One of Steven's best: "The early bird catches the worm, but it's the second mouse who gets the cheese."
That’s science😂
@@yardarm5 That line is an example of a paraprosdokian.
@@Mason_Courtney He's a master of those.
@@yardarm5or Darwinism!
I started to read Harold using Steven Wright’s voice as the narrator in my head. I started the book last April. Im on page 7.
This is a terribly underrated comment.
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
I read your comment in Steven’s voice. 👍🏼😂
@@mocat1have you finished yet?

"I saw a man with a wooden leg and a real foot." Steven Wright
These two comedians get each other. When Conan sincerely tells Steven how much he loves Harold, then asks the age, then says, he didn't read it thoroughly and makes Steven laugh....so much comfort in this simple truth. Watching something that is real.
How Conan makes Steven laugh is joyful 🥰. I could listen to these two talk together for hours. 🙂
They did talk for hours 😋
I'm 75 and have been a Steven Wright fan forever. As for Conan, when he first got his late night show, I used to ask myself, how is he able to do and say that on television? LOL I was a fan from the start. Keep it up you two!
You could have him on every podcast and I'd sit here completely enthralled. Steven is such a genius. And Conan hit it right out of the park once again.
I'm just a guy in his 50s with an office job, but I remember when I first found Steven Wright's comedy - I thought it was revolutionary. It was the first comedy I saw which actually made me think and I could tell had much thought behind it. It was actually clever! I can't think of a more satisfying comedian to watch and listen to. Thank you Steven for what you've done over the years. What a legend.
I love how delighted Steven is every time Conan insults him, his book, his career, his soup, etc.
This might be the best interview Conan has done for his podcast.
Steven Wright is like a walking “The Far Side” comic.
I was curious so I looked it up, Steven Wright first performed stand-up in 1979, the same year "The Far Side" was created.
Indeed, the chemistry between these two is magical!
How dare you make me emotional during an interview with Steven Wright? This man has been my comedy idol for my entire life, and to see him and Conan on an hour-long podcast, talking about Steven's novel that he started on Twitter, is the best thing. I cannot wait to read it.
I always thought one of the great "inside comedy" bits was when they cast the brilliant and hilarious Steven Wright in Half Baked, and he just played a guy who slept on the couch the whole movie!
I haven't seen Steven in years. If he narrates the audiobook I will buy it in a heartbeat.
Same.
I bought it in a hardcover.
He does
Great conversation between these two! Yes he needs to come back on the podcast!!!
It's amazing to me and sweet how Steven Wright receives Conan's wavelength and laughs. So genuine.
Just preordered it. Such an awesome thinker. Man, his words have been in my head for 35 years.
The genuine love & admiration between these two guys is beautiful to see.
Conan finally took a compliment pretty nicely. Good job Coco lol
my favorite art is when a human being is expressing themselves truly and freely and I think Steven is great at that
I went into a dinner and the sign said breakfast any time so I ordered French toast during the renaissance.
Really enjoyed the conversations with Steven Wright!
people like to say carson was the best host but watching his clips the jokes don’t land. conan is def the GOAT of late night. at least from my generations perspective. and seeing the mutual respect from one of the best to ever so comedy is just awesome. real recognize real
I have never had a much of a wish to know any celebrity, but I would love to be Steven Wright's friend. Such an engaging interesting guy. Oops, I almost forgot about Conan. Call me.
Whenever im having a hard time, i listen to Steven Wright. And things get better. He’s the best
Wright starred in this great short film, The Appointments of Dennis Jennings. Made in the late 80s, surprised it's not better known.
For which he won an Oscar.
Do things taste salty to you?
It's one generation of legend with another. Holy Balls. The mutual love is palpable!!!
Did anybody know that Steven Wright has an Oscar? In1988, for a short film titled, The Appointments Of Dennis Jennings.
with Rowan Atkinson (Mr Bean)
I like steven and conan banter however i could not help but reminisce about norm macdonald. I would have loved to see a long form podcast with norm and conan. RIP norm.
Norm's death was a straight-up tragedy. I find it difficult to even watch his last Netflix special, knowing he couldn't even have a live audience for it.
I have been watching you two for a long time. You are great together. Two great comedians.
I am buying that book.
The daydreaming sounds like a Studio Ghibli / Miyazaki story - very cool
it's a brilliant book. I'll finish it for the first time this weekend. I love the flow and shape of things through the first ten pages.
Steven Wright is one of us - a Conan fan.
I don't know if I've ever had a more immediate preorder after learning of something's soon to be existence.
As a fun side note, and maybe somehow appropriate, the 9 ratings for the book are dispersed between 2013-2015. A future review from the past, perhaps? I will say, the fact that this book might have the attribute of being the "Perfect size for chubby toddler fingers, and robust enough to endure their page turning.", certainly catches my eye for its potential longevity.
What can be said? Top 5 Coco conversation. Steven M'effin' Wright, man. Right on!
4:45 I forget where I read this but there was one poet who experimented with cognition-enhancing narcotics and said that in one night he felt like he had experienced over seventy years of time.
When we die our brains do weird things around the pineal gland, which has been likened to the specific part of the brain acting as the conduit that we experience the world through
The brain is so complex that it's hard to say if there is any upper limit at all in terms of how dilated our experience of time can get
Consciousness may be able to asymptotically stretch out "eternally" as death comes, to the person experiencing all that brain stuff, so that we never really die [or we have some eternal "afterlife" right there, but that's just a stoned idea]
Like black holes and their nonsense involving time around event horizons
Very relative
I think that would require our consciousness to be exponentially more flexible than our fleshy organized brain
That may be true or may not
True would be cool, it could explain why the organized fleshy brain structure's ability to manipulate electrons around can create such magic as consciousness. In comparison to what we'd normally believe the fleshy body is capable of facilitating, consciousness may be/seem in some kind of infinity realm, in terms of how flexible and strong it can become, and could even more greatly be assisted by a new kind of process/aspect/lobe in the brain.
We should create a new centralized brain lobe
One that because of its shape gathers energy passively and radiates something for the rest of the brain
Wave frequencies or something
To help everything be cohesive
Rather than relying on heartbeat and breathing to regulate stuff
Or perhaps rather than relying even on what we normally consider our bodies. the new thing could evolve us sort of overnight
The difference between life and nonlife is the structure of it
I loved this book. My brain was almost full, and this book was just enough to leave enough space for a sequel
I actually want to read this book, and that is shocking for me lol
I'm Trapped, In You.
Two of my all time favorite crackers! While Steven is more my flavor, I’ve injured ribs laughing at Conan.
Anybody that discounts Conan as a comedy guy. I've never seen Steven laugh as much with anyone else.
I love that he gave a shout out to coffee 😄
Love, that Wright's having a blast, like, over the course of the entire podcast, LOL😆
"how dare you judge me" - fantastic
I watched the Craig Ferguson supercut last night its basically 2 and a half hours of Steven with the talk show animal highly recommend if you haven't seen it yet
"snakes have no arms that's why they don't wear vests". -S Wright
I love this guy. Should be a regular.
Also, I saw where you ran into the great Paul Williams on 5th Avenue. You should have him on your Podcast, especially to chat about the making of the wacky and wonderful film, THE LOVED ONE.
6 degrees of Conan O' Brian
I wonder if Mr. Wright took the name of his book, HAROLD, from the most amazing children's book, Harold And The Purple Crayon?
coffee and Valium sat down for a chat
Thank you for doing this!
😍

