As Conan O'Brien leaves TBS, I feel as though this was a great way to celebrate his impressive and well-known abilities as an improvisational late-night host. I've always thought he stood out from the rest, and I hope this video does justice in explaining why. There was a lot I didn't cover, but tell me your thoughts in the comments!

Conan is the King of Remotes indeed. His natural ability for improvisation, his selfdepricating humor and his impecable comedic timing make him the best ever.

Conan is the reason I have a sense of humor. I’m glad you made this video.

Great video! One of the things I love most about Conan is how he is always the butt of the joke. He puts himself down instead of others (except for Jordan...) and it makes him more likable. Looking forward to this channels future!

Conan is just the GOAT. period. He took us to a place every night where we didn't have to worry about politics or how messed up the world was. We could all just laugh together. I really miss it.

@jayess8714 2 дня назад

Huge shout out needs to be given to Conan's editors - any filmmaker knows how hard of a job it is, and it's thanks to their skills going through often hours or even days of footage that the remotes are executed so well for the audience 👏👏👏

@jayess8714 2 дня назад

Conan is the remote legend. Every host has their viral video hit thing, Fallon has silly games, Kimmel has Mean Tweets, Colbert with his scathing political monologues, Seth has A Closer Look, Corden has Carpool Karaoke... But conan's viral hits were his remotes. Just him, being silly with strangers, with all of his excellent hilarious timing and wit. Conan is king, period.

@IamSH1VA 10 месяцев назад

He is so funny, Conan could walk up to someone and starts making comedy gold. But it never feels disrespectful in anyway, which is the best part. I love his goofy comedy style.

First of all, this is my new favorite RU-vid channel, and second i love how someone loves Conan as much as I do. You should check out Conan O'Brien can't stop and the "scraps" clips on RU-vid, which are the rehearsal outtakes of the show.

Conan's skills of both comedy and humanity were exemplified during is segment in Port-au-Prince, Haiti. He proved that even when things were tense with that woman, he was able to use self-depreciation and understanding to join the Haitian community for that moment.

Good idea, I've always thought of Dave Attell as a "comedian's comedian." I have quite the list of videos I plan to do and I'll have to add this one into my notes! Although in all actuality, it would be some time before I got to this one specifically

@mjuzumaki 2 года назад

Letterman was an innovator & Conan perfected the concept of the remote. The reason I lean more towards Conan is because he's never comes out as mean spirited. He's always willing to be the butt of the joke. While Letterman ; who is incredibly funny as well, more often than felt like he believed he was bigger than you & came up as a creep & pompous ass. At least that's how it came across to me. Love them both tho 😅

@user-bn7rc9uv1m 2 года назад

@@BITSandTHESIS I kind of wonder why Conan's show failed in the past decade. His clips are utterly welcomed on RU-vid but I find that his popularity and viewership declined that he must downsize and eventually ended CONAN. Is his kind of comedy just not fit for TV or late night? Or something else? I recently watched a lot of his late night bits, his show was chaotic, crazy, silly and funny shit, and himself was definitely sharper and purer. What he does today, including running a media company and supporting many kinds of contents, is equally impressive but it's just different. I bet he misses the Late Night period a lot.

@BITSandTHESIS 2 года назад

I think the reasons as to why the show was cancelled are multifaceted. The late night format, especially when it appears on television, is a dying dinosaur. Actually, Conan's executive producer, Jeff Ross, called it just that - a dinosaur. Ratings for all late night shows on TV are going down fast. Also, much of Conan's audience is young, and the younger you are the less likely you are to watch television. Instead, you might watch the shorter clips seen on RU-vid. Conan's popularity has grown greatly over the years, just not with the kind of people who flip through TV channels at night. Also, TBS reformatting Conan to a shorter show did not boost ratings like they had hoped - it may have hurt ratings, actually. Conan's move to streaming will serve his audience better, I think. I loved him on TBS (and NBC), but I'm looking forward to whatever he does now. _(Let's not forget that Conan is still doing Conan Without Borders!)_

@vaneyataco 6 месяцев назад

Will you make more videos? I just discovered your videos and they’re amazing!

@judithrichards5754 2 года назад

Conan doesn't have a large ego like a lot of stars. He makes more fun of himself then he does of others and when he does make fun of others you know he's kidding. Also when a fan asked him a serious question about her mental health he answered her seriously and respectfully. He threw a little humor in but it wasn't sarcastic or aimed at her.

@gallery7596 2 года назад

Thank you for crediting Steve Allen as the trailblazer. But no mention of Jay Walking or the Photo Booth remotes featured on "The Tonight Show"? They did those for years and they were hysterical.

We all know Conan was the obvious winner, but I would've loved for you to have gone more in depth with Letterman's remotes & the history behind them. Instead, this felt a little too rushed. Sometimes, it's not about the destination, but the journey we take to get their.

@lmbgemini 2 года назад

My favorite talk show host on American TV is Craig Ferguson. He doesn't even use notes in his interviews. In general my no. 1 is Graham Norton. Conan comes 3rd as he does great remotes. 4th is James Corden because he also has good remotes.
