Conan is absolutely brilliant as an interviewee, even better than as an interviewer! I was watching a documentary about television somewhere and he was constantly giving hilarious answers!
@@e_sidera he brought all of his writing staff from NBC to TBS, so your argument doesn't hold. I'd said it's the lax atmosphere of LA that made his show less serious and thus mediocre.
I love Conan!! He's such a talented comedian. It is so nice to watch good, witty comedian with decent language! The fact that he's so self-deprecating just makes him even more endearing
I agree with you 100%. Really, he had a very rough start, my classmates in collage verbally shredded him practically every night, and still I thought he had something going. He was a writer for the Simpsons to begin with, and he has very deep knowledge into workd history, as well as a unique sense of humor. ...And, look at him now!
@TheRoopeKonna You guys are taking him literally here? The joke comes from the fact that being a god of Finland (or any country) is laughable. It has nothing to do with their intelligence, but rather makes Conan look like he's full of himself, which is funny. Its also why he expected no one to be there when he got off the plane, to make it even funnier.
"Comedy with good language...that is what Conan O'Brien is famous for." Wasn't Conan O'Brien the guy that presented to his audience a robot that stabbed hookers? I'm pretty sure it's that kind of humor is what we love Conan for.
Really, seriously. We dont think anyone of the worlds stars are god. Lol, when you go to Iron Maiden consert, do you think they are gods? No, really not. Ofc we had to show Conan some respect, he came to Finland because he likes the place, and the president. But hell, none of us thinks he is god.
"I was actually going to take her into another room and knock her out and take her place. I thought it would be neat to rule Finland for a little while."
@gmcubed I meant that Conan is so stupid that when he tries to compare himself to our president, he just makes us to look stupid. I understood the joke, although i did not laugh at it. His whole life is not a joke, and i think that his visit to Finland wasn't a joke either. Well, with that joke he kinda blows up our reputation. Not to mention that i would be ashamed to see a simple talk host get such welcome, talking to the president and all. He's after all just a talk host, not a messenger.
I agree, I really hope we still get all the silly Conan stuff we have all loved since Andy was still on the show, characters like the masturbating bear. If it just becomes Leno jokes told by Conan I will be really dissapointed, but when it comes to interviews I'm sure he will still be same old Conan.
In Finland lives about 5 million people, so theres a little difference to usa. Allways when Finland is said in big tv shows etc. we get excited. Normally Finns & other europans 'hates' americans, mostly becouse of George W. Bush. Maybe little writing problems @ 6:15 am and drunk! :)
I find this funny more than anything. You're accusing his fans of being obsessive, when you're the one trolling a video about him on RUclips. Congratulations, you have really offended Conan O'Brien and all of his fans!
Haha, I like Conan's reaction to the guy talking about his show having good language. And what the hell? Did Conan cut his lip on that poster at 1:08. I dunno, I doubt that he did, it just looks like he's bleeding.
@blackhawkbn Sure at least i am.. that's embarrassing. He learns one word of Finnish and then we should love him. He's funny, yea, but a god?? ..Yea.. we should treat him like a triumphator.. -.-
man no more tonight show with Conan.. I still cant believe it man.. NBC is stupid.. I only watch their channel because of Conan. Well, I hope FOX signs him for 11:30 slot. That would be sweet!
Just like mine your View is an Opinion but the difference is that I can back up mine with Facts. How many: man rule the world? 98% :Females Run Major Corps? about 12% So you can laugh more: The reason I do love women is because my Mother is 1. She is smart and runs her own life(Financially stable) but I still think I am Superior and that goes for any Female. I do respect your view only because you are a Human Being. How old are you and what can you do better than man?
The Masturbating Bear appeared maybe 2 or 3 times per year during the last few years of Late Night, it's hardly fair to reduce Conan's entire comedic repertoire to one joke. AND they set the Masturbating Bear free in the final week of shows; he won't be appearing on the Tonight Show, for obvious reasons. But yeah I guess that guy who wrote for SNL and the Simpsons during those shows' respective best years is really just a giant hack.
