Liam Neeson isn't killing anyone in this scene

"how fast do you burn?" belfast..

He has the most amazing voice

'I have a 160. It fires light back at the sun.' hahaha genius

Liam is the Irish Harrison Ford.

As a Kentuckian, I have to say that Liam Neeson does a better impression of the Kentucky accent than most Americans outside of the state. People who aren't from the south never realize that there are different kinds of southern accents. Just another reason why I love Liam Neeson. ^_^

Conan is of Irish ancestry. His last name, O' Brian is an Irish surname. I think it's nice that he is proud of his heritage. I don't understand why Irish people come on here and hate on him for it.

I could listen to Liam Neeson all day, love his voice

I'm from Kentucky with the accent and Liam makes a great point. A lot of immigration into Kentucky came from Northern Ireland, mostly Ulster-Scots/Scots-Irish.

Makes sense that the Kentucky accent sounds so similar, since Liam is from Northern Ireland and Appalachia was settled by people from Northern Ireland originally

Liam Neeson doesn't actually say much in this clip, in fact most of his responses are very short and brief. Despite this it's still a very funny clip, just shows Conan's skills as an interviewer - he can make dull people appear very interesting, whilst making the conversation feel very natural. Top notch.

Interesting he mentions Kentucky accents, the traditional Kentucky folk music (Bluegrass) is almost identical to traditional Irish music, just without the bagpipes.

The irish accent has many variations believe it or not, from a 'Co Antrim' accent to a Cork one!

Its my first time hearing Liam Neeson's voice LOL. Its actually quite amazing.

Liam Neeson is soooooo handsome! That voice!

The Irish are amazing, funny, and fiery. Me Irish granny had so many friends, when she passed away... you'd have thought Elvis had died there were so many at her funeral.

I love Liam's accent, it adds to the sexiness of his voice.

Liam Neesen trained Obi-Wan and Batman AND lead the A-Team. I don't think it gets any more badass than that.

He's from Ballymena hey!

I could listen to Liam talk all day and night long~

The last bit was super damn funny, with how Irish people actually talk 😂🤣

Liam is such a charming man like hes just sitting there but man he looks so good and smart

sooo authentic. what a man.

Conan's last impression was hilarious. It's hard to breath from so much laughing.

Liam is from Ballymena in County Antrim, my father was born and raised in a small townland called Toome in County Antrim, just 11 miles down the road and yes I can say that is how County Antrim people speak. My father had a very pronounced Antrim accent just like Liam's old accent.

Hope he can be in a hit TV series. I love him.

Kentucky had a high number of Irish immigrants, hence why the accents have a common sound :)

I'm from Kentucky, and I'm not offended...he has a point

I from Brazil and I have an uncle that I never understood, I also never saw him sober, but that's a different story...

My Dad is od partial Irish descent and yep he's pale as all get-out. Also, Liam makes a really good point about how there's a similarity between some southern and some Irish accents. Could possibly be because a lot of southerners are descended from people who came here in colonial times (late 18th century) from what is now Northern Ireland.

I loved Liam Neeson's movies such as Darkman, Schindler's List, The Lego Movie, Non-Stop and The Ice Road.

That last part LMBO!!

I love how Liam's hands are triple the size of conan's!

As a North American who lives in Northern Ireland, I think Liam was actually dumbing down his Ballymena accent for Conan. The Ulsterers are impossible to understand sometimes (may God bless and keep them 😊💖)

Frkn Murphy brothers!!! Love These two Irish pasties.

Liam Neeson is so awesome.

his voice is life

"so you had food in your mouth" XDD gotta love Conan

2:33 is what keeps bringing me back to this video

love this guy's voice

I like how Liam clears by saying "because of the sun" lol i am sure in ireland he was warned of other reasons to move to LA

I can hear how his accent is mixed. That's normal. Love this Man. Ruggedly shexy.

What a voice!

I love him..my fav actor ;)

Man Liam Neeson's voice is velvety as hell.

Ballymena ladssss

I live in Northern Ireland not far from ballymena where he is from and yeaaah he still got the accent

Love Neeson! I'm from Kentucky (backwoods) and my family (x8 brothers) are known for causing A LOT of trouble and most def inherited a reputation, SO my mother in all her wisdom shipped 4 of my brothers and myself to live with a uncle in Ireland. We fit in right off the bat and had no problem adjusting to the language because IT IS so similar! Needless to say, sending us to Ireland only fed our tendencies for mischief and have been ruling the island ever since.

