After 25 years at the Late Night desk, Conan realized that the only people at his holiday party are the men and women who work for him. Over the years and despite thousands of interviews, Conan has never made a real and lasting friendship with any of his celebrity guests. So, he started a podcast to do just that. Deeper, unboundedly playful, and free from FCC regulations, Conan O’Brien Needs a Friend is a weekly opportunity for Conan to hang out with the people he enjoys most and perhaps find some real friendship along the way.

Conan’s long legs

Conan’s Podcast is the only one that I enjoy listening to because he’s so witty and funny at the same time. I sometimes try to analyze how smoothly he handles all the different situations with the guests, and I’m just amazed.

Conan mentions quite a few times that his extra long legs are somewhat bothering him a bit. That cracks me up and gets me thinking every time. Many people have told me that I have short legs for somebody who’s 6’2, and they are not wrong😅. At first I was quite annoyed but now I’m just like, “I’m fully aware of this now. Can we just move on and talk about how short your whole body is?” Conan’s long leg “problem” is kind of what I desire to have. Guess it’s a bit too late now that I’m in my thirties.
