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.

Happiness Quotient

I wish Matt Damon in Good Will Hunting could solve the equation for how the alchemy of Conan, Matt, glorious Sona, and the always great guest, exponentially improves my mental and emotional health every time I listen. My happiness levels go through the roof. I’ve been a fan of Conan since I was a teen in the 90’s. I wasn’t allowed to watch his late night show but I would sneakily set the VCR to record the musical guest at the end since all the coolest bands could be found there. Loved his various shows throughout the years and now the podcast always makes my day. Meeting Conan would be a dream come true. Maybe I will someday since I can see Whidby Island from my local beach. A girl can dream. Love you guys and LOVED the intro on Cedric the Entertainer’s episode 😊❤️💖🎶 📻🎙️💓🎩🥰😍😎💗💞👍

Wanted: Conan interviews…himself

I love Conan’s Podcast. When is he having himself on his podcast though? He really needs to make friends with himself first, he’s too hard on himself. He should ask himself questions and then answer them himself. I didn’t say himself enough times…himself. 😆
Anyhoo, he makes my workday and the long commutes to Vegas for shenanigans so enjoyable. I probably look like an idiot cracking up in my car, but I don’t currrrrrr. Keep ‘em coming! 💙
