Katt Williams Thinks Rappers Are Funnier Than Comedians | Late Night with Conan O’Brien 

POV: You on a Katt Williams binge 😂😂

let us not forget that at one point in time Kat was the biggest and funniest stand up comic alive. Absolutely groundbreakingly Hilarious

Conan was always such a better and more genuine interviewer than the other late night hosts.

I’m here because the RU-vid algorithm just keeps showing Katt Williams content after watching Club Shay Shay. No complaints!

Kat Williams has ALWAYS been in his OWN lane. We never stopped loving him.

An example of what reciprocated energy looks like. Free-flowing. Nothing forced.

The best thing about Conan was he always showed respect for his guests. And you can tell it's mutual in the interview. God bless both these men.

“Short guys make better lovers cause once we get on we don’t want to get off” that had me rollin

This aired in 2008 but that mortgage and recession line is still relevant lmao

Katt is a legend. Just a genuinely funny human being.

Katt has reached Chappelle status. He's not just a comedian anymore. He's a storyteller, truthseeker, innovator, and legend.

Fact that Katt is able to crack jokes on the spur of the moment and makes us all laugh makes him the greatest of all times....

“I’m the only black comic with a perm” and “Not a negro function without fondue”, I’m dead 🤣😂🤣😂

Any talk show that’s brave enough to have him on gets a thumbs up from me! I love Katt!!! If more people truly got to understand and appreciate his comedy would love him just as much!!

This is actually a pretty funny exchange between these two. I love Katt’s use of pompadour 😂 Kat has the ability to laugh at himself, which I didn’t realize

Katt is simply brilliant here. Great delivery and back and forth banter with Conan. Great comedian

Katt’s PR needs a raise 👏🏾. He came prepared, professional, & ready to play his part.

Man Katt Williams in his prime was great. One of the funniest guys ever.

5:37 Conan's impression of himself at a party full of black ppl: "I'll put on a Monkees album" Kat: ".....so about that fondue" lmao

Who’s here after club shay shay …. Kat and Conan tooo funny together

I still watch Katt Williams stand up shows and laugh every time I watch.

The chemistry is amazing here. The whole interview was funny. Conan is a great host. Kat is really funny.

“You’re an icon.” No better compliment from Katt Williams.

Katt is funnier than any other comedian he makes you laugh the entire length of his act..extremely funny

At the verrry end, catching Kat Williams look Conan in the eye while shaking his hand and saying, “...thank you, you’re an icon.” One of the most sincere, coolest closes in a celeb interview I’ve ever seen... Respect.

in my opinion katt is literally one of the funniest comedians ever.

Dude... Imagine a party or dinner or literally anything with Prince and Katt Williams t the same time 😂😂😂 gotta be crazy! Swag overload

The back and forth is such respect for the truth in the craft of comedy. Katt respects writers so much there should be a katt writers award show.

“Did your height effect you?” “It made me cynical and bitter” -relatable 😩

Love the chemistry Katt and Conan seem to naturally have. That was probably the most wholesome I've ever seen Katt and he was still hilarious!

Conan was literally the best interviewer ! He is straight up hilarious!

I love when Katt is interviewed because he's such an intelligent well-spoken individual.

What I like about Katt is that he's just naturally funny. A lot of these new age comedians do the most and what they're saying just isn't funny.

This was gold: "once we get on, we don't ever wanna get off."

His Wanda Smith improv roast on her show is just extraordinary!!!!!!

i would love to see more of the two of them together, because i feel that once they really get warmed to each other it would get nuts. these are two of the great comic minds whose minds will be mined for years to come.

Seeing kat like this is refreshing, he seems like a genuine guy right here

Katt Williams is funny AF. He is a skillful comedian & seems super down to earth .

This interview is legendary 2 great comics volleying off eachother making great television. I hope conan can interview Kat in his podcast

Kat has like 2 of the funniest stand up specials I’ve ever seen. Dude was unbelievable.

I always thought Katt was funnier than Kevin Hart. Katt is a legend!

