these two have insane chemistry. I feel like they could talk for hours

[James-]

I had no idea Matthew Rhys was this funny. He's an Olyphant-level guest.

[jjunture]

Be honest, you included Matt and Sona’s names in the thumbnail just to taunt them because they weren’t there… as if to say “Hey Sona and Matt, look who I talked to without you!”

[googleyeyed]

I could listen to these two go on forever! Absolutely adore Matthew Rhys! ❤

[elizabethlarson]

Matthew Rhys has become one of my favorite Conan podcast guests. And I love that he discussed the impact of Richard Burton. One could argue that Burton and Elizabeth Taylor helped create the modern concept of fame. No one today can measure up to their level of fame, much less their talent.

[gearoidgalavan]

Ive actually just finished The Americans in which Matthew is superb i wasnt aware of him until i started watching the Americans im glad to find here that he has a real strong Welsh accent

[DreamerDebora]

One of my favorite interviews. I love the cadence in Matthew Rhys’ voice 😊

[jimbojones]

I don't think the title of this video is correct. He didn't mention Matt Gourley or Sona at all in this. It was about Welsh actors. No mention of his mustache. I'm confused. He was VERY funny though and I enjoyed his banter with Conan. So funny.

[mrangryface]

I wanted to use this space to say that tonight I finished Sona's book after a late discovery of this podcast series and her role in it and Conan's life and I loved it. I envy having a job that leads to friends of this kind- amazing. Also Sona should keep slacking forever.

[brittany]

I've literally been waiting for this since they all argued about not meeting Rhys.

[michinnunapaen]

conan brings out the best in matthew rhys' comedic side😂 their humor is on the same wavelength (other interviewers fell quite flat and they convos got nowhere...)

[leodegas]

🤣🤣🤣 came for the title, but stayed for the conversation.

I felt i was with my sisters sitting around the kitchen table and talking about the good ol days.

Great interview. 👍

[CheapPerfume]

Today i learned why matt gourley has a crush on Matthew Rhys- man's charming af

[RooftopsofAmerica]

I lived in DC metro area for 10 years and within the first few months all the monuments had just blended in with the background.

[Missjunebugfreak]

It's unfair for someone to be that insanely charming and funny. I have a crush on him now 😅🙈

[rinnypink]

He plays Americans a lot and does such a good accent I always forget he's Welsh.

[electrojones]

I saw Rhys in O'Neill's Wee Bloody Me in the role of the cuckolded shoe polisher. He was magnificent. Years later, I had the pleasure of seeing his turn in Ibsen's The Squealer playing the shirtless barfly romancing Selena Gomez as the dowager Aunt Rose. He's never been anything but amazing.

[moderatti]

Title has nothing to do with the video

Edit: In case they change it, original title and description were alluding to Sona/Matt not meeting Rhys. But the whole video is about him being Welsh with his son living in New York

[LycanLink]

Didn't Matt and Sona say they badly wanted to meet this guy? I expected to recognize him when I finally saw him on the podcast, but I have zero knowledge of who this guy could be.

[NowOnline]

Loved The Americans series. He and Keri were amazing in it. Also enjoyed her recent movie Cocaine Bear.
