At this point in time, Jordan Schlansky was being assembled in the lab
Republika Dugave underrated comment 😂
Bruhh 💀💀
An Italian crew assembled him..
☺😁😄!!
Or at the depths of Mount Doom
2036: This dude better be good as Conan O Brien.
No chance whoever is next is goin to suck
Danni Edwards compared to him everyone sucks but time will tell(it won’t tell shit conan is the best)
Why 2036?
Zna Sve ...Seriously?
@@HELPMEREACHSUBSCRIBERS-uh2np yeah?
You can tell because of his nervousness he holds back from continuing the joke, so proud of how far he has come and so quickly
so quickly? its been 30 years
Later Conan has him doing like three additional quips after the original bit. Much more confident.
I can see his hand was shaking. WOW.
@@iiRoot_ ain't no way you think he just now made it 😂
I never noticed back then how nervous he was
That suicide joke in the beginning is hilarious and really sets the tone for him.
It’s hilarious bc that would not fly today 😂
Yep,you stole the comment from me,nor would John Goodman impressinating the Japanese journalist or the nun and the nazi officer crying together at the song,at the end,always funny noticing the stuff that you can't do or say,and there are a lot these days.@@smokeythebear42o
really just an amazing bit that resonates with what comedy is. conan is so relatable because he gets depression and that the root of comedy is turning sadness into something we can smile about.
@@smokeythebear42o Why not? There is a lot of black humor on TV, streaming services etc.
@@bob-zi1eb I know there is, I’m just saying people would throw a fit and try to have him canceled
Proceeds to literally become the best talk show host ever
Conan brought us Norm MacDonald. After he left...show went downhill
He did but he wasn't funny this early on
My buddies and I were about 14 then and definitely knew he was special.
Letterman was awesome.
A lot of pressure Joker!
Damn that suicide joke at the start definitely wouldn’t get aired on tv today

