You’ve been a Godsend…
I started listening to Podcasts in the very beginning of Covid…and every time I hear the music in your opening segment and “my name is” it doesn’t conjure up the fear I felt with so many people dying, a total idiot in charge of it all and terrified I’d get it and die… it reminds me instead, of the safety and familiarity you all brought each week and continue to bring. Thanks for being soooo funny. You’re all awesome.

Laughs Are Guaranteed!
Finally getting around to reviewing this show/podcast. I’ve been a fan of Conan’s since the 90s. I couldn’t always catch the show back then but when I did the laughs were guaranteed. Now I listen to Conan’s podcast every day as I drive into work. I believe that if I can at least start the day with a laugh or two my day will at least start on a good note and I can relax a little because I’ve laughed. Thank you Conan, Sona and Matt!

Matt Gourley’s secret stardom
I love the podcast as it is a welcome break from all the craziness of the world we live in. What I wanted to ask is, has it ever been addressed on the podcast that Matt Gourley appeared on the show Drunk History. I confess that I didn’t know of him before I started listening but have grown to love him along with Conan and Sona (who I already loved) ahem “gigilos mug”. I actually gave a whoop when I saw him as I was rewatching old episodes recently and turned to my wife and said “he’s from my Conan podcast!”. I had no idea he was a TV star before starting his side gig as a podcaster. Anyway, thanks for all the laughs.

Learning about myself
Didn’t like boy bands as a teen, but in my early adulthood I suppose the latent obsession is the Conan universe - what a time to be alive. Podcast brings me so much comfort and happiness, and Conan + side kicks seem to be such genuinely good people. Especially awesome when you’re jet lagged during a bout of solo travel! Thanks :)

Hilarious and heartwarming
This podcast makes me laugh out loud every time I listen to it, some thing that has been in short supply for the last few years. I would really have a hard time getting through the week without this podcast to brighten my outlook on life. The friendship between Conan, Sona, and Matt is something to aspire to. The interviews are always fascinating, even when they are a bit goofy. It truly helps to hear Conan talk about his moments of doubt and insecurity, it is very relatable.

Love Conan
Conan always shines bright and makes me laugh but the downfall of the show is the boring assistant and the guests.

Conalyphant!
I haven’t even heard the episode and I can barely contain my excitement. They are the funniest and cutest duo ever. Why do they not merge to become Conalyphant?

Olyphant-a-palooza
Tim Olyphant needs to come on once a month! This latest episode was absolutely wonderful in all aspects. The dialogue/banter is so genuine and entertaining at the same time. 😊😊😊

Conan & Tim are incredible
I’ve listened from the very beginning and truly love Conan’s mind. Add the beautiful and sweet Timothy Olyphant and what else could you want?

Fowl Play Unrecognized
Great show. However, in an episode discussing the tragic murder of a turkey, Matt Gourley asks the guest if they suspect fowl play and his joke is not acknowledged by the guest nor by the other two “hosts”. Frankly this behavior should result in the loss of a star, but due to the sheer quantity (not quality) of episodes, I’ve granted the star back.

Even the Ads Are Funny
If you were born in the 70s, you have to listen. Paul Rubens, Dana Carvey, Lisa Kudrow, Paul Rudd, Jeff Goldblum, Julia Louis Dreyfus are some of my favorite episodes. I cry laugh listening to the first Jeff Goldblum episode. I have such love and nostalgia for Paul Rubens, and I love listening to him and he and Conan seem like some of the nicest celebrities. If only Chris Farley, Phil Hartman, and Betty White we’re here to record an episode. Sonia has the best laugh (and job!) and Matt is an amazing “straight man” to Conan’s funny, self-deprecating humor.

Just a quick share
I was listening to the "Undercover Rabbi" episode this morning. Had many a giggle. A wonderful time. I sent the following text to my brothers whist getting some breakfast: "I love Conan O' Brien. He said his favorite joke at a bris is 'Wow! This calamari is amazing!' "After some laughing responses. I copied and pasted the same text to my mother. Within 30 seconds I get a call from her and her first words were "What's the joke?" Maybe Matt Gourly should've been there because I had to tell the rest of the setup. At the very least he would've been able to do it without busting a gut laughing. The call ended after the setup with my Mom going, "Oh. I'm going to go get a shingles shot."Shoutout to Sona and the rest of the team! Carry on!

I’m watching you….
Conan has so many tactics to harangue Sona and Matt….I am listening to this podcast from the beginning- binging for the last two months and I think I just found a new one….on the Ted Danson one someone (I know who) cut off the end of the podcast because Sona was talking about the difference between Conan and Mr. Danson with respect to patience during tech setup….hint, Ted was kind and patient. Anyway, putting you on notice to stop keeping Sona down! We may need to start a revolution. Matt will be a great consultant with all his knowledge of battles and war strategy…..and he’ll make sure we all observe proper dress manners. Really love all three of you….you’ve completely changed my misguided opinion of Mr. O’Brien.

Amazing Podcast
Been listening since the beginning but your discussion about AI at the end of the Ed Helms episode had me in stitches. Please discuss Rocco’s Basilica more.

Consistently funny- and I’m picky
I liked Conan before, but now he’s my favorite. Consistently funny, love the back and forth between the 3 of them and adore getting a truer picture of Conan’s ‘real’ personality behind his persona. This is my go-to podcast.

I love listening to this podcast. It got me through the pandemic. Sona cracks me up and I like the she takes no crap from Conan. Matt and Sona ganging up on Conan is always hilarious. Conan is also a good sport through all of it! LOL!
