ABOUT LATE NIGHT WITH CONAN O’BRIEN
Running from 1993-2009, Late Night with Conan O’Brien is one of the most beloved late night shows in television history. Known for its absurdist humor, hilarious celebrity interviews and featuring the best stand-up comedians and musical acts of the ‘90s and early 2000s. Hosted by Conan O’Brien alongside sidekick Andy Richter and house band Max Weinberg and the Max Weinberg 7, Late Night with Conan O’Brien featured unforgettable segments like “If They Mated”, “In the Year 2000”, “Desk Drive”, and made a breakout star of Triumph the Insult Comic Dog.
Every time this kid comes on, it's pure chaos. I can't believe it's all even real. We need Conan to talk about this kid and all these segments on the podcast.
He's 45 now so calling him a kid might be inaccurate
IIRC this might not even be the most disastrous interview with this guy. I remember another one where an animal ran away and the guy was just like “uh… this is fine, let’s just bring out the next one,” and ultimately there were just too many animals for them to keep track of. One of them even flew into the audience.
I always imagine he was a zoo janitor who stole abunch of animals and then talked his way into Conan's show.
@@flxsemi653yep, I wasn't sure if he was joking or not but Googs confirms he was born in ‘78.
hahahahahaha@@codyleslie478
Most late night hosts wouldn't have this dude back on their show after a segment with so many wildcard moments, but Conan had this guy back several times over the years. Always incredible to watch.
Conan's the type that's always willing to go the extra mile for his fans
wrong
I’m sure that Conan loved the chaotic nature of the whole thing.
@@kstepko anything for the ratings
Jared is comedy gold
I saw in the comments that the poor animal guy almost cried and was afraid to watch cuz i hate it when people embarrass themselves but Conan's joke was so kind and helped him recover that it was actually funny and cathartic to watch. We need more people like Conan.
Conan was so DEEPLY kind to him.
Hes so sweet! I feel awful he didnt think he did a good job. Who wouldn't be a little awkward on TV? The love he has for animals is true and shows
I think it added to the show being funny, which is the whole point
Feel sad for the animals. They don’t want to be there
The entire problem was because of Conan. Who in their right mind shouts and screams and makes sudden movements around these type of animals? All he had to do was sit there and let to guy teach us about animals but Conan made sure it was all about him and made it chaotic af
Awwww the poor guy lol Conan handled that well. He knew right away to say "the next time you come on..." because he did look like he was gonna cry
Absolutely!! I thought the same thing. Conan saw he was upset, and immediately let him know he was okay and not getting fired from being a guest again!
I always noticed how at the end of the segment he was really upset. He knew he messed up big time, and he looked like he was about to cry. And once again, when Conan had the opportunity to react in any way he wanted, he could of torn his head off for that, but no, he invited him back and made him laugh and calmed him down. ♥️ And that wasn't just to move the show along, he could have done that in a myriad of ways. I watched over the years, he repeatedly chooses kindness. I mean maybe it's mixed in with a little hostility sometimes, but still! Once again, Conan is all class.
Amazing point! I was waiting for him to berate him but he didn't lol
I think Conan saw it too. If he would’ve been laughing or playing down the situation, Conan would have (jokingly) berated him. Instead, he saw the emotion and decided for a different approach.
"When" we have you back next time.
Conan's chaotic energy didn't help when trying to keep animals calm when they're brought to a studio full of bright lights and loud humans, so I'm sure he knew he was partly responsible lol
He was almost killed by the rattle snake. 11
I always remember the chaotic energy every time this dude shows up at late night. His expertise is questionable but his heart is in the right place, such a great guests and Jarod Miller is pretty good too.
This comment deserves more likes.
🤣🤣 Well done!😆
I always assumed it was a bit & another guy on/by stage was the real handler? Like the guy who held the kangaroo’s tail
@@CantTellYou No, Jarod Miller is legitimately an animal handler, he's had a bunch of shows on Animal Planet and similar channels
To be fair, Conan is like doing every single thing somebody could do to make animals uncomfortable, lol. I love the guy but he's got some weird vibes in this one
5:19 The way Andy just noped out of there lmfao that was so smooth
LOL. As soon as he saw the kangaroo he was like "Nope, not dealing with this shit today"
the lion turning into a housecat the second he saw Andy was one of the cutest moments in tv history
The ease in which Conan fatherly-ly picked Jarod up made me laugh a little too hard 😂😂❤🤣 6:29
It was kinda hot ngl
@@l.l.a.s3645why are you gay ?
That part has me in stitches, lmao! Just grabbed him and lofted him over back behind the chair. "I got you, little buddy!" 😂😂
I fuxking died!
