In 2006 it had been 18 years since they'd lived in their old apartment. Now in 2024 it's been 18 years since they revisited it. I'm guessing the last 18 years have passed much faster for those guys. That's how it feels when you get old!
He did in newyork, he was driving around people in a van because the subway was closed and he passed by he’s old apartment and he stopped the van on a greenlight.
This guy is a national treasure. His knowledge of American culture and first hand witness to the forces behind events makes me love him more. Team Coco!!!
He is the one you want to sit near during long school function trips, until the overnight portion when sleep arrives. He is the best kind of see-saw of bright energy.
When I was in architecture school, we went to Chicago for our yearly field trip. I love informing people from NYC that Chicago is more important than NYC. It and the suburbs are seminal to architecture from the (nearly all of the first) skyscrapers to FLW, Mies, Sullivan, the White City, and world class urban design. One of our 2nd Year professors told us that going to Chicago in one's 2nd year of arch school is comparable to a secret handshake amongst architects.
That was a great week in Chicago. I went to the Friday show. It was just one big party outside in line. I hung out with cool people I never saw before or since in that line.
Conan worked on the Simpsons, SNL, and even was roommates with the brain behind Curb Your Enthusiasm. Dude, I wouldn't be surprised if his college roommate was some famous producer now.
They didn't show the windowless room that Jeff had Conan sleep in during one of the hottest summers in Chicago history. Also Jeff said that almost every night they would do a fake talk show in the living room where Conan was the host and he was the guest.
I saw the "Happy, Happy, Good Show" in that year and I remember Conan appearing in a diaper as the Kennedy baby just saying "deep, deep, ..." which was the whole sketch. If I am not mistaken, the Super Fans sketch was invented out of that show.
A Jagermeister machine... they hit the jackpot... Had Jagermeister once.... notice I said once. Don’t remember what happened that day but I remember the old Jager was responsible!
I've definitely had it more that once but I don't know how people willfully drink that swill. I've always wondered if it's popularity was due to people sort of ironically drinking it. It's literally liquorice flavored booze. It's just so bad.
I have a distant cousin that I'm pretty sure lived in that apartment. All Sox fans to this day loooved him; Baseball Commissioner Kenesaw Mountain Landis.
@@DFDuck55 well played. Most of the 8 earned that lifetime ban. Weaver and Jackson deserve to have it lifted. Too bad the ol judge never went after the 1918 Cubs for throwing that series as well.
@@Dirkdersoldat Yeah because you feel that chicago obligation to defend it till the end. believe me, I understand. I bet you will tell me you like your pizza cut into square slices too🤣
Imagine having a machine the size of a microwave on your counter just to make one kind of alcohol cold. If only we had some sort of large box that was always ice cold where we could store any type of beverage.
@Jeff B lol you just don't know Wrigleyville. Its literally.where the van wilders of the big10 move to and try to relive their frat days for one more decade. Peter pan syndrome in full effect. I live not too far away. This was filmed 14 years ago, but it hasn't changed very much.
I was in the audience this day. It rained and we waited outside for hours. Totally worth it.
Why were they booing Wrigley field?
@@DC_ABC_123 Because it’s Chicago….they have two MLB teams.
@@DC_ABC_123 white Sox fans
When talk shows were good 👌
I woulda been 3 months old lol
In 2006 it had been 18 years since they'd lived in their old apartment. Now in 2024 it's been 18 years since they revisited it. I'm guessing the last 18 years have passed much faster for those guys. That's how it feels when you get old!
Now I'm depressed
Imagine Conan O’Brien just showing up at your place and being like “I used to live here”
iamradical ok I’ve imagined that - now what?
Itd be even funnier if you were the original owner of the house🤣
Okay I have now, now what? What did imagining that do at all for my life? Nothing, not richer or anything. I hate you now.
He did in newyork, he was driving around people in a van because the subway was closed and he passed by he’s old apartment and he stopped the van on a greenlight.
