"I don't know any jokes. But if you put me in situation where I have to entertain you for an hour, I'll make you laugh. I don't know what's gonna happen but it's gonna get pretty ugly." After seeing him on Hot Ones this quote rings true

One big advantage he's had is that the generations who grew up with the Internet, who've now come into adulthood, grew up with him on TV. Add to this how uniquely well, particularly for someone who'd been in traditional media for 30 years, he's transitioned to podcasting and online presence so effectively. Through just being himself he's effectively capitalized exceptionally well on the particular opportunities of the times. It's no wonder his Hot Ones appearance obliterated previous numbers for the show. He's in a great position culturally.

Yes, he wasn't afraid to say the truth. But he was acutely aware that absurdism and mockery could only go so far until it became pandering. Despite being extremely intelligent, he loved playing the clown and butt of the jokes and that combo is extremely rare. He and Norm Macdonald knew that 100%. Also, I felt like he was never able to take himself too seriously on the show and avoided the cynical demeanor of some of his contemporaries.

Some of Conan’s most underrated traits that make his comedy brilliant and universal: 1. Diction: I am not from the western world and while I understand English very well, often I have to replay a bit or joke of most celebs to completely understand what they are saying but with Conan’s impeccable diction, I never had an issue understanding him. 2. Enunciation: If you have followed Conan long enough, you will have noticed that he stresses on the right words that makes a usually unfunny line hilarious. 3. Over the top comedy: There are very few people who can consistently pull off the over the top animated comedy and he is one of them. 4. Controlled but hearty laughter: Conan open heartedly laughs at others jokes but can immediately riff off the joke and extend it into a hilarious bit without breaking. A lot harder to do than you think when improvising! 5. Commitment: Conan commits to a joke however stressful, embarrassing, humiliating or even at times dangerous the situation may be. 6. Doing bits constantly off camera: I am often amazed by how he comes up with such random hilarious stuff so spontaneously but then I came to know that he does this 24/7 even at home or just in public! Because of this, while most people would have witty comebacks lost somewhere in the back of their brains, Conan has this right at the surface, ready to go. 7. Being funny while being an active conversationalist: It is a lot easier to come up with a funny line while passively listening in to a conversation. Most people are able to do so with varying degrees of success. But having witty jokes and comebacks while actively listening and conversing with another person is a much harder and rarer skill. Of course there are the other obvious traits but these are some of the most overlooked traits of his that I have observed.

Commitment is an understatement. His Hot Ones interview was absolutely unhinged, because despite not being one to even eat spicy food, he literally chugged bottles of it... Just because of the commitment to the humor.

@@CodeXCDM Conan was a 1000% committed long before the hot ones episodes, whether it was improvised or scripted. It’s just the first 2 or 3 years where he seemed unsure of himself. From the late 90s onwards his execution was 100%. If you haven’t seen ‘Conan spends 400$ at Rockefeller Center’, I highly recommend it. I personally think it is more insane and hilarious than his hot ones interview!

These are great points! Doing improv, I've learned something about #7. I've learned the better we listen, the funnier we can be. To make a funny comment about what's going on or what someone just said, we have to be paying attention to what they said. On top of that, a whole theme, almost a genre, of comedy I do is all based on pretending to misunderstand what they said or what they mean, often by listening carefully to what they say and responding to the words they actually said vs what they meant.

He's Homer Simpson as a kid sitting in front of the Radiation King TV. The way he talks about shows he grew up on or people he's met through the years. It's like listening to Mark McGrath, Sebastian Bach, or Matt Pinfield talk about music. He's such an expert in his field it's fantastic to watch.

Now I’m wonder which is the actual way it happened. Is this telling the actual versions and the story flipped over the course of 13 years, or is how he tells in now what happened?

His original Late Night show (which Letterman had pioneered) was absolute gold. Both he and Dave mastered the art of random, college buddy trying anything, out there humor. Stuff you would never see Jay’s typical audience get etc. Dave smashing things with a press and locomotives and hosting Super Dave Osborne numerous times, Conan having elaborate mascot costumes attempt to dunk and a cigar smoking puppet roasting everyone…all just brilliant. And both had legendary remotes plus entire shows done from planes, boats, Conan’s claymation and skeleton episodes…thank God for KZfaq so today’s kids can see what we had.

when you give funny that makes the ego butler of the mind shanty-town and his little doggie laugh and love this world more, you have succeeded. see the little dog, it's tail is wagging the whole little guy. so happy. good job.

I think this American Masters interview is the most serious I've ever seen him.

as a writer and producer I have to say comedy is the most difficult form of entertainment to create and make. especially the SILLY part of the continuum. and Conan is one of the geniuses. Monty Python maybe set the bar.

100% agree (except weekend update, RIP Norm MacDonald), there will never be another great talk show host like Conan. 0:30