@@l.l.a.s3645omg I agree
Let's discuss Andy's legend status: An angry lion crawled into his nuts, and he pets it like it's some giant clumsy corgi that just needs some naptime.
I was thinking the same thing!:) Balls on that Andy!
Yeah he deserves big credit for this but nothing.😢
You do you. Don't go "let's"...
How does Andy fit an entire Lion into his nuts😂
@@GOLVELThey are. The correct response would be to not comment under their thread when they made the thread for a specific discussion.
“Jarrod have a seat.” Honestly so amazing. Conan has the kindness AND talent to let the show go on and make sure the zookeeper is okay
I was worried about Conan's exaggerated movements possibly exciting the animals. And THEN I was impressed by how protective Conan is of other people when Conan continually ushered Jarod to safety and picked Jarod up to bring him to safety. And THEN I was impressed by Conan showing kindness to Jarod at the end. And impressed by the stage director or whoever it was who took the kangaroo away.
Absolutely, I was thinking Conan is doing everything wrong and then he comes in clutch when it most mattered, great clip.
…. That horny, pubescent, loose kangaroo with the toenail that he uses to knock off testicles? Lmao this bit was hilarious. Glad everyone made it out alive 😂
Yeah, all that hand waving, especially in front of the rattlesnake, was concerning.
Late night is too underrated. The zoo definitely sent their rookie zookeeper. This is beyond hilarious and out of control
The producers probably requested the rookie zookeeper too. They were twisted like that.
@@peggynunez391 I wonder if Conan was in on it too? lol
I bet you Conan knew what he was in for lmfaoo
Probably just an intern or a volunteer at the zoo. He's a wild card
i remember that this guy had his own show, i used to watch it all the time as a kid, he actually had a much better control during that than during his appearances on Conan, mainly because he was just going around visiting animal experts with the animals that they cared for.
omg his face at 7:25 this poor guy was about to cry and Conan saved him with that joke...
give him a break he's a teenager 💀 ...at 45 that is.
@@ernestkhalimov9368 The crazy thing is I looked it up and he was born in 78. Which means this year he _is_ 45!
It's all prepared. It's scripted.
@@Mario_N64buddy, letting an angry roo loose in a room of 50 uninsured people is definitely not scripted and if it were to injure someone would have likely shut down this whole show
@@neck51 There's no way they would let a rattlesnake get that close to untrained people. It was obviously defanged. The kangaroo was trained. It was a scripted bit.
In so many of these animal clips, the animals tend to just go and sit with Andy. Probably because he's so calm lol.
Red kangaroo's here in Australia are very aggressive. When they grip you with their arms and do that hug thing. It usually means they are gonna use their lower legs to clawn down your abdomen and basically gut you.
Really?? Damn, they're so cute I would never guess how vicious they are
@@thomassantino392 there’s this viral video of a dog owner trying to rescue his dog from a Kangaroo holding its head underwater to drown it. Luckily the dog managed to escape edit: l the owner got punched as well If I’m not mistaken
@@thomassantino392Wallabys are cute. Kangaroo? Never
@@thirstaefortae5057 there's another video of a roo holding a guy's dog in a chokehold. The dude waltzed up to it and put his dukes up... then he punched him in the face. He punched the roo, that is. Then the roo let the dog go. Search "guy punches kangaroo". He has a flannel shirt and ball cap on backwards. The guy is wearing a flannel shirt and hat. Not the roo.
How can u not love Jarrod Miller. He's just awesomely clumsy with the animals but he loves them. He tries to give his best expertise on them while they simultaneously try to bite,kick, climb, claw and eat him. He's great, wouldnt have anyone else present exotic and dangerous animals.
wait so he WAS a real “trainer” or whatever? I always assumed it was a bit & another guy on/by stage was the real handler
I would be clawing and biting if I was chained and forced to be on a show. End animal exploitation!
@@straberryshinigami15g97 i did feel pretty bad for how freaked out they were by the crowd. Conan wasn't helping when he started freaking out, but I'd probably do the same lol
Maybe increase animal consumption.
i do think hes an expert in his study. Just not his taming.
The animal handler/comedian guy was usually funny from what I remember but I can't get over how Conan just picked him up like a toy like he was playing the claw machine to save him.😂😂😂😂😂😂
Its been a classic NBC thing for decades. Jack Hannah was one I remember the most. His Shtick was always chaotic and seemingly about to get the Host mauled or killed. XP
The "I'm 43" joke was so goddamn funny. He's like Liz Lemon's talent agent from 30 Rock. Just a kid in child's clothing.
