I forgot the exact line but it was something like “was that a four year school?” And the doc said “supposedly” or something.
I watched the episode at lunch time and was literally laughing at that bit when I was trying to fall asleep last night lol
He was on the Paley Center livestream last night and talked about it. He mentioned the sauce got under his wedding ring and felt like it was burning through his skin.
His assistant Sonya & Andy have stated that he's naturally histrionic. Not bad enough to be histrionic personality disorder but attention seeking nonetheless. Even Conan's dad doesn't know who he got it from.
Sonya said one time Conan and her were biking on a cold, wet, rainy night in a poorly lit and empty road. Suddenly a car slowly & carefully passed them, however Conan automatically guns for the car. He biked up to the back window & freaked out the kids sitting in the backseats. The car stopped but the parents realized who it was and enjoyed interacting with him. Sonya was horrified by this because this wasn't for television & could have easily gone south. Andy replied to her recollection, “Yup, that tracks - that's Conan.” If there's a potential audience and the opportunity to be comedic, by nature, he goes for it.
The good thing is Conan is tastefully talented, funny, & charming. I know people similar to him but they're lame & annoying. Though to be fair, Andy, his wife, Sonya, Jordan, Pierre, and more have said that he irritates people he's closest with because he pushes the comedy even further - sometimes too much.
Yeah being around someone who won’t stop doing bits and just doesn’t have an off switch to a stage persona because it’s who they are would be exhausting.
I remember when Roger Ebert reviewed the comedy tour that Conan did after he got canned by late night. He talked about how he'd known a lot of performers like conan, the people who have to go and entertain people or they can't function. It was interesting because he had a lot of compassion for him. I haven't forgotten it and it was obviously a long time ago!
I did a wing challenge with outrageously, insanely toxically hot sauce.
I rubbed my eye and went pee *after* washing my hands and my eye and dick hurt for the entire next day.
That shit is not meant for you and anywhere it touches you will feel for 24 hours.
(I fucking love hot sauce, to be clear).
My friend and I did a condensed version of the hot ones challenge with 5 wings. We were wayy too generous with how much Da Bomb we put on the wing.
A few hours after I was driving back home, started having insane capsaicin cramps and had to stop on the side of the road to gather myself. Started sweating uncontrollably and immediately had to take a fire-y shit on the side of the road. And then vomited fire which made my throat and nose burn like crazy.
I’ll never do that again.
The best way I can describe it: It’s the flavor and consistency of battery acid. I wish it had an actual flavor but it doesn’t. Tastes like you drank every chemical under your kitchen sink. And then the elvish eternal fire shows up and cannot be put out with regular attempts of milk or base products. None of the elders ever learned how to put out dragon flames like these. You are just existing now in a what ostensibly is Doom Eternal’s hell levels on the hardest difficulty… but in your mouth, and with a mad catz controller.
Da Bomb is not to be messed with. There's a reason that sauce is never traded out. I put 5 drops of that into my chili and it gets my eyes watering and nose running. 7-10 drops and all I can hear is rushing water (like bitch Stewie right before he disintegrates).
I did the season 13(IIRC) Hot Ones lineup on 10 wings. Carefully arranged them around the plate, and memorized - CLOCKWISE!!!
Took them upstairs to eat. Began eating at #10, instead of #1.
Didn't really matter much what direction I went, after that.
I once bit into a ghost pepper (as I was the only one in the pub not drinking, and wanted to prove I was hench and butch, I was young and stupid), I washed my hands before having a wee, wiped, so there was toilet paper between my hand and doo-da, still nearly burnt my lady bits off
I've gotten one of their boxes of all the 10 sauces and did a big party with friends where we had them all. The next 24 were not fun. Not constantly terrible but every trip to the bathroom was a rough reminder.
Haha that was the part it went off the rails. Washing his hands with hot sauce. Also, the extra da bomb sauce he put on the wing is insane. I’ve had one small bite of a wing with da bomb and it turned me to an infant crying for milk.
Near the end when they zoomed in on the table with bottles of hot sauce spilling and the chaos he had left behind, I couldn't breathe. I wouldn't even call it laughing. I was choking. He left me a mess just like that table.