@@lobstersawaityou3908 When he put the noose around his neck at 3:00? Dunno how it's not obvious.
You gonna be ok JP?
And Tom would indirectly be to blame.
@@Ian16545 who's tom
I love how Conan didn’t change, he just got better
All he needed was some confidence and to really get a theme going for what he wanted
He never quite realized he was at his funniest when he wasn’t trying to be funny
@@bigtommy9715 I think he made an audience. I genuinely believe he carved a way for modern humour in Late Night
@@bigtommy9715this is so true. he's hilarious when he is himself
are the headlines real???
I graduated high school because of Conan. I would stay up late and do my homework until he came on. Seriously, it was the only thing that motivated me to do something productive until I earned the right to laugh my ass off.
True story.
I used to be up with Conan on TBS in HS also :):)
That’s hilarious because I had the exact opposite happen to me. I dropped out because I would stay up late to watch Conan and be dead tired in school the next day. Didn’t matter tho because I was one funny MF’er as a result.
That's great 👍
I’m 30 years late, but I’m proud of you. You shared an amazing story
I have the exact same association with Conan. He heralded many all-nighters in the late 90s/early 2000s. I always got an A. Thanks, Conan!
I’m guessing Sona was still floating in a basket in the middle of the atlantic at this point
Alvin Silva Hahhahahahahha
And Schlansky was still being built in a factory.
🤣
and Pierre Bernard was cruising around the southern united states dismembering the bodies of his victims
@@WILLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLU That's dark
So he was 30 here and looked 40, now he's 55 and looks 40.
29...
@@MarcHershey he was 29 so Drew Barrymore was 17 here?
He said drew Barrymore so I'm like "okay so she'll be like 5" then shes like 30 and I'm like "but she's like 30 now wtf"
I don't even know who I am anymore
Holy he’s 55!?
Make up
Drew Barrymore is the best first episode guest you could have, easiest and kindest person to interview
same with Goodman. They chose guests in the beginning perfectly
They were also his friends
Lol okay 🙄
HO LEE SMOKES... I forgot how hot she was back then. YEEOWW!
Drew Barrymore be thy name!
I love how supportive the guests are. They are basically carrying him through it as best they can
I thought that too. Something incredibly endearing about that.
Because he was very good looking and had a great smile
@@bluffiblaffiI thought he looked good and that was a part of the reason but not totally, he’s just funny and they’re giving him a chance
His palms were sweaty, knees weak, arms were heavy; nervous, but on the surface he looked calm and ready.
What's that on his head? Mum's spaghetti
Very nervous laugh
But he keeps on forgetting
Yeah, I know. He opens his mouth but the words won't come out.
Dad's ravioli
You can tell Conan is nervous cause of that joker giggle he's keep letting out
jambalaya jones yeah lol
zivex ITS NOT FUNNY
NizKer nice toxicity 👍
So cute ahahaha, never here that these days
*haha*
Andy is the best person Conan could’ve gotten as sidekick. He’s hilarious.
Recent podcast proves that. Conan talks about a tooth procedure he had and the pain medication was a tiny soaked cotton ball that needed to be dropped into this tiny hole in his tooth and Andy Richter said he'd do it and proceeded to do it with the precision of a surgeon every time.
I disagree Andy is a boat anchor
andy was pretty much completely pointless from beginning to end. nice guy but dead weight on the show. dude above says "recent podcast proves that" -- hey have you missed andy for even one second on the podcast? no of course not
@@ME-zp9coI mean that's your opinion and all but you obviously didn't watch the show then there was a lot of times where Andy saved the set
@@SharinganManI watch the show every night from the first episode to the last episode and there was a lot of times where Andy saved the interview and the show the fact that he roasted Chelsea Handler is enough
From this to the longest-running late-night TV host and one of the most beloved comedians to this day. I actually never heard a single bad thing about this wonderful man. Letterman is inappropriate, Leno is a devil, Fallon is fake, Corden is an egoistical diva, Kimmel is not funny - but Conan stays STRONG. Let's go team Coco
Well put!
Not quite carson though
Everyone always leaves off Craig Ferguson and that makes me sad.
THe only other host worth a damn in my limited opinion would be Graham Norton
Agree 100 with @bergen
If you look at his hands, at times, they were shaking. How far he’s come.
DeeDo Yep. Who knew he’d one day be sitting in a Korean spa with Steven Yeun and some other gentlemen completely naked
DeeDo time stamp
@@Ron-ys7gs 7:17 and 7:48 are very noticeable
no way, he was for years in the industry before he started this....
@@sakitotalks stupid. That was nothing. He's not nervous at all. Now if you watch Jimmy Fallons first show, his nervousness was damn obvious
bruh they deadass posted the whole episode.
this is why Conan is the best talk show host
His audition is on RUclips and the TBS website, it is a 1 min clip of him interviewing jason alexander and someone else on the tonight show set.
i believe Conan has the rights to all his Late Night footage and all his Conan footage... theres some deal about the Tonight Show stuff
yea they didn't take out the hang part too
And all the work he did to keep all the jobs of his staff when NBC did him wrong.
oh jesus they did
Man John Goodman deserves props for being so funny in this too. A good first guest for Conan to play off of.
Crazy he was still on Roseanne when this aired. He was so good in that.
@@r.p.4432Yeah I know
Andy really was important right from the beginning, he seems to calm Conan down a bit, and he’s got his funny quirks right from episode one! 👏🔥
@@xshxr Doesn't negate that Andy was really important right from the beginning. Dumb comment.
Andy is his emotional support animal
@@xshxr I think it's ridiculous to assume that because Andy wasn't there during the most successful years, that meant he wasn't that important. While I won't say that Conan's whole career is owed to Andy (which is also a ridiculous statement), Andy did play a major role in setting up the show for success that it would later achieve (whether you want to believe it or not is up to you).
27 years later - Conan hasn’t aged a day and there still is not peace in the Middle East.
Yes!...what happened in the middle east 9-93 that caused that?
No peace in the middle east what you on about. Where did that come from?
Well of course if your beloved zionist governments that you support keeps on falsity flagging attacks and using that kill and rape millions like they've been doing on a daily basis...how can there be peace. Mr. Zionist explain youself! Pfff weapons o mass destruction, pff using ways to steal oil. Oh it's completely legal just to show up at a country and kill and rape and burn houses and piss on dead bodies and then steal the oil and natural gas. Explain yourself zionman!
Mark Foster Gulf war
The joke landed well because earlier that day... Yitzhak Rabin and Yasir Arafat shook hands at the White House. I was eleven at the time, and I still remember the news reports about it. www.history.com/topics/us-presidents/clinton-brokers-israeli-plo-peace-accords-video
conan used to scare the heck out of me always wondered if a guy that average can be on TV . . .
somehow his hair got redder and his skin got whiter over the years...
THE SINGING CARTOONIST it’s the camera
Well the real questions is why is he still white
I mean... it’s obvious that he has been dying his hair since at least '04 or '05
Micaela de Pina nah it’s just the ginger genes kicking in

