That is a real friend. Guy who looks after yo mamma when you die young.

Props to conan for taking over when he saw bill was stuggling.

Conan handled this not just like a professional, but like a Good man. lots of respect.

"You're a hilarious man; more important, you're a very good man." Conan couldn't have handled the situation better. Props to both of them.

Bill knew the plug for Patrice was coming, and he already started to tear up...that's a good man with an enormous heart right there.

i love how Conan acted when he saw that bill was about to break down crying what a great man. most hosts would milk the tear's outta bill's eye's so they could get something interesting on their show.

When Bill softly said "Sorry" the world felt that pain. What an incredible human being.

Listening to Burr and Patrice go at it with their feuds on O&A... then watching this. It puts everything into perspective. They loved each other.

Jesus Christ the way he can barely spit out "...money for his mom..."

If everyone had a friend like Bill Burr, the world would be a better place.

Big tears, Bill. Big tears.

That's a fucking man and good god damn friend right there. RIP Patrice

Bill has put on the benefit for Patrice's family every single year up to the pandemic. He's a real friend and Patrice really was one of the smartest, funniest dudes who ever lived.

2020 Bill still does a benefit every year. That's a good friend

Ol Billy red eyes

Other host would’ve been like “so how did his death make you feel” after seeing him clearly fight back his emotions.. this is why Conan is my favorite.

I hope Conan surfs the internet and falls on this video and sees the amazing comments, he did good here. Backing his man up by leaving it at that.

A real emotion on late night television...or tv in general. Pretty rare.

What a man Bill burr is, to have a friend that you know will take care of your family when ur gone

Bill needed that pat on the back from Conan, let him know everything was ok. That's a beautiful thing, and proof Conan is the real deal.

Made me cry too. Patrice was great, but for Bill Burr to show that emotion, you know he was something special.

Conan was so unbelievably smooth with this. Saw Bill struggling, immediately kept the conversation going to get a good transition into the outro. That handshake and the “thank you very much” was just so perfectly timed. Conan is a natural at this.

he's raising money for the layyyyydeeeees..

That's why conan is the best guest he knows when to jump in and knows when to shut up and is caring. I love BB

This is fucking beautiful. Combine this type of thing with the very comedic world Patrice and Bill contribute(d) to... There is nothing more raw, more organic and real, more human, than what these guys are a part of.

“Trying to get through this” We all are, even though it’s been 11 years. RIP Patrice, the man ahead of his time

Conan man.... dude just knows how to handle everything. Immediate response to "I'm sorry". Immediate recognition of Bill's sadness and taking control of the 'announcement'. He then pats Bill's shoulder, finishes off the statement about Patrice, and scoots his chair over to Bill and stays close. Calls Bill a good man, goes in for a close, firm handshake. He then places his hand on Bill, letting him know that even after the camera goes off, he's still there. Class-Act Conan.

Big Conan looked after Bill beautifully here. Massive respect

The way Conan moves his chair closer to comfort Bill is really touching. True gents.

If you listen to burr for a long time, you know that he DOES not cry. I remember him saying even how it's hard for him to express those emotions about anything. And to see him almost brake on TV infront of all those people. Just brakes my hurt. One of the great, do much respect for him.

With Ed Sheeran as a musical guest? Man there was a lot of gingers on the show that night. Goodbye Patrice ❤️

Billy really loved Patrice, man. This choked me up.

Dude, Conan grade A top shelf wingman right there.

Conan has always been a class act. Def one of the greatest ever to do late night. Conan and Craig Ferguson are my top 2

Love Bill Burr!

Bill deserves all the success he’s seen in recent years. Love him or hate him, he’s his authentic self, and if you listen to his podcast, you know how sincere he is in his admiration for Patrice.

Class act bill burr is. Glad I had the chance to see patrice live at helium comedy club in Philadelphia. He passed away not even 2 months later.

And they say gingers don't have a soul.

