Conan is the opposite of living in a bubble that most of celebrites do, not knowing anything about real world. God I love this intelligent, humble and funny human being.

That Conan was able to get access to all his NBC footage and post those, is probably the best use of his 'cards' he's ever played.

Interesting point because I've seen so many people online brush off the Conan tonight show situation because NBC gave Conan 40 million after kicking him out, bit it's obvious Conan wanted the Tonight show for more than just the money and the fame.

Conan comedy scripts in early 90s were hysterical and no one was like him at the time.
I Iove Conan. Such a great interview by Howard.
Conan is such an amazing entertainer.
I never had the impression that Conan wears even the tiniest smidge of a grudge on his sleeve, it was and is always some of his colleagues and most of his fans. He is a man of principles, not grudges. And a funny motherfucker!
It's kind of surreal that NBC had done something similar to David Letterman in the early '90s and it was also on behalf of Jay Leno.
I adore Conan!

In this world its almost always the case that the less talented are more famous, hence why Fallon has the tonight show now and not Conan. The best late night host doesnt have a show anymore, theres your indicative of why hes the most naturally talented and funny. Meanwhile I'll keep watching his podcast or any content he puts out

they don't explain that in life, unlike in literal cards, your ability to play the hand you're dealt is part of the hand you're dealt. - Grognor, 2017
Conan is cut from a different cloth. Much love.
As an artist, I feel the same. Its not about money
Howard's math though. 😅😂
Fuck yes Conan! Truly the people's champ of comedy. Team Coco for life
Regardless Conan was the host of the Tonight Show even for a short period of time but that is an extremely rare title to hold and one he gets to hold for life
Love Conan O’Brien
A better running joke would have been if Conan slowly pulled out a toy gun every time a guest asked about it.
Conan is super intelligent!
Conan is the GOAT of late night
Howard just goes for the money lol
I really wish Howard wouldn't talk over his guests.
Conan is the GOAT!
Fox is not known for late shows, it probably wouldn't have worked out though I believe Conan would have made a good push at it.
Moral of the story. If you get a better offer you probably have to take that.