I’d act like a hyper kid in a candy store lol 😂
landlord definitely raised the rent after that
Dingus Flotbottom yep!!!!!!
It got torn down 2 years later
newpicsenter.link/BOooUVVh1K8t
Wrigleyville became THE place to live, especially for the hipster movement. Working class people can't afford to move there anymore.
Damn I clicked that random RUclips comment link. My life is just all out of order.
It was 18 years between Conan living there & revisiting it here. Additionally, it’s been 13 years since this segment.
God were all getting old, lol
Damn I totally missed this not being a contemporary piece
So what’s your point
That's more than 3 decades!!!
Oddly enough, it’s been one year since you posted this comment.
This guy is a national treasure. His knowledge of American culture and first hand witness to the forces behind events makes me love him more. Team Coco!!!
Conan is the only late night presenter that's genuinely funny on his own.
Don’t get why Conan fans always need to say this. Conan is my favorite but I do think Colbert is hilarious as well.
@@JKennedy442 Imo he used to be. Hasn’t been the same since Colbert Report
that goes for Leno, Letterman too. Maybe you don't know, or haven't seen much of either - that's my only guess why you would say such a thing
@@djpopcorns OP is obviously under 13, only watches Late Night shows on RUclips, and has the most basic opinions on popular culture
He is the one you want to sit near during long school function trips, until the overnight portion when sleep arrives. He is the best kind of see-saw of bright energy.
I almost feel bad for the landlord, they get him boozed up on Jaeger, then make a bunch of jokes he doesn't know are jokes. XD
I didn't know they were jokes either.
Yeah I think he finally got it: 5:52
The stranger coming in for a drink is peak Chicago. It's like cigs on the red line
Absolutely nuts that this originally aired almost 15 years ago. Conan has aged very well.
To be fair Jeff Garlin's aged pretty well himself as well.
Money helps
Eating nothing but potatoes helps
Evan Phan definitely. He’s looked like he’s 40 for the last 2 decades.
@@MahoneyP573 poooooo taaaaa toooooes
Conans that bad influence everybody needs in their life
Jeff calls it the living room, Conan calls it the front room. We know who’s the real Chicagoan at heart.
The end of this video with the Sears tower is maybe one of the funniest things I've ever seen
That was such a Letterman-esque move. Made me nostalgic
Kia and the song is such a banger
I love how well Conan was connecting with that old guy
That improv of the famous events in that place was incredible.
Today, Conan looks 56 years old. 13 years ago? He looked 56 years old. Hasn't aged a day.
John Freeman lol
Stooppp 😂
The man looked 56 in '93 The bad news is, Conan is closer to death, the good news is he's exactly the same.
Thats a man for ya!
*It's true, because I thought that this was really from like 5 days ago too*
"Seabiscuit died in this room."
Because he couldn't stay off the horse! Ba-da-bump.
irish and irie peepeepoopoo
Conan always had the best editors
I love the on location bits you guys do. Conan you're the best.
Yeah its cool. Also 13 years old in case you didn't notice.
Conan: (takes a breath)
Audience: WOOOOOOO!!!! YEAH!!!!!!
Until I read the description I legimately thought this was filmed just recently.
Not a fan? ;)
That "Don't Worry Be Happy" / 1988 ad-lib was excellent
I could've sworn he was about to bring his old landlord out at the end! 😂
The landlord is so sweet and so confused 🤣
2006 I would say was Conan’s funniest year by far. Every single episode that year was hilarious
"We used to live here. Can we come up and look around?" Ha ha ha - I can't believe they got buzzed in!
I'm thinking they talked to the guy before they started taping.
conan produces some of the best scripted remotes
@aviato287 x WHAT? TV isn't real??? : D
They def called ahead and planned it tho lol
The apartment is so clean & organised & the orange paint, so fitting for Conan.
Conan doesn’t age at all 😧
And when he’s smiling he looks the sweetest
His hair with out product is a monster on its own lol
That landlord is hearing reasons to raise the rent.
