Started watching Conan when I was about 7 or 8. My sister and I would wake up and watch it quietly while my parents slept. Thanks for the laughs Conan, what a gift.
Very insightful and yeah meds.
Conan is simply the best.
I wonder Conan's thoughts on this interview 30 years later. You can see how he has changed and how he has stayed the same. Definitely less willing to derail an interview with the old razzle dazzle.

Conan, you are very very cool dude! 😎
I know he will not say, but Conan is a great man. That’s all I will say.
Not funny! Why?
wow
self doubt is a great mechanism that protects a lot of people from wasting their lives on futile pursuits that would only result in them being even more miserable.
I have great memories of doing homework in our den me and sis at our 2 desks while conan was on late night on the tiny tv in the corner every night. Decades later there still is no one even kinda close.
this is great
I love Conan so much. This is the first time I've heard him speak about his mental illness – I feel that it is a brave move and I would love to know more about this side of his journey. 💙
OMG I forgot about PimpBot 5000!
I've been watching Conan most of my life and enjoying his humor all of my life (He was a writer and producer of my favorite Simpson's seasons that I'd watched as a kid). I would love to meet him one day and thank him for all the laughter and joy he brought to my life. In fact, when I'm in a dark place I watch his videos to help me get out of it.
What a great answer. Thanks Conan.
Conan's been a hero since I was a kid and he had that cartoon intro. Long time. I remember pimp bot.
Thank for your words Conan. Love your show for pretty much all my life too. So great!
Shout out to the guy for asking a really great question 👍🏿
deal with gangstalking for a few years and you stop caring about other people and their opinions and start worrying about how you'll ever escape. america is a prison for some of us. your culture is sick and horrible.
Tomorrow’s World Relationships
A perfect match? A loving family? Happy children? The pressures of today’s world create a grim reality where successful and lasting relationships are something of a fantasy. We cannot rely on the experience of elders since they lived in a very different world, so we have to find how to create meaningful and sustainable partnerships today. The key word in this search is connectedness, or rather, interconnectedness.
Because the world is changing at an accelerating pace, it is pointless to compare today’s relationships to those of our parents, or even to relationships of people a decade or two older than us. Each year, the world becomes increasingly connected, and a crisis in one place quickly spreads to the rest of the world.
On the personal level, too, things today are very different from what they were a decade ago. We have moved from fast food to fast relationships, and brief has become our permanent state of being.
To cope with the growing uncertainty and find direction in the emerging chaos, we need to understand where we are going. We are headed toward total connectedness and interdependence. It is an irreversible process. The more connected we become, the more dependent on each other we become, as well. Soon, we will realize that anything that hurts others hurts me, too, and there is nothing I can do to break my ties with the world.
In order to cope successfully with our interconnected future, we must change the nature of our ties from abusive and oppressive to supportive and embracing. Since we already broadcast our thoughts, words, and actions to the entire world, we might as well broadcast positive thoughts, words, and actions, and help improve the world for ourselves and others.
In a world that is connected positively, the family is the basic unit of connection. A reality where humanity is a mass of isolated individuals is unsustainable because there will be no connections between people and society will disintegrate just as any organism disintegrates into the smallest elements when it dies.
Therefore, the family will be the basic unit where people cultivate positive connections. Since people are becoming increasingly individualistic, the family will be the place where people learn to embrace diversity rather than fight against people who hold different views. People will learn that just as our body exists thanks to different cells and organs working together for the sake of the body, different people who work together for the sake of the family enable the success of the family.
From the family unit, people will take their lessons to the community, from the community to the city, from the city to the state, to the country, and finally to the entire world. The key, therefore, to successful relationships in tomorrow’s world, lies not only in connections, but in connections between different people for a common goal, where the differences between them ensure their success and make their mutual dependence imperative, and even welcome.
I love this man 😭😭😭💎 i would watch conan when i was in high school and uni, religiously going to the website to watch the night befores episode because we didnt have tv. It must be insane to find out years later how many silent young people admired him over the years.
Insecurity and self-doubt will not be cured by more material success. Insecurity, self-doubt, self-hatred, are not related to clicks and views and comments and likes and followers and money and fame and being recognized at a Starbucks.
This is good news. This is why: if those things are not a cure for your current suffering, that means you can safely cure your current suffering with OTHER modalities, e.g deep breathing, exercise, journaling, and do so right now, and then go on to persue fame or views or attention if you still want it.
Do you see now why this is useful? it means the thing you wanted is now more accessible. You don't have to go all the way to the top of the mountain to get clean drinking water when there is a clean, full bottle at home.
And that is the problem with "attention seekers" or "fame whores". There's nothing wrong with enjoying, or even persuing fame. The problem lies with the idea that "I am unloveable" and the only way to become loveable is to be MORE famous.
"Conan is so overrated 😡"
– nobody
Conan I love you.
i love conan so much
It helps to come from a wealthy family and attend Harvard, I’m sure.
self doubt is you best friend in life don't try to lose it. it keeps you motivated to be better and down to earth, we need more self doubt these days
There's a reality to dealing with insecurity and self-doubt that most people are never told. The reason you feel that way is because it's the truth and part of you knows it. If you want to end that feeling and find confidence in yourself, you have to convince that part of you that there's a reason to be confident. This means you have to prove your self-worth to yourself. You have to make good decisions, you have to do well at things worth doing, and you have to be willing to fail, get up, and try again until you succeed.
That's it, that's the secret. Get uncomfortable and do the hard work of actually improving yourself. And be damn grateful you have that part of you that's willing to be honest about who and what you really are, not everyone has it.
Pimp bot and "In the Year 2000" segments were golden way back then
Conan, i know you are not reading this
YOU ARE A F'ING LEGEND
and i hope you live forever
It's really strange to look at things like this, recognize how much society has changed for a mainstream celebrity like Conan to talk the way he does here and then think of the many, many people who are like "We want to go back to the good old days!"
Really?
Not that everything is great right now. In fact, I think the golden era was about 20 years ago. Between the discrimination and violence from before then and the progressive nonsense that followed.
3:30 med stuff?
Great and honest question and answer! Love you Conan! Big fans!
Thank you for sharing Conan.
Sona is Conan’s Robin Quivers.
It is nice to see him talk normally. 😄
Always funny and candid, luv him so much!
No man is an island
Seems like a good guy
my goat :')
Your show got me through some rough years in my early teens and since then I've been a huge fan. My sister and I love you, Conan.