Conan is a class act. In everything I read of him, whether it’s on camera or off, a publicized story or just rumors from staff, he is apparently a stand up guy and hilarious to boot. The world doesn’t realize what we have with him, and what we’ll lose when he’s gone
And love to mocked harvard...while graduating from it. Just very un-harvard like😂
I've always just thought of him as another talk show host but after seeing him go all out on his recent Hot Ones appearance I've got a new respect for the guy, and now seeing more of his backlog and his relentless passion to entertain for more than 25 years he's gone from a talk show host to one of my favourite celebrities ever.
Aw poor guy you can see he was about to cry at the end but luckily Conan was really nice about it.
If that other, calmer handler hadn't been there, this wouldn't have ended well. 😐 He didn't do a great job at all; had no control and stressed the animals out even more than they already were.
@@PeachPlastic that is very true
@@PeachPlasticanimal segments and talk shows are notoriously a bad mix, every time it’s really difficult for the handler to impose a presence on the animal because there’s just a complete sensory overload with the lights, crowd, unfamiliar faces etc. The handler had control over all the animals besides the kangaroo, which idk who you blame but the whole “he’s in mating season” and his collar being loose, sounds like someone fucked up along the way. He always has a firm hand and he leads the animals when needed it’s just that that kangaroo was always gonna be outve control lol. Really the whole revolving door of animals whilst trying to give out tidbits about them way of presentation can’t attract respectable institutions, not that that’s the handlers fault.
4:33 - I love how chill Andy is with the young lion in contrast to the other two.
He and the lion connected instantly😂
He's a Swedish-German after all
@@puneetmishra4726His father also taught Russian at Indiana University. A cosmopolitan King.
real goring energy
@@puneetmishra4726 Swedish natives and German natives live and work and play amongst wild lions? Is that true?
5:18 Andy being silently efficient as always.😅
😂😂😂😂
Followed by “now, that was a lion”😂
LMAO he fucking dipped out immediately🤣
@@cole6122 Wearing a serial killer's smile as he scales that couch like its some stairs 😂
"nope"
I'm 43 and I've never seen an animal segment on a talk show go off without a hitch. In fact, I watched this one back in 2000 and was just dying laughing during the whole thing. Working with kids and animals is always semi-controlled chaos.
Isn't that why they do these? For the reactions?
The horror of Conan's scream after the snake tried to bite him gets me.
This guy was always a great guest. It always felt like it was a moment away from something terrible happening
There has never been a better duo for animal segments. Andy casually stepping in and holding the leash to assist, and Conan is easily the bravest late night host when it comes to animals. Both of the Jimmy’s just clearly are so terrified when they have to do an animal segment.
Andy is such a good sport. I love how he just started petting the lion casually like a dog.
Jungle Jack and Dave take it. Sorry.
It helps that Andy and Conan are huge guys.
@@calixa Yes! I still crack up watching Dave and Jack
Jarod and Conan are like the kid versions or lite versions of Jungle Jack Hanna & Dave Letterman doing this back on the Ed Sullivan show 😂😂❤
It kept being crazy!!! I did not expect each animal to be really intense, and I dont think I can say I would have handeled any of those situations with that much grace. When Conan noticed the Kangaroo at the end was becoming too much he actually intervened and lifted the guy over to saftey when it got out of hand. Huge respect to him for doing that and handling the whole episode so well.
Really weird that the animals were intense I thought they would love being dragged out on a TV set Infront of an audience
i did not expect the animals not in their proper habitat to act crazy and uncomfortable due to not being in their natural habitat and forced to perform for a human audience. Who woulda thought?
Conan has literally no fear of animals. I would have been 2 miles away when that rattlesnake started taking swipes. Conan just pretty much sat there. Balls of steel!
4:37 Jarod Miller is actually 45 now. We’ve come full circle.
@@DK-bg4qb Jarod or Conan? This aired in February 2000. Jarod was 21. Conan was 36. Time flies.
yeah, i thought he couldn't be 45 in this video, searched up his age and voila, he's 45 now 😂
Saw his linkedin....hes hot af
Jarrod is such a brave lightweight. The animals just ragdoll him all the time and Conan lifted him like a baby. So funny to watch.
🤎
Conan is such a pro, keeping his cool and keeping everyone entertained through all that. What a brave guy.
looked up this guy's age after he joked that he was 45, and he is 45 now
Conan’s kindness to him when his team goofed/sensitivity to an embarrassing moment is why Conan is the best late night host. Also, can we give kudos to the dude who grabbed the kangaroo by the tail and yanked him off stage?
