@@arabchristraegerit’s very smart, it’s how he was able to retain access to the Team CoCo youtube, even after the TBS show ended, and he was able to migrate that RUclips into the hoster of his new podcast
To this day I’m still pissed about what happened to Conan with NBC. He’s the legit funniest host in late night history, in my opinion. Jimmy Fallon is an unfunny clown. I hope Conan knows he has fans who still love and miss him on TV.
Take a page from Conan's book and let it go. Conan is friendly with Jay and Jimmy, just not the executives and board members and accountants and marketing staff and so forth. As Conan said in this interview and others, "it was business."
@@fml5910 Ferguson didn't want it. He'd already been doing late night for a decade and was burned out on it. Plus putting him into any earlier time slot he'd have to tone it down, no cursing, no robot sidekick, actually doing interviews where they talk about the movies instead of just chilling, etc. and would have been miserable.
Love Conan O’Brien’s stuff and totally get what he’s saying here, but I bet there are times where he thinks about what NBC did to Letterman and says “Yep, I should have known”
Interesting point because I've seen so many people online brush off the Conan tonight show situation because NBC gave Conan 40 million after kicking him out, bit it's obvious Conan wanted the Tonight show for more than just the money and the fame.
What an intelligent and humble explanation he just gave. I don't follow show business at all, but I understand where he's coming from based on that explanation.
I never had the impression that Conan wears even the tiniest smidge of a grudge on his sleeve, it was and is always some of his colleagues and most of his fans. He is a man of principles, not grudges. And a funny motherfucker!
I mean forget about the late shows and The Tonight Show and just look at Conan's "remotes". That on its own deserves multiple awards. For example when he went to Palestine, which is apropos. Or in Italy with Jordan 😁🤣😂🤣😂
Regardless Conan was the host of the Tonight Show even for a short period of time but that is an extremely rare title to hold and one he gets to hold for life
Conan is truly a great person. He proved it when he paid his staff out of his own pocket. Not to mention his documentary is probably one of my favorites lol
Definitely a repost, but great foreshadowing to the upcoming "Conan O'Brien Must Go". Also, if you haven't, his podcast is a fine-tuned engine of audible joy.
Conan could've had a show with an earlier start time, been paid way more than *NBC* was offering him, and he would've gotten it years earlier than "The Tonight Show." Plus this: Jay and his staff could've kept doing what they were so successful with at *NBC.* Conan saying yes to the network's weird 5 year plan is what set that entire debacle in motion and it was a tragic mistake for all concerned.
In this world its almost always the case that the less talented are more famous, hence why Fallon has the tonight show now and not Conan. The best late night host doesnt have a show anymore, theres your indicative of why hes the most naturally talented and funny. Meanwhile I'll keep watching his podcast or any content he puts out

Conan’s the best 👩🦰
Ah, that's why I love Conan... so mature, so intelligent, so articulate, so measured. He is a true role model.
Well said. Harvard grad from the 80s, when that meant something. Smart, funny, aware.
i dont understand it especially since he is 100% irish, to put it nicely.
best tv personality ever@@thecajunvacationer3064
Is there a false role model ?
That Conan was able to get access to all his NBC footage and post those,
is probably the best use of his 'cards' he's ever played.
Holy shit I had no idea about this! Makes me even happier for him.

Conan is one of the best people to have in the public eye. If he works for you then you are fortunate indeed. A great human and a giver of his soul.
how many times have you met?
“Giver of his soul” what 😭😭😭
@@cantbackdown123 I think bro just wanted to say passionate but didn't find the word
A lot of celebs should take a note from him.
celebs and actors aren't the same thing despite what conservatives want you to think.
and athletes
Conan's legacy is unmatched. Writer in The Simpsons, getting a Lyft w/ Cube & Kevin Hart, and all his mayhem with Sona & Jordan.
He did some other stuff too 😌
his remotes will forever be UNMATCHED.
no he didn't
Do his legacy is the best in the world?
If Conan was given the tonight show, I might actually watch it still. I haven't turned on that show one time in the past 10 years.
He had it for two years then they canned him and put Leno back on
@christiancrocetti9940 he wasn't really given it, he was teased with it.
This was such a great interview. I remember Howard saying it was his favorite interview ever
Conan!!! How can you not love this guy?
Always love Conan.