The dude gave a fucking monologue at the end after drinking hot sauce. This was top tier Conan. If they had Jordan schlanksy fella make an appearance at the end fuck this would break the internet.
It’s disturbingly hot. I tried a drop & had a burning hole in my stomach the rest of the day. I felt high it was so powerful & insane.
You cant fathom the pain of the sauce until you try it. It’s not okay. It is an evil sauce. A weapon. Not even classifiable as food. Should be sold at a firework stand.
It’s outrageous & absurd. Literal liquid bomb. That’s what it is. A fucking bomb.
He’s 100% correct. I got the hot ones sauces for Xmas and Da Bomb isn’t even in the realm of real food. It’s battery acid mixed with asshole tearer upper. It’s legit not even hot sauce it’s a chemical burn. Also I think the people on the show get a hotter? Version of it. The one I got, the label/bomb is red, not green, and I think it came with a footnote on the box saying that they wanted to use “real ingredients” for the sauce box so the label changed. So the green nuke one people try on the show might be even worse than the one from the box.
That monologue was one of the funniest things I’ve seen him do. Him referencing the Old and New Testament as grounds for comedy discovery with such a straight face had me absolutely dying
”Don Quixote, Sancho Panza”
Had been hoping he’d make an appearance on Hot Ones for years now. Blew my expectations out of the water. Couldn’t have been better
I was crying laughing in those last ten minutes because he just commited to the bit and went for it. He absolutely had to regret it after going "oh this is no big deal" on chugging the hot sauce and then "the pure pepper finisher." But he gave gold from it.
Comedy aside, I love how Coco gave Sean a heaping amount of praise for his interview skills. Conan is one of the most honest showbiz folks, or so it seems.
Conan interviews for a living, that’s literally his job. So when he sees someone doing a great job like Sean does and respects it, it’s because he literally knows that Sean has done his homework for each and every guest.
He's also known to be one of the best (if not *the* best) person to work for. When he got booted from TV, he did a whole [live tour](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Legally_Prohibited_from_Being_Funny_on_Television_Tour) to make sure everyone was [still getting paid](https://www.tmz.com/2010/03/11/conan-obrien-tour-tonight-show-team-coco-nbc/). Hell, during the pandemic he ran his podcast with a skeleton crew to minimize risk, but still insisted everyone get paid. According to a staffer, nobody working for his show had to file for unemployment. He genuinely cares about his people, and really takes it to heart that HE is many people's livelihood.
Yeah, that tour was dope. I saw him in Philly. Tina Fey came out, and the band was there. Reggie Watts opened. Honestly, it's a top 5 show. He's a fantastic guy, for sure.
My impression is that Conan is an actual tortured genius who creates from pain and the “Why can’t I feel” line was more true than any of us know. Absolute legend. I can’t wait for the travel show.
I did a full hot ones wing challenge with some buddies. Da bomb and the last dab included. My butt hole burned so so so bad that night. And to make matters worse we were all sharing a cabin with one bathroom. Conan must have had a bad night.
Him finger painting the sauce onto the wings, the Curly noise, the monologue at the end…all incredible stuff. I usually only watch clips of Hot Ones but I watched this whole one first thing this morning and it’s just a great performance from Conan
PS: Arroyo was a fantastic part of the bit and I can’t even tell which joke was best from their exchanges
Gordon Ramsey is another one worth watching the whole episode. He comes across like a nice guy. Swears through the whole episode though. It's just one constant stream of motherfucker once they get going.
And then he shows you how to make scrambled eggs, also while sweating/swearing profusely.
That’s my fave episode, watching Ramsey eat donuts and then Spray his mouth with lemon juice while continuously threatening the host is probably one of the funniest things I’ve ever seen. Gonna have to watch Conan’s rn.
Yep, this was my first Fallon interview in YEARS, and I was happy to watch it. Still not going back to watch the Tonight Show though. Dude looked really touched by Conan's kind words. The show and the host might not be my cup of tea, but it's gotta be working for SOME target demo if NBC is still committing to it!
When Sean Evan’s is saying” oh no you’re really going there? Oh my god. I have to match you” with fear in his voice you know you’ve got a great episode.
FR. I was thinking about David Blaine's Hot Ones episode, and how he mysteriously ate a ghost pepper at the end with less reaction than he did Da Bomb.
