Alcohol and cigarettes addiction actually destroyed my life. I could remember several years ago after divorce with my wife which brought me into my disastrous journey on Alcohol and cigarettes. I suffered severe depression and mental disorder. Got diagnosed with cptsd. Not until a friend recommended me to psilocybin mushrooms treatment. Psilocybin treatment saved my life honestly. 8 years totally clean. Much respect to mother nature the great magic shrooms.

I saw zach once and he knew that I knew and he just kept staring at me through out the store. From outside to inside and back again outside he honestly wouldn’t stop starting at me and then at the end we kinda got in our cars at the same time and he just gave me the most classic zach face and I was dying in laughter and he waved and I waved and it was absolutely perfect.

He really told an embarrassing story while making everyone laugh. That's cool man.

"I don't know if you've ever been spat on your face....non-sexually, but..." That broke me.

Seems like a fun guy to sit down and have a vodka sausage drink with.

Awesome to hear! I quit 3 years ago, got to let it go and find peace. Anyone that needs to hear this you can do it

I absolutely love Zach’s sense of humor. And good for him for quitting drinking.

Notice how nobody clapped for him when he said he quit drinking. That’s how many people have a drinking problem.

"Did you have a moment that led you to stop drinking?" is an extremely personal question, not one that can pulled off easily on a talk show in front of millions of people. Speaks to the talent of Conan and Galifianakis that they held this conversation so smoothly.

Man, Zach is probably every late night host dream guest. He's very funny and quick with the punchlines. Im sure some of it is rehearsed in his head on what he might talk about or even with Conan, but still one of the best.

why does it feel like he's making up everything he says while saying it. Like the next word depends on the last two words 😂😂

Good on Mr. Zach quitting drinking! I'm 2 years sober, hardly ever been unhappy since.

“…there’s about 20 things” FELT THAT

A remote with Zach... All of us lets make is happen, keep commenting it

I really like this guy.

We need a between two ferns interview with those guys who spit in his face. Nobody spits in Zach Galifianakis’ face!!

In all seriousness, it's great he recognized the problem, good for him. I've always liked everything he does.

I can’t even imagine dealing with crowds of people noticing you everywhere you go. I saw Zach at a bar in Hollywood back in 2005 right before he got really big fandom with the hangover. Only me and one other friend even knew who he was from out cold, but we just let him be. He was literally at the bar drinking a beer by himself and not a single person came up to him the whole time we were there. I’ll bet Zach misses those days when he could be at a restaurant or bar and no one bothers him.

He spoke facts and seemed like he wanted to be taken serious. As a person (myself) who uses jokes as a way to keep others happy, it was a serious issue in his life. People don’t pick up on that. When he spoke about his drinking, I understood him. Sadly had to turn to being the same funny guy he is to take the light away from a serious issue at hand. Specially being on a talk show like he mentioned.

Thank you for sharing that you stopped drinking! I have laughed at your characters, but really respect the man (anyone really) who can admit, adjust, and adapt to such a difficult decision and live on!

that's right Zac it ain't just one bad night, it is all the bad nights punctuated by one supremely bad night

He's naturally funny, and I don't know if he gets enough credit.

The biggest takeaway from this for me was that there’s superstars like Zach Galifianakis that are just roaming the streets alone, just wearing a hoodie and listening to music, and we’d never expect it.

This is one of the most genuinely hilarious guys ever

You're a hell of a guy, Zack. Thank you for the story. We all have one or two, not many of us are as brave as you.

I'd literally watched all of Conan's videos on KZfaq and this appeared on my screen it was like finding water in a desert. Thanks Team Coco

I was in the audience that day! The first guest was Jim Gaffigan. This brought back memories.

Zach is one of the best comedic minds. Can’t have enough. Greeks loves you Zach!

He's one of those people who was simply just born to do comedy. It's so effortless seeming to him that I think it's just his actual, natural personality. I got a pretty funny little story actually. I wasn't there but my neighbors were all hanging out, I live in a very touristy area and a lot of movies are filmed around here but it's not California/Hollywood, and at the time he was filming "The Campaign" with Will Ferrell. Anyway, my neighbor is very open to the tourists and passers-by and her front door is basically always unlocked if not outright open and there's almost always a party going down when she's in town. Anyway, one night none other than Zach Galifianakis shows up, walks in and just wants to kind of see what is going on at this open house gathering. He's talking to my neighbor for like maybe 20-30 minutes or so, and finally he asks "Where is the best bar around here?" because in this same area there is basically nothing but bars and clubs and restaurants. She recommends one to him, he says thanks and goes on his merry way. As he's leaving, my neighbor's daughter is like "Don't you even know who that was?" and she said "No, who is he?" and then her daughter tells her "Dude, that's Zach Galifianakis! He's a pretty famous comedian!" and my neighbor immediately shuffles outside and is like "ZACH! Zach, come back here for a second!" and he does. She says "Are you famous?" and he says "Well, I thought I was"

Applause for Zach, and bravo for sharing honestly!

Love this guy. He has brought so much laughter into my life 😂

I just love how he keeps us entertained!

I thought he was gonna say, "one day me and my boys went to Vegas for the weekend and...." Haha

Only few guests bring genuine smile on Conan. Zach is one of them.

Oh man, Zach never gets old. One of the funniest guys in the world.

Zach and Conan bounce off each other so well hahah

This feels like a "Between two ferns" episode.

That is a really funny and inspiring story. I’m sitting here a bit hungover and having, as usual, said/done some silly stuff. I’m quitting too

The guy's timing is so on point! What a great comedian!

That's excellent to hear Zach. Love all your movies.

💕 kudos on the sobriety, and to everyone else on their journey, good luck, 1 day at a time

Love this guy, he's so authentic, he hates celebrity - and to be part of.

