I remember watching this when it first aired. I was in a senior in high school and I was was laughing so hard that I woke up my parents. My dad came out all pissed "it's 12:45! I have to be up early for work, what the hell is so funny?!" he started watching this with me and he started cracking up. Both of us there just laughing at Richard Lewis. Man, he'll be missed.

I haven't seen it since it aired, but I knew exactly what it was when I saw the title of this clip. I've got it saved forever.

I feel you... yet I know somehow you (& I, & everyone in need of it) will be able eventually to revisit all those genius, funny, moving moments, because we all need that thing that rings true, and because all of that was made for us, fellow human beings/audience... Thank you for your comment, fellow friend, and I want to wish you the very best! @@acsone3546

He never made that face even when Steve-O was doing something messed up.

Man, the way he keeps doubling down and digging himself deeper into awkwardness while coming up with hilarious lines to keep the audience laughing is pretty amazing. RIP. Describing a penis as a foreign exchange student, lmao. and his own as a semicolon. That is poetry.

One of Conan’s BEST interviews! Rest in peace Richard Lewis. You are a gem ❤️

No one has crammed that many laughs into five minutes of a talk show EVER. A Brilliant mind.

Richard Lewis, Johnny Knoxville, and David Bowie all in the same episode of Conan? That must have been a great episode.

This episode was so great, Johnny Knoxville, Richard Lewis and David Bowie, probably top 5 best Conan shows

I remembered Bill Murray, Jon Stewart, and a famous female comedian , and it was Max last show before going on tour, and the musical guest was Bruce Springsteen.

I saw this live. It had to be one of the greatest moments on light night television. Conan is so adept at handling stories like this and elevating it to just legendary status so quickly. Richard Lewis will be missed. Such a great talent.

Richard holds a special place in my heart..I don't know why but when I was really young, I always recognized him when I saw him. For some reason, he made me feel comfortable and safe when he was on TV...Breaks my heart he's gone now. I wish I got to tell him that

He’s a good Everyman; relatable

The back and forth between Larry and Richard on Curb is some of the best dialogue the show has to offer. I had no idea that they knew each other as kids and hated each other. 😆

it has and continues to be a very sad period for a lot of people who love comedy...we've lost some truly great comics in recent years..Normie, Gilbert, Bob Saget, fellow Curb star Bob 'Super Dave' Einstein and now Richard. Sometimes life just has no punchline. RIP Richard & thks for the laffs...

I watched this when it originally aired, I had never laughed so hard in my life. This interview still lives in my head to this day. RIP Richard Lewis.

"Ona sled, like a foreign exchange student!!'''I almost spit out my tea!! TOOOO FUNNY!

He was always the first person I think of regarding their personality as himself in interviews. Clearly a hilarious, delightful person to be around.

RIP Richard, thanks for the laughs.

Thanks for the laughs, Richard!

An interview that was later Claymated...Bless you, Richard

Saw Richard in Men In Tights as a kid .

Simply GOLD. Goodnight Richard. ("We'll be right back with David Bowie"). Post that too!

Love you Richie Boy. Rest Easy Pal! 🌹🌹🌹

Man what a huge comedic loss. RIP Mr. Lewis! Thank you for the decades of hilarity ❤️ condolences to his family and friends ❤

He was one of my favorite comedians. Stone cold legend who I will greatly miss.

Rest in laughter

" It has to be a foreign exchange student".....that is right off the cuff genius.

RIP king. (Johnny Knoxville was so traumatized lmaooo)

My favorite comedian of all time. I can’t believe he’s gone.

One of the the most naturally funny human beings that ever lived. RIP Richard

epic ass interview. rip Richard lewis

One of the funniest bits I have ever seen. RIP Richard.

What a great dude…he will be missed…im glad he got in this last season…he’s incredible

I always remembered this interview. It was so funny. He was a funny guy. Loved him in Men In Tights. RIP 🪦

I haven't laughed this hard in awhile 😅😅😅 I'll miss you Richard. Rest in Peace ❤

Richard Lewis is a genius... He's perfect for Curb. 😂😂😂😂

This is incredible in every way.

Love the 12 Angry Men bit towards the end.

"Like a semicolon!" {]X^{D}

Crying laughing.... brilliant ❤

I’m going to look into his comedy. He’s hilarious

I remember watching this the night it aired. It was the first time I heard of Richard Lewis. It had me laughing so hard that I still think about this clip all the time. I’ve been looking for it on YT for 22 years and it’s finally here. RIP RL thanks for the laughs.

"What is that??" -- lol.

Richard, you were the man ❤ 🥰. I can't stop thinking about you 😪🙏. You were the best.

When Johnny fucking Knoxville is sitting there thinking "this is maybe a little crazy," it must be off the rails, this is hilarious

Pure greatness

“We’ll be right back with David Bowie..” killed me, they’re both gone .. :(

He'll always be Prince John to me. RIP

Unexpected appearance of Johnny Knoxville as the other guest at 3:57!

"They could put the Chicago fire out with that thing" 😄

When Conan got up off the desk 😂😂😂😂

RIP RICHARD LEWIS. MY CONDOLENCES TO HIS FAMILY AND LARRY DAVID

what a beautiful crazy man. RIP.

"I think I asked you 'How are you?'"

Brilliant 🙌🏼❤️

tax deduction 😂😂😂

Ah, man.....This....THIS!!!! Pure comedy! It started so generically and then just stampeded to Shaq's junk! Richard Lewis is one of those rare birds who has no idea what course he's gonna fly, but it will always be an adventure! RIP, man.

Omg what an incredible and hilarious soul. You’ll be missed so very much

When he pulled Knoxville back 😂😂😂

We were lucky to have Richie Lewis.

hes very high energy!

Absolute chaos :)

Bro I’m crying lmfaoooooooo he pulled Johnny back like come on bruh it’s jokes where you goin 😂😂lmao The only thing

Conan: "Thank you very much Richard Lewis everybody... will be right back with David Bowie"... Wow.... let that sink in 😢 💔

So good

I bet shaq's thankful for richard telling the world about his enormous gift!

Me: Siri, calculate the number of times Richard Lewis spoke the word "penis" in his life. Siri: It would be easier to calculate the last digit of pi.

Travel into the next life well Richard, thanks for all the laughs, you made our lives better. RIP

He was so funny

RIP YOU GENIUS ❤❤❤❤

It's out there

Be at peace and travel well, Richard Lewis--brilliant and sui generis.

This does not look like clay animation - how I remember it.

There are so many great moments in Conan's Late Night. Now, all they talk about is politics. I haven't watched late night talk shows in over 7 years.

Imagine how Chris Dudley feels

Wait, Richard Lewis was the second guest to Johnny Knoxville?!

lmao

Shine on you crazy diamond...RIP

I showed my husband this clip and he didn't like how hard I laugh about the Shaq story 🤣😂

This was the clay-animation episode

RIP Richard You did real good

😂😂
