I definitely recommend watching more of his sit-down interviews, he's always been a fantastic interviewee...anytime he's in some sort of workshop situation (Inside the Actor's Studio, Oxford Union, etc) he's so generous and down to earth, and just a wealth of knowledge and experience...his storytelling ability is second to none (even while continuing to be the funniest person alive)
I guess I can't say he's wrong, since the topic is Conan's favorite guests, and he's free to pick whoever he wants. But as a viewer, the only correct response is: (1) Norm MacDonald; (2) Bill Burr.
Of all Conan's clips on RUclips, the ones I re-watch the most aren't the interviews. They're his 'remote' clips where he catches his staff eating cake, or conducts performance reviews. That's where Conan made himself different from other hosts
Hader, Burr, Nealon, Norm, Goldblum, Brand and Short are at the top for me, with special mention to Olyphant, Gervais and Ferrell. And for the ladies Aubrey Plaza and Nikki Glaser were always great.
We all know Norm, sure. And others. Conan was answering from the perspective of what makes for a great guest in terms of their kindness and grace while naming super duper stars.
There are classic moments with Norm MacDonald on Conan's show that remind me of Don Rickles on the Tonight Show with Johnny Carson, I would say both that Norm was Conan's funniest guest and that Conan was Norm's best host.
My favorite Conan guests were Corbin Bernsen, Steven Wright and Paul Rudd (mainly because he always showed up with the same ridiculous clip). Obviously everyone will say Norm. He was a true gem. As was Burr in the later years.
He loves Norm very much and that's a known fact. That he didn't mention him doesn't alter anything about Norm's place in his heart or favorite guest line-up.
He's not really talking about laughs. Hanks and Springsteen are the epitome of class in the entertainment industry. Obviously Hanks can be very funny too, but he is not a comic.
My favorite guests are Norm, Kevin Nealon and Burr, and as a non-regular guest, I really liked his Simon Helberg interview, I think my top pick is Kevin
After watching Norm on The Daily Show promoting Sports Show with Norm Macdonald, I looked him up on youtube. First two videos were of him on Conan and Letterman. I immediately started watching their late night shows
The lightning in a bottle he has captured with Norm is one of the most iconic things in talk show history and Conan doesn't mention Nrom? I don't understand, Conan is still one of my hero's, just sad Norm was not mentioned.
Don't worry he's mentioned him many many times before: ruclips.net/video/vMLaL5pMbcg/видео.html I'd be sad watching this as well if I hadn't seen the rest
Norm, Burr and Olyphant. Are my Top 3.
Yup. I would say Norm was also Letterman’s best guest.
i would add jeff goldblum and bill hader
Great choices. I would probably add Martin Short and Paul Rudd as well.
Paul Rudd, Norm, and Bill Hader
I was thinking Norm for sure
Crazy to see Conan so genuine for this length of time. He's always doing bits everywhere else. Howard gets him on a different level.

He has these moments sparingly on his podcast lol but yes 10x as many jokes on there too. Lhe’s great to listen to either way
And this is the real Conan.
He’s always pretty genuine on his podcast, or as a guest on podcasts
Yea can tell he respect Conan
Conan is such a smart effective communicator.
Agreed. Very Articulate.
He went to Harvard
Harvard does that
emotional intelligence
He did major in communications I believe, haha

I love Conan he is the best late night host ever period
Everyone else past and present can't hold a candle to Conan
Facts
Agreed
Hands down.
@@party4keeps28 Conan was simply more funny than anyone else by 100 miles
This is such great insight. Some folks don't coast on their celeb status, they actually have earned that, and prove it by working hard. That's awesome
I just finished watching your insights on Code Name: Viper. good stuff
Love SNESDRUNK by the way! Happened to see your message here :)
Norm, Harland Williams, and Jeff Goldblum were always my favorite Conan guests.
RIP Norm!
Olyphant and Bill Burr complete that list for me.
He's the best! Truly
I was going to add Bill Burr and Kevin Nealon to that list.