Katt’s run was so legendary. He was so funny. I still find him funnier than Kevin Hart. It never seemed like Katt was ever trying to be funny. Where as with Kevin I feel he tries TOO HARD to be funny. Katt is a legend.

I ABSOLUTELY love him. True professional but just downright quick w the funny. Miss Prince so much. Finally can smile at the mention of him. So many tears over the years. Thx Katt🥰🙏🏽🥰

Kat is the funniest in the business 💯 we stand with you KAT

Don't call it a comeback. Katt is a legend. He hasn't gone anywhere, he's still out here doing his thing. I just saw a couple of recent interviews where he was promoting a film. There's no way you can forget Katt if you're a true fan. Dude had his own Netflix special and he could do another one if he wanted to. Katt and Conan are both just naturally funny. Edit: The following is for those of you who think I don't know that this interview is old: I said in my comment above that I saw a couple of Katt's more recent interviews. So I know that this one is not recent. I also said don't call it a comeback because ppl in the comment section were saying things like 'Where's Katt?' and 'I wish Katt was still in the game' and some ppl thought this was a new interview. So in my comment I was trying to say that people don't really follow Katt or Conan for that matter, because if they did they would know this interview is an old one. Also ppl will forget someone just because they aren't all over tv and social media constantly like The Rock for example. So they believe that the person no longer exists or that they've gone away. So what I was saying is that just because Katt isn't all everywhere all the time (Katt has tons of videos up here on RU-vid though but not many recent ones) like Kevin Hart doesn't mean that he's any less talented or that he's still not out here doing his thing. So I was saying that like LL Cool J said, don't call it a comeback because if Katt decides to do what Kevin is doing then he very well could! But then ppl would say things like I'm so glad Katt is back but really dude has never left!! He would be more successful or just as successful as Hart or Johnson if he wantrd to be. Katt was just in the sequel to Meet The Blacks with Mike Epps and he won an Emmy in 2018. Katt does what he wants and I respect him so much for that. He's not a puppet and he has a soul. Also I don't believe Hart or Johnson have won anything. Just saying.

Katt Williams knows how to play the crowd. Very good interactive interview and banter.

Until a week ago or so I didn’t even know who Katt Williams was but an article on the Fox News website about him doing an interview with I forgot the name but he was a football star and now he does this and Katt Williams was on. Now I’m a 68 year old white female and I could say I quit watching TV probably eight years ago but he’s been around longer than that but how did I ever miss him? I think he’s one of the most intelligent men I’ve heard talk in a long time and in a lot of ways he reminded me of my husband who passed and in someways a little bit of my daughter and also my father who left home in North Dakota at 13 and made his way to California and became a successful businessman not like him but he was a successful businessman that was able to pass on his business to the kids. I find him terribly refreshing from other comedians/actors/entrepreneurs.❤ where have I been?

Sorry I'm running a Katt Williams marathon today.

Katt is ridiculously fast. I think that's what makes him good as a comedian.

His voice is so particular. You can tell he’s just naturally funny

Katt is seriously so damn likable. wow and who knew he is one the few man standing with integrity in this biz

I love Katt so much. Thanks to him I found smile in real tough times.

The way he was looking way up in the sky when he was remembering his WNBA girlfriend had me dying😂😂😂

Katt Williams has stayed true to himself. Saw him in South Carolina, in 2016- he absolutely killed it!

I’m watching everything Katt🥰🤣

Kat takes what we feel like in our own lives….and delivers it brilliantly 👏🏼 That’s what makes him a legend

We all miss Katt Williams, I hope whatever he is going through he can come out better because of it

I like katt's energy, he isn't afraid of looking different

I found this to be very wholesome. I love the chemistry between them it just felt so natural and genuine

Who’s watching this after the Shannon interview?👇🏽

Let's please get Katt back on the main stage the man is a genius

Don't let Kat fool you. He has the ladies following him. And he is underrated for his comedic skills. The man is extremely funny. He has a high IQ. In other words, he is a genius. It's very obvious and noticeable in his stage performances. May God bless him for also adopting children whose own parents abandoned them.