I'll take into consideration the fact that since you feel Conan is a comic mastermind that you'd probably think everyone in the whole world just had to as well and anyone who thought Conan was a jerk had to be out of their mind. Perhaps when Conan's "humor" matures in a couple of decades, he'll gain some followers who enjoy real comedy, and aren't so touchy when people knock their idol.
nda1186--I find it truly amazing that so many Conan fans get so uptight when someone starts joking about their idol. Whether one's negative comments about Conan are serious or in jest, it appears his fans have no sense of humor whatsoever and can't simply let the negative comments be ignored. It may lend credence to the observation that his humor truly is juvenile and thus the similar response from fans.
One thing awards signify is the quality others in your profession see in your work. Someone can appeal to a small, niche audience, as Conan does, but his peers will recognize he's got a limited reach. Such a small appeal usually means a performer needs to rework his act to appeal to a broader audience or find himself off the tube and back in the comedy clubs. And say, porchematt22, do you use the Urban Dictionary to build your vocabulary?
Scandinavia has to suffer through t hose long midnight sun nights they have, so they'll probably watch anything that's on TV, no matter how lacking in talent. Probably explains why they would watch Conan. I'm sure NBC would love to see Conan take an offer to do a show on TV in Sweden or Finland so they can reverse their mistake and get someone who's actually funny and a good interviewer take over The Tonight Show when Jay leaves.
Other thing: Do you think that people in Europe don't have cable? My news from the elections are provided by CNN and MSNBC... And the news treatment is so so poor. Politics in the US its all cheap talks made by "analysts". The media give increadible much more time to analysts than to politicians... So the approach to politics is to think what will the poeple and specially the analysts like and admire instead of building a good strong political program. The politician is a sellsman in the US.
whoa, where do nazis come into this? And Im an idiot? Nazis !? are you serious? Your talking like a child, I wasn't comparing Americans to nazis Germany. The Americans have done some great humanitarian work, helping small countries in civil war or give countries struggling with a epidemic of deseases, all I was saying that if your an American, you really have no say in the subject of how others in the world perceives you. Its not all to do with you, its has to do with our own media and yours.
A lot of the Americans I've met are racist towards other cultures and people's opinions, and the fact remains most (if not all) of the technological advances Americans have achieved is due to the people are you racist towards. The problem isn't Americans necessarily, but the problem is ignorance of the human race, America just stands out because there's too many ignorant people living there. PS: When you try defend a point about stupidity, do yourself a favour and don't make a fool of yourself.

Hint for swede: Lapland is not a person. Lapland is in the Finland. I think there is a parts of Lapland inside Sweden's borders too, but originally the people there didn't even speak swedish as a mothertongue until they were forced to. Ok - really the Lapland is in Finland, Sweden and Norway ->(Finnmarken)+ Russia's Lapland. Hey - what the hell, with or without Lapland, Sweden is a nice and beautiful country! And Norway too! But the Santa lives in Finland. For real (but it is top secret...).
Hmm... I'm French, I learned English in school, I'm fluent! But it IS true that most people in France don't want to learn English... England and France are old rivals, after all. But if people could just realize what an easy to learn language English really is (as opposed to French), they would be surprised. I mean, no conjugating the verbs, no gender for nouns, etc... PS: Love Conan, best talk show host EVER, made the Simpsons funnier, just a great guy really.
YES CONAN is a GENIUS..his show is one of the very few that I watch regularly.NBC would like to put him on the TOnight show now if Leno wasnt under contract...Leno is sooo played out..like a piece of gum thats lost its flavor if it had any to begin with.Even Letterman is better with his spontanious wit and the way he interacts with guests,..but Conan is the best tho..hes the new breed.LOL and the charisma challenged Max Weinberg beats that suck up Eubanks butt.
I've spent time on NBC's boards for Leno and Conan and have seen that Conan's humor appeals mainly to the younger generation. I grew up with Johnny Carson, plus a little bit of Steve Allen, so I find their humor far more appealing to me. Not that Conan doesn't have good comedy. It just doesn't move me. To each his own.