Agree. She really helped him out

She seemed really nervous too.
It's insane how nervous he was, and how far he's
come. He's a natural.
Conan is the nerd who is making all the nerds laugh at the nerd table. Jimmy Fallon is the nerd who is trying to hard to make the jocks laugh (and like him) at the cool kids table.
Chepe Pancho That’s quite the analysis! I’m impressed.
Wow great insight. I agree.
@@josephconner2586 if you were nicer
Jimmy Kimmel is the schizo kid who makes himself laugh.
Exactly.
His laugh is so high pitch and he's so nervous omg
Coke
Pepadew not coke
@pyropulse I don't think so. The laugh sounds genuine to me. A lot of people go through this at the beginning of their career in front of a camera or behind a mic. They'll usually have a nervous tic or six and they have to train themselves out of it.
@pyropulse he was terrified being a huge fan of Letterman. He said on his podcast that if it wasn't for his friend, Lisa Kudrow, he would have never done it.
It used to be like that, that isn't him being nervous. Watch a lot of his older clips.
Mr. O'Brien has some potential. Hopefully he will succeed.
Um, this is from 30 years ago. He went on to have a hugely successful career and he is still in the spotlight today. Where have you been????
@@bansheeofinisheerin No, this was just yesterday. Dafuq you talkin about? 😂
@@bansheeofinisheerin whooooosh
If I know you, Conan O'Brien, miserable failure is not an option
@@johnd3124 Lol! Someone so poor at getting a joke watches Conan. Go figure!
As I rapidly near my 40s, I want to share an impact Conan O'Brien had on my life and my mental health. I was born from first-generation immigrant parents. My parents struggled to make ends meet, gain proper citizenship, follow the letter of the law to a tee, and of course fight to put me through the 'best' public schooling taxes could buy, in a privileged, somewhat gated community. Back when I was in high-school, my humanities teacher made some reference to Conan O'Brien during her lesson. Being a somewhat novice to late night American television culture (and let me remind you kids, this was in the days before smartphones and Google even existed), back then I innocently raised my hand and asked who Conan O'Brien was. My teacher gave me one cynical look, and immediately ordered the student sitting behind me to smack me on the back of the head with their notebook. Next thing I know, I felt the back of my head make swift, stinging contact with the student's aluminum spiral binded 100 page notebook, while I felt all the heavily disapproving stares and comments from all the rest of the 22 or so students in my class who likely assumed I was culturally inept to belong in their country, let alone community. In hindsight it sounds ridiculous now but, back then I really believed I had committed a grave sin worthy of discipline low-key reminiscent to a teacher in a dictatorship disciplining me for not immediately acknowledging or respecting a reference to the current leader.
All this to say, after watching this video, it finally dawned on me why my teacher acted in the manner she did that day. I had simply not recognized a such a great Late Night Talk Show legend in the making; Conan O'Brien, my sincerest apologies to you 🙇♂️🙏 may you live a long and healthy blessed life.❤
This is a wildly underrated comment
Something tells me that he might have been under a lot of pressure...
Don't worry, the cocaine helped.
He has big shoes to fill.
S o u are a detective a tham good detective
What gives you that idea

