoes and calling out Sona for her inability to pretend. In all seriousness, I'm glad Conan's able to step away and trust in Sona, Matt and everyone else to take care of things.
Thoughts goes out to conan and fam. Hope theyll have a loving christmas time now. Cant imagine how much losing them both that close to each other can hurt.
24:53, Gourley... When I tell you that someone did this to me and my friends once. We were coming back from a friend's house and there was just some random drunk dude in the middle of the road. We pass him. Think he's passed out or drunk. Ask if he's ok. And he just says "Yeah just looking at the stars." And we drove off....
52:50 Sona and Matt drunk on Chill-Chums is definitely a fan favorite. (I understand Conan wanting to be professional, and also wanting to steer the ship. But tipsy+++ Chill Chums should have some kind of exception.)
At 24:50 when Gourley talks about playing "dead man". I did that once when I was 10. (I thought I was the only one who did this offed up prank). I was in a tiny rural town with my grandpa who was working at a creamery. He brought me along that day and I was bored out of my mind. While wandering around outside, I found a railroad spike. In this tiny town of about 400 people, cars didn't drive by often. But often enough. So I lay in the parking lot next to the road, very still, holding the spike so it looks like it was sticking out of my chest. I'd wait for cars to slow down (my eyes were closed so I looked dead), and when they slowed or stopped, I'd suddenly sit up and wave. They'd then speed away. So wrong to do that omg. LOL But also funny.
It's been abundantly clear over the course of these years of podcasts just hopw much love Conan had for his parents. From Pidgeon Pie to Bologna Boy and onward. Terrible to lose both parents in such a short time, but there's no doubt there was immense love from Conan and his siblings. May they have the most peaceful of rests after a life the lengths of which no one could sneeze at.
Oh I was so hoping they’d do the lux bidet ad. That is hands down the most I have ever laughed from the podcast. I was also at work at the time. I almost died trying to laugh quietly at my desk

He died from Jordan Schlansky's soul-absorbing stare of lifelessness. He met him face-to-face one too many times.

Sona: outstanding job. Way to step up during such an overwhelming time with the perfect balance of humor and respect. We love all of our Chill Chums (that means you too, Gourls)
Sona in 1st chair !! Killing it
Definitely. Would still need Matt but she's getting the start.
Sona is actually good at balancing comedy and serious news. It’s no wonder she’s Conan’s assistant. Gourley’s great too.
True fans know Conan likes her for her sense of humor and quick wit as well.
And I was led to believe she’s the world’s worst assistant. 😂😂 legend.

Sona did such a wonderful job and spoke so beautifully about Conan’s parents. Great job guys, hearts out to Conan and his family
Sona really channeled Conan in this whole segment... She mixed sadness due to something bad and cheer through comedy so perfectly.
I love Conan so much man, I'm hurting at that idea of him and his loved ones hurting.
All my heart goes out to them 🙌🏿
I wouldn't really say they're hurting. They had a beautiful life. The parents went together and that's kind of beautiful. No reason to be sad.
@@PopsiCOLEI think both things can be true at once.
Wow Sona is so excellent at keeping the spirit up while still being kinda serious!
No other celebrity on the planet would invoke such strong emotions of sympathy and loss during this sad time for the O'Brien family. You really have touched all of our hearts with your authenticity and humour. Love from Canada.
Prayers to Conan and family. Thanks Ruthe and Thomas for giving us Conan.
My condolences to Conan and his entire family of 800+ members.
Thanks for the full episode! Sending the O'Brien's so much Love and deepest condolences.
This is absolutely the right way to handle this difficult situation. My condolences.
My deepest sympathy to Conan and his entire family. Sending love from the Philippines❤
The second I saw Sona in that chair, I started tearing up like a fool. 💖💖

So sorry to hear about Conan's parents passing. My folks passed away 2 weeks apart and as devastating as it is I like tho think they would have wanted that way.
It's sad that they died, but I think they beauty of them dying just days apart (at over 90 years old) trumps the sadness.

I think this PROVES how much of a rockstar Sona is, time to bring back "SONA FIXES YOUR LIFE!"
We are so sorry for Conan's loss. I love that Conan has shared so much about his family so we all feel like we know them a bit.
I love Conan and it’s so sad about his parents. It’s so nice to see how much everyone who works for him love him and want to support him.

Sending love to Conan. Losing a parent isn't easy, regardless of age let alone both of them, days apart. Also, yes to Podcast Olympics!!!!
My condolences to Conan.. and also, what a coincidence that Matt and Sona are wearing the exact same outfits as they wore during the first story.. lol
Sona is so awesome and seems so genuine!!
Thanks Eduardo for signing off with Conan's 'peace out Tupac'!

That selfie story is so funny. I’d seen it before but I still laugh/cried at that craziness.
"My dream is that all of you attack me at once." I'm dead 😂
"Why can't I do this normally?" - That *is* normal for this show, and that's why it works. Sona and Gourley are great. All the best to Conan.
