Conan O’Brien Is Ready for the Oscars | The New Yorker Radio Hour
Video Overview & Insights
The comedian and television host talks with David Remnick about the decline of late night, the death of the Reiners, and why he loves when things go wrong on stage.
Why the heel did you feel the need to show that Will Smith violent incident!? Please have some decency, @newyorker — I'd like to think you're better than posting cheap content, but maybe I'm wrong.

Hear that late night talentless puppets, this is why Conan the great will never be replicated. I mean watching Fallon is a trainwreck
@Logan8xConan is genius and generous and kind
@yosoyradi adooooooore conan sm he's a gem

@CVLOVESU7707:50 who else went immediately to Google Maps to check out what was at 172 W 89th St in NY, NY?
@wallacerose8663It takes a special interviewer to make Conan O’Brien depressed
@stefan-3t4Great interview, thanks so much!!!
@maryjones0147You don't think I can take Bateman😂😂😂😂😂
@JangMember_twobabiesEvery time I see Conan being interviewed, I click immediately. Even when most of the video has you laughing at his quips, he somehow manages to say something unexpectedly profound. I really felt that when he talked about Rob and Michele Reiner, and Catherine O’Hara.
@magzymaggieI sort of understand women dying their hair but men doing that is just ridiculous.
@MrTooGayWhat the heck is a glacial plate?
@Obiter3He could have pressed Conan on what happened at the party that night.
@Josh-336Wow 😢😢his mom died 3 days after his dad 😢😢 , she must have dropped dead couldn't go on without her husband . # shocking
@GaryL-f8mI have a big crush on Conan. :D
@radkid06This interviewer asked great questions.
@plica06This is a fascinating interview. Conan is a legend. And the smartest guy in the room, but doesn't act like it.
@LilSuzyGrnbrgBreak a leg, but make sure it's somewhere in the middle.
@DonnyRicklesJr"You're making a living off of something that should be treated..." Hilarious.
@fullmetta2764Also, Conan is my childhood. I couldn't go to sleep before watching the late show and I would even watch the reruns on Comedy Central so thank you Conan for helping shape who I am and making me laugh during some really difficult times.
@IamStormy-t5d8:47 The Interrupter
@libraryjestercafe3623Two pros.
@untrustworthyshelfing9953Life is a path lit only by the light of Mr. Conan O’Brien.
@LIamaLlamo50o0Conan is such a gift to comedy and to this world.
@LIamaLlamo50o0I love him using two rappers names as upscale building names in NYC.
@jorgenunez3461If you're lucky, you don't think about it for the first couple of decades of your life... and then it's people saying, "Did you hear?" And you walk around concussed for a week.
@bobobandy9382❤❤❤❤🔥❤❤❤
@dominicdavis3272While it kind of seemed ‘out of place’ to ask about the death of his friends for this interview, I will say thank you to Conan for honoring Catherine dearly.
@andiqueen3584Conan is a legend in the making.
@renaudmichel1The Oscars are a jole
@John-q6z5gI’m excited to see what Stephen Colbert comes out with next❤
@pamelaj122611:52 😂😂😂 brutal
@oc2538I can’t wait to watch Conan’s opening monologue of the Oscar’s then turn it off when he’s done!
@nancykillsyouConan is a comedy genius, of course, but, over the last many years, it’s dawning on me that he might be a genius, period. Incredibly thoughtful, deliberate, well-read, and, maybe above all, knowingly self-aware.
@rellman85he's gonna plant a streaker
@georgebourlos1430Conan, I need you to bring it on fully at that monologue! 2016 style!
"NFL Honors are like the Oscars, if the Oscars nominated black people!"
Loved what he said about certain things that cannot be parodied because they are already a parody in itself. Interesting insight.
@alla9859Oh yeah, I’m sure he’s ready for the Oscars after a legendary Hollywood director + his wife were murdered by their son later on the day of Conan’s Christmas party, which they all attended… I’d be ready for anything by March.
@TrevorBoggsConan🫶
@gabbytroiseThe exchange between Will and Conan about Conan's parent's is some of the best dark humor I've ever seen. Will laid it out perfectly in an interview not long ago on Conan's podcast. Hysterical.
@MyEchoplexI love Conan… he’s the absolute best!
@cowtown523:40 is the Reiner bit btw
@sweemmeeeeIt must be such terrible grief for the Reiner family and Conan. For me Stand By Me is the magnum opus.
@KathrynWalsh-o7g1:28 does this hack realize Conan hosted last year?
@sweemmeeeeHave your journalist become YouTubers, NewYorker. Semi adapt
@tjmichael4900Rest in peace, Rob, Michelle and Catherine O'Hara.
@RealUniqueMusicI too lost my parents 4 days apart, my mom passed on the day of my dads funeral, it’s devastating and beautiful at the same time.
@lolamar6064I love Conan so much!