"Ladies. Why can't I ..... harass you?" One of the greats Patrice O'Neal

I don't think people get what Conan did... Some Men Usually make a Lot Of Effort to not get Emotional even in Tough Situations Some of us men are wired that Way Society may tell men to Cry openly too But it's really hard... Girls can never understand it... we men are Emotional too But we express it in a much more different subtle way than them The Fact that Conan being that One Homie who had our back and will not let us go emotionally down infront of any people by backing us up 🔥 Conan is a Real ,True Mate❤️❤️ #Respect

"You're a funny man, and more importantly a very good man" This is why Conan is the only good talk show host. I love Bill Burr

You can see Bill deflate when Conan mentions Patrice's name.

I don't know who I love and respect more; Bill Burr, Patrice O'Neil or Conan.

That shows how special Patrice was I've never seen Bill get emotional about anything ever.

R.I.P to the legendary Patrice O'Neal

Conan has his back on this one; that’s really cool. He know Bill needed a moment and he didn’t miss a beat

Love you Bill. You're one of the few celebrities that I would genuinely like to meet someday. R.I.P Patrice O'Neal.

Highly recommend anyone looking up "brutally honest- fan made tribute". Patrice O'Neal is one of life's true champions. He chose integrity & honesty over fortune and fame. He had all the right ingredients to be a HUGE star...but refusing to sell out cost him. Patrice was the kind of guy to call you out on being a tool in your new jacket & point out you got food in your teeth, in the same breath. A true friend. He lived by standards we all should. Not this phony, pretentious bullshit we're surrounded with now. If you were unlucky enough to be targeted by him, you were lucky enough to be befriended by him. His viewpoints on life were unparalleled. He could make you see things in a new light and way you hadn't thought of before. From relationships to the illuminati & racism. If ever asked...alive or dead, who would I have a conversation with?.....I have my answer. best wishes to Vondecarlo Brown R.I.P. Patrice O'Neal

"More IMPORTANT you're a good Man."

Class & character.

After binge watching ALL of Patrices O&A appearances and being a long time fan this made me cry like a little baby. And Patrice would of called me and Burr and anyone else sissies if he could. RIP PATRICE

The realest dude on the fuckin planet, love u Bill!!! Respect!!!

Damn never seen ol billy blackheart get choked up.

You just know Patrice would be busting Bill’s balls about getting choked up on Conan. Miss that guy

I bought Patrice O’Neal’s stand up on Amazon and I watch it at least once a month. So brilliant and one of the funniest humans to ever live. RIP

I feel for Burr every time he talks about Patrice. I miss him too, and I didn’t even know the guy. I’ve listened to every Patrice appearance on O&A, watched every available episode of Tough Crowd, and those two loved each other like brothers.

True friend he never lets his legacy die every time i hear from bill burr in interviews he mentions his dear friend that is a badge of honor and loyalty few wear. Especially in entertainment where egos and pride are heavy.

We all can agree that reasons like this are why Conan is highly respected and Bill is respected, big respect for Bill because he was helping not just a fellow comedian but a friend and Conan big respect because he knew when Bill was starting to break down he understood that it wasnt about jokes at that moment but serious things

Listening to all of Bill's appearances and podcasts and everything really helps to understand just how much he loved Patrice, most of his best stories are of Patrice, his career was intertwined with Patrice, losing Patrice for Bill seems like losing a brother and for a man that at times can be offensively funny it's so good to see how much heart he has.

I teared up watching Bill tear up. This is very touching. RIP Patrice and I love you Bill.

What a beautiful moment of empathy and compassion between two humans.

I always tear when I bump into this...

Damn, never see Bill in this way. It was legit like his brother.

Bill has done more for Patrice than any other comedian. It's interesting to learn about their friendship. It was rocky at times but the love was strong

Class act.

I think this is the first time I've seen Bill Burr at a loss for words

Bill is a good guy under it all.

conans a stand up guy and you can just tell it from subtle moments like this

I dont tear up when a celebrety dies i care about people but i dont tear up... I didnt tear up when my moms dad died put it to that way. I dont know why but patrice oneal was a real dude to me. I heard him during the opie and anthony days i listen to that still i watched all his speacials hes the only famouse dude that i fallowed his career watched and heard to everytjing he ever did... Shit i even listen to him on alex jones. So whenever some talks about patrice i get a knot in my throught i guess he reminds me of college and hanging out talking shit with my pals... He had good and bad advice but always entertaining... I wish he wasnt gone... Wish i had more material to listen to.

