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.

Customer Reviews
Yeah… I grew up watching this guy.
I watched him in the early days and all the adventures in between up to now. Not saying I watched everything but it was a good amount. Sometimes I wished I gave more attention earlier when I was younger but I am glad to have the opportunity to not miss out on his podcast. Conan to me… I feel he’s the only modern comedian/host that is part of my childhood growing up and still kicking it in his brilliant ways. Consistent to his core and relevant in such a wonderful and special way. You are a gem. Thank you for being you and giving that part of you for all of us to enjoy. Your drive and hard work for all of our laughters is long overdue of all the thank you’s, you, could possibly receive from all of us :) I am glad to still have the chance to hear your own laughter. It’s what brings everyone here the most joy :) I hope you have enough gas in you to keep on going for many years because I would love my kids to experience you as I have, too.
My favorite!
I love everything about this podcast. Conan is hilarious as always. But I think my favorite part is when Conan inevitably gets carried away and you hear Sona in the background with an, “Oooh.” It’s so simple, but I can picture it so well and it makes me laugh hysterically every time.
Since getting SiriusXM a few months ago, I can say with absolute certainty that channel 106 has been on 95% of the time.
Big Fan!!
The best of everything in this podcast. It seriously improves my life. It keeps me company. It makes me laugh. It keeps me thinking and provides “learning” of sorts. I love you guys!!
