1930s Crooner Artie Kendall's Inappropriate Classics | Late Night with Conan O’Brien 

My Brian Stack story. One morning, back when Conan was still doing Late Night on NBC, l got off the train at Grand Central, and as l’m walking up the platform l recognized this actor (l didn’t at the time know he was also a writer) whose work I loved on Conan. I plucked up me courage and approached him and asked if it was indeed he, and indeed it was. He couldn’t have been nicer, as l conveyed my fandom. So, he gave me his number to call for tickets, l subsequently did so, and had a delightful conversation with him, going back to the days of the Embryonic Polka-dotted Rockabilly Fighter Pilots. The tickets came through, l went to the show, called him later to thank him, and again had a wonderfully enjoyable conversation. It may sound silly, but there was a kind of magic about it, being able to speak at length with someone so central to all those years of entertainment, and his being so receptive and kind. Summer Colors Frankenstein!

"Hitlery-Hoo." 🤣🤣🤣

"I *was* murdered." Gets me every damn time lol

I love how every iteration of this sketch is basically the same as the other ones and it works every time.

I’m most impressed that Artie seemed to know what DNA was in the 1930s!

His calm soothing vocal inflections make this even funnier.

I remember seeing a clip of this on RU-vid at the time and I howled with laughter at how Conan plays along and reacts in horror to each ending of the song, particularly "Drownity-Mick." 😂 Watching it in 2024, howling with laughter all over again. 😂

Well of course the Irish have hot tempers, that's why their nation is called Ire Land.

1:00 That's a Neville Chamberlain classic.

Brian Stack is an absolute gem

I love Conan's silly bits. Specifically these ones!! Such gold!!

Needs to be a supercut of all the Artie segments

I find it hilarious that DNA's exact function was not exactly well known during Artie Kendall's time, but still used it to make a racist jab at the Irish.

Brian Stack is a goddamn legend, a gem, and a multi-talented artist who still works steadily for the Late Show. Clearly this was just added to the channel because of all of the attention Brian Stack is getting. All of the bootleg copies of this sketch on other channels were getting too many views. I for one am glad Conan's Hot Ones was such a success (of course it was) so that his and Stack's work can be shared again and again. Now stop reading this if you're still here and go watch CONAN O'BRIEN MUST GO on MAX

Great - now I’ll be humming ‘Oh Irishmen have Monkey DNA!’ all day long!

Ending the song with “Hitleryhoo”… 🤌

Only the 2nd HD official clip, wow!

Drownity-mick got me good!

Stack was gold, especially WikiBear.

Brian Stack is awesome.

So all his songs are 100% accurate

Whoa, didn't realize they were filming this in HD in 2007. I've watched 480i versions of this so many times, crazy to see it this clear and crisp.

Drownd-ity Mick 😅

He just needed to cry, "Give me a C, a bouncy C!"

The way Artie looks down to focus on hitting the note just right during “Hitlery Hoo” is hilarious! 🤣🤣

a great Bing Crosby impression.

"Sing it to the tune of 'Grandma Got Run Over by a Reindeer'. C'mon, y'all know it".

We need this back on network TV. Conan always cracks me up.

Even just the first ba-ba-ba-boooo is already pretty funny. Stack is great.

There’s some compilation of all these here. It’s my most watched video after the Interrupter compilation!

Your videos age gracefully still very sharp and crisp!

WOW, Artie Kendall - that guy is old-radio-croon-tastic! 👍

Im so glad you uploaded one of this skits, this racist, horrible ghost is the best Artie Kendall thing to me, after The Interruptor.

i remember these live! what a great find

Hitlery Hoo, Stenchedy Stew and Drownadee Mick. They're in my head now.

LNWCOB is such an underrated gem even though it was well known. The era around the 2000s especially with the all stars Stack, Glaser, McCann, Blitz etc.

"And beg for Hitler's mercy on our knees." LOL! Total irredeemable cowardice is tight!

That’s bloody hilarious.

The best Conan character.

Classic Conan.

more brain stack and other writers bits pls❤

Ol' Rusty Steel! 😆

The Country Music skit from Key and Peele was watching :)

That second song hits though

This ongoing bit is in a 3-way tie for favorite of all time with In the Year 2000, and his staring contests with Andy

"I'm surprised you weren't murdered." "I was murdered."

That kinda went hard at the end

Our dear ghost 😂😂😂😂😂 dear con ❤❤❤❤

Stenchity-stew is my new favorite phrase.

It's somehow more surreal and unhinged in HD.

That soft Bing Crosby

So much better than car-pool karaoke.

Brian Stack is a real hoot with Colbert. I didn't realize he worked with Conan.

*hilarious!*

Turns out it's pretty easy to be a songwriter if you use the exact same tune every time.

“Hitlery-hoo” killed me dead

Artie rules.

That is pure comedy gold. He should do a song about gypsies and Slavs next. LOL

Didn't Brian also do the name that tune singer skit where Conan goes into the stands and picks someone to play?

Brian Stack is my favorite late-night 'unknown' that everybody knows. I don't think I've seen him do anything that wasn't funny.

What’s funny!? These songs are gold 😮

Stenchadeescoot

"Stenchity-Stew!"

Start of the song is similar to butters song from South park

Pretty sure Richard Cheese did the singing for this segment.

🤣🤣

I *was* murdered

😂

😂😂😂

Wait a second...Artie Kendall mentioned DNA, which wasn't discovered until 1953....

Sounds like a song Harrison Butkner would write.

What makes this truly funny, is that Conan is the object of frank racism between two white guys. THAT'S comedy.

Big bad Conan isn't doing his show live from Haiti? Huh?

Conan alwasys has hope for the " Song for the Ladies."🤔😳😳😳

Stack does Bing Crosby better than Bing Crosby.

2:30 Even Conan thought that was funny

Four legs good, two legs bad.

All of those lyrics sound, 100%, like Conon himself wrote them. Hitlery-hoo!

ba ba ba boo

It’s the same song every time lmao

lol

i just saw this dude on stephen colbert

Funny its always the same beat for all the songs!

Ba ba ba booo-

Watched 'Conan O'Brian Must Go' and it feels weird without a laugh track.

Family guy already did this years ago.

Now we literally have people who once again are of the belief that everyone should surrender because "Russia strong grrr."

Based ghost

I love Brian Stack. He's doing an AWESOME job on The Late Show with Stephen Colbert.

Woohoo!

America First!

I demand they publish the "It sounds like this song, but definitely isn't" ones hahahah Brian Stack is fucking gold.

I can rarely stand Conan, but this was funny.

Wikibear!

You know, Conan's NBC show had so many great characters that didn't follow him to TBS. I guess NBC owned the characters?

Hi

Hitlery-Hoo

Brilliant bits like this is why Conan should have stayed in NYC at 12:35 he was Stupid to take The Tonight Show he dumbed down his comedy tried to make it middle of the road white bread humor same mistake Leno made when he got The Tonight Show. Conan would still be on NBC at 12:35 if he had stayed where he belonged. This show had brilliant comedy every night.

That song about women. I feel attacked.

Hitlery-hoo