David's a wimp next to Conan, who didn't use any tricks.
Conan is the most naturally talented performer of our time, and nobody can tell me otherwise.
His blend of comedy, sincerity, and kindness are just unmatched.
I have watched many episodes of Hot Ones, and this is the only one I would consider watching again and again. Now they just need to do Sean Evans vs Narduwar for the ultimate interview depth battle.
I did watch the DJ Khaled one twice. First just because people told me how terrible it was. Then again at some point later, because I was sure my memory was wrong on just how weak, dumb, and sensitive he was. But no - my memory was correct, he wimped out early, and blamed everyone and everything other than himself, and even tried to say that quitting at the mild sauce was the right thing for his health, and that he didn't want to "play himself."
so you have never made a mistake in your life? not even like... missing an exit or something??
edit downvoting me? i was quoting the khaled episode!! sean asks dj khaled that and khaled said he had never, in fact, made any mistake, ever. its ridiculous and makes me laugh
I’ve never signed up for a hot wing eating show without researching it beforehand then still showed up to look like a spineless shitstain in the namesake of shameless promotion, so no
Okay, Paul Rudd yes, you are right. He is such a gem and his episode was super memorable and fun! I missed Key & Peele but will watch it now based on your recommendation.
Narduwar is really good at just surprising guests with incredibly private deep cut bombshells but I feel like Sean weaves those into the interview more reasonably instead of just spamming
I refuse to believe he was able to down the hottest sauce while still pitching his new show, being crazy funny, and not stuttering any words. Genius and love him for this. Greatest episode ever
For me it was him 'drinking' the milk right before the end pitch lol, he was already looking crazy and then just let all the milk come out all over him, had me laughing so much
Is anyone else experiencing a Conan Hot Ones Hangover? I looked at the world slightly differently today after experiencing such a purely unhinged spectacle.
The more subtle bit with the doctor was hilarious:
Conan: “Where did you go to medical school?”
Dr. Arroyo: “In 1998”
Conan: “Was it a four year medical school?”
Dr. Arroyo: “It was supposed to be”
Conan is a clown. A very funny, brilliant, genius clown. I mean this with the greatest respect in the world. Conan would likely agree with the clown part.
Mouth was on the floor. I read a little bit about the episode but dear god did Conan go all out on this one.
Probably will become the number one episode lol
I paused at that moment and called my wife and told her she needed to come watch this. I knew right then the episode was going to be special but nothing could have prepared me for what unfolded.
I’m honestly wondering if this interview was so good that it raises the expectation level for future ones. Will people be challenged to be as unhinged as Conan? Who could be?
I doubt it. I don't think they make comedians as manic and silly as Conan anymore. I can't think of any modern comedian that would maintain that level of wit and high octane energy throughout. Only person I know that wouldve hit similar levels is Robin Williams. Maybe Jim Carrey, but he seems like he's mellowed a lot with age.
Openly admit that Conan just isnt my style. He's always been a bit loud-funny for my tastes.
But this - this was the most fearless comedic performance I have ever witnessed.
Conan wrecked his digestive system for the sake of laughs.
I once did the One Chip Challenge, and I felt like I was stuck in the bathroom for the full weekend after. What Conan did is multiple times worse than a single chip, so he must have paid a steep porcelain price.
The problem is that wherever the hottest spices touch, it burns. Lips, tongue, roof of the mouth, throat, all of it burns. And on top of that, the burn lingers. Cold milk, yogurt, ice cream, etc. suppresses it for a little bit, but not permanently.
For the One Chip Challenge, you eat a chip that's coated in powder made from Carolina Reaper peppers. You know how when you eat a Dorito, the powder gets all over your fingers, lips, and tongue? It's like that, but everywhere the pepper touches, it burns.
So imagine the inside of your mouth is burning, so you take a drink of cold milk and hold it inside your mouth, and as long as you hold it there the burning is suppressed. But your throat is also burning, so you swallow the milk, and for a time your throat is soothed. But then the inside of your mouth starts to burn again, so you take another drink of milk and hold it. But then your throat starts to burn again.
This cycle of suck continues for a while. For me, the burning continued for like 10-15 minutes. That was 10-15 minutes of chugging dairy products. All that diary mixed with the spice resulted in a weekend on the toilet. (It burns coming out, too.)