For a really small country there are an amazing amount of different accents in Ireland! Conan is an American of some Irish descent, he would be laughed at in Ireland for his geekiness!

I have a strong Irish ancestry on my father's side. I can confirm that going outside when the sun is up is playing a dangerous game. I have to use at least SPF 90.

he has such a great voice

I’m from the same hometown as Liam neeson! Good old ballymena

I was born in America but my family came from Ireland, struggled to get here, struggled while here, still struggle to be here but its for our future, our families future. We practice Irish traditions, customs and culturally try to maintain our Irish identity. So yeah I say that I am Irish, as my family are, if that offends you kiss my pale Irish ass.

well the murphy brothers were from Kerry anyway. that's for sure.

i laughed so hard at the end!!

Fucking great interview, im pissed I missed the full one.

C: How fast do you burn? L: Fast

Very slight? Liam's kept an incredibly thick dialect considering he's been in America for the vast majority

Omg 🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌 That voice 👏👏👏👏👏👏

Neeson. FLUSH.

i'm irish and i know exactly what hes talking about .

Love Ireland 🇮🇪

I could listen to Liam say "smear" again and again

To me as an irish person liams accent seems very relaxed and American at times but where im from is southern ireland literally the opposite from antrim is actually "howr ya gitting on, chrisht int it fecking fraze'n hear"

Liam Neeson voice sound almost as the voice of the governor from the tv series Walking Dead, David Morrissey..

Every Irish person I've met turns out to be super nice and kind.

I could listen to him talk about anything

Yes! I'm from Ballymena, Co. Antrim!

I have Liam's accent because I'm from Ballymena in Northern Ireland too...but we all hate our accent, it only sounds good on Liam Neeson.

Guys, even though one was not born in a certain country, he can still say he is "from" that country if his ancestors are from there. An Indian man or woman that was born in America can say they are Indian, a Chinese man or woman born in America can say they are Chinese, an English man or woman born in America can say they are English, etc.. Come off of your bullshit.

I had a great deal of trouble understanding cab drivers in belfast, I mean I thought glaswegians were hard to understand but this ws on a different level, and nobody mentioned it to me, it should come with a warning

He's right about the similarities to Appalachian accents. When I moved to western NC in the Blue Ridge Mountains, where most people are Scots-Irish descendants, the accent lingers on.

Close your eyes and picture Conan interviewing Aslan.

and he still sounds like a god when speaking normally

My favorite Jedi on my favorite talk show

Conan, you've lived in America for all of your life. You're not Irish.

I love Neeson's accent. I'm actually trying to learn it. It's a very elegant, mild accent of Irish. Love it.

Disappointing how many "nationality snobs" there are around here. Everyone in the US who's not Native American has blood from somewhere else. Nationality doesn't define your ancestry. What's basically going down in the shadowy sections of the comments: "You have 100% Irish blood, but how DARE you say that you are Irish? You were not born in Ireland; you're a disgrace to the REAL Irish, and we real Irish deny you of your Irish-ness!" Yes, let's all just toss any admiration for one's family background out because it is only exclusive to us! Well, won't you be sorry when one day you feel your culture is not appreciated or forgotten for good. Would you all rather Americans just throw away the ancestry that they can so proudly trace back to? So what would you say they are, ethnically? That idiotic term: just White Americans, is that it? And then you have people in Europe talking about how European identity is fading and how no genetically indigenous people care or love their heritage anymore? The fact that some "white" Americans still care enough about their roots to acknowledge and embrace them is absolutely wonderful (I say this as a non-white person, too). Your brethren may not be your nationality and live halfway across in a foreign land, but they have your BLOOD. The Irish, the Germans, the English, the Chinese, the Russians and etc etc etc-it goes for all "nationalities": You are of the same/similar genetic makeup (ethnically); it only happened that some stayed in their native country, and others went to live in America. And I agree, the people in their native home and the ones in America are NOT necessarily the same culturally, but how can someone go about rejecting the authentic blood of his brother? The mentality "I'm more real than you" is just distasteful. FWI, stuff about ethnicity gets tricky here in the US. "American" is not an ethnic culture. Nearly everyone here came from somewhere else across either the Pacific or Atlantic. Their blood didn't stop running Irish because their grandparents landed in America.

