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.

[MediaPastimes]

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.

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.

5:19 The way Andy just noped out of there lmfao that was so smooth

[StormDatIsApproaching]

the lion turning into a housecat the second he saw Andy was one of the cutest moments in tv history

[Madcat]

omg his face at 7:25 this poor guy was about to cry and Conan saved him with that joke...

[Laura-kgle]

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

[sarahjulianne]

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.

3:13 when 300, 000 years of your ancestors yell inside your brain at the same time

'Jarrod, take a seat..' exactly what he needed 😅 The guy is like 45 now, but that moment was priceless and eternal.

4:33 - I love how chill Andy is with the young lion in contrast to the other two.

The ease in which Conan fatherly-ly picked Jarod up made me laugh a little too hard 😂😂❤🤣

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.

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.

[joshlarson]

Idk why but this video makes me almost cry. Conan is so incredibly kind to Jared in this video. The kid was embarrassed and ashamed, and Conan couldn’t watch him go through that on television. That was such a beautiful, human moment.

[Jrfan]

Late night is too underrated. The zoo definitely sent their rookie zookeeper. This is beyond hilarious and out of control

[darkin]

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.

[cald]

“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

[FutureAbe]

3:47 Conan’s reaction to the joke is just incredible

[mudvalve]

3:12 oh, man that’s an appropriate reaction!! 😂