Bill Burr too
Of all Conan's clips on RUclips, the ones I re-watch the most aren't the interviews. They're his 'remote' clips where he catches his staff eating cake, or conducts performance reviews. That's where Conan made himself different from other hosts
Same, I love the Conan staff!
Same !!! Especially the Finland and Armenia remotes
The Foodies remote is in the Conan Hall of Fame imo
Funny that these are still called “remotes.”
Norm was the greatest, hands down. Bowie was special, too.
Norm was nothing short of amazing
Norms interviews with Conan are some of the best in late night history
Perfect description Conan: “ It’s emotional intelligence “. Perfect
Hader, Burr, Nealon, Norm, Goldblum, Brand and Short are at the top for me, with special mention to Olyphant, Gervais and Ferrell. And for the ladies Aubrey Plaza and Nikki Glaser were always great.
how he described tom hanks' success as 'not being an accident' was well put
We all know Norm, sure. And others. Conan was answering from the perspective of what makes for a great guest in terms of their kindness and grace while naming super duper stars.
Such a smart interview. Thank you!
Rebecca Romijn was a great guest. She went along Conan's craziest bits and I keep watching it over and over. It's always funny.
Norm, Ferrell, Hanks are my top three favorite Conan guests
There are classic moments with Norm MacDonald on Conan's show that remind me of Don Rickles on the Tonight Show with Johnny Carson, I would say both that Norm was Conan's funniest guest and that Conan was Norm's best host.
I love Conan especially his late late show where he could really do or say anything!!! The Best
"emotional intelligence" that's a beautiful description
Conan’s just coming up with these now. He has said Norm so many times. The people know what a gift he was on his show.
Norm, Bill Hader, and Martin Short are my 3 favorites :D
Finally someone mentions Martin Short!
@@ryanbender7005 the goat fr
That has to be the longest Howard has ever been silent lmao
Bill Harder was a great one too. Always giggling together.
i love bill harder
I'm anticipating the HBO variety show Conan!
Always bummed when Flula doesn't get a shout-out for Conan. He was consistently one of the most entertaining guests he'd have.
What's a Flula?
Paul Rudd and his Mac & Me clips!!!! 😂
10000%!
My faves were Norm, Kevin Nealon, Bill Hader, and Nikki Glaser.
Norm and Harland Williams always stood out.
I assumed he’d say Martin Short! He’s always prepared with great stories, and he’s always hilarious.
Jeff Goldblum was a recurring and great guest on Conan
Paul Rudd was always entertaining on Conan
Robin Williams, Martin Short, Tom Hanks. If they are ever on a late night show, I'm watching it. RIP, Robin
Mitch Hedberg, Norm Macdonald and Bill Burr are fabulous
That's one tough trio to beat!
Conan is cut from the same cloth as Springsteen and Tom Hanks
Timothy Oliphant is my favorite low-key guest but the Bill Burr appearances take the cake IMO
Norm, Farley, Smigel, Will Arnett, Jeff Goldblum
Norm, Kevin Nealon, bill burr, Will Ferrell, Kevin Hart, Olyphant, Jeff Goldblum.
My favorite Conan guests were Corbin Bernsen, Steven Wright and Paul Rudd (mainly because he always showed up with the same ridiculous clip). Obviously everyone will say Norm. He was a true gem. As was Burr in the later years.
Such a great question! Howard fan since 2000
Norm is without question the number 1 Conan guest of all time. VERY disappointed he didn’t mention him
He loves Norm very much and that's a known fact. That he didn't mention him doesn't alter anything about Norm's place in his heart or favorite guest line-up.
He's not really talking about laughs. Hanks and Springsteen are the epitome of class in the entertainment industry. Obviously Hanks can be very funny too, but he is not a comic.
I think he wanted to mention two people that are huge stars and are down to Earth.
Norm, Kevin Nealon, Martin Short
Bill Hader is always a good choice.
Harrison Ford. Especially the very first interview with the elevator story.