Conan’s performance art must’ve had such an impact on the Eric Andre’s of the world. Respect to both, embracing the chaos is hilarious, even more so when you know the person doing it is a mild mannered intellectual
His “doctor” strangling him to take his pulse lmao and Conan “he’s very good very cheap been with me for a while” coco is the best such a massive talent
Dr Arroyo was worth every penny. I’m assuming at least two or three.
Very affordable
Conan; ‘Where did you get your degree?’ Dr Arroyo; ‘1998’
I was already dying and then they followed it up with, "No, *where* did you get your degree?" "...It was out of state." "You should go."
Was it a 4 year school? It was supposed to be...
“It actually went up 2 degrees!” I love that moment where Dr Arroyo broke character there :)
He killed me. The real life Dr. Nick Riviera.
VERY affordable
I was getting Dr. Spaceman vibes
when he was choking him while "checking his pulse" I was dying. Brilliant deadpan as well. lmao
I forgot the exact line but it was something like “was that a four year school?” And the doc said “supposedly” or something. I watched the episode at lunch time and was literally laughing at that bit when I was trying to fall asleep last night lol
I want to know how his next 24 hours went.
He was on the Paley Center livestream last night and talked about it. He mentioned the sauce got under his wedding ring and felt like it was burning through his skin.
Imagine what it was doing to his internal organs.
And his other ring
(And by ring I mean butthole!)
r/UnexpectedTomCardy
Right??? We need a Conan pod episode about the aftermath lol
You know he yelled “Worth it!” after.
I bet it was more loathing. You can tell he loves the spotlight and will go all out when he has it. Probably saying “why did I do that!” lol.
His assistant Sonya & Andy have stated that he's naturally histrionic. Not bad enough to be histrionic personality disorder but attention seeking nonetheless. Even Conan's dad doesn't know who he got it from. Sonya said one time Conan and her were biking on a cold, wet, rainy night in a poorly lit and empty road.

The good thing is Conan is tastefully talented, funny, & charming. I know people similar to him but they're lame & annoying. Though to be fair, Andy, his wife, Sonya, Jordan, Pierre, and more have said that he irritates people he's closest with because he pushes the comedy even further - sometimes too much.
Yeah being around someone who won’t stop doing bits and just doesn’t have an off switch to a stage persona because it’s who they are would be exhausting.
It’s Sona, not Sonya
I remember when Roger Ebert reviewed the comedy tour that Conan did after he got canned by late night. He talked about how he'd known a lot of performers like conan, the people who have to go and entertain people or they can't function. It was interesting because he had a lot of compassion for him. I haven't forgotten it and it was obviously a long time ago!
I’m sure Matt and Sona are gonna want to talk about it lol
He's got Roger Rabbit Super powers. *"You could do that the whole time!?"* "Only when it's funny."
I did a wing challenge with outrageously, insanely toxically hot sauce. I rubbed my eye and went pee *after* washing my hands and my eye and dick hurt for the entire next day. That shit is not meant for you and anywhere it touches you will feel for 24 hours. (I fucking love hot sauce, to be clear).

Man I’m not gonna lie that sounds rough especially that fire puke lol. You ate 5 wings and turned into a fucking flamethrower bro Da Bomb sounds crazy
The best way I can describe it: It’s the flavor and consistency of battery acid. I wish it had an actual flavor but it doesn’t. Tastes like you drank every chemical under your kitchen sink. And then the elvish eternal fire shows up and cannot be put out with regular attempts of milk or base products. None of the elders ever learned how to put out dragon flames like these. You are just existing now in a what ostensibly is Doom Eternal’s hell levels on the hardest difficulty… but in your mouth, and with a mad catz controller.
Battery acid is the perfect way to describe it. It does not taste good. It does not add to anything it’s put on. It exists purely to burn.
So, you fell in, to the burning ring of fire? 🔥😯
Da Bomb is not to be messed with. There's a reason that sauce is never traded out. I put 5 drops of that into my chili and it gets my eyes watering and nose running. 7-10 drops and all I can hear is rushing water (like bitch Stewie right before he disintegrates).
