Just write "extraordinary people" on the boxes. Done. That's how people work.

I tootally understand.. :) And I applaud youu, for that homage!! I was crying, when Deon Cole was describing what kind of employer he is/how he hires people.. I always knew, that he was that guy, but Deon put words & a story to it... I need that kind of employer in my life. Period. Love all these guys! Conan, Andy, Deon. All just a real kind of people.

I've always loved Deon for his humility. And years from now, people are going to talk about Conan being a legend, like Carson and Letterman.

I remember Deon from wayyy back as a young comic, he had the most genius bit where he would walk on stage with a notebook, if a joke killed he would circle it in his book and get an extra laugh, if a joke bombed he would cross it out and get a laugh that way. Completely a win/win scenario

Deon is also humble! Who takes an interview to thank the host??

Conan is the new Carson. This guy just flat out gets it and enjoys the people he is with. Favorite host of all time. Still love that I got to shake his hand waiting in line for late night when I was a kid. I watch this show every single night. I do not see any person on tv with the absolute joy that this man has. I thank you Conan for so much laughter and being such a positive person. I loved seeing this man perform on his tour. Truly a legend

Damn, Deone seems so much more relaxed in front of camera than the time they went to get soul food. Happy for him.

That shits beautiful I’ve always loved Conan I remember his fist shows back in the early 90’s I watched for years back in San Diego and thought this dude is different and I like it 20+ laters he still in the game. Much love big red

Really touching tributes all around. Deon Cole is great, and Conan has always struck me as totally authentic. Well deserved success for all involved.

it seemed genuinely coming from Deon's heart.. Good guy Conan.

Melted my heart! Deon is so great for giving Conan that recognition. Conan is amazing! Any title less than that is undeserving.

Deon was very nice to let the world know Conan is a hell of guy. Much respect to Conan and his crew; lifetime viewer here.

Deon Cole's Black box was a hilarious show that was ahead of its time.

Conan is such a humble man. Mad respect.

I love that Conan and Andy also just hit it off from this first lunch they had together! They are my favourite comedy duo. Their chemistry is so good 🖤

Conan had my heart after he went to Haiti after the president insulted the culture. So he went with his crew to ask them directly how they felt. Coco seems so real!

Love Deon! He is awesome.

Maybe Deon could take over as host if Conan ever decides to retire.

Deon is 50 Cent and Conan is Eminem. P.s You really can't help but respect Conan after hearing that. He's a genuine person who cares about his subordinates and puts talent above anything else.

Says a lot that conans staff think so damn highly of him

Deon is so sweeet! ❤️❤️❤️

Awesome. Conan really cares about his employees and that's cool to see. Will be bummed one day when he stops.

This warned my heart. Conan and Deon need their own podcast!

Can't help but love everyone in the Conan team even more. My husband and I keep saying "I'd love to work with or for Conan." He seems like the coolest boss ever who'd mentor you because he wants to help people grow and not to simply use them to boost his ego or anything of that sort. Deon is so lovable as well 'coz he's so real and funny, like Andy. Love them and love this show!

Conan is a genius for seeing what he saw on Deon. Deon is hilarious and talented

What a wholesome interview.

Nice touching moment to mark Conan's final desk interview.

RESPECT to Deon for recognizing THE TRUE MAESTRO!

Met Deon Cole in d.c like 10 years ago funny dude glad he finally got recognised

Coincidence! I was just looking up some of his work yesterday, love Deon Cole!

With all the research I've done on Conan, his staff and the behind the scenes people, I have yet to come across somebody who did not enjoy working for his company.

Yes! Yes and again yes to Conan and Deon Cole! Extraordinary people indeed! I live to far from you to go and see your shows but really my heart is with you guys!

I miss Deon! So true what Deon said about Conan. NBC, Jay Leno and everyone else had it in for him, but he kept working and 20+ years later he's an ICON! Plus he's got a great team e.g. Andy, The Band, Writers and Production Staff!

Sincere love and respect, beautiful 🥲

You know you done good when a black man gives you a hug like that.

I listened to the podcast with Deon as the guest. It was super lovely and effing hilarious.

Deon is the coolest comic on this planet

Just two gentlemen behaving like gentlemen.

Love Deon Cole!!!❤❤❤

Yes 👍🏽 I we do love ❤️ Deon Cole.. he is steadily hilarious

Miss these guys... Wish they were still nightly.

Damn it I wish I was still in DC to see him at the improv. Deon come to Orlando please!!

I can tell conan is a great guy because he has issues. And alot of people with issues aim to please the people around them, it gives peace to have everyone aroun you at peace. God bless him and never leave TV again.

Conan blushing cause deon gave him a Standing ovation... 😂

Still one of my favorite videos of all time.

Wait Where's the Gravy Deon?

Love this! We love you Conan!

I love this so much. Also he low key exposed Conan bc one of the primary rules of hiring people is _not_ doing that. But obvi Conan is a master and knows what he's doing bc everything he and his writers and employees are doing turns out dope