I love Conan, but his energy is not what you want around wild animals 😂😂
The amount of times he screamed in the animals faces and whipped his hands at them 😂 And he immediately squared up to box with the kangaroo 😂
Exactly lolll
Exactly
Bringing wild animals onto a TV show where they're clearly extremely distressed... Is not what you want to do with 'wild' animals
honestly he is brave af. he jokes around and makes himself look clumsy, but most people would freak the fuck out in this scenario.
3:12 oh, man that’s an appropriate reaction!! 😂
This is so chaotic, I love it, hahaha "just pet him he's alright" as it swings at both of them, lmao
Conan is always a class act. Lifts him behind the couch and then reassures him at the end.
2:28 - Andy saw the rattlesnake and got the hell outta there XD
'Jarrod, take a seat..' exactly what he needed 😅 The guy is like 45 now, but that moment was priceless and eternal.
Omg that capuchin was so sweet!!! He just wanted to lay down for cuddles and be loved
I miss Conan on late night. Best to ever do it
Facts!
well, I mean, Johnny Carson . . . like, I love Coco as much as the next person. he's really become something more than an entertainer; he's like the world's favorite wacky uncle who also happens to be extremely bright and sensitive and tone-perfect for the situation. but I mean . . . Johnny Carson, right? if Conan ever read someone was saying he was a better Late Night talk show host than Johnny, I think he'd go find you personally to comically berate you for it on camera. so actually maybe keep it up? that'd be awesome.
Craig Ferguson is no.1....... Conan is no.2
my favorite was that they kept in the year 2000 going, after 2000
David Letterman!! Especially when he had Jack Hanna on the show. Hilarious!
Andy smiling like the little boy who knows this is his idea and knew it would turn out *just* like this
"Is he trying to have sex with you?!" LOL! 🤣 Love the way that Conan pulled the guy back to rescue him. lol
You can tell how much Jarod cares for animals. He's on stage getting the shit kicked out of him by a kangaroo, but he keeps insisting "HE's alright, HE's alright." Dude, we're not worried at all about the kangaroo, we know he's ok.
The joke he made about him being 45 years old, well I googled the guy and guess what! He is 45 years old now LMAO
Jared, the animal expert's facial expression 7:11 😂💀 Thank God the other handler was there. Could you imagine if that kangaroo went for the audience members?
Yes I can. It would’ve been awesome
"Nope." -Jordan Peele
No need to be scared of an animal defeated simply by lifting its tail.
@@Vexas345it has sharp claws and could at the very least strike anyone before they react.
someone in that audience wouldve boxed that kangaroo up. lol@@vergil1155
Has anyone else mentioned Conan about to yell “OH FUCK” at 7:04 lmao
Conan handled that amazingly. So kind when that guy messed up bad. Accidents happen but damn.
Lmao I love Andy Richter just standing off to the side smiling watching the chaos from afar. Whenever Conan tells the story about the Water Bull Incident, he talks about everybody was like "yeah, go ahead and get on the water bull" and at the last moment Andy was like "don't get on that thing" but Conan did anyway. So the moral of the story is, if Andy is avoiding something, listen to Andy.
Conan is such a good sport in these animal segments. All talk show hosts do them, and they’re always scared to engage at all but Conan embraces the situation. Legend.
Man, Conan is the best. He was really nervous after the incident and Conan assured him everything was fine inviting him back.
This is actually really well done, no animals hurt but still a hint of danger and chaos sprinkled with sarcastic humor
Animal segments were always my favorite in talk shows, but no one can top Conan's. This guy's inability to control the animals is always chaotic and fun. 🤣
I love how as soon as the kangaroo shows up, Andy is like, 'I'm just going over the couch, laters!'
You know the best thing about this, is I think Conan understand exactly what it's like to be around 30 and in national television, really shows how truthful his empathy torwards Jarod was
everytime I see andy interact with an animal he has this amazing power to calm them near him its amazing!
I will not deny the fact that I am thoroughly enjoying the resurgence of old Conan interview clips and new Conan podcast clips releasing simultaneously. 💯💯
ive been hella depressed lately so these have been wonderful
3:48 that slow zoom on conan always kills me LMAO
If I was the camera man I’d be thrilled you noticed my comedic timing lol
6:54 😶 Can't beat that logic... Conan: [DONE!!!]
I love how calm and gentle Andy is with all the animals. Such a sweet soul!
Conan is an absolute great person. He saw that guy about to break and invited him back. Class
Conan was very brave. Every other late night host would've left the building.
He only made 12:30 money, so he NEEDED that 12:30 money!😂
I feel like he wanted to do it as well as Carson did.
