When you realize "Snakes on a plane" stole their plot from a Conan interview... Amazing.

[cozyallyson]

I'm only 3 minutes in and this is one of the best Stephen King interviews I've ever seen. He's so obviously intelligent and also undeniably hilarious

[JPMJPM]

I’ll bet he was kicking himself when Snakes on a Plane came out.

[heidinova]

"They're growing to the size of land turtles". ahahahha I laughed so much at this whole interview. I love Stephen King, avid reader of his books, and I love Conan!

[SyddViciouss]

“What’s that out there on the wing” 😂 LOVE HIM

[jakereynolds]

I can’t believe no one laughed at “we have to finish against ER” that was a banger

[xMrBungleXx]

I could totally see Stephen King doing a psychological horror story about someone slowly being driven to complete sloth from their La-Z-Boy, and the internal torment that overtakes them as they watch their entire life slowly fall to pieces as they spend more and more time in it and struggle harder and harder to get out of it every time.

Fun fact : Stephen King wrote *The Shining* after he had a nightmare in a hotel about his kid being chased by a fire hose.

“We don’t need to get into it, but because it’s my job we could get into it” that’s a man that loves what he does.

[antisoda]

So THAT'S where Snakes on a Plane came from! Somebody may owe someone royalties… :)

[sunilbisht]

Such a witty interview. 2 intellectuals talking. That banter..amazing!

[destroyerofnations]

Turns out more people are afraid of snakes than rats, and so we have Snakes on a Plane

[milo.ibrado]

Andy Richter was the cherry on top in this interview. Hilarious! 😂

[JediPhoenix]

"What's that out there on the wing?"
Sounds like a few people in the audience understood that reference.

Stephen King's "The Rats Are Loose on Flight 62" (10, 387 pages)

[ImGazu]

"You get in it and slowly realize you can't get out because little by little it is sucking you in.. to another.. dimension. WHERE THE RATS ARE LOOSE!"
I lost it

[-C.S.R]

He’s one of the greatest storytellers of all time!
Shawshank redemption and the
green mile are masterpieces!

[kevboard]

for real, this channel needs to have #DidNotDie or something in the title of old videos, because they post old clips whenever a celeb dies... but also randomly just posi old clips, it's very alarming each time 🤣

[rasaecnai]

Stephen King: Yeah but you dont want to hear that story.
Everyone: (leans forward) Tell me more.

[missmaddylou]

I would honestly read “The rats are lose on flight 62” Stephen King can make anything scary!