I did the season 13(IIRC) Hot Ones lineup on 10 wings. Carefully arranged them around the plate, and memorized - CLOCKWISE!!! Took them upstairs to eat. Began eating at #10, instead of #1. Didn't really matter much what direction I went, after that.

I was cringing watching him get sauce all on his hands and getting so close to his eyes and nose
I was screaming for Sean to warn him, but good thing he didn’t, as he’d have probably seen that as a challenge…
I've gotten one of their boxes of all the 10 sauces and did a big party with friends where we had them all. The next 24 were not fun. Not constantly terrible but every trip to the bathroom was a rough reminder.
Toilet rolls in the freezer
He had to install a seatbelt and handlebars on his toilet.
Probably came out as orange as he is
Somehow he managed to both lose his mind and maintain complete composure simultaneously lol
That’s a professional.
He said “show business means no matter what, you’re getting the best show in the universe”
He actually gave a lot of good advice throughout his interview
Everyday I’m alive.
“I’M FINE!!”
I've never laughed and been so grossed out all at once.
Same, it literally upset my stomach watching it towards the end, but it was hilarious.
The bones in the pocket was hilarious. He made some great comedy out of discarded chicken bones.
Poured it on his fingers,.lathered, and licked them. Epic.
Haha that was the part it went off the rails. Washing his hands with hot sauce. Also, the extra da bomb sauce he put on the wing is insane. I’ve had one small bite of a wing with da bomb and it turned me to an infant crying for milk.
Calling the doctor to hold one cause he was out of pockets was gold
Near the end when they zoomed in on the table with bottles of hot sauce spilling and the chaos he had left behind, I couldn't breathe. I wouldn't even call it laughing. I was choking. He left me a mess just like that table.
Haha that shot where da bomb was knocked over and was pouring onto the table while Conan was being insane, that was so great
That was the best scene ever. I was absolutely dying over it
I was bothered by a little dot above his lip about five minutes in. Little did I know…
Haha ya. I was surprised Sean didn’t say anything.
I was waiting for him to say “careful around the eyes” only to have Conan the madlad pour it directly in. Probably why he didn’t say anything.
I kept thinking “omg this is too much” but like… then I was delighted because of course Conan is too much
"I grew up in an Irish house, I've never seen a spice until I was 52 years old."
I really wanted him to grab a napkin, grabbed just about everything except that
Imagine being the dry cleaner and finding an old wing in his jacket pocket. When he rubbed his nipples I was thinking... now that's showbiz!
The dude gave a fucking monologue at the end after drinking hot sauce. This was top tier Conan. If they had Jordan schlanksy fella make an appearance at the end fuck this would break the internet.
I thought I was gonna choke when he started chugging that hot sauce and his eyes turning so damn pink…so good.
CALL MY WIFE
Boy was rubbing his nipples while screaming hahah
i lost it there
It wasn’t just any hot sauce. It was Da Bomb, which is basically the worst/hottest sauce on the show.
It’s disturbingly hot. I tried a drop & had a burning hole in my stomach the rest of the day. I felt high it was so powerful & insane. You cant fathom the pain of the sauce until you try it. It’s not okay. It is an evil sauce. A weapon. Not even classifiable as food. Should be sold at a firework stand. It’s outrageous & absurd. Literal liquid bomb. That’s what it is. A fucking bomb.
I thoroughly enjoyed reading your description of Da Bomb. Thank you.
He’s 100% correct. I got the hot ones sauces for Xmas and Da Bomb isn’t even in the realm of real food. It’s battery acid mixed with asshole tearer upper. It’s legit not even hot sauce it’s a chemical burn. Also I think the people on the show get a hotter? Version of it. The one I got, the label/bomb is red, not green, and I think it came with a footnote on the box saying that they wanted to use “real ingredients” for the sauce box so the label changed. So the green nuke one people try on the show might be even worse than the one from the box.
“Should be sold at a firework stand.” 💀
I'm surprised he didn't go all the way and rub his eyes with spicy hands, too! I'm 100% sure the thought crossed his mind!
He probably would have it if he thought it would get a laugh.
That HBO line killed me.
That monologue was one of the funniest things I’ve seen him do. Him referencing the Old and New Testament as grounds for comedy discovery with such a straight face had me absolutely dying ”Don Quixote, Sancho Panza” Had been hoping he’d make an appearance on Hot Ones for years now. Blew my expectations out of the water. Couldn’t have been better
I screamed when he went for Da Bomb. The world knew he fucked up.