This is by far the greatest late night show america has ever had… you can compare it to anything. Conan is a fucking legend 😂
That closeup after Jarod makes the venom joke.. genius.
Conan: "You're an animal expert?" Jarod: fuckin' right.
😂😂😂
Pure chaos and I loved every minute of it 😂
Too funny, Conan grabbing an dragging Jerod over the back of the chair to save him. Shear reaction. Conan's a hero!
That is just bonkers that a venomous rattle snake was that close to Conan and actually struck at him! I cannot believe that happened! 😱
and he put his freaking hand right in front of it (3:05) this could've gone pretty bad :D
Live in Florida . Human Male has about 20-30 minutes to receive anti-venom before Breathing will begin to Cease, These Reptiles are no Joke.
It had to be de-venomed. There's no way a guest would be allowed to put anyone in that kind of danger.
@@shanedoe3462 I'm not sure, those were still the wild days. Either way he could've got bitten, which is not pleasant to say the least
@@the_original_dude Yeah, but there's no way the producers would have allowed a DEADLY snake onto Conan's desk. It's akin to pointing a loaded gun at someone's head. I've worked with venomous reptiles and even opening the enclosure to feed them requires two people to be there, a refrigerator with anti-venin on premises and a strict protocol of paying attention to what you're doing. Like, you don't take your eyes off it for a second because they can whip around with lighting speed and bite. There's no way it had venom (or possibly even fangs). Pouring a rattle snake on someone's desk (who wasn't even prepared) is attempted murder. Also, the enclosure he had it in was just a Rubbermaid container. A snake can pop those lids off very easily. Transporting venomous snakes is dangerous business. There's just no way it was venomous.
yeah, he looked like he might have gotten hurt, and then was a little upset after the kangaroo got away from him, but every single time this guy came on the show it was always an absolute riot and made for incredible television.
Freaking hilarious chaos, I couldn’t stop😂
This is gold lol Conan was a king of late night television
Jarod looks like he's about to cry towards the end. Don't blame him though- that segment really got away from him.
No it didn't. People are so gullible.
@@the406seadonkey6 What are you saying? That the whole segment was staged? Even the unpredictability of wild animals? Really?
@@the406seadonkey6okay, I'll trust you stranger, since I'm not gullible like you, I will abide by your word
@@delilh325 Blow me, smart ass. You aren't as bright as you think you are.
he's playing along
it had so much incidents but the kangaroo incident was totally the name for it
When the rattlesnake threw himself towards Conan I just lost it! 😂😂😂
Conan's humor isn't really my humor but I still watch him all the time. Something about him just has me always coming back
So sweet the way the African Lion burrows right into Andy’s lap❤
The second the lid came off of the rattlesnake box Andy was out of there lol
Poor kid looks devastated at the end 😢 But he bounced back!
I absolutely love when Conan has animals it’s always chaos lol
Conan saved his life that day😂. And animals seem to like Andy very much.
Conan was always refreshing with the animal segments, he didnt pretend to be scared of every single animal for the camera, only the ones you'd actually think were dangerous or creepy, and even then he doesnt run a mile and stays engaged
Conan saved him! Such a class act he is!🌺
Jarod is a gem.
I share the sentiment of others. Late Night with Conan was truly a one of a kind television show that is dearly missed.
Jarod’s face is priceless at the end
The lion rushing away from Conan´s freckles to snuggle with Andy calmed me down, we cool guy, we cool.
I love how comforting andy is to the big kitty... ❤️ ❤❤... It's like instinct sure will even know that animal could probably screw him up. He's just a baby and he's looking for comfort. And andy just like, picks up on it...
6:24 shout out to conan for lifting the guy behind the couch so he would not get kicked anymore
"You're a bad animal guy!" 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
He looked so defeated by the end of it. He did such a good job!!!! Hes bringing awareness and showing off these beautiful animals
I can’t remember when I have laughed so hard! 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
When the Kangaroo takes his collar off you can actually hear Conan going "oh fffffff..."
This is the best animal expert segment I’ve ever seen.
Conan’s come such a long way with his comfort on set. He was still funny back then but after years of experience his timing really got a lot better.
They NEED to find this dude again! 😂
i got so anoyed with the awkwardness of Conan handling the monkey but later i realized he was in perfect character to fit the overall theme of chaos 😂😂
what awkwardness?
@@liana7529 awkwardnis*
2:57 "Hey buddy " 💀🐍 😂
3:13 when 300,000 years of your ancestors yell inside your brain at the same time
Thanks for the laugh before bed!