I love Liam.

My ancestors were from Ireland and went to Kentucky...so I get how they sound alike!

Liam Neeson makes the Northern Irish accent sound kind of ok

Feels good to be a quarter/half irish.

Neeson displays his mastery as an actor.

"Really? When did you burst into flames?" that made me snort laugh, lmao.

I'm getting annoyed with these petty comments nitpicking over whether Conan is Irish or not...

As an Irish person I speak for many of us when I say there is nothing more annoying when people whose great great grand uncles best friends neighbour was Irish claim their nationality is Irish. Having Irish ancestry and cultural identity makes you Irish, knowing the cúpla focail gaeilge makes you Irish. But people whose identity is for example American their name is American their passport is American their accent their manner of speech and expressions, their very identity cannot claim to be Irish it's kind of offensive. I have family in Australia but I don't claim to be Australian.

Liam neeson makes me proud to be from northen Ireland

He’s correct about that accent. I live in eastern Kentucky and some of the old people here many outsiders wouldn’t be able to understand cause the accents are so thick. My ancestors actually immigrated here and I’m the great great x8 or so grandchild of scots/Irish immigrants that settled Kentucky and west Virginia area before the revolution. After the Revolution ended One of those grandfathers received a large sum of land in east Kentucky by the then new government for his service.

Lots of arguements in the comments below about Irishness. The same old discussion once again. Irishness.. is it an ethnic/ancestral identity or a national identity?? I have cousins who grew up in the bronx their mother is from Mayo their father is from Wexford. They spent most of their summers with us in Ireland when we were growing up. Their family always tried to to keep Irish culture and traditions alive within their community. They are quick to let people know they are Irish and take great pride in doing so. they also find it hurtful when people try to claim otherwise because they might sound more like Tony Soprano than Liam Neeson. are they more or less Irish than my neighbours children? My Neighbours came to Ireland from Lagos in the late 1990's. they are a very nice couple who have 3 children all born in Dublin, the 2 boys play hurling (Impressively so I must say), the girl loves Irish dancing (I am no expert but it looks like she knows what she is doing), they all went to the local gealscoil as such they all speak gealic (better than me I do admit), they speak English with Dublin accents (but I suppose no one is perfect)... you see, I am not going to say who is more or less Irish, my neighbours or my cousins. As an Irish man (both ethnically and nationally) I find It quite endearing to think an Irish American would feel a sense of cultural association with me based on ancestral connections. Likewise wheather you like it or not multiculturalism in Ireland is here to stay. I am glad to see how my neighbours children have embraced Irish culture, the land of their birth. In doing so they haven't in any way turned their back on African culture. I really don't know why people get so hung up on it to be honest. I have seen the hurt Irish Americans feel when they are told all their life they are Irish only to be contradicted by some keyboard warrior intent on imposing their world view on everyone. Likewise I can only imaging the disgust my neighbours kids would have if they were told they don't belong because of the colour of their skin or where their parents came from. I think people should just accept in the USA people use terms that reference a national identity (such as Irish, Italian, Mexican etc) differently from most other countries

These comments are hilarious. People saying that he's American and not Irish when he clearly said that he grew up in Ballymena Northern Ireland and even told a story about when he was 16 at HOME in IRELAND. Come on guys.

The only reason I can vouch for the O'Brien Irish last name is from Star Trek. 😂

It's different in America, because our country is so young. Most of us DON'T have to go back that far. Furthermore, the genetic phenotypes are still present and discernible from person to person and many of us have maintained the culture from our ancestor's country of origin. I'm third generation American with Irish, German and Slavic heritage all of which influenced how I grew up and very distinctly separate me from my best friend, a second generation American with Italian heritage.

Conan should bring Jacksepticeye on the next time he's in LA.

People from Ireland think an African named Mukembe Umvawa is more Irish than Conan O'Brien because he was born in Ireland.

More Scot-Irish in Kentucky, Tennessee and Virginia.

Love that guy

Tom cruise is Irish too, So is Gerard Butler and Colin Farrel, All very unique in their own way. But Liam and Conan both have that pale skin, and medium reddish brown hair that Irish people are known for.

It sounds like Brad Pitt in Snatched lol

Liam Neeson is the man!

OMG! This is too funny!!!