Could be popular where he is now. Move him to the earlier spot, though, and it's a different story. People don't stay up after the late news to watch a stale joke about a masturbating bear. they want talent and comedy, which will be far less than what it has been for years on The Tonight Show. Nice to see you welcome people back to make follow-up posts.
Conan's demographic watches at the later hour. The demographic currently watching The Tonight Show is much older, and cares little for his humor. THAT'S the audience Conan has to appeal to. If all his current viewers move to the earlier time slot, they still wouldn't be able to make up for the older audience that would change channels or leave the TV off at 11:30.
Conan sinking like a rock? out of all the late night/late show hosts etc he is the funniest by far, so if any1 would sink like a rock it would be leno or letterman. Conan is actually funny without relying 90% on props, he can just go somewhere or do somthing that is funny but leno always needs a prop and letterman is really not that funny.
Just like Conan to do the impossible. TV shows don't win Oscars, although Conan's show did receive an Emmy in '07. One little award to put on his mantle. That makes one Emmy over the 12 years or so he's been doing the show and one Emmy for Sat Night Live. Not too good for someone people think has comedic talent.
I personally don't care for Jay, but Conan has a lot of catching up to do to equal what talent Jay does have. Viewers obviously help in the ratings, but Emmys are voted on by people in the industry who know good work when they see it, thus the greater recognition in awards given to Dave and Jay as opposed to Conan's meager pickings.
A reply totally lacking in humor, which is in keeping with Conan juvenile antics. Check out the # of Emmys won by late show hosts. Conan's way down the list, with Dave and Jay up at the top. John Stewart or Craig Ferguson would have been far better choices to carry on the tradition of Steve Allen, Jack Paar, Johnny Carson and Jay Leno. But CONAN????? That IS funny.
wtf? look at 3:52 his not some "santa claus" xD he is some saami guy. saami peoples are some native peoples of north finland or something like that.. and that guy really isn't actor from california he just looks like him when he said "i kill you punk" :D conan was just kidding but those news guys didn't get the joke because they didn't look that conan o'brien in finland show
Surely "Europe" can. The people who were responsible for all these cruelties are dead and buried since over 60 years while people who are responsible for cruelties of US-origin are alive and governing. Putting an original sin onto Europeans because of wars in the past is completely crap, it's like blaming today's Americans for the slavery in the 19th century.
Let me say, I love Late Night w-Conan, though since it was announced he is taking over the Tonight Show a couple years back, his show has gotten less funny becuase it takes fewer chances (remember how unbelievably great the mouth-cut-out interviews used to be). It is the fact that CNN is covering it LIKE THIS that bothers me a bit.
The tonight show doesnt suck, its actualy a pretty good show and leno is a great host, its just that conan has exceeded the level of comedy we're used to in the typical lame/boring talkshow format. he is just more hillarious than should be humanly possible and makes other shows seem like crap but it really isnt their fault... conan and his staff are just geniuses
he's the funniest guy on late night. u see his monologues, he's always doin somthing crazy and his skits are so funny because they're so dumb. Even his interviews are great, one time he was acting gay with harrison ford and another day he let giselle put make up on him. give him more respect because he's a comic genius whether u like him or not.
I like how you turn it around. Most people, don't mind anything, they just go on with their zombie like lives, never thinking, only consuming. You're right though, I guess. I just see people get all pissed off about stupid stuff, which makes me pissed as well. Sorry for wasting your time.
Everyone here takes Conan WAAAAAAY too seriously. Such thin skins. Is his position on The Tonight Show so tenuous that people feel they have to defend him against every single negative comment someone throws their way? And such vocabulary, too. Tsk, tsk, tsk.
I don't know how anyone under 50 could not love Conan O'Brien. Also, I don't know how anyone with a Y chromosome could not totally fall in love with Zain Verjee. Kiran Chetry better watch out because Zain Verjee is every bit as badass and sexy.
Yes, I'm serious. You don't appear to be, however, seeing your choice of adjectives. That's typical of some of Conan's fans and, thankfully, most of them are growing up and will eventually grow disinterested with his humor and move on to a real comic talent.