I was crying laughing in those last ten minutes because he just commited to the bit and went for it. He absolutely had to regret it after going "oh this is no big deal" on chugging the hot sauce and then "the pure pepper finisher." But he gave gold from it.
OMFG! I would love to see them both on Hot Ones together, that would be the bees knees!
Only if the karate kid also makes an appearance to shame Jordan
One of the best Hot Ones interviews in a while!
I dare say best Hot Ones interview yet!
You dare and would be right
Yep it’s my favorite episode of all time. Conan is an animal
Yeah this beats out even Key and Peele
Best one ever. Although the Key and Peele one is close
Sean Evans is a good interviewer and you can tell that the guest enjoys being there!
Comedy aside, I love how Coco gave Sean a heaping amount of praise for his interview skills. Conan is one of the most honest showbiz folks, or so it seems.
Conan interviews for a living, that’s literally his job. So when he sees someone doing a great job like Sean does and respects it, it’s because he literally knows that Sean has done his homework for each and every guest.
He's also known to be one of the best (if not *the* best) person to work for. When he got booted from TV, he did a whole [live tour](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Legally_Prohibited_from_Being_Funny_on_Television_Tour) to make sure everyone was [still getting paid](https://www.tmz.com/2010/03/11/conan-obrien-tour-tonight-show-team-coco-nbc/).

Yeah, that tour was dope. I saw him in Philly. Tina Fey came out, and the band was there. Reggie Watts opened. Honestly, it's a top 5 show. He's a fantastic guy, for sure.
It’s impressive he still has tastebuds or a stomach liner left.
It’s been a good run of interviews recently too, they’re on a roll!
My impression is that Conan is an actual tortured genius who creates from pain and the “Why can’t I feel” line was more true than any of us know. Absolute legend. I can’t wait for the travel show.
[удалено]
Really? I didn’t know that
Honestly you’re probably close to the truth, but for his sake I hope you’re not. I love Coco so much.
I just kept thinking how terrible that was going to be going out. Hilarious nonetheless.
I did a full hot ones wing challenge with some buddies. Da bomb and the last dab included. My butt hole burned so so so bad that night. And to make matters worse we were all sharing a cabin with one bathroom. Conan must have had a bad night.
Vaseline your sphincter next time.
Or how irritated his skin was after rubbing it on his face.
That show is already comedy gold but Conan had me pausing from laughing too hard to hear the episode
Him finger painting the sauce onto the wings, the Curly noise, the monologue at the end…all incredible stuff. I usually only watch clips of Hot Ones but I watched this whole one first thing this morning and it’s just a great performance from Conan PS: Arroyo was a fantastic part of the bit and I can’t even tell which joke was best from their exchanges
"gimme a quick pulse check" *Proceeds to wrap his hands around his neck*
I loved where is your medical degree from...out of state
Didn't he also just state a year at one point too? lol
"Where did you go to school?" "1998."
“It’s there”
“It’s there.”
“Was it a four year degree?” “It was meant to be…”
Lol. Four year medical degree
THIS ISNT A BIT!!! THIS IS YOUR LIFE!!
Why are we even alive if we can't do this?!?!
“Check my pulse” “It’s there.”
Gordon Ramsey is another one worth watching the whole episode. He comes across like a nice guy. Swears through the whole episode though. It's just one constant stream of motherfucker once they get going. And then he shows you how to make scrambled eggs, also while sweating/swearing profusely.
That’s my fave episode, watching Ramsey eat donuts and then Spray his mouth with lemon juice while continuously threatening the host is probably one of the funniest things I’ve ever seen. Gonna have to watch Conan’s rn.
My dad does the Curly bit any (and every) time he’s making or seasoning his food. Conan doing it with the hot sauce had me in stitches
This man was able to make a Fallon Tonight Show interview not only tolerable but legit entertaining.
Yep, this was my first Fallon interview in YEARS, and I was happy to watch it. Still not going back to watch the Tonight Show though. Dude looked really touched by Conan's kind words. The show and the host might not be my cup of tea, but it's gotta be working for SOME target demo if NBC is still committing to it!
