Four centuries from now, Xorblorp O'Brien will be researching his family tree and find that the early 21st century was the origin of the blood feud between the O'Briens and the Lenos
As an executive producer for the US version of _Who Do You Think You Are?_ Lisa Kudrow asked Conan to appear on the show. He submitted a DNA sample but warned her there was absolutely nothing notable in his background. She told him that everyone had something interesting in their family tree. Weeks went by without him hearing back so he called her. She admitted that they couldn't find anything usable on him.
Caitriona Crow is the pre eminent geneologist in Ireland so Conan was lucky she was willing to participate and provide her expertise. She is not just an expert , she is delightfully honest and unimpressed, but kind and dry witted. No flattery just facts kindly delivered with a self contained smile. Conan got her to laugh out loud eventually. Well done both.
Conan has some, a lot of epic stuff which I revisit often - Chicago Blues kids, The Choir, Mexican Border.....but ALL his Irish stuff is absolute, near insulting shite, totally unfunny. This atrocity accent, this 'leprechaun' limb gyrating....the most un-comic ever.
"I think you're the only Conan I know" that was so sad. it's like he realized his whole planet disappeared and he is the last one of his kind. The throat clearing bit lift me back up.
Yeah, I started watching thinking _oh, it'll be a touching and sober interaction as Conan discovers his ancestors_ and by the end I'm chucking hard because Conan is, naturally, riffing a throat-clearing bit. And ending with "I'm told I have a fat head.... is that something that would be in the O'Brien line?"
Farmer, eh? Looks like maybe Thomas Noonan O'Brien could have had a chance with Nel. She would have been older but you never know. Too bad Noonan isn't Conan's middle name. Conan Noonan O'Brien. The end of the video turned into a London's Gentlemen's Club.
Conan O’Brien can say is 100% DNA Irish it could be said he is 100% not Irish. He did not understand the concept of the Celtic culture, extremely sophisticated Harvard educated but he still does not get it. I do because I am Welsh so therefore I do understand it. Yeah that is a Welsh joke?🏴🇬🇧🏴