When I was in architecture school, we went to Chicago for our yearly field trip. I love informing people from NYC that Chicago is more important than NYC. It and the suburbs are seminal to architecture from the (nearly all of the first) skyscrapers to FLW, Mies, Sullivan, the White City, and world class urban design. One of our 2nd Year professors told us that going to Chicago in one's 2nd year of arch school is comparable to a secret handshake amongst architects.
You know it!
sounds like something Ted Mosby would say lol
That was a great week in Chicago. I went to the Friday show. It was just one big party outside in line. I hung out with cool people I never saw before or since in that line.
sounds like half of my experiences in chicago
I'm here watching this because of his podcast. Well done Coco. Its really good. You get to know a side of Conan that you didn't know.
Jeff looks like Seth rogen with a hint of Jon favreau
Their weights put together.
Right on....
A radiant young Harvey Weinstein
The scene on curb where the lady flips out on him at a party thinking hes Weinstein his hilarious
LMAO -man i love chicago -the boos and cheers at the same time -real people
Close you eyes and listen to the landlord and tell me he couldn't pass for Fred Willard.
The Cubs physician's daughter
Titty residue
I hate art films.
I'm in love with the Coco
When I was a kid I called Jeff garlin: the dimestore John Goodman.
Lmao that's absolutely brilliant!
Ok the Nixon joke made me actually laugh out loud. Conan’s the best
When Jeff does an impression of Larry, he asks, "What are you ending with a preposition for?" That question ends with a preposition.
I remember being in that building a lot as a kid. Childhood friends of mine lived in the building.
This audience cheers and goes crazy for every sentence
Conan reminds me a little of the Hollywood star of 1940s/50s, Danny kay. Both in terms of looks and their mannerisms!
This guy looks Ike every landlord everywhere.
Ripvanwinklesdream he resembles the glade identity guy from breaking bad who just passed away.. resembles
Ha! Totally. I’m like “Gunther is that you?”
summer of 88. 1st season Wrigley Field started having night games. 8/8/88 to be exact
I lived at 3611 n Sheffield that year. Over the right field wall. Good times
you look happy and seems like ur having fun ! great idea to share old memories! love the new format ! Keep evolving Conan ! Stop in anytime !!
Conan worked on the Simpsons, SNL, and even was roommates with the brain behind Curb Your Enthusiasm. Dude, I wouldn't be surprised if his college roommate was some famous producer now.
His Harvard classmate was one of NBC executive while Conan was there.
Listen to those white sox fans howl at the mention of Wrigleyville.
"What's it like being a rocket scientist? "
thinking the Cub's physician's daughter was famous is soo Chicago lol
as a chicagoan, this is exciting.
I can't believe that Conan ran with comedic legends when he was a mere boy.
That impersonation of Larry David was so good
Ohh thats such a nice video Conan. I loving it so much just to watching you and talking about the good old times. Its almost feels like butterflys.
So fun to see my old stomping grounds... I went to Lane Tech and that was in the neighborhood... Go Conan!
Gordon here.
4:40 lol Chicago one hell of a town we know how to chill here!
They filmed the moon landing in that apartment.
Watching Conan riff and just go off is a sight to behold
1988 WAS a really hot Summer in Chicago that year. We boiled.
I was gonna make a comment on how Conan's age is starting to show, little did I know this clip is well over a decade old. He looks better now!
me too . 1988 is 32 years ago now. Ouch
Conans still got that leather jacket to this day. It better be put in the Smithsonian when he retires, cause we all know that vampire can’t die.
I have to say my top Bob Odenkirk moment was his argument with Ruxin in The League.
The cup’s physicians daughter cracked me
They didn't show the windowless room that Jeff had Conan sleep in during one of the hottest summers in Chicago history. Also Jeff said that almost every night they would do a fake talk show in the living room where Conan was the host and he was the guest.
Just realizing that when this was filmed, it had only been 17 years since 1988... and now this episode itself is 15 years old!
I was born in 88
The building was torn down a couple of years after the original film date of this segment.