1000000%, given Letterman was Conan's mentor and hero. He has to have known, deep down, it was at least a possibility.
He probably thought: "Nah, there's no way that they'd let this happen a secret time!"
Conan really is the greatest Stern show guest ever.
Conan isn’t even one of the top 100 Howard Stern Show guests of all time

If i ever meet Conan that would be ultimate fortune for me...
I don't give a shite about other celebrities
Conan O'brien is a beautiful human being, simple as that.
I love the fact that so many people out there love Conan, and I too feature in that long long list 😄
Conan is one of the most beloved celebrities in the world

Conan has always been my favorite. He got screwed. I still watch anything i see his name on

still is
Conan, Ferguson, Letterman and Carson all offered something interesting. They brought something new to the table. Everyone else is cannon fodder imo.

He's the hero we need

💯
Christ, does Howard ever let his guests finish? Talk about in love with the sound of his own voice
It's part of the reason why guests give up a lot of information because they don't have a moment to think
Since it's a radio show, you can't have one second of dead air
It’s a Fallon thing
@@luf4rallso sitting their listening to Howard gives them no time to think? Sounds bass akwards.
@@WatchingSomeRUclipsVideosit’s not dead air. he talks over the top of people even while they are saying something interesting
Howard, talk less. Let the guest answer.
What an intelligent and humble explanation he just gave. I don't follow show business at all, but I understand where he's coming from based on that explanation.
howard loves the sound of his voice
I have so much respect for Conan,
Conan is the best talk show host ever and a phenomenal human being.
Moral of the story. If you get a better offer you probably have to take that.
Very informative. Thanks for the upload. Really loved the way you presented your facts and opinion.
It's kind of surreal that NBC had done something similar to David Letterman in the early '90s and it was also on behalf of Jay Leno.
I never had the impression that Conan wears even the tiniest smidge of a grudge on his sleeve, it was and is always some of his colleagues and most of his fans. He is a man of principles, not grudges. And a funny motherfucker!
Love Conan. Love his podcast.
No worries about Conan’s legacy..it’s intact and amazing!! ❤️🇨🇦🤩
And STILL going strong.
Conan is worth over $200 million. He did just fine.

I Iove Conan. Such a great interview by Howard.
Plus Fox cancels shows at for the most bizarre reasons, so there’s a good chance he wouldn’t have lasted long there.
Much love to all of you!! Howard and Robyn 🫶🏻💯❤️❤️ Longtime listener. Conan is great too. Success and blessings from Barcelona - Spain 🇪🇸

Im not a huge howard stern fam but these past couple days ive been watching him with conan, Letterman amd norm MacDonald
He was way to restricted at the tonight show , his tbs show is the best late show ever

I needed that today....#inspiring
Hes funnier than Jay and Dave. Idgaf, I'm blessed to watch his comedy and perspective. He's set, and I'm happy to have been able to watch him.
It's only exists three kings: Conan The Barbarian, Conan The Destroyer and Conan The Coco

Conan is a national treasure
Conan is pure class
It was Leno's decision when to leave the tonight show. He has surely earned it. Can you imagine Leno rushing Carson out the door?
I can because he did. Well....more specifically Helen Kushnick did.
Leno didn’t own the show thus he really didn’t have a say in when he should’ve left. Carson and Letterman owned their shows, they decided when they were done.
Conan was the best. Certainly better than Leno or Fallon.
Gd Conan is a treasure. So real
Conan is amazing! Love him
What's with the positioning of Howard's camera?
Conan a better host then Jay and Jimmy now on the tonight show
If there is one person in entertainment that I wouldn’t mind complaining, it’s Conan.
Always thought 28millon was 28million
Not 28million -35% of taxes
0:32 is it just me or could they have gotten Robin a better monitor lmao
In my opinion, Conan is still better than a couple or three current late-night show hosts.
the best to ever do it is an understatement
the just dont complain thing needs to be understood by a lot of people
Total sidenote, but does the camera shot of Howard give anyone else strong Wilson from Home Improvement vibes?
everyone in this clip is great.
Fox is not known for late shows, it probably wouldn't have worked out though I believe Conan would have made a good push at it.
The GOAT
Conan is cut from a different cloth. Much love.
Conan is too genuine for show business.
Robin has a charm, sense of humor, smarts, and in her younger days attractive. I see why
Conan ‼️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
A better running joke would have been if Conan slowly pulled out a toy gun every time a guest asked about it.
Conan is the man
Conan is the GOAT of late night. Letterman is #2, and I love Letterman.
What was the original air date?
We love you Conan!
Conan is such an amazing entertainer.
integrity over Ca$h thank You for Your integrity the hardest part of integrity is the grity you go threw to keep your own integrity...
I have all the shows recorded.... Conans last late night, his first and last tonight show..... Very sad n aggro yet epic real drama
Got to love that Conan!
You inherit the Tonight Show, he would've been constrained, he had much more creative freedom on TBS
