    Conan is such a genius that he can completely hide his actual serious side and become a complete baboon for the sake of his art. What an inspiration.

    It's really cool to see that Conan, if he *really* wanted to stop making comedy, could easily do a chilled monthly interview show and people would probably like it. Only a few funny guys can pull of the serious thing.

  • @johnifity
    @johnifity 9 лет назад +44

    I don't care is this gets dismally viewed compared to two minute clips of Conan joking about some Hollywood bombshell's chest but this is the other side of Conan I really respect and enjoy. He's a smart ass, but he's a smart ass from Harvard...

      He is just so good at this style of show it makes me think he could have done this completely independent of his comedian career and been successful at it. For some people he comes off as too smart to be really funny. Kind of like if Einstein was a comedian or something.

    • @manjunaths6866
      @manjunaths6866 4 года назад

      He is smart no doubt, but he's been successful in entertaining people with his comedy. Also, comedy is subjective anyway. Some people might have enjoyed Einstein's comedy too, too bad we'll never know how good his routine would've been.

    I remember listening to Nixon reading the audio version of his book "In The Arena". I wasn't expecting much going in, but by the end I felt kind of bad for the guy.
    I believe he had the great misfortune of being a well meaning, sincere guy who through the circumstances of his years in politics and his many personality flaws, wound up making a lot of bad decisions that ended up corrupting him.
    I think history will ultimately look back on Richard Nixon as a highly misunderstood, deeply flawed man. To me that's much different than a bad person.