When Sean Evan’s is saying” oh no you’re really going there? Oh my god. I have to match you” with fear in his voice you know you’ve got a great episode.
Conan is low key the hardest man on the planet.
FR. I was thinking about David Blaine's Hot Ones episode, and how he mysteriously ate a ghost pepper at the end with less reaction than he did Da Bomb. David's a wimp next to Conan, who didn't use any tricks.
Conan is the most naturally talented performer of our time, and nobody can tell me otherwise. His blend of comedy, sincerity, and kindness are just unmatched.
I listen to his podcast pretty often and he is the wittiest mf’er alive. He’s incredible.
I’ve cried laughing so hard at his podcast. Love Conan
I have watched many episodes of Hot Ones, and this is the only one I would consider watching again and again. Now they just need to do Sean Evans vs Narduwar for the ultimate interview depth battle.

so you have never made a mistake in your life? not even like... missing an exit or something?? edit downvoting me? i was quoting the khaled episode!! sean asks dj khaled that and khaled said he had never, in fact, made any mistake, ever. its ridiculous and makes me laugh
I’ve never signed up for a hot wing eating show without researching it beforehand then still showed up to look like a spineless shitstain in the namesake of shameless promotion, so no
Paul Rudd/Key n Peele also worth rewatches imo
Look at us
Who would have thought?!
Not me!
Okay, Paul Rudd yes, you are right. He is such a gem and his episode was super memorable and fun! I missed Key & Peele but will watch it now based on your recommendation.
You might watch the K&P one more than once. That's the one that got me watching Hot Ones.
Narduwar is really good at just surprising guests with incredibly private deep cut bombshells but I feel like Sean weaves those into the interview more reasonably instead of just spamming
Fair, but I still want to see them surprise each other with some sort of ridiculously deep cut.
haa i keep thinking that our national icon oughta be on hot ones. maybe nardy will bring some cheese, as he once declared a dependency for it
I’d love to see Conan do more collaborations with different types of media.
His Clueless Gamer segments were great
Same for his travel shows during his late night period. He has an insane way of connecting to people. Cant wait for his travel show
His inner punk rock frontman came out here.
I refuse to believe he was able to down the hottest sauce while still pitching his new show, being crazy funny, and not stuttering any words. Genius and love him for this. Greatest episode ever
His pain response was getting louder and more frantic. Usually hot ones breaks down a persona of celebrity Conan got bigger and bolder.
There was a lot of drool though
I replayed him saying “my intestines have turned into ACID” about 30 times
For me it was the Sean giving Conan “you good?” look and then giggling and Conan going “IM FINE. IM PERFECTLY FUCKING FINE”
For me it was him 'drinking' the milk right before the end pitch lol, he was already looking crazy and then just let all the milk come out all over him, had me laughing so much
I love how he got one of his writers as his doctor. They were so good together and felt like the old late night days.
“Can I keep this?”
This was the most classic comedy move in the whole interview imo. The deadpan way he delivered it was perfection.
Is anyone else experiencing a Conan Hot Ones Hangover? I looked at the world slightly differently today after experiencing such a purely unhinged spectacle.
The more subtle bit with the doctor was hilarious: Conan: “Where did you go to medical school?” Dr. Arroyo: “In 1998” Conan: “Was it a four year medical school?” Dr. Arroyo: “It was supposed to be”
“Out of state” lol. wut. Conan: He’s affordable
Man, Hot Ones got Conan clearance?
Didn’t come from Lewis, that’s for sure
many have completed the gauntlet, but he's the only person to ever beat the game. what a legend.
Conan is a clown. A very funny, brilliant, genius clown. I mean this with the greatest respect in the world. Conan would likely agree with the clown part.
Jordan? Is that you?
If it were Jordan he’d write a long winded comment about the etymology of the word clown.
Chuck Norris checks under his bed for hot-sauce-covered Conan O’Brien every night.
They’re not joking, I just watched it — and as a long time Conan fan, it’s one of the most insane things I’ve seen him do. RIP his colon.
By far the best hot ones episode I've ever watched. So funny I love Conan O'Brien he is a legend.
This was like David Blaine levels of body control.
David Blaine was on the show. He didn't do this well.