I love when the guest makes Conan really laugh.

"Ladies & gentlemen the Pompidou" Absolutely hilarious! 😂😂😂

Katt seems like a genuine dude. Not all ate up with who he is. He seems like the kind of dude you would see walking down the street and he'd stop and talk to you and ask about your family.

This clip is 14 years old, let that sink in, and yet these two men have maintained their grip on their industries and have even mastered their respective crafts to a fault. 2008 before the cancel culture and the faux woke movements, and i bet they would still kill the interview today. Great chemistry, such icons.

Katt Williams is so cool and respectful.

You can see wisdom in his eyes , and so funny , and very smooth socially , I love it

One of the most underrated comics of this generation. severely under appreciated by the general public. No one mentions him when they talk about the great stand up comics. Kat is one of few to always make me laugh out loud literally.

2008 ... Oh man, what a memories... Kat Williams still in his late 30s, Conan still in NYC.. me still in school, having good time 😬

Katt Williams shines where ever he goes too talented a guy to not see his gifted talent.

Kat will forever be the king of comedy! He's definitely one of a kind and won't nobody ever come close to him. ❤❤

These new generations don’t understand how funny this man was and still is! Omg “the pimp chronicles” was my favorite and still is!!!

RIP Prince 😭😭😭 What a legend who just loved being his authentic self regardless of what others would think of him

Just the genius of Conan to traverse through those subjects, maintain and preserve spontaneous comedy and really bridge two worlds together, with the help of another genius comedian

i know 2008 isnt necessarily that long ago but damn this quality could convince me it was yesterday... almost thought Katt aged back a bit too. not like he ever lost that hair though haha

I thoroughly love the chemistry between Conan and Katt. What a fun interview. 😊

“i can’t get out my room high” is literally me watching this 😂😂😂😂

Love Kat, he's very very funny and makes me feeling good every time ❤❤❤❤

They together have great energy….. really good comedy they complement each others 😂😂😂😂😂

He still holds the crown,the real king of comedy!

He got the same treatment as Chappelle got when he walked away from his show all those years ago. We need a comeback tour with Katt because we truly miss him. Pimp chronicles with the green jacket is one of my all time favorite specials

I love how professional Conan is, you can tell he's thinking about every question before saying it out. He's genius.

Hes not only very funny but an extremely intelligent man and he has the ability to think outside the box

I'm so proud of Kat's success. He's paid his dues he earned all of the praise he gets and then some.

Kat is just a naturally funny genius. So infectious. He looks incredible here.

Well after Shay Shay... I'm herr😅😂

There is hidden mutual respect.

Katt went through so much exposing the powers that be I’m so happy he’s doing good 🔥🔥

Katt Filmed 'Father Figures' at my house and he was the coolest guy ever! I was respectfully staying back and watching the filming.He popped up beside me and said "girl,can you see good here?You don't have to hide,come watch" and he took pictures with my kids and talked to everyone.(Owen Wilson and Edd helm where also filming,but Katt was so impressive)

It’s always great to see two of your favorite people like each other right away.

What's with people acting like Katt Williams only got famous recently? He has been here a for long time, selling out arenas for years, has 12 specials, and been in like 60 movies. That being said, the club Shay Shay interview is insane and everyone should watch it.

Katt should play prince in a biopic. Who’s with me on this 😂

He doesn't get the credit he deserves he's a crack up 😂

Two legends. There’s nothing I don’t love about this entire interaction. Bless up

This is the commercial Katt that we didn’t get to see enough of. I think he stood on his preferences and principles which precluded him from more success in the Hollywood corporate/studio system. I still think Katt is funnier than Kev, Kev just was willing to play the system more. Kev is lovable to a large amount of people, especially celebrities. But Katt is more naturally funny, and a better writer.

Two comedians just riffing, adding on to each other's jokes. I love it

I am absolutely ashamed in myself that I have not seen this clip two of the funniest people ever and the most genuine non sellouts of Hollywood together

That “you’re at all the parties” hits different now 👁

There’s nothing like a Katt live show, he’s a wonderful master of his craft