Thanks Conan and team 🙏
"I read, when I'm looking at a book, I read"
"I didn't read it that thoroughly" Conan conjuring Norm Macdonald
I want to see Steven jacked up on caffeine. 😊
Brilliant. Thanks.
Why is a lot of this missing from the podcast? You don’t have to shorten greatness to fit it into a set amount of time. We don’t care if things run long especially when it’s interesting
Boa noite, um bel entrevista com homem de sucesso. Parabéns pelo vídeo.
Wright on!
im gonna get that book
That book sounds really interesting and fun. I'm gonna pick it up.
Lol. My comment sounds like it was written by a representative from Simon & Shuster. 😅
I wonder if conan is a creative guitarist. He seems very methodical and obviously creative with the written word. Does he get creative with chord/notational progressions or is he more of a play it. When he noodles is he noodling or just rehashing?
oh, i love this so much 🥹🥰🫂
Got that Wright!
Incredible
Why am I seeing ads for a cruise - I’d rather die
You two are pretty cute with eachother lol
I started reading Steven's book with my specialized eyeglasses but then the prescription ran out...
I have a map of the United States. Actual size.
Great... now I'm craving rich, buttery crackers...
He looked so odd in his youth...now he looks distinguished like the fishermen on the end of the dock.
Something about talking to Stephen Wright slowed Conan's speech all the way down for once
The RUclips video they are referring to: ruclips.net/video/cOiAtxgDLdE/видео.html
Off Topic, but you guys really need to RUclips "A.I. Conan eats chicken and crashes his car" . . . Somehow stumbled upon it and I am currently in some sort of existential crisis.
You guys asked Steven to write the headline, didn't you?
Definitely not saving it for the eulogy at the end there, huh?
Steven Wright Wrote
"It's a small world. But I wouldn't want to paint it."
😐
Conan O’Brien needs a friend and a hairstylist
coulda sworn he died
You think the Donald is going to want two million from each of the Jan.6th defendants for pardons? I guess they all better start saving now or write some best sellers....

stuck in the middle with you
In the two shot, Steven looks like a hobbit compared to Conan.

"Numbers don't lie."
4: "I'm a number five!"
Who are the people laughing in the background? Annoying
Last.
