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 from SW...VA ,

Melinda French Gates, Need I Say More …?

Not a late night person, so really unfamiliar prior to hearing this ( referring to Melinda French Gates episode).
But wow,a really fun learning experience. Inspiring and made me laugh.
Also, what’s with letting the church run the state ?
Thanks

Doing gods work

I wasn’t really a podcast person in the past. I dabbled here and there with certain podcasts but it never really stuck….until Conan. Massive fan of him and everything he does, so it’s no surprise he converted me into a podcast person. I found myself coming back more and more and it’s one of things for me, where it keeps my happiness going. I tend to struggle with my view on the world and a lot of the time, humanity feels hopeless. So how I cope, is by listening to comedians and things that make me feel good all day while I work, instead of listening to the news or doom scrolling. And I found that not only Conan as an individual, but this podcast helps keep me in a better day to day mood and I’m forever grateful for it, for him, for Sona and Matt, and all the peeps that work hard on producing this podcast. Big thank you. You guys are doing more good than you may even realize.
