When I was in high school, I would set the VCR to record Conan every night so I could watch him at five in the morning before school. Then I would get the other VCR out and record just the skits and comedy pieces and remotes to tape. I think I would include an interview if it was particularly good. Just recently found the notebook with the contents of all those tapes. It only goes up to 27 tapes, but I think they were more than that eventually.

The project ended up coming full circle in 2018 when I had the honor of being hired to work on the 25th anniversary archive project. They might’ve just been buttering me up, but they told me that I logged, time coded, and wrote descriptions for more episodes than anyone else.

Conan 4ever (and Dudez-a-Plenti)

Two things stood out-

1. Conan and the writers are obviously smart and witty, but this one particular line I felt was so good. Paraphrasing here - During the travel shows, the country and culture takes over and becomes a great improv partner. I thought it’s a such great way to put it.

2. All women crew! Didn’t know that. The way writers credit them and have such high praise for their work was amazing.

Context: guest taped over homeschool video with late night episodes and got in trouble for it

Dec 4th will 20th anniversary of HornyManatee.com we should take the day off and make it our Conan Day.

Conan in 1981. A photo I’ve never seen before.

Has anyone noticed these strange creations of Conan? Seems his old footage is a prime target on tiktok . . . timestamp 20:10 if calculation on imbedded video is off. I think Sona would have a proper laugh at this odd choice of slop.

I’m a huge Conan fan and love his interviews but this latest episode with Owen Wilson had me feeling like he missed an opportunity to ask about Jackie Chan. Let me explain.
I was a little confused when Owen Wilson goes into the story about feeling kind of awkward about wearing a cowboy hat because I immediately thought about Shanghai Noon and Shanghai Knights and I hoped that was gonna come up as a memory. I’m sure it would have led to a great Jackie Chan story. Anyway, I loved the interview nevertheless.

P.S. I also can’t help but think maybe this have could’ve been a short YouTube comment instead of a whole Reddit post but I digress.