Norm and Aubrey Plaza always stood out for me
I was waiting for him to say Norm Macdonald
Norm, Chapelle, Hader, Goldblum, Lauren Graham, Bill Burr, Craig Bierko, animal "expert" Jarod Miller, Paul Rudd, Marc Maron, etc
Legit thought he'd instantly say Norm.
Norm, Marty Short, Will Ferrell and Goldblum have to top the list!
Id say Bill Burr, Norm, Sandler and the boys, Kevin Nealon, Will Arnett, Will Ferrell and Bill Hader.
My favorite guests are Norm, Kevin Nealon and Burr, and as a non-regular guest, I really liked his Simon Helberg interview, I think my top pick is Kevin
Bill Hader makes for a great show too
What an answer!
Norm knew how to run rings around Conan… 😂
Norm, Bill Burr, Jeff Goldbum, Bill Hader, Aubrey Plaza
After watching Norm on The Daily Show promoting Sports Show with Norm Macdonald, I looked him up on youtube. First two videos were of him on Conan and Letterman. I immediately started watching their late night shows
Tom Hanks, will Farrell, bill Burr, Dave Chappelle, norm macdonald, goats 🐐🐐🐐🐐
Norm was probably the best. Flula was pretty epic on Conan’s tbs show as well
Norm, Martin Short, Goldblum
Conan is one of my friend tv personalities.
Norm, Goldblum, Nealon. Hands down.
The lightning in a bottle he has captured with Norm is one of the most iconic things in talk show history and Conan doesn't mention Nrom? I don't understand, Conan is still one of my hero's, just sad Norm was not mentioned.

@@ritwikr yess haha seen this many of times, i guess im just greedy for Conans compassion for him
Olyphant and Bull are tied #1, close 2nds are Paul Rudd, Martin Short, Bill Hader, Marc Maron
Al Roker, Dave Attell, Mr T, also great Howard guests
Conan’s wit was always on the same level as Bill Hader’s. He was the perfect Conan guest.
Norm, Christopher Walken and Jeff Goldblum.
Norm, Burr and Martin Short were always my fav
Emotional intelligence 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼 well said
Emotional Intelligence. That term hit me. Conan has that
Robin Williams and Norm were 3rd and 4th I’m sure !
Robin Williams 😊
Norm, Olyphant, Hader, Burr, Kevin Nealon and of course Jeff Goldblume
I love Robin Williams on Conan’s Tonight show. My favorite.
Great stuff.
Timothy Olyphant, Paul Rudd, Martin Short, and of course Norm . Is my Conon Mt Rushmore
Norm was the best
Little late here, but Martin Short and Zach Galifianakis are my favs
He and bill hader are always great together too
Everyone loves The Boss!!
Bruce Springsteen was on Fallon ....he was phenomenal ♥️♥️
Love that ❤
The stories about Bruce & Tom Hanks 😭😭😭
Robin Williams takes control of every show he comes on.
Every show.
I can’t believe Norm wasn’t mentioned. He may not have been predictable but he always made a show worth talking about.
Norm, Burr, Olyphant, Glasser, Rudd, Dana Carvey.
Me personally, Norm, and Bill burr
Carson conan and letterman best of all time
Flula Borg is one of Conan's best guest.
Wow The #Boss was a class act ❤️❤️❤️👍👍👍
i would have thought he would have said THE best talk show guest of all time, which we all know is Robin Williams
How about Jim Carry? All his appearances were well thought out and played.
I think Bill Burr made Conan laugh the most.
Harland Williams, Jim Carrey, Chris Farley and Robin Williams were my favorite.
Norm and Olyphant ❤
Thought for sure he'd say Norm
Norm McDonald, Patton Oswald, Kevin Nealon, Bill Burr, and Tom Hanks were the best Conan guests.
Bill Burr, Goldblum, and Olyphant.
Don’t forget about Kevin Nealon!
Hope you didn't forget Norm Macdonald.
Best guest Ever!
Norm, Goldblum, Burr
Bill Burr, Paul Rudd, Timothy Olyphant.
Marty Short kills every time
Martin Shorts, Bill Hader, Kevin Nealon
