    First time I am seeing Conan O’Brien in a meme.

    The Hot Ones interview seems to have worked wonders for him and his show, regardless of which stills are taken from the interview. :D

    I’m apparently the only person who didn’t like Conan on Hot Ones. Felt so forced to me. Conan is so good at the long form interviews and conversations and he doesn’t need prepared bits, I wanted a deep and delving conversation. Wonder if Conan was insecure about being on the receiving end of questions for once.

      The best interview was the first Eric Andre one and the Alton Brown one, because Eric brings insanity with him; and Alton actually provided insight on cooking.

      The worst one was the DJ Khalid one and even Sean hated every minute of it.

      I got the sense he was really trying to do exactly what he did - make a big splash and get a lot of eyeballs on this. He somehow even got me to remember when his damn show drops.

      I think he always seems uncomfortable when the tables are turned. The recent appearance on The Tonight Show was another example.

      People like the Shaq one too, but it just made me realize he’s an asshole. That makes it a good interview, sure, but that doesn’t seem to be why people liked it.

      He says multiple times he just did it because he was asked a million times to do it. So he just goes nuts with it. I didn’t think it felt forced, it felt like he just went wild.

      I love when he broke character at the end because he was excited about Conan temperature rising 2 degrees.
