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 Fri... more

Unlike other shows that I listen to for the guests. Conan could be talking to a shoe, and I’d still listen!!
Quick and sharp. Like a two edge sword.
Look, I enjoy the show- but I took one star off because it’s basically a radio morning talk show. You know, a “Conan and Snoofy in the Morning” type thing. Heavy on the innuendos, straight guy hinting at gay stuff (yawn) and an outraged yet affable gal-pal as foil. Oh yeah, and a laugh track.
I guess the formula works! 4 stars.
Great podcast with an amazing host and entertaining guests. The only thing I would change is I’d take out the high pitched voice of the assistant. Maybe just let him be an assistant. He seems like a nice person, just not a good voice for a podcast.
