It was my favorite show for probably close to 10 years.

I still die laughing watching his old timey baseball one.


I randomly caught this on tv way back one night and that’s when I became a fan. Years later when Late Night was ending before he went to The Tonight Show, he played that clip as his favorite of all time

I always try to work in “ you arse” when playing a sport and someone screws up

Him laughing at the girl when she says her dad is dead always gets me.

I probably rewatch a Conan and Norm McDonald interview once a week.

Is this thread about Craig Ferguson?

Not once a week, but I enjoy rewatching some Conan/Timothy Olyphant interviews. It’s genuine and funny.

I started a Ferguson thread about a year back talking about the charisma he had, and how genuine he was. I was a big Conan fan at the time their shows were head to head, so I didn't catch him when he was really doing his thing. But yeah, Ferguson was an absolute Chad.

Conan’s interviews with Dave Chappelle (especially pre-Chappelle show) are amazing.

Conan’s reaction to the “I have aids” walker, texas ranger makes me cry from laughing every time.

Did anyone watch the Conan documentary from a few years back that showed the BTS from his stage tour after The Tonight Show? He seemed like a bitter a-hole in it but it was understandable at the time.

Still think NBC pulled the trigger too early. Conan wasn’t quite ready for 10:30 and Leno’s Tonight Show demographic wasn’t going to get Conan’s brand of humor. He needed time to adapt and I have now doubt he could’ve. With Late Night shows becoming more segmented plus the need for online videos, he would’ve eventually dominated.

They actually caught up with her years later and interviewed her last year.

Catching up with Nell "He's Passed" 20 years later

I miss Conan too. Funny guy, always had funny shows, and was a great interviewer. Him and Craig Ferguson.

The hosts now are mother fricking koala shite and late night talk shows are officially dead IMO.

Especially with the ladies. Listening to him on a podcast, he got the gig because he made what he thought was an outlandish deal. High pay and long term contract. CBS agreed. So his show was so great because he just didn't care or prep that much. He would just wing it with interviews and let the guest take the direction. Ad-lib the monolog. Read emails and tweets and make comments. That was it. He just didn't care if he got fired.


His autobiography is pretty entertaining. Dude has lived a life. He's been through some real shite and you can tell he's above and beyond that and just calm and happy living life without all that craziness.

Like Conan a lot. Love me some Craig Ferguson. Never watched an episode of the Late Late Show with Craig Ferguson that I didn’t laugh my arse off!

Women were putty in Craig Ferguson’s hands.