Ok, folks, stop the sweden vs world fight! Swedes: stop behaving like immature teenagers World: No need to respond like immature teenagers This is about conebone =) and we should all talk about our common love to conebone, not start wars! =)
I wrote earlier: "Sweden is a nice and beautiful country! And Norway too! But the Santa lives in Finland. For real (but it is top secret...)." Papisliski´s reply: "it's top secret so you post it on the worlds 4th largest website"
It does spoil the fun of it, but yeah, they are. Most people here are too lazy to read the subtitles, they would scream if they were forced to do so. They don't realize the world of good it would do them. That's how I learned English, for God's sake!
How come is it never mentioned that when Conan started supporting Tarja Halonen she had something like 70 % of the polls, but the final one-on-one election round against Sauli Niinistö ended 52 % - 48 %. Like somebody really gave a damn who Conan supported.
Humor is very subjective. Some people like Leno, others Letterman, others Conan, etc. And everyone is entitled to their opinion (I disagree with Ruraraid, but that's fine). Personally, Leno leaving The Tonight Show in favor of Conan can't come fast enough.
No time wasted. The boards on these videos are open to everyone, both those who agree with the video's subject and those who don't. Conan's humor simply doesn't appeal to me so I express that in my comments.
And how that's possible that Late Night with Conan O'Brien is most popular Late Night show in America, if Conan sucks so badly and "getting bad ratings"? And I don't understand you, you have comment this video for months, lol.
Tivo's great for recording things you want to watch. People who currently watch Leno on Tonight aren't going to keep the show programmed in Tivo to record Conan when he moves since they have no interest in watching him.
Naah, Im a fin and i love the show, but hes not a 'god' or a 'superstar' :D Its just that not many celebrities from the states come to finland, especially when most of finnish people know him only from the late night
@whyyoumadbroful Um, they've been rated as one of the world's most intelligent countries.. They outrank Korea and Japan in student academic testing- And they sure as hell outrank North America.
Anything is better than watching Conan. And as he'll be unable to gather any additional viewers apart from the few niche viewers he has now, wait for The Tonight Show to plummet in the ratings.
actually pamela andersson came to finland at summer but no one didn't go to see her or something but i guess she didn't even want that because she was on holiday. her grandpa or someone is finnish
I heard that he might, considering the majority of the Tonight Show audience probably won't undesrtand or appreciate his humor :( I like his comedy, and if he changes his style, I don't know what i'd do!
i love conan. poor pathetic thing wasnt aware of the string dance. i can't wait until he replaces Jay Leno, not because i hate Jay, but because i cant stay up that late most of the time. lmao.
Is this how europeans treat us(Americans)in Europe? I noticed that all Europeans love American music, movies, clothes, etc. So I am surprised that Americans are treated like celebrity in Europe.
You and others are taking too seriously about that Santa thing, they know that was joke. They know what is real Santa Claus and they know that Conan is joking around... C'mon people
hey, im an american. A human being-a citizen of the world. There's a lot that all you could be talking about if you knew what you were talking about; That's good superiority!
Conan has said time and time again that he's an idiot when it comes to computers. I doubt he's even entirely sure what Twitter is. For a while I wasn't even sure.
They say it all the time, but you hear a BEEP..watch btw. the two interviews, when they do a comedy bit that "wastes everyone's time." A few times a week at least...
Um, those are British people calling Conan God in Finland. And as someone who lives in Finland, it is true. The Finns love him. So stuff your unoriginal American bashing.
Yeah, I mean, it is your opinion. Everyone has one. Sometimes, you may see a comment saying "This guy sucks", but you at least give reasons why it would suck.
Omg what he says at the start: Tartsa Hälönen Yess... Well, im from Finland, and he spelled the name a little bit wrong =P And yes, we have ä and ö letters.
lol... it bounced off the sign. that would suck if it hit him.. I mean he's so tall he'd have to fall like 8 feet to the ground... he could really get hurt!
I wouldn't expect him to last long on Tonight then, thankfully. The Tonight Show isn't directed at the Sesame Street audience like Conan's show has been.
