The restraint that Conan showed by not yelling “Bears!!” In a Werner Herzog voice was impressive. Also, Werner Herzog saying Honey Boo Boo was the best thing I’ve ever heard

What a fascinating human being. Thanks Conan.

"Although metaphor for what, I cannot explain. [...] It has carried me that I am just myself, and essentially myself in many situations." - Werner Herzog The simple act of editing this quote was literally awesome for me.

An elderly, drug-abusing friend of mine once asked for a Herzog recommendation, wanting to show one of his films to a woman he'd wooed. Having not seen all of Herzog's films, but a good majority, I told him to show her "The Enigma of Kaspar Hauser." It had, I felt, a few recognizable genre elements to latch onto. Another friend interjected. "I think you shouldn't do this at all." A while later Shout Factory released their wonderful Blu-Ray book set, which gave me my first introduction to Stroszek. I knew as soon as it finished that I'd erred in my recommendation. It should have been Stroszek. It was too late. My friend got back together with his wife.

He has one of he best voices in cinema. 🙂

Conan needs two podcasts - one for all the comedy and shenanigans with Sona and Matt and other light-hearted guests, and another for interviews like this where he can be serious, and use his sizeable but often hidden intellectual gifts to go back and forth with guests like Werner. This one is already in the Top 20 US podcasts by listenership, he could easily crack the Top 5 or 10 with a video based podcast featuring these high-profile guests.

You can clearly tell Herzog is an idol for Conan in things that are crazy beyond the funny... Because that's what Herzog is... you hear about him and you know what he's done and you laugh at the insanity, but then you reach a point where it all becomes madness and confusion and a sort of deep, thought-provoking state of mind that you cannot make fun of. It's too real, you connect with it too much. I can only imagine Conan interviewing George Orwell, knowing how easy it would be to laugh at the madness of the totalitarian regimes in his work... but also knowing that it's a very real thing in this world and people's lives are truly affected by it, but there's also an incredible beauty in the way he shows it and tells it... so yeah, Conan knows the essence of his subject and their work enough to know when it's okay to throw a silly joke and when to really dig deep into their minds.

He is such an interesting guy. Gotta check out this full interview

I love Dethklok but I would say that movie (and his other works) inspired a lot of other things. It was a massive achievement and a great example of perseverance.

His voice is unmistakable. It’s awesome. In more ways than one

I still think about that penguin marching to his doom. Honestly, it's one of the most haunting images I've seen on film.

God, I love Werner Herzog's voice. He's such a fascinating person to watch being interviewed.

Usually when someone is speaking my mind is all over the place. I can't pay attention. Listening to this man I heard every word and wanted to hear more.

I just saw Fitzcarraldo, Burden of Dreams, and My Best Fiend a few weeks ago. It made Paul F Tompkins' impression even funnier for me.

dude I knew there wasn't going to be any youtube on the podcast before this one, that dude would not stop interrupting lol - i loved listening to this guy however!

This man sends in a different frequency. It's not only his voice or accent. You just don't want to interfere or crossexamine.

So fantastic.

I always wondered about that penguin. For how long did they monitor it? Because obviously Penguins can last for months without food, so how do they know the penguin went into the abyss, or whether it turned, or even turned back, after 1-3 months?

I think he just gave us the plot of Happy Feet 3.

One look at this guy and you know he'll do anything to survive.

Speaking of insanity; why was Matt so quiet? It was like he was not even there. Also, Matt missed a huge opportunity for not revealing that he is Friends with Paul F. Tompkins who is famous for his Werner Herzog impression (which Werner has heard in being interviewed.)

I can always tell when it is Werner voice acting in an animated show. It's subtle like Morgan Freeman's voice but you can tell if you listen closely.

i'm so stupidly luckly to have seen Herzog speak at the opening of My Best Fiend in NY in...1999 I think. He didn't say much, as he spoke before the film. But. Someone is out there looking for the obscure to shoot and edit. The irreplaceable isn't replaceable, but someone different could be powerful.

Conan is so serious about this he even dressed as Larry King

What a fantastic explanation abt the mask,jts only posing..brilliant

I said about "German iron will" before even watching this video. It's a phrase also used in Lovecraft's The Temple. Maybe the penguin was a natural loner, or had suicidal tendencies. Maybe it wanted to die alone. Who can get under the skin of animals, or even other people, or even ourselves? Do you know yourself? Is it all a chemical error in our heads? It's just the loneliest planet ever.

Werner Herzog expresses his interest in madness, while in another video expressing his intense disdain for domesticated farm poultry because of their intellectual inferiority. Seriously though, this guy has created a compelling body of work

beast guest thanks sirs fascinated with uncertainty ✔

Might have to watch his other films, hey?

I believe that Herzog's opposition to Conan's use of the term "Iron Will" was that he wished to distance himself from the Leni Riefenstahl film.

"Madness reigns"

At 2:08 Werner says "White Whale" and it's worth watching the whole thing just for that.

There was talk of misdirecting penguins.

Madness my old friend....

Like Conan’s character

I’ve only seen Grizzly Man by him. Any other suggestions?

I'm a penguin walking into the abyss.

I have a fascination with conan giving me a billion dollars

Herzog could read the phone book and it would be fascinating.

I think anyone who's lived around animals knows that animals can go insane or some level of this. Usually it's due to some kind of trauma, but could also just because they get old and their mental faculties deteriorate.

If I ever met Warner herzog: "But.. Don't you think the penguin might be running into the abyss because you and a camera crew is standing there?"

Strange comment. She and Matt are just listening. I don't know what she should be doing instead of sitting there with a neutral expression if she has nothing to add.

It's bizarre listening to this conversation between a narcissist who spent his life behind a desk and an insane man who has challenged the world. Conan has absolutely no idea what he's talking about. He's a comedy writer. Why isn't he content with his understanding?

i like him, i listened to his autobiography, but let‘s be real: he never moved a ship over a mountain, indigenous peoples did.
