Conan and Andy talk about their appearances on game shows in late 1999. (Hint: one of these appearances is real and one is fake - see if you can figure out which is which.)
Victor Charlie clearly you don't understand comedy.

Comedians are often very intelligent and educated people. You have to be. If you’re not well read, if you’re not fast.... people will not take you seriously.
Fun fact: Who Wants to be a Millionaire asked Conan if he wanted to make an appearance. He wanted to, but NBC didn't allow it due to Millionaire being on a competitor network.
classic conan aka the tonight show, was in a category of its own. you would wait for jay leno to be over to watch the main event conan. NBC is a weird ass company, jimmy fallon is not a conan what so ever, the late show of today isnt the late show of yesterday, 2ndly i havent watched the tonight show sence jay leno got it back, embassy fucked everything up, shit the more i think about it nbc should of left the original late night with conan alone, so lesson here dont shit were you eat
"you would wait for jay leno to be over to watch the main event conan" Spot on. As a kid, I would stay up late just so Conan would get on. Sometimes I would be freaking beat because I just didn't stay up that late for almost any reason, but Conan's show was always worth it. I've always preferred him and I have never liked Jay Leno. He may have gotten the better guests a lot of the time (like Robin Williams), but on his own, he was a boring entertainer. Craig Ferguson I started to really appreciate as well, to the point that I watched him more than Conan, but part of it was because eventually I couldn't get NBC where I lived due to the cable provider we were using. Now I watch Conan through RU-vid. Old clips, new ones, etc. Doesn't matter. He's still as good as he used to be (in fact he's better if you look exclusively at his remotes). I'll never grow tired of him.
This is so true. I discovered Conan around age 13 and thought it was the best. For the next many years, I had zero interest in that Leno guy, But if I could make it till 12:30 it was like a special occasion and I was never disappointed
oh my god this is old, never knew that Conan was on air this long (I'm from Croatia btw. and I don't get to watch american shows, so I have to wach them here on youtube :)) Cheers
And Andy's great too! I'm sad I grew up watching Conan without Andy for the most part (a few years before he left, and ever since he's been back of course, but there was more of a gap than not)
Max had some health issues (heart problems) and probably missed living in NJ, so he decided not to continue with Conan. Plus, he has the Bruce gig and other stuff to keep him busy.
What do you mean? Andy was there at the very beginning in 1993. He was one of the first writers hired and then when testing, they realized he would make a good sidekick with Conan (good chemistry) and Conan was nervous and needed someone sitting next to him. Then, he left in 2000 to pursue an acting career. He rejoined Conan for The Tonight Show in 2009 and has been with Conan since. You need to brush up on your Conan history, my friend. :)
On the subject of game shows, I think it was around 2010 that Andy actually taped a pilot for hosting a revival of "The $25,000 Pyramid". Unfortunately it didn't sell. The celebrities in the unsold pilot were Mo Rocca and Aisha Tyler.
lol , man I was watching this show on the regular back in '99-'03 and I remember when Max wasn't able to play and James was filling in, man I'm getting old!
@ConanVIDS do you have thet '99 jeopardy? I saw the bit on Late Night about Andy Prepping for it, but i missed the "Jeopardy" episode. Andy beat the hell out of the others; 14,000 more then 2nd place.
I remember back when Who Wants to be a Millionaire was popular, they asked Conan to be on the show. Conan wanted to go, but NBC wouldn't allow him to since Millionaire was on ABC...
It would have been nice if they could have had Conan appear really with Regis on the millionaire set and have a bit of fun with the sketch. ABC probably would not have allowed it?
Yeah! Conan was Andy's sidekick since the beginning of him hosting Late Night (early 90s)... Then he left for a long while to pursue other projects and then came back as sidekick when Conan became host of the Tonight Show for those six short months, and stayed with him when he moved to his current show on TBS!
He was always with the E-Street Band while having Conan's show as a side-gig but, yes, he does seem to not be dividing his time anymore to Conan which is a shame.
Someone should use this clip to correct Conan when he said he would've answered Freddy Krueger for that jeopardy question. Friday the 13th was Jason Voorhees not Freddy Krueger.
he's in the part where they're trying to think of a new book and he says, "how about there's this tribe of asparagus and they're self conscious about the way their pee smells". I'm not sure if that's the exact line but it's something similar to that