I L-O-V-E Conan, but why oh why did he not mention that Lappland is in Sweden? I would've been very proud if he'd said that he'd visited my country, too.
Conan is cool. Americans can experience the rest of the world in a very positive way through his show. I hope he travels to the rest of Europe and beyond.
I was at the airport when he arrived! 3 hours in the freezing cold just to see Conan.
Conan is absolutely brilliant as an interviewee, even better than as an interviewer!
I was watching a documentary about television somewhere and he was constantly giving hilarious answers!
And today his show doesnt play anywhere in finnish channels. :(
They're sparing you, the writers on TBS are mediocre and full of nonsense. NBC writers made him pure gold.
That is because it is on cable TV now, not on NBC
@@e_sidera he brought all of his writing staff from NBC to TBS, so your argument doesn't hold. I'd said it's the lax atmosphere of LA that made his show less serious and thus mediocre.
@@e_sidera his tbs show was >>> Jhonny Carson and letterman put together
I love Conan!! He's such a talented comedian. It is so nice to watch good, witty comedian with decent language! The fact that he's so self-deprecating just makes him even more endearing
Still watch him?
I LOVE CONAN, I wish he would come back to finland someday :)
ppl love him here!!
I agree with you 100%. Really, he had a very rough start, my classmates in collage verbally shredded him practically every night, and still I thought he had something going. He was a writer for the Simpsons to begin with, and he has very deep knowledge into workd history, as well as a unique sense of humor. ...And, look at him now!
"What was that little dance?"
Good thing she didn't even bother watching a single episode of Conan ever before interviewing him.
clueless broadcaster interjects with, "what was that little dance about?".
this guy brought the tonight shows to Finland, and none of them beat him
@TheRoopeKonna You guys are taking him literally here? The joke comes from the fact that being a god of Finland (or any country) is laughable. It has nothing to do with their intelligence, but rather makes Conan look like he's full of himself, which is funny. Its also why he expected no one to be there when he got off the plane, to make it even funnier.
This was when CNBC Europe would air Late Night with Conan O'Brien each weeknight across Europe.
Do they still?
@@gregh5061 Late Night with Seth Meyers now airs on there.
"Comedy with good language...that is what Conan O'Brien is famous for."
Wasn't Conan O'Brien the guy that presented to his audience a robot that stabbed hookers? I'm pretty sure it's that kind of humor is what we love Conan for.

Diz antes, "podíamos", porque agora tiveram a brilhante ideia de retirar a SIC Comédia da grelha!
Morte à TV Cabo.
Do Finns really like him because of his likeness to Tarja or is because of his striking good looks and awesome comedic talent Jay Leno sucks?
if having kids still seemed to loom in my future, i'd call the eldest one conan--gender notwithstanding.
I hope when Conan takes over the Tonight Show that they keep there sketch/joke writers and scrap Jay's.
when jay leno leaves the tonight show its gonna be a bittersweet thing cause i think leno is awesome! but conan is a lil bit better IMO
Jebus...the newscasters are so humourless that it borders on condescending...no big surprise I guess.
@Hikk0
He's really good comedian, but offending us by obviously referring us to be stupid people with that joke.. not good.
Conan is awesome, but the days with Andy Richter were better. I loved the stare contests they used to have!
Just like mine your View is an Opinion but the difference is that I can back up mine with Facts.

Just like Conan to do the impossible. TV shows don't win Oscars, although Conan's show did receive an Emmy in '07. One little award to put on his mantle. That makes one Emmy over the 12 years or so he's been doing the show and one Emmy for Sat Night Live. Not too good for someone people think has comedic talent.
I personally don't care for Jay, but Conan has a lot of catching up to do to equal what talent Jay does have.
Viewers obviously help in the ratings, but Emmys are voted on by people in the industry who know good work when they see it, thus the greater recognition in awards given to Dave and Jay as opposed to Conan's meager pickings.
A reply totally lacking in humor, which is in keeping with Conan juvenile antics.
Check out the # of Emmys won by late show hosts. Conan's way down the list, with Dave and Jay up at the top.
