Conan Upsets Sona With His Richard Nixon Impression | Conan O'Brien Needs A Friend 

When there is no network sensors or executive holding him back Conan is at his best

I'd honestly say Conan has gotten funnier as he's gotten older

4:18 The way Matt and Sona yell together is so funny and cute, like two little siblings when their dad grosses them out for fun again, lol! 🥰

Sona is such a great addition. Just her laughing alone makes it worth it

10 years ago this month, I met Conan on that very ferry. This story is long for a YT comment, but I feel like this is the right crowd for it. Gather 'round, chums. On a Sunday evening with very few people around, I waited for the Bainbridge-to-Seattle ferry in the no-car passenger line. Two people lined up behind me, and behind them were Conan and his family. I started losing my mind as a longtime fan, remembering that I'd heard about his wife having family in the Seattle area, but I kept my cool, as I picked up their "worn out after a long day with kids" vibe. One of my clearest memories was when the incoming ferry let its passengers off, and half the people who walked past greeted or shouted at Conan, to which he replied INCREDIBLY passive-aggressively. "Oh, huh, hi, yeah, uh huh." Lines up w/ the guy who's revealed himself as such in podcasts and BTS clips. In retrospect, his deadpan eff-you retorts to dopey fan screams makes me laugh pretty hard. But at the time, I thought it meant he was gonna destroy me if I said hello. Still, I had to try. I waited until we all started walking onto the ferry and boarding, at which point Conan was slightly separated from his family; that's when I walked up and said, "I don't want to be a bother while you're with your family, but I wanted to say I'm a huge fan, thank you for how much comedy you've given the world and also making it easier for me to be a redhead." I try to excuse myself, and he puts his hand on my shoulder and says, "Really, I figured I'd make it *harder* for redheads. What's your name?" And he went on to conduct a miniature CONAF chat for maybe five minutes. He was really good at working w/ the material I gave him just being myself. He cracked jokes, answered serious questions, and riffed politely. My mother, who was visiting me in Seattle at the time, took a photo of us with a 2012 smartphone, and it's maybe the blurriest photo of me that exists. I treasure it to this day.

The way Matt suggests great ideas and Conan makes the best of them instantly is just great

I would be honored to have Conan do his motorboating Nixon impression in the window of my car 😂😂

“COME HERE, TAKE OFF YOUR TOP” has me dying 😂

I've been a fan of Conan's for 20 years. I'll probably never meet him in this lifetime. But Team Coco uploading Conan doing Nixon makes up for that sad, sad reality. Thank you for this wonderful gift. 🥰

5:07 also I love that he accidentally said "motorboarding" as though being motorboated by Nixon would've been what the Bush administration called "enhanced interrogation technique"

This made me laugh out loud like a psycho in the middle of picking blueberries. I had my headphones on. The other people there were rightfully concerned

This podcast counts as one of my essentials for life

Nixon: "You lose ya LOOFAH?!!" "I'm gonna LOOF ya up, REAL GOOD!" Oh man. Laughed. So. Much.

Wow, who knew Tilda Swinton does such a good Nixon impression?

4:27 proof that anybody impersonating Nixon instinctively must hold up two fingers on each hand lol

I love how the production folks just spasmingly dive sideways every now and then while trying to hold insurmountable surges of laughter

His podcast is actually the funniest thing he has ever done in my opinion.

Anytime i listen to the podcast and either Sona or Matt are not there it always feels like something is missing. The dynamic between these three is amazing.

I had a chance meeting with Conan in 2009, Stage 1 at Universal. Kindest, funniest guy I've ever met in my whole life.

I wish I could meet Conan, Sona and Matt in this lifetime.

Love This And His Nixon Voice And All His Impressions !!!!!!

I've watched this video an unhealthy number of times. Conan as Nixon motorboating will be etched in my memory forever now.

You guys should do a podcast mocking the "missing tapes" from Watergate. I could listen to Conan do Nixon all day.

I come for the laughs. I stay for the history lessons.

Hands down, the best podcast right now. Conan, Matt, and Sona are such a great team!

This is the funniest thing I have ever seen. Sona dying inside takes it to a whole new level.

4:18 Matt and Sona reacting like kids would to their dad making an inappropriate joke

He said “Come here, Pat!!” 😂

Someone should to animate this.

If Conan ever becomes a grandfather, he'd be the BEST! and I love how his jokes just age like fine wine

3:11 Oh my god, I love this man so much. So humble, he’s like the undoubted king of late night but he never lets it even show.

I always liked Conan, but this format is him at his best. Just listening to him get into a groove and flow is so funny.

“DID YOU LOSE YOUR LOOFA?!” Dude I lost it😂

Wowsers! I did not know I needed this, but I apparently was yearning for it with all my unconscious soul 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Conan’s comedy ages like fine wine 🍷

OMFG I will never be able to scrub this image of Nixon out of my brain ever

Literally my favorite bit from the podcast to date. Thank you so much Team Coco for uploading this!! Conan I swear you’re just getting funnier and funnier with age. Keep cutting it up, Chopper🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

conan is the master of "do the bit long enough to where it becomes funny again"

That, was just the most I have ever laughed at anything on RU-vid! I was literally crying! Great stuff! 😂

Love Sona. She's awesome

blay just absolutely losing it in the back, dude just has to love coming to work :D

This podcast brings so much joy to my life ❤️

I'm impressed Nixon included the double peace-sign in his move and was able to motorboard hands-free!