Don't make me sad man
I honestly can't tell which stories were real and which was improv😂
I saw the "Happy, Happy, Good Show" in that year and I remember Conan appearing in a diaper as the Kennedy baby just saying "deep, deep, ..." which was the whole sketch. If I am not mistaken, the Super Fans sketch was invented out of that show.
Conan, you've grown so much since 1988!🤣
I worked at millenium park as a union carpenter and installed over 250 steel doors and every piece of hardware in the park.
Oh man, that kitchen is iconic. That's where Jesus, the OG Jägermeister dispenser, had his last supper.
I could totally hang with Conan. Lmao, he is so like my family. Lol My husband, kids and I are complete goofballs like this.
Sounds like a fun family! Feel like Conan has been around for all parts of my life! He's the best!
@@thomasrainbow yes we have lots of fun. Lots of laughs. I watched Conan when he first came on late night. Huge fan!
Jeff lost some weight, good for him.
@Austin Frisch oh damn...
Austin Frisch he has in the new curb season
Yeah he’s thinner now, he looks great
@AustinZone lmao good to see you here
LMAO THE SKA BRASS AT THE END
I think it would have been a lot funnier if Garlin and Conan had told actual stories from when they lived there
About not getting laid.
You know that dude throws a lot of baseball parties. Such is life in Wrigleyville.
There's a stash of Confederate rifles under the floor boards in the living room.
That guy actually took a shot before work with Conan
Conan is the best
Gotta love Chi town
A Jagermeister machine... they hit the jackpot...
Had Jagermeister once.... notice I said once. Don’t remember what happened that day but I remember the old Jager was responsible!

Jaeger is awesome
Booze for novices like college kids.
dick castle jager sucks you might as well drink cough syrup I’ll stick to whiskey
The awesome Chicago Theater!
Old Landlord looks like Conan's old grandpa
Not to be confused with his new grandpa
@@bubba3376 Conan is building grandpa army secretly
I have a distant cousin that I'm pretty sure lived in that apartment. All Sox fans to this day loooved him; Baseball Commissioner Kenesaw Mountain Landis.
That's a name loathed by generations of Sox fans. Lol
Especially Black Sox fans :>
@@DFDuck55 well played. Most of the 8 earned that lifetime ban. Weaver and Jackson deserve to have it lifted. Too bad the ol judge never went after the 1918 Cubs for throwing that series as well.
The ending was awesome
I would have taken that quick glass in a heartbeat too! Omg!
I was there on May 10th, 2006 at the Chicago Theater for an episode of Conan's show, the day before this episode aired.
Holy crap my sister lives right across the alley there.
Such nice and friendly people in Chicago.. I want to move there!
No...you dont. I live in chicago and it sucks.
TestTubeBabySpy I live on the south side and I still like Chicago lol cmon it is not that bad
@@Dirkdersoldat Yeah because you feel that chicago obligation to defend it till the end. believe me, I understand. I bet you will tell me you like your pizza cut into square slices too🤣
TestTubeBabySpy honestly yeah I do. Tavern style baby you can’t beat it
Loves this I was at Wrigley last week.
Imagine having a machine the size of a microwave on your counter just to make one kind of alcohol cold. If only we had some sort of large box that was always ice cold where we could store any type of beverage.
The tap is essential.
He's only 24, he's led a hard life.
@Jeff B lol you just don't know Wrigleyville. Its literally.where the van wilders of the big10 move to and try to relive their frat days for one more decade. Peter pan syndrome in full effect.
I live not too far away. This was filmed 14 years ago, but it hasn't changed very much.
Totally. He needs a kegerator and a wine fridge too tho.
It doesn't "make" anything. It literally just makes it cold and a little easier to dispense.
Conan carefully cultivating his hair comedy since youth. lol
Get Jeff on the podcast!
Now it's 32 years later....
Awesome segment
The part where they are lying to the landlord lol
One quick glass lmao
His face after that bob odenkirk skit
Those orange walls are something else
