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.

Insanity

I started this pcast 6 months ago and I just hit the 5 year anniversary episode. I think it’s safe to say I’m losing my mind. I did realize that after 5 years Conan still hasn’t really made any friends. In light of this I have some suggestions for better titles for the show. 1. Conan O’Brien: Please Giggle 2. Conan O’Brien: No One Asked 3. Conan O’Brien: Intelligent Toddler 4. Conan O’Brien: Do My Bits Look Funny? 5. Conan O’Brien: Poor Man’s Carrot Top’s Sister. Anyhoo, love the silliness. Keep it up; 5 stars.

Taylor Tomlinson

I could not listen to more than 15 min of this one due to her use of “like” in every sentence. Ugh.

Great but..

I think Conan could incorporate more old timey songs from the 1920s that are now part of the public domain. I am 107 years old.