Sitting at a red light and disappointed I'm not getting the Nixon motorboat :(

Matt and Sona are so good at adding in when Conan improvs now this is great

Reminds me of futurama - ayrooooo!

best podcast series out right now!! Never stop posting please :)

I'd love to see Conan out mingling with people and cultures again. He's awesome and hilarious with that.

That was hilarious. Nixon motorboating🤣😂🤣

"Ya loose your loofah". 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

last 2 minutes of this has me in tears. can't stop watching

These three should be added into periodic table of elements. Such a great chemistry!

Man I would love to have a history themed comedy podcast by Conan and the gang! I have a feeling Conan's encyclopedic knowledge of history will go along really well with this format.

Seriously. I'm on the Seattle to Bainbridge Island ferry right now and I'm listening to this pod cast. How did I miss you Conan.

The five o clock shadow was WONDERFULLY extra. I don’t smoke cigars and I lit one after that

Oh my god I was praying to this to come out! 🤣 I laughed so hard when I listen it to it!! Conan you’re the best!

How does Conan keep topping himself? There has to be a cap on this, right? The man is unstoppable.

"I'm gonna give you the breasts of a twenty year old". Gourlz with the slam dunk. Cuts like a six-blade knife. Dire Straits.

That probably went on just long enough for HR to get involved.

I listen to n episode each night..... I wish I could meet Conan n Matt and esp sona

I love Conan. I listen to the podcast on my commute home on the train. Bad thing is that I sit in the quiet car and have to stop myself from laughing out loud.

god i hadn't burst out laughing like this for a long while. thank you for that

This should be in the Library of Congress so generations can enjoy the Nixon motorboat.

Simply brilliant.

The only one other girl there completely unphased 😂

Lol, I knew the line was coming and Conan still killed it 😆😆😆

Conan is out of control. Thank god!

Been a fan of Conan since I was a wee lass, podcast Conan is the best Conan.

“Well I suppose they were wearing listening devices. Perhaps you call them hearing devices…and wigs.”

this segment began with Conan quietly, almost whispering, about his trip to visit his in laws in Seattle and somehow ends with him motor boating Pat Nixon as Richard Nixon in front of Halderman and Ehrlichman . Only Conan.

LOL WATCHED YOU FOR YEARS, YOU ARE A HARD WORKER. GREAT JOB CONAN. LOTS OF LOVE, BEST WISHES. BE SAFE. sry for all the yelling

I'm picturing Conan as the tall man getting out of that small car in The SImpsons that Nelson "HAHA's"..... and Nixon motorboating.

Dude......I live in Seattle and missed a Conan sighting!

That is one of the most ridiculous and hilarious things I have ever witnessed. I think instead of "Kedakai", people should do the Nixon Motorboat when they see Conan in public from now on.

"NO, CHECKERS, DON'T GO IN THERE."

That was legit one of the funnier things I’ve seen in a while

I commute while listening to this podcast in Australia, if Conan could come to Australia to show up while I’m listening that would be great

The "I am not a crook" bit is from the Simpsons!

This is the hardest Conan O'Brian has made me laugh, my sides hurt and my face is numb.

I love that Conan is slowly turning into Brian Stack

I still remember i was 7 when Conan saved me from this wild gagoosa. Which is one of the most heroic things i have witness. He literally became my shield while gagoosa stabbed it's paw in him right legs bottom thigh. And after gagoosa left . He turned around, looked into my eyes and said. You can die as a hero or live long enough to collect money and buy fish. He is not just wise but also very brave. Long live Conan, long live.

Its official! This guy is my favorite What ya loose your loofah?

We need a Conan as Nixon podcast!!!

Sona is so popular now I feel like she's got a better chance at hosting late night.

"Tickled my fancy."

I'm disappointed he didn't think of "Nixon Friction"... but if he ever pops up during my commute I won't bring it up. Because I'm a gentleman. LOL

Unhinged Conan, even funnier 😂

This was absolutely horrifying... 😂

Conan is the funniest person out there. Períod

I live in Seattle. I hope i get to meet conan. Just hearing him visit Bainbridge island made me so happy

brbbrbrbbbbbrbrmm "I am not a crook"!!!!!!!!!! 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Legit got weirdo stares from strangers as I was lol’n in public with earbuds. I ❤️ you guys. 💕

At the podcast's best, it feels like the "Best of Scraps", and this clip is one of those moments 😆

I only watch to see Sona. I don’t even know what to think about this…

I remember watching the “Conan therapy sessions featuring the revenge of the staff” episodes.

best episode🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

I’m going to Seattle immediately. I will find Conan

This was one of the funniest things ever lmao

Love Bainbridge. Used to go fishing out there when I was a kid for salmon. Was very beautiful.

I love the Simpsons monorail episode, Norm interviews - Courtney Thorne-Smith may be peak late night for me, remotes in other countries, segments with your interns and staff, Schlansky, driving around with Ice cube and Kevin Hart, Goldblum on the podcast. You've given me so many laughs over the decades and even shaped my sense of humor itself. I know you don't take feedback from plebs or compliments well, but had to express my appreciation regardless. Love ya Conesy.
