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.

Hello Conan, greetings from Slovakia. I discovered your podcast not a long time ago and get used to listen to it each time I’m driving to the office which take me precisely 1 hour. Since I only listen to your podcast whike driving (cuz its the best obviously), I would like to ask you if you could make it quicker because I ran out of all episodes already and started to listenning to it for the second time. I would really appreciate it!! thanks 😏
