This is a great use of his Hot Ones interview madness lol.
He really went for it.
A few days of my pain in exchange for months of glory and beyond.
First time I am seeing Conan O’Brien in a meme.
The Hot Ones interview seems to have worked wonders for him and his show, regardless of which stills are taken from the interview. :D
The whole doctor bit was great.
I love when he broke character at the end because he was excited about Conan temperature rising 2 degrees.
It’s kind of unfair that Conan can have as much fun sober, and be as crazy sober, as I need 12 beers to experience.
I’m apparently the only person who didn’t like Conan on Hot Ones. Felt so forced to me. Conan is so good at the long form interviews and conversations and he doesn’t need prepared bits, I wanted a deep and delving conversation. Wonder if Conan was insecure about being on the receiving end of questions for once.
He says multiple times he just did it because he was asked a million times to do it. So he just goes nuts with it. I didn’t think it felt forced, it felt like he just went wild.
I got the sense he was really trying to do exactly what he did - make a big splash and get a lot of eyeballs on this. He somehow even got me to remember when his damn show drops.
The best interview was the first Eric Andre one and the Alton Brown one, because Eric brings insanity with him; and Alton actually provided insight on cooking.
The worst one was the DJ Khalid one and even Sean hated every minute of it.
People like the Shaq one too, but it just made me realize he’s an asshole. That makes it a good interview, sure, but that doesn’t seem to be why people liked it.
Hey, Shaq:
I saw you bully that skinny white boy into eating something you were scared of. Kobe would have just taken it like a man.
(But we both know Jordan wouldn’t have made it past #5)
I think he always seems uncomfortable when the tables are turned. The recent appearance on The Tonight Show was another example.
If I’ll be ever famous (I will never be) and invited to Hot Ones, I’ll being half a rice grain in balsamico in a small package, sealed with red electrical tape, tell everybody it’s “some capsaicine crystal stuff” I ordered and east it just to see the faces.
