Animal Expert Clyde Peeling: Chinchilla & Black-Headed Python | Late Night with Conan O’Brien

I love how conan just grabs them before he even learns if they can kill him

[ThatOneStuff]

I love how conan just holds them like its nothing, any other host would be losing their minds about it just being close to them.

[k.k.]

That’s honestly the chillest chinchilla I’ve ever seen

[KGisthename]

Gotta love Conan man. The man is quick witted, intentionally goofy, incredibly funny, but when he is talking about something serious he is such a caring and understanding guy that treats the segment with proper respect. He is smart as well leaving politics out of the show and segments. I think it would require quite a bit of an effort to find people that don't like him. The man is a national treasure.

Conan: Its taking my pulse.
Audience: **laughing**
Clyde: They actually do have venom.
Conan: **silence**

[mahmoudobiah]

it's wierd how it's the 100th time conan uses the " i hope that guy works for you " joke " yet i still enjoy it 😂

[mansharkplays]

One of the best chinchilla attitudes I've ever seen, just pure chill around human interaction

[sarsattacks]

@4:12
"Here's another potentially dangerous animal"
Conan: "Hm mm, I thought you meant her"

[konalily]

“Pale freckled cave” even at the most awkward/uncomfortable moments, Conan knows just what
to say🤣

[Froggyman]

Conan: "Waitwait, which is it a spider or a scorpion?"
The guy who's supposed to know: "Damned if I know"

I like this guy

[eviebee]

i love that conan doesn’t just do the “be scared and refuse to stand near the animals” bit that every night show does and actually handles them

[JM-ppry]

Imagine you as the chinchilla and you are just smeared across some mans face and then being sprinkled on with your own dust like your some sugar donut 😂😂😂😂😂

[MetalGuitarTimo]

"do a clucking noise to draw his attention"

whole audience starts clapping like idiots

[annabelle]

Love that Conan asks the animal expert questions and let’s them actually share about the animal

[kez]

Simply the best host
Has humor + timing
Isn't afraid of animals, so doesn't make a scene like the others
And the confidence he have is 101% out of 100%

[ducksauce]

I lostit when he starts pouring dust on the chinchilla like some seasoning on chicken 😅

[ujjawalsingh]

God damn.. he's not scared one bit.
Some other talk show clown would have called fire department with scream and giggles

Conan: Tell us about the eyes.
Guy: Well—
Conan: *WHO* *WHO* *WHO*
Guy: ...

[SanDhampir]

I love every time a cute fury animal comes on the show, Conan's first instinct is to rub his face against it.

[palimdragonmasterk]

Conan definitely lost his cool when he finds out they're venomous 😂