Tony Randall, "You must stick by your conciounce... artistic conciounce, such as it is... and do what amuses you...
You're sticking by your guns. You're doing what you believe in, and you're bound to succeed."
Some of THE best advice, EVER! Thank you, Mr Randall!
His joke about starting on TV then only clawing into the club - he achieved that in a way by pedalling back into podcasting.
Then the same thing, on getting the same guests - he got it now with Sona, Matt his crew and longform interviews! 😂 what a transformation ❤
I watch this video annually just to remind myself how much ive grown with him.
HAHHAH This is what I've been saying 😂
Didnt realize how tall he was. He was literally taller than everyone he walked by

istand straight Technically the black guy at 2:22 was taller but Coco's hair made him taller he's 6'4 but But 6'6 with the hair

@@wrongaboutyou9725I hope it is. That would be awesome.
@RarePupper Dont worry cuz. I get it!😂😂
I remember watching this show after weeks and weeks of hype and seeing a very nervous but very funny host, and thinking he might be OK. The second night he came out, paused then said "Nobody told me I'd have to do this again". Brought down the house. And at that point I KNEW he'd be just fine.
I still remember my dad saying Conan was awful and was so awkward on camera. From then on I watched just to root for Conan as the underdog.

It was a dream team. At first they had trouble getting John Goodman to appear, but when Loren offered to bestow the medal on him, he agreed.
@@charlie-obrien you must be lying, conan and him were great friends and even live together, i don t see in what world goodman would refuse
Everyone was such a good sport for this. And it's honestly a really ridiculously funny episode.

It's weirdly comforting to see someone who's such a hero to me, who I idolize as much as Conan O'Brien being so incredibly nervous for his first show. His hands shaking so much, all of his nervous ticks, it's just so human.
The laughter is painful sometimes lol. Not good for a host to have nervous laughter, it's their show XD
Where's his hands shaking

Probably nervous about getting to sit right next to Drew Barrymore for the first time ever.
@@briancannon3987 shaking so hard his freckles were falling off.
30 years later and he’s an icon. Man really did it despite the peoples judgement.
Tony Randall was the real MVP. He put Conan at ease very fast. That segment almost look like his latest TV interviews. And he was right: it has a lot of potential if he stick to his guns!
Little did he know a special little Italian espresso loving stud would come into his life at some point

Drew Barrymore is my crush too!
Vytautas think he’s just on too much cocaine😂
Amazing to see how nervous and anxious he was for the first episode and how comfortable and confident he became. Seasoned comic genius.
I LOVED the bit when Tony Randall gave a sincere compliment to Conan, then jabbed him with "Not so great an honor as to be the first guest." and the whole group was part of the joke. They even made such a big deal out of Goodman being the first guest! Layers!
Little did they know, 25 years laters Andy would still be there
You mean the Swedish-German who was raped by a gold miner?
Sick maths
andy did leave for a short bit, he had a sitcom that didn't pan out.
Legend has it Andy lives in Conan's dressing room...
andy leaves in the year 2000s 😂
Conan and Andy look like two kids who have worn their dads suits and created an imaginary show in their bedroom
😂😂😂
I’m screaming laughing at the accuracy of this.
Amazing
What if it was.. to escape their real life of longtime Abuse of alcoholic parents..and when it ended, Conan snapped out into reality and realized the amount of time it took to let go of the trauma.. so many years he wasted into a dream he so much wanted to be true,yet nothing was ever accomplished….
Went from a complete unknown to the GOAT of late night.
Props to Lorne Michaels for believing in Conan and giving him the opportunity.
I sat around through the credits and noticed Bob Odenkirk there. Had no idea he was a writer for 2 years on the show.
Poor guy, 26 years later and he still hasn’t made it to high school