John Stewart or Craig Ferguson would have been far better choices to carry on the tradition of Steve Allen, Jack Paar, Johnny Carson and Jay Leno. But CONAN????? That IS funny.
wtf? look at 3:52 his not some "santa claus" xD he is some saami guy. saami peoples are some native peoples of north finland or something like that.. and that guy really isn't actor from california he just looks like him when he said "i kill you punk" :D conan was just kidding but those news guys didn't get the joke because they didn't look that conan o'brien in finland show
Surely "Europe" can. The people who were responsible for all these cruelties are dead and buried since over 60 years while people who are responsible for cruelties of US-origin are alive and governing.
Putting an original sin onto Europeans because of wars in the past is completely crap, it's like blaming today's Americans for the slavery in the 19th century.
Let me say, I love Late Night w-Conan, though since it was announced he is taking over the Tonight Show a couple years back, his show has gotten less funny becuase it takes fewer chances (remember how unbelievably great the mouth-cut-out interviews used to be). It is the fact that CNN is covering it LIKE THIS that bothers me a bit.
The tonight show doesnt suck, its actualy a pretty good show and leno is a great host, its just that conan has exceeded the level of comedy we're used to in the typical lame/boring talkshow format. he is just more hillarious than should be humanly possible and makes other shows seem like crap but it really isnt their fault... conan and his staff are just geniuses
he's the funniest guy on late night. u see his monologues, he's always doin somthing crazy and his skits are so funny because they're so dumb. Even his interviews are great, one time he was acting gay with harrison ford and another day he let giselle put make up on him. give him more respect because he's a comic genius whether u like him or not.
I like how you turn it around. Most people, don't mind anything, they just go on with their zombie like lives, never thinking, only consuming. You're right though, I guess. I just see people get all pissed off about stupid stuff, which makes me pissed as well. Sorry for wasting your time.
Everyone here takes Conan WAAAAAAY too seriously. Such thin skins. Is his position on The Tonight Show so tenuous that people feel they have to defend him against every single negative comment someone throws their way? And such vocabulary, too. Tsk, tsk, tsk.
I don't know how anyone under 50 could not love Conan O'Brien. Also, I don't know how anyone with a Y chromosome could not totally fall in love with Zain Verjee. Kiran Chetry better watch out because Zain Verjee is every bit as badass and sexy.
Yes, I'm serious. You don't appear to be, however, seeing your choice of adjectives. That's typical of some of Conan's fans and, thankfully, most of them are growing up and will eventually grow disinterested with his humor and move on to a real comic talent.
Ok, folks, stop the sweden vs world fight!
Swedes: stop behaving like immature teenagers
World: No need to respond like immature teenagers
This is about conebone =) and we should all talk about our common love to conebone, not start wars! =)
I wrote earlier:
"Sweden is a nice and beautiful country! And Norway too!
But the Santa lives in Finland. For real (but it is top secret...)."
Papisliski´s reply:
"it's top secret so you post it on the worlds 4th largest website"
It does spoil the fun of it, but yeah, they are. Most people here are too lazy to read the subtitles, they would scream if they were forced to do so. They don't realize the world of good it would do them. That's how I learned English, for God's sake!
How come is it never mentioned that when Conan started supporting Tarja Halonen she had something like 70 % of the polls, but the final one-on-one election round against Sauli Niinistö ended 52 % - 48 %.
Like somebody really gave a damn who Conan supported.
Humor is very subjective. Some people like Leno, others Letterman, others Conan, etc. And everyone is entitled to their opinion (I disagree with Ruraraid, but that's fine). Personally, Leno leaving The Tonight Show in favor of Conan can't come fast enough.
No time wasted. The boards on these videos are open to everyone, both those who agree with the video's subject and those who don't.
Conan's humor simply doesn't appeal to me so I express that in my comments.
And how that's possible that Late Night with Conan O'Brien is most popular Late Night show in America, if Conan sucks so badly and "getting bad ratings"? And I don't understand you, you have comment this video for months, lol.
Tivo's great for recording things you want to watch. People who currently watch Leno on Tonight aren't going to keep the show programmed in Tivo to record Conan when he moves since they have no interest in watching him.
