He didn't get to be Conan's sidekick, but he will be Conan's final guest ever.

[khairulansharymd]

This is not the best interview in the world. It is a tribute.

[GaryTurbo]

"Sorry guys, no gaming videos today"
-Jack Black

[ericg]

Jimmy Fallen modeled his entire late night persona off of this tape. 4:50

[toothpastehombre]

Not a single ounce or smidgen has changed, Jack Black is the most genuine guy out there

[jeffapellido]

Back when people thought something was probably wrong with him and didn't realize yet that he was just Jack Black.

[JustinJorgensen]

2:28 Jack Black's mom was ahead of the rest! Identity theft in 2k! They made fun of her but she was on it!

[CollectFail]

Hilarious to hear that Bob Odenkirk actually wrote the sidekick-bit for Jack Black!

[bijibadness]

Kyle Gass deserves a prolonged twelve-minute ovation for creepily rising behind the couch like that. what is WITH those people? hello???

[TheMijman]

21 years later, he apologizes.

Outstanding.

[wallstaple]

“Just try and relax. I worry about you; I don’t want anything to happen to you”
This line here on Jack’s first late night appearance and how Jack’s Conan’s late night finale appearance went 21 years later… absolute poetry

[andrewmgsa]

That song “I’m a side kick, at the end of the couch, when you kick me I say ouch” has been stuck in my head for 19 years when I saw this. I’ve been searching the web for years looking for this hilarious clip! Finally!!! Love it !!!

[NZXT]

To think that this was almost 20 years ago is mind boggling

[nasrirosman]

When Jack makes an imaginary nun-chucks, I do believe there are nun-chucks there

[jeffgoldblum]

It's crazy that Jack's 50 now, this is the jack I grew up with, it makes me happy to he has his family and kids now and he's still a fun guy

[lupitaservin]

Who else is here after seeing Jack Black on Conan's final show on TBS? I LOVE that this is jb's first tv show appearance and he was the last guest for Conan 🥺❤

[gusterguy]

You can tell this is Jack's first time doing a show like this. He's such a master or being interviewed at this point in 2019, its so fluid and natural. You can tell he had all his funny sayings planned here.

[Platinum_Tugboat]

Ahhh the 2000's where identity theft wasn't a known issue.
How things have changed..

[jeffgoldblum]

He's like Chris Farley's chill pothead brother, love him

[danchristian]

I love that Jack Black is wearing super baggy 90’s jeans 👌🏼