maybe some years later, he will enter high school... hopefully...
Ha?
At least he still has a show. Even if Jay did what he does best
@@tomchubby8216 Maybe we did and you didn't get the joke
They should play this back to him and get his reaction.
That wouldn't be possable with the suicide joke
I think he uploaded this video himself.
forbidden pollo where?
1:35, same shirt, just slightly different patterns. Such a '90s fashion.
He watches it everytime he feels he's getting too cocky.
I’m here after the podcast where Conan talked about his 30th Anniversary
This segment is 30 years ago and we all know Conan cemented himself as a true legend and master… but for some reasons I still feel nervous for him when watching this 😂😂
I didn't know Tony Randall, but what a great guest he was ❤ and he honestly told him "you're bound to succeed. I know it" and he wasn't wrong
The brilliant Tony Randall, who then came on at the end and did his shictk with the song.
He would appear on Late Night with Conan many times over the years. One of my favorites.
Conan is one of the only late night shows that I actually like
I sleep under bridges most are just trash but Conan is legitimately funny
You just never watched The Eric Andre Show - Conrad

I have a feeling for a first episode they would have been extras who were told behave this way. It was over the top.
Ol

Actually in these talk shows, the audience are hand picked people who sign a contract. When they're sat, theres a light above them that lights up when they need to laugh.
@@stylesy2025 Conan doesn't have that. Coming from someone who's dad has been to his shows a dozen times.
It's incredible how the intro perfectly exemplifies the style and tone that Conan and his team have continued to this day through multiple shows and formats. Great example of how to grow, evolve, and handle change without losing your identity and style. 👌
7:49 Damn his hands were shaking so much! This guy would go on to be the greatest talkshow host of all time
1993: He seems confident and funny. He will do great.

i cant see that
Nah I don’t think this dudes gonna go anywhere I mean u see his hair!
TheDarkMelancholy its perfect
I always found it really funny that the critics of this show complained about Conan O'Brien being nervous in this episode - did they really expect him to just casually walk in and be totally in control during his very first "Late Night" episode, when he by the way was also expected to immediately be as good as David Letterman? NOBODY is NOT nervous in that kind of situation.
I guess they never saw Dave's first TV appearance.
John Goodman is a class act, such a great job carrying the interview.

He's alive 😂😁
My son was born 10 days before this first show. I watched the fist show after rocking him in my arms and finally getting him to sleep. Watching this again breaks my heart as life went flying by.
Awww 💙💙 that is a very sweet story

Your son and I are just about the same age then!
he was soooo nervous 😂😂the hand shaking at 7:50.
Funny that he eventually landed his signature move “invisible strings pulling up pants”
I love the fact that Andy Richter is still by his side, some almost 30 years later.
Andy wasn't by his side for 9 years, but he came home.

His style is unique, no wonder he had a little bit of rough start. But still glad he kept going
What do u mean rough start??
From what I have seen Dave showed up to his show because he was doing bad mainly because people were being to negative. So Dave showed up because he saw he had talent and calm everyone down and that's how he cleared the path for Conan to keep going and get better