Naah, Im a fin and i love the show, but hes not a 'god' or a 'superstar' :D Its just that not many celebrities from the states come to finland, especially when most of finnish people know him only from the late night
@whyyoumadbroful Um, they've been rated as one of the world's most intelligent countries.. They outrank Korea and Japan in student academic testing- And they sure as hell outrank North America.
Anything is better than watching Conan. And as he'll be unable to gather any additional viewers apart from the few niche viewers he has now, wait for The Tonight Show to plummet in the ratings.
actually pamela andersson came to finland at summer but no one didn't go to see her or something but i guess she didn't even want that because she was on holiday. her grandpa or someone is finnish
I heard that he might, considering the majority of the Tonight Show audience probably won't undesrtand or appreciate his humor :( I like his comedy, and if he changes his style, I don't know what i'd do!
i love conan. poor pathetic thing wasnt aware of the string dance. i can't wait until he replaces Jay Leno, not because i hate Jay, but because i cant stay up that late most of the time. lmao.
Is this how europeans treat us(Americans)in Europe? I noticed that all Europeans love American music, movies, clothes, etc. So I am surprised that Americans are treated like celebrity in Europe.
You and others are taking too seriously about that Santa thing, they know that was joke. They know what is real Santa Claus and they know that Conan is joking around... C'mon people
hey, im an american. A human being-a citizen of the world. There's a lot that all you could be talking about if you knew what you were talking about; That's good superiority!
Conan has said time and time again that he's an idiot when it comes to computers. I doubt he's even entirely sure what Twitter is. For a while I wasn't even sure.
They say it all the time, but you hear a BEEP..watch btw. the two interviews, when they do a comedy bit that "wastes everyone's time." A few times a week at least...
Stalker much Navisirus?
anyway,
Um, those are British people calling Conan God in Finland. And as someone who lives in Finland, it is true. The Finns love him. So stuff your unoriginal American bashing.
Yeah, I mean, it is your opinion. Everyone has one. Sometimes, you may see a comment saying "This guy sucks", but you at least give reasons why it would suck.
Omg what he says at the start: Tartsa Hälönen
Yess... Well, im from Finland, and he spelled the name a little bit wrong =P And yes, we have ä and ö letters.
lol... it bounced off the sign. that would suck if it hit him.. I mean he's so tall he'd have to fall like 8 feet to the ground... he could really get hurt!
haha at 3:15 you can see conan cringe in horror at the horrible joke the anchor tells.
Clever Comedy with Good Language? That guy's definitely a Bible Beater!
i am only 21 on the 27th and i have a long life aheard of me so unfortunately if i ever witness that i will still have most of my views towards women
I wouldn't expect him to last long on Tonight then, thankfully. The Tonight Show isn't directed at the Sesame Street audience like Conan's show has been.
I agree, he's excellent. He's my absolute favorite late night personality. And he's even Harvard educated I hear, but lets be honest, God he is not.
I L-O-V-E Conan, but why oh why did he not mention that Lappland is in Sweden? I would've been very proud if he'd said that he'd visited my country, too.
Spotnik, Conan O'brien is a comedian and jokes around a lot. He doesn't really believe he is a god in Finland, he's just saying that to be outrageous.
Wow it was a joke made by the cnn people, just like Conan said he has had a lot of "self loathing".... calm down and take everything into context.
Conan is cool. Americans can experience the rest of the world in a very positive way through his show. I hope he travels to the rest of Europe and beyond.
You can tell the CNN lady never watches Conan. She was like what was with the dance?
I find it hard to believe that a Harvard graduate would spell college as "collage".
:D how come brussy1's comment has so much plus points and ligyro's almost as many minuses. After all they are the exact same kind of humour.
I AM NOT BELIEVING I AM KNOWING.
The Only female who i think deserves a Good greatness mention in the Books of History is Mother Theresa.
Conan on CNN talking about the string dance..... I haven't felt like this since David Bowie appeared on Bing Crosby's Christmas special.
Some people seem to think Conan is funny. They're the ones who'll be in the dark when his ratings start to plunge at an earlier time slot.
