Hey guys! Thank you so much for the love on this new video. I'll be making a lot more content moving forward so please consider subscribing!

I find the stark contrast between Conan and Ellen Degeneres very interesting. Ellen's entire on-stage personality was how kind and generous she was and it turns out she was an abusive asshole when the cameras weren't rolling. Meanwhile Conan's on-stage personality was a horrible boss and an annoying creep and it turns out he's genuinely kind guy who's also a great boss.

I hope Conan sees this and knows how much he’s appreciated and admired.

[NickPR]

I've always loved how he's genuinely attempting to hold an actual conversation with his guests, allows them to talk and it's just not pathetic pandering or inauthentic rapport. The reason the skits with staff and interns worked so well was because they all understood his style of comedy and legitimately respected and appreciated the guy. He's just an overall credit to humanity!

I recently watched Conan on Hot Ones and it just reinforced why he’s my favorite. He loves people. I have no idea why, but he does and it shows.

"intersection between smart and stupid is the most beautiful thing in the world"

Conan is truly one of the humans of all time

There's been a lot of Conan love lately on YouTube and I'll never get sick of it. Conan is the undisputed king. Long live Team Coco

[SaracenCount]

He is the only talk show host to actually care about Comic Con, play a clueless video gamer, travel the world, and make comedy wherever, and give his staff airtime whenever he can. He is the best.

I remember a Conan remote where he goes to a etiquette school or something on those lines and asks a young girl if she can demonstrate her Irish dancing or something like that and when he notices she is embarrassed and awkward he deflects it onto himself and dances really stupidly to make the kid laugh and make her feel better about the situation, he truly is a great guy

Conan’s monologues were never super strong. But when he is unscripted, doing interviews or his remotes, he just absolutely crushes it. I think he’s genuinely just such a kind and funny person. Love to see some Conan appreciation posts.

He, to me, is a total delight. Has provided so many laughs. No friend in my circle, nor family member, feels as I do. But that doesn’t deter me. They must have something wrong with them. Team Coco.

[Funzzies]

Conan felt like a friend we all knew. He is the greatest Late Night host.

[AmberKober]

The perfect Conan tribute. He genuinely helped me so much as a very lonely, depressed kid, I am not sure how I would have survived without his show, it was my biggest lifeline for so many years. I’m 37, that was a long time ago, it’s all good now, but I am forever grateful to Conan for making me feel less alone and like there were more people like me out there in the world 🧡

The episodes when the writers were on strike in 2007 were fantastic. He was at this best. Spinning his ring on the desk to having an audience member buying snacks at a vending machine to the German disco light shows to the zip line and having fans give him ideas on how to use it. It was genius

[CerpinTaxt-xuzk]

he's simply the greatest, not because he has a flashy, larger-than-life, superstar image, but because he's just himself and is so down to earth.

[snodahsc]

This feels like a love letter to Conan, even though it highlights his shortcomings. But that’s why we love him, he’s the people’s’ favourite because he treats others with respect and shows that he’s vulnerable.

Love ya, Conan!

Conan is just naturally endearing. He’s not shy to make fun of himself, not in a showy way but genuinely. He has this perfect blend of curiosity, awkwardness, intellect, wit, and most importantly - sincerity.

[sooyaaa]

Conan is the GOAT! despite all the horrible things Leno and NBC did to him, he never acted like a douchebag when he had all the reasons to be. There's no wonder why he's admired and loved by so many and has so many international fans like me. He is also Idol to so many new gen comedians. Team Coco forever!!!

He seems like the most genuine person not only of all late night hosts, but just in the entire tv industry

As somebody from India, I have never related to a talk show host, or found them funny. But I remember checking out a clip from Conan's show on youtube and then going down a rabbit hole of watching any and every content online related to him (Including his speech in university which was so inspiring). I have so much love and respect for the guy.