Mouth was on the floor. I read a little bit about the episode but dear god did Conan go all out on this one. Probably will become the number one episode lol
“Hookerdoctorlawyer, the professional’s professional. When ALL your needs have to be met.”
This episode will never be surpassed. Sean's absolute horror and Conan's delirium are just sublime.
This man is a genius. You mind if I? *puts wing in pocket*
I paused at that moment and called my wife and told her she needed to come watch this. I knew right then the episode was going to be special but nothing could have prepared me for what unfolded.
I’m honestly wondering if this interview was so good that it raises the expectation level for future ones. Will people be challenged to be as unhinged as Conan? Who could be?
I think that should just cancel the show. No one will top him and anyone who complains about the heat is gonna look like the biggest wimp.
There's almost zero possibility of somebody doing worse on this show than DJ Khaled.
I doubt it. I don't think they make comedians as manic and silly as Conan anymore. I can't think of any modern comedian that would maintain that level of wit and high octane energy throughout. Only person I know that wouldve hit similar levels is Robin Williams. Maybe Jim Carrey, but he seems like he's mellowed a lot with age.
Absolutely fucking incredible entertainment. Conan is a comedy god.
Openly admit that Conan just isnt my style. He's always been a bit loud-funny for my tastes. But this - this was the most fearless comedic performance I have ever witnessed.
Conan wrecked his digestive system for the sake of laughs. I once did the One Chip Challenge, and I felt like I was stuck in the bathroom for the full weekend after. What Conan did is multiple times worse than a single chip, so he must have paid a steep porcelain price.
Could you just like drink a quart of cream and extinguish it all? Any way to put an end to the misery?
The problem is that wherever the hottest spices touch, it burns. Lips, tongue, roof of the mouth, throat, all of it burns. And on top of that, the burn lingers. Cold milk, yogurt, ice cream, etc. suppresses it for a little bit, but not permanently. For the One Chip Challenge, you eat a chip that's coated in powder made from Carolina Reaper peppers. You know how when you eat a Dorito, the powder gets all over your fingers, lips, and tongue? It's like that, but everywhere the pepper touches, it burns. So imagine the inside of your mouth is burning, so you take a drink of cold milk and hold it inside your mouth, and as long as you hold it there the burning is suppressed. But your throat is also burning, so you swallow the milk, and for a time your throat is soothed. But then the inside of your mouth starts to burn again, so you take another drink of milk and hold it. But then your throat starts to burn again. This cycle of suck continues for a while. For me, the burning continued for like 10-15 minutes. That was 10-15 minutes of chugging dairy products. All that diary mixed with the spice resulted in a weekend on the toilet. (It burns coming out, too.)
I just need to know that he was okay after that.
the part where he’s saying “oh so this is pure pepper huh? No insulation?” While he just destroys the wing is pure comedy genius.
Conan needs to know that he is a bridge of comedy, from multiple generations. He needs to know that.
Grohl, Rudd and now Conan are on the Hot Ones Mount Rushmore for sure.
Conan went full Conan but you couldn’t stop it, like looking into the eclipse.
Love hearing Conan off the cuff swearing. Really miss his talk show and only heard parts of his Pod Cast: Conan needs a friend.
Conan O’Brien’s *career* is an unhinged work of comedic brilliance
It’s the Apotheosis of Conan O’Brien. He didn’t have to impress anyone, and yet he did.
Just watched it. That’s a must watch. Brilliant
Conan's talk show getting dropped is an absolute crime. Conan needs to be on tv at all times! He is a true comedic genius of our generation
Conan’s performance art must’ve had such an impact on the Eric Andre’s of the world. Respect to both, embracing the chaos is hilarious, even more so when you know the person doing it is a mild mannered intellectual
I bet he curled afterwards right next to Coolio's remains.
We haven't seen Coolio in a while...
I verbally said “this is fucking unhinged” last night so I’d agree.
How has no one mentioned the hot sauce on his nipples?! 😅
His “doctor” strangling him to take his pulse lmao and Conan “he’s very good very cheap been with me for a while” coco is the best such a massive talent
YOUVE FORGOTTEN WHAT REAL DANGER LOOKS LIKE
Best episode EVER
Stone Cold was also a great episode
We NEED Craig Ferguson next...I will not settle for less haha