0:13 sec was so genuine. Bill gasp fro a bit of air, he was hurt by this truely this was not for publicity you cant fake that. He probably didnt even know the camera caught it

0:33 Bill silence speaks volumes about the depth of their friendship

Wow this is like the only time I’ve seen Bill super emotional

Bill is the only person EVER that I’ve heard say “I’m sorry” after crying and that it choked me up even more... so genuine.

RIP Patrice O'Neal. I still listen to him to this day.

Damn. I felt his pain

Patrice O'Neil was definitely an inspiration to Bill Burr. He seemed to really love and respect the guy and was glad to be his friend all while being a fan too

WOW! This is certainly a different side of Bill Burr. Much Respect.

Bless him. Conan did well there. Lots of other interviewers would've waited & let him get more upset. Respect.

Bill Burr and Patrice O’Neal are two of my all-time favorites.

I never saw Bill like this.. Never. This give me goosebumps and tears.

There are of course plenty of comedians we wish were still with us. Farley, Williams, and Patrice were game changers. You can find some of the best stories about Patrice from all his friends, and this clip shows he was and still is loved. And years later it doesn’t get any easier watching how crushed a guy like Burr gets. RIP big man

*Eastside Low Bottoms shit !* Shout out to Billy Burr. I kno he and Patrice and Quinn and a Kevin Hart and a bunch of other guys came up thru the ranks together. These dudes were comedy GOLD whn they got together ! U could tell they've all known each other for a long time because they were BRUTAL towards each other on Quinn's show or id they were on the radio together, especially if they could CURSE ! Patrice O'Neal RIP. I listen to something with Patrice in it LITERALLY every day on KZfaq.

Bills a great friend, never met Patrice but think about him all the time.

Bill sounded like a little kid and could barely even say “money for his mom and his wife”. Man, these two red headed lunatics and Patrice were and still are such a big part of my life. It better be a while before we lose these two

Comedy Central and Bill Burr are now in the process of making a full length documentary on the life and career of Patrice O'Neal.

It's always tough to watch the tough guys choke up. Good man. Class act Conan.

Lol they had Ed Sheehan on too? That must've been the Night of the Gingers.

Bill is a legend. He hung with Kevin Hart, Patrice, Charlie Murphy, Donnell Rawlings and Dave Chappelle. He is a class act to take care of Patrice's wife and mom

If patrice O'Neal saw this he would give Bill Burr a hard time for being emotional.

Conan handled this perfectly! Such a great interviewer and an even better guy!

Wow I've watched and listened to hours of Bill, and have never seen him get emotional like that. RIP Patrice!

Burr’s emotions become so much more relatable when you yourself lose a close dear friend. RIP Big Man Patreeky ❤

I never thought Patrice and Bill were friends Id love to imagine them roasting each other

I watch this too much.

Bill and Patrice knew each other for a very long time. They were hanging out when they were still living at home with their parents. What's great about that benefit is that Billl keeps it going year after year. He said he didn't want it to be like other benefits where they do it the first year and then never again and the family is struggling to survive. Bill knew that Patrice made a commitment to Von and his mother to take care of them for the rest of their lives. And we can see the results. Patrice's mom bought herself a condo and his wife started a college fund for his stepdaughter. Very nice to see

The way Conan acknowledged his feelings, calmly helped him through without making a big deal when he was clearly struggling and continued to pat him on the shoulder even after the end of the segment. Both class acts and genuine people. Beautiful and rare to see in Hollyweird. So much respect.

Two of the greats right here in this video. Conan really handles this like a gentleman. A real role model the way he conducts himself here. I want to be the kind of person to handle this like he did. Also very rare to see Bill so emotional - he’s got some incredible Patrice stories, really makes you wish you could be a part of that comedy club table they used to sit at.

When you see a man take that deep breath, you know

Taking care of your ppl when you're dead. Now THAT is a true friend and great man.

When bill pauses and you see his hands shaking.... I had a flash back of all the good times they had on the opie and Anthony show and I almost cried. What a great friend. Love you bill!