That high pitched nervous laugh...😂

I can't stop laughing because of that. Today he goes through horrible awkward situations without blinking an eye, hard to imagine that he was ever that nervous like on his first show.
Since then he perfected (good) showbiz laugh!
exactly;)
😂😂😂facts
I love that he actually followed what Tony Randall said regarding doing what would amuse him
after watching the episode of Conan's podcast recalling all details of how he landed this job, this is so much better!
Just did same, adds so much depth knowing some of the behind the scenes drama 😂
And now I’m crying, me and my mom watched this show from the first episode till now and even after I moved out and started a family of my own we would talk the next day about the episode the night before. My mother died at 60 years old last month and it’s been something that I miss terribly. The song that he sings at the end is one my mom sang to me as a baby and always sang in the house. She also sang it her grandchildren every time she was around. I miss her terribly and will be watching the archives next year thinking about her every day. Thank you to anyone who read my emotional rant.
So sorry about your mother man I’m sure she’s at peace. The emotional connection you have to Conan is beautiful though. I don’t know what I’m gonna do when my ma goes
Thank you for sharing your story, having a shared experience with a loved one is a truly magical thing. My equivalent would be a Irish/British sitcom called Father Ted whose titular character died tragically young of sudden illness much like my father with whom I watched and treasured the show and others written by the show's creator Graham Linehan.
Conan is truly the only Late night show I can stand these days.
Oh my God, come on dude I know it's hard but try to remember that what you have right here is a wonderful memory,I've lost people that I refused to talk to and all I got now is regret, fell happy and think about the good memories because if you do she will always live with you
Those are golden memories. My dad and I used to watch Saturday night live an Carson when everyone was asleep and he'd come home from work late. I miss him like crazy. Emotional is ok. 👊
👏👏👏👏
The best part about this was Conan flat out acknowledging the elephant in the room, knowing the pressure of being an unknown taking over for Dave.
It's very clever
That noose bit had me literally laughing out loud.
The show promos were focusing on that point. There wasn't any way he wouldn't address the situation and joke about it.
For Tony Randall to give him a piece of advice Conan has clearly stuck by since that day.....,just awesome. I remember watching this when it first aired and I've been a fan since. Conan is one of the few people in this world I know I would have trouble not crying if I met him. Saved my life. Thanks again Conan.
Remember watching this show....man, I can't believe it's been 30 years already! Thanks for literally thousands of laughs, Conan!
I was born on this same day , Sept 13th 1993 . I bumped into Conan last year hiking in the hills and I told him lol he’s like wow you’re a walking human representation of my years in show business . He’s my absolute fav. He’s was really sweet .
Why did you tell him? You did not know his first show was on your birthday until now... people be chattin
Me too. Me too. I never knew about it. He's my favourite host. He's a natural comedian.
What if she knew his first show date prior to this video, buddy? Why assume she didn't know his first show date till now, especially if it's her birthday?
hahahah wow what a sweet guy!
Actually I’ve been watching him for a couple years now and I started looking up his old videos before he switched to cable . That’s how I found out his first show ever was when I was born . I even showed him my Drivers license . I ain’t all talk guys lol he even did his little growl to me when I told him I loved him more than Johnny Depp lmaoo swoon
This is the most "90iest" thing i seen in my life
But you haven't lived during the 90's
@@SonyEnthusiast nope
@@viscerable then you don't know how it really was like I did
@@SonyEnthusiast well
See ya
@@themayqueen666 I was in elementary school during the 90's. Were you born in 2011?
I was about 5 or 6 when I started watching Coco - I grew up watching this guy, 36 now.
💪🏼😁
Absolutely 90s talk show beginning, but showed his genius from the very start. From the best guests to the all-star team, he was destined to be the greatest of all talk shows. And still the funniest!
This is the most HD non HD video Ive ever seen.
When I see older videos online I think... "TV wasn't that bad!"
This is exactly what it looked like.
Mathias Kanuck it’s just that the transfer of recording to vhs tapes was flawed. This is a master copy from a tv production studio not some guy that recorded an episode with his vcr. Which is what you get with a lot of 80s and 90s videos uploaded to RUclips through a vhs transfer.
@@MrRyan-wu4jx Ahhhhh okay
For us that actually watched TV in the 90s, we didn't care lol
Gé Rosalem It’s not that we didn’t care. We simply accepted the product of its time and didn’t have any idea what HD would look like.
@@GDOLCEVITA of course that's what I meant. It's just funny to see younger kids wondering "how it was like to watch TV in the 90s"
little did he know he would go on to be the funniest late night show host EVER
No funniesg talk show host Jimmy fallon. He plays fortnite
I'll tie him with Arsenio for 3rd. No one is better than Carson and Dave is at 2nd
Believe it or not , I just got to know this man and I’m watching for the first time today ! I’m looking for more of it online if anyone has a link , thanks !
Dont forget Craig Ferguson
@@laurent4186 just search for conan o brien....
He's too famous to be sharing links...;)
The high punch of reality was when he said "the next Flintstones movie", man, i was 12 years old in 1993 and i was hyped for that movie, i feel so old.
It was all there, right from the start. Amazing. Tony Randall just killing it.
I remember this when it first aired. I had just gotten a divorce and was absolutely miserable. I laughed so hard and fell in love with Conan and Andy. Been watching them ever since.
Nice
Awww ! 🤍
Yup, it's during our hard times that we really appreciate lighthearted entertainment the most. Not to get all platitude-ish, but I've found that to be true.
awww❤
that's truly heartwarming
