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.

Can I rate 10 stars?

I work the graveyard shift by myself and this podcast helps me keep my sanity. For me Conan was the greatest late night host of all time and now for me one of the greatest podcasts. Thanks for all the laughs 🥹

hundreds of listens ,

People…please stop hating on Sona!

I hate how people say that Sona’s laugh is forced or fake. Come on people. If you sat with Conan, would you have to force a laugh?? Didn’t think so! I LOVE Conan, Sona, and Matt. I laugh out loud all of the time. On my worst day, this show lifts me up. I feel like I am listening to down to earth people who are being themselves. So all you haters need to start laughing and stop complaining. Do not change a thing about this show!!! Love it!!!