I love him so much ❤️ what a innocent legend ❤️

We’ve all been there. (Meaning heavy drinkers). Doing things while drunk that you think is good, but it never is. I’m thankful to be alive with the amount of anger I’ve displayed. I truly appreciate this story.

Man, this guy is just hilarious - just naturally funny!

Conan: "6 foot 6, so about normal height."

I love Zach and all the things he does. I feel a lot of comedic actors today were influenced by him.

One of the most funniest interviews ever love it he is hilarious

He had anxiety answering the drinking question. Id recognize that anywhere. Apparently a lot of comedians do.

Conan can always joust with the best comedians, and he does it very well. He always can give them time to tell a story, and has no problem being the straight man. Everything about this was hilarious. Conan always will be my favorite.

I've battled drinking from the age of 25 to 45 because I found myself living for the weekends and not happy with my choice of work carrier. I would drink through the week to cope with life and binge drink with friends on weekends when possible. At 45 I emotionally knew I was failing in life by my choices and actions from alcohol. At 47 I found my passion for the outdoors to be more true to myself, so I started a tube channel for fishing and camping. I am happy to say that I found myself before loosing everything I had embracing me like my wife and kids to the true friends that were not abusers. I can stay sober for weeks now and choose when and how much I want to drink if I choose to with friends. Life really begins when you understand!

Boa noite, esse cara é bom demais no humor. Adorei o vídeo.

Watching Die Hard 2. His Ferns with Willis was classic. Bruce looked like he was going to kill him any second.

hilarious. Zach never treats these talk shows seriously always bullshitting. that's why we love him

Zach was one of Conan's funnier podcast guests. He talks about seeing a live performance from the guy who whistled The Andy Griffith Show theme song.

I can relate although I have never drank any alcohol or drugs in my life my Father and Uncles were massive drunks and I saw that growing up as kid and that was that. It’s terrible to be addicted to substance abuse.

The most funniest and talented comedian he's a master

Damn, I was that guy in a "Who Farted?" T-Shirt. Never thought I'd make it on Conan #blessed

He worries me, he gives me deep robin williams vibes

Zach has always been a comic genius. His timing and delivery is impeccable.

Good for Zach! People never realize (even when they drink a small amount) how much it would change their lives for the better.

I absolutely love this guys humor. If I could spend a day with any celebrity, it would be ZG

I saw him in New York and said hello and I was a fan, he was very polite.

Vodka and Sausage? That sounds like Christmas, too me.

He made me laugh so many times within a few minutes. Not many do that for me

you know the joke's funny when you hear Andy's laugh in the backround

Ethan Tremble’s impersonation of Zach Galifianakis is spot on

Please do another standup Zach!!

he just cool.

My personal "quit drinking" story - Battle buddies convinced me that, after taking night medication for a cold, it would be a great idea to have a few drinks. This was under the guise of celebrating their return to Iraq the following week from Camp Shelby MS (which was where we were at the time - in Hattiesburg MS). I don't remember anything after that, other than waking up the following morning in University Hospital (Tulane) in New Orleans; chained to a hospital gurney, no pants, no underwear, no phone, half of a pair of shoes, and a few fractured bones. Apparently a cop car had shown up a few hours earlier and the two officers piloting this shuttle dropped me out on the curb in front of the hospital entrance before slowly driving away. There are more stories than this that constantly filter in through various recounted tales from nurses who fielded calls on your antics all night. Imagine having to explain everything you know, which is being told to you through second-hand accounts, to your wife who lives 8 hours away - while convincing her its a good idea to come and pick you up.

This dude is smart and genuine

Most people know him as a movie star and if so do yourself a favor and watch his standup. He is one of the best with his own style and flow.

episode 414 "IMDbCooper" the other guest was Jim Gaffigan and music from Beware of Darkness. Zach was promoting The Hangover Part III. Not sure what Jim was promoting.

This guy is hilarious! I didn't know that he's this naturally funny 😄

Hes a gem. Cheers from canada

Anything that comes out of his mouth is funny, without effort! This guy is unintentionally hilarious.

I would’ve done his jail time for him to see the headline: Two New York men beat unconscious by comedian Zach Galifianakis

He's one of the the Coolest actor in Hollywood!🔥

Conan The Legend

I absolutely love this man

"I don't know if you've ever been spit on your face......non sexually".....lmao!

Hollywood: this is a cute story of redemption The Real World: if you have seen our son, we miss him, please bring him home to us safely

He really had pain but he told A light story sobriety is no joke and people make jokes about it . God for you Zach

I feel like Zach was on the verge of being out of breath just sitting there.

Even more important to lay off drinking this New Year’s Eve because this year you REALLY don’t want someone spitting in your face lol

Happy New Years Eve Everyone Stay Safe An God Bless 🙏

love zach!

Zach is truly funny, whacking a jag, what were you thinking🤣

The best reason to quit drinking is to just stop drinking. I did it and havent looked back. What a difference it makes to not willfully use one of worst poisons to the human body.

What a lovely man

When he said there was about 20 things I felt that. 20 that you remember and probably 100 that you don't.

Love both these guys.

Man, he is so cool when his real self comes out.

Y'know what I just realized, Zack has the same mannerisms of Gene Wilder during talk show interviews in that when he tells a joke, he'll smile and peer off to the side almost as if to see if people are laughing along with him at his joke. lol Go look up a Gene Wilder interview, he does it too. I wonder if it's natural to Zack or if it's intentional.

Zach is a really cool guy

I appreciate this greatly.

Even when he's trying not to be funny, he's hilarious. Comic genius.

I'm giving it up today! First day is always the worst!

This just makes me happy ❤️😆

Brave for sharing
