Conan O’Brien needs a friend is my favorite podcast by far. Conan, Sona, Matt, and David are just a hilarious combo that never fails to make me laugh and lift my mood no matter the circumstances. It is my favorite and the best podcast available right now! Way to go guys!
Did you know that after Hit zones Conan was voted Dab of the Decade.
I think Conan is funnier when he is with Sona. She's the reason this podcast works.
LOL city!! The openers—with all of these smart, good-hearted, hilarious folks, jabbering, chiming in and cracking up themselves and each other—are awesome and never fail to make me LOL! Thank you for using your smarts and hilarity to help us get through these tough time. You offer so much more than just a silly podcast. I want to call and talk with Conan but truthfully do not have a burning question; I’d just want to gab and laugh. TY, Conan and crew!!
First episode was Ray Romano - i think during Covid. I was working out in the yard and I found myself laughing outloud alone. And since then- I continually laugh outloud while listening. Thank you Conan, Sona and Matt for keeping me happy and laughing when I need it! If I’m having anxiety I just turn on the pod and laugh and enjoy the moment. You guys are really doing it for a lot of people..!!
