I remember when Conan paid out of his own pocket for his crew for like months. Mad respect for Conan the last G of late night

Conan is an absolute legend. When the writers strike of 2007 happened he kept spinning his wedding ring just to fill airtime and he managed to keep his show entertaining.

Even more so is the fact that he paid the salaries of nearly 80 staff members whose jobs were idled because of the strike out of his own pocket.

The idea that Corden couldn’t name 2 of his camera people is insane.

Last Week Tonight is doing amazingly because no one cares about shallow celeb interviews and Oliver has essentially taken to doing full length 'video essays' about relevant and sometimes niche topics

The fact Corden exploited Alice Coopers actual phobia for entertainment is actually horrific. Thats like a torture method.

Conan saw it coming years ago, so he tried to adjust to the YouTube format until the quarantine happened and he saw the perfect opportunity to start fresh. A comedic genius and a once-in-a-lifetime entertainment master, but makes you wonder what that brain could have done if he was in another industry altogether.

I attended a taping of James Cordon’s show in 2018. I was visiting friends in LA and it was free. I’d never been to a show taping before, but I found it odd that between takes and off camera, he didn’t speak to a single person. He was glued to his phone the entire time and didn’t make eye contact with a single staffer, even the ones walking up to him to touch up his hair or give him something. The whole energy was “I don’t wanna be here” and then boom the charm came back on as soon as they started recording again

the title of this video has certainly aged interestingly in 2025. what a time to be recommended this

It is honestly shocking to me that Leno had any fans left AT ALL after what he did to Conan. I'm so glad that Conan gained such a following and had such a successful show, he's genuinely the only late night host that I find enjoyable.

I like to pretend eddy is standing in my room staring at me silently at night before i sleep, thats kind of like my own late night tv if you think about it. Thanks eddy :)

Eddy's bit about the crosswalk is a sad reminder that morbius and rainforest cafe have completely ruined the pleasure response mechanism in his brain 😢. Get well soon Eddy ❤️

This video aged interestingly, we knew it would die… but not like this💀

Considering the current writers strike, it’s relevant to mention another instance of James being an asshole to crew is when he showed up to a private WGA meeting to advocate for lower pay for late night writers

Love that Eddy went the distance and forced the studios to cause the strike just to shut down late night TV. Just don't see those levels of dedication from any other channel.

The thumbnail for this video was left on the TV for a little bit and my mom said "I can't remember his name, but I like that guy in the middle the best." And when I pointed out that that was the creator of the video and someone she had likely never seen before, she said "I like his hair and he has kind eyes." You've got untapped potential in the 60+ female market, Eddy!

Immediately thought of this video when I saw that the Late Show is being fully discontinued. I'm sure it was a mix of political and financial reasons, but man, the networks have really destroyed their own businesses by making it so oddly difficult to watch their broadcasts in the modern age.

One of the biggest moments of Colbert for me personally is when he asked Keanu what happens when we die, perhaps setting up for a more or less simple answer of how Reeves feels about the afterlife, but instead it allowed Reeves to draw on his experiences and respond "I know that the people who love us will miss us", and while that may not seem particularly deep to some people to those who have experienced such close familial loss (including both Reeves and Colbert), it was a deeply poignant moment of wisdom that isn't often heard in a late night interview. I had recently lost my brother at the time that clip surfaced and it hit me in the same way it hit Colbert in that moment. Sure I may not laugh at all his segments, but I really appreciate that moment happening.

Really early on in the pandemic, mathematician Matt Parker put out an incredible video specifically targeting the now-at-home late night show hosts, teaching them how to use cameras and get good angles and such; Seth Meyers specifically called out Parker and gave thanks, and eventually had him in the audience for a taping of Corrections.  Cheers to the unsung hero Matt Parker.

Honestly, I think Conan is the only actually likeable person in the whole bunch. He's also shown he can do more than just be a late night host.
