For someone who's notoriously known for making things awkward/uncomfortable in interviews, Joaquin seems to have totally put his guard down by the end of this interview. A true testament to how amazing an interviewer Conan is.

Conan would gladly make a fool of himself if it put his guests at ease. At that point, all they have to do is cut loose, and whatever awkward thing they do, it wouldn't matter.

I wish we had got more interviews with Joaquin on Conan's TBS show. I feel like Conan is one of the few talkshow hosts who know how to interview Joaquin without making him feel uncomfortable.

It's always better when an interview goes off the rails and not a typical talk show preset interview. This was way more interesting. This was a gem.

Of all the talk shows, Conan really understood the art of inserting witt into a conversation without standing in its way

Conan is an excellent host. Just look at how he listens, gives his full attention to his guests and actually always is interested in them, heck goes along with the guest's ideas/bits.

and Conan almost never interrupts or talks over his guests like so many other so-called talk show hosts.

That was pretty funny. I never seen a Joaquin interview. Would never guess he's awkward in other interviews after watching this one.

Lol Joaquin's first comment is straight from the Curb episode when Larry sees his therapist (Bryan Cranston), where he complains about how uncomfortable the chair is.

Joaquin - "You're awful Conan" Conan - 😬

I think Conan brings out the best of Joaquin, he is more relaxed in this interview. And Joaquin is pretty sharp in conversation too.

"How about another joke, Conesy?"

He has never been so comfortable in an interview....what happened?

Absolutley loved this interview!

The holding the card part was very funny

Joaquin should be Guy Montag in a movie based on Fahrenheit 451.

1:01...(disassociates, grabs coffee mug)...again Conan has the brains to ask better questions by at least going a little under the surface, I hope when he gets his HBO show going he uses Cavett as a blueprint

He is the most difficult guy to interview. A nightmare for talk show host. Kudos to Conan for not backing off.

Ironic how before Joker kills Robert De niro, Joker killed the late night show host voiced by Conan in Dark Knight Returns. And he didn't kill Conan because he was awful but to get genuine laughs.

I agree about the terrifying nature of it. It is never really thematized, one is just supposd to switch into a mental mode where it's supposed to be okay. (But a lot of life is like that, after all.)

I'm guessing you're referring to driving on the Autobahn? Yeah, it always baffled me how people just accept that speed (and that if you lose control at that speed, death is pretty certain). One of the reasons I haven't driven in 16 years, not long after I got my licence.

wow it brings back memories to see him sober..

I heard that too

The Autobahn is no race track. It's a highway net of some 14,000 km length all across Germany. It is well maintained. You hardly will find bumps, fox holes or rocks and stones on it because all this is repaired resp. taken away by maintenance staff. It's a big misconception that there are no rules on the Autobahn. It's quite the opposite. You have to know all the rules like keep right, overtake only on the left, the left lane is the fast lane, be aware that there might be always someone out there who doesn't know what he is doing, look into the review mirror every 15 seconds (or keep one eye on it permanently). You need some experience and some driving skills too to go fast on the Autobahn. We Germans are used to it. If you come as a tourist for one day and try to keep with us in the fast lane you are going to be terrified, that's for sure. It's a matter of routine. So don't just rent a fast car and try to be fast on the Autobahn.

Close your eyes and imagine Jason Bateman... it's uncanny. They have very similar voices.

of course the german autobahn is not wide open it has speed limits only certain areas you can open it up but then obey speed limits near populated areas

Hi

Autobahn driving must be something you need toput your mind to: Here, in Germany people drive real fast and you need to be aware if it else you may cause a serios or fatal accident. It is the same when driving on the left side of the road, totally different rules.

I am German and it's not true, that we drive so fast. We are mostly under 300km/h in rush hour traffic... Only when it free we go over 400km/h...🤷 But 55 mph? We only drive this slow in car parks...

👍

This totally felt like Joaquin didn't want to be there at all.
