    After a rough, tiring day at work, I was in the mood for some light, mindless entertainment. Instead, I accidentally clicked on this video, got drawn into it, and found myself saying, "Man, this is really interesting!" several times. Now I feel enriched instead of mindlessly entertained. I knew that Conan had gone to either Harvard or Yale (forgot which)--and here it really shows. And speaking of poetic speech writers and orators, Ken Burns has a natural poetic way of speaking that makes me want to lean in and listen, to digest and understand every word. And now that I've been enlightened, I'm gonna go and watch some Russian dash-cam car crash videos....

    I never was a fan of Conan as a comedian, but I have become a real fan of his doing interviews like this one. The reason is that, as an interviewer, he isn't intent on touting himself but rather asks intelligent questions that allows the interviewee to tell their story in their own way. This is a technique that is sadly lacking in today's media, not everyone can do this, and I really appreciate Conan doing it. Looking forward to more interviews! Also, Ken Burns is the best documentarian and speaks to two audiences in his stories. The first is today's audience so we can be entertained but also educated so that history is not forgotten. The second is the audience 50 or 100 years from now who can learn from and build on mistakes and wisdom from the past. I have learned the passion of this from Ken Burns.

    • @revnede
      @revnede 5 лет назад +3

      A lot of Conan's comedy is misleadingly self-important. He's essentially parodying TV personalities that are full of themselves, not unlike Stephen Colbert on the Colbert Report (though not Colbert's more recent talk show personality.)

Conan is a smart guy which is not uncommon with great comedy writers and performers. I would like to see Conan write a Simpson's episode again, entirely on his own. This episode would be his concept, idea. He creates and or uses mostly existing charactors; something unique which is hard to do on that show. An example of what the wrote for the Simpsons was the monorail episode when he was with their writing team in the early 90's prior to him getting his first talk show.
