It’s totally worth it.Travel journalling is HARD, but having a great setup in your travel journal can make it so much easier. It’s a solar eclipse level rarity, this confluence of rival late night legends. Dave treats Conan as a comrade in arms, and this whole interview is GOLD. He’s so wary of being used as a pawn again that his guard is way up. “There we go! Now we’re getting somewhere!” He exclaims as Conan starts to let out some of his rage.Ĭonan seems almost diffident. The relish with which Dave listens to Conan rant is plain. Fonzie cool.Ĭonan and Letterman both share the sting of being outfoxed by Leno, and fucked over by NBC. He somehow became cool, and not in the nerdy cool way he’s been forever. WATCH THE VIDEO! Game of ThronesĬonan took his visible rage on the road, and on the Legally Prohibited From Being Funny On Television Tour, Conan was reborn. Conan and Letterman impersonating Jay Leno. He pulled a power play and won, but messily making his bosses look bad. Jay Leno, a man whose reputation as a nice guy is key to his success, is exposed as a… well, a showbiz asshole. This is around 2010/2011, while NBC is in a public relations death spiral over the Conan/Leno Tonight Show debacle.Ĭonan O’Brien goes rogue, and goes on The Late Show with David Letterman. This is after an extremely messy departure for Conan O’Brien, after more than 20 years with the network. So begins the wonderful, groundbreaking, extremely intense,interview between two direct rivals. I think the longer we just sit here, the more uncomfortable it’ll make Jay. I think I started off listening to a very engaging lecture by Christopher Hitchens, then somehow it was then Norm MacDonald, which then led to Conan O’Brien on The Late Show, back in 2010, right after getting suuuuuuper fucked by NBC and Jay Leno, over the Tonight Show. I came across this gem during a late night YouTube spiral. The 2010 Tonight Show Fight The Enemy of My Enemy Is My Friend Take the time to appreciate a man who honestly had a hand in shaping our culture.
Yes, people are living well, and living well, into their 90s, but it still means that our time with them is short.
In fact he’s in Portland right now, for ComicCon. Stan Lee is in his 90s and still working. Mel Brooks has been popping lately in my feeds, mainly due to the death of Gene Wilder, and is own 90th birthday. THEN he wrote for Jerry Lewis (which I didn’t know until I watched this), and created the great spy parody series, Get Smart. He wrote for the Titan of modern comedy, Sid Caesar, in which he worked with Carl Reiner, Woody Allen, and other luminaries. Thankfully we have a good host and a spectacular subject in Mel Brooks & Conan O’Brien.
#Serious jibber jabber with conan o brien series
Serious Jibber Jabber is a web series done by Conan in which he does an old fashioned (think Dick Cavett, or David Frost) long format interview. I love his movies (most of them), I love his humor… I love him! He’s wonderfully dynamic and energetic, even at the age of 87. This 90 minute conversation between Mel Brooks & Conan O’Brien is pure gold. Mel Brooks & Conan O’Brien Serious Jibber Jabber From 2013
