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 is da best

Probably one of the best podcasts I've heard in a long time. Conan is without doubt the best person to keep the conversation candid and interesting at the same time. Also loved the silly banters between Sona, Matt and Conan. My favorite episode was probably the one with Stephen Colbert, the convo was so intense and relatable. Also loved Michelle Obama, Will Ferrel and Bill Burr. For the second season please invite David Letterman, Norm Macdonald and Aubrey Plaza. Peace out TUPAC xx 🙃❤️
