Who knew Scut Farkus was so funny? It’s so inspirational to see someone turn their life around in such a dramatic fashion. From wanting bully to needing a friend. From making people cry in a bad way to making them cry from laughing. Scut, you’ve done a great job of ridding yourself completely of the urge to ridicule and belittle. It’s wonderful to witness. Good luck with your search, I know one day you WILL find a friend.

I was listening to your recent episode with Andy Samberg while at the gym! HUGE MISTAKE! I laughed so hard and almost dropped my weights several times! There should be a warning not to exercise while listening! From now on while working out I will stick to true crime!

This podcast is basically an hour-long hostage situation where Conan O’Brien forces celebrities to validate him while he derails every conversation into a story about himself. Imagine a 6’4” traffic cone with daddy issues and a microphone—that’s the vibe. Guests show up ready to talk, but Conan bulldozes them with monologues about his legs, his career, or how he’s secretly the funniest person alive. Sona plays the role of a human eye-roll, laughing just enough to keep her paycheck, while Matt Gourley sits there like a man quietly questioning every decision that led him to babysitting a narcissistic scarecrow. It’s chaotic, exhausting, and absolutely hilarious—like watching a clown cry while juggling knives. Five stars.

Conan is in the movie ‘If I Had Legs I’d Kick You’. A$AP Rocky is in it. I think it would be awesome if he came on the show to promote the movie and also the nuances of hip hop as one of the true American art forms. Conan has been ending most episodes by just saying “Tupac” so he must know pretty much everything. RIP A$AP YAMS

I really like the Jordan Schlansky episodes. He has a broad range of interests. A spectrum, if you will.

Thank you to the whole crew!! I’ve had my struggles with mental health over the past year. Growing up watching Conan I have always found him hilarious! This podcast has helped me so much to stay positive when life is throwing you curve balls! I subscribed to Sirus just for this show! Keep up the hilarious content! (Flula Borg episodes are hilarious)

I’ve been a Conan fan since my high school days, staying up late to watch his late-night show and even attending a taping in the late ’90s. Conan has always been a gifted interviewer, and the early episodes of this podcast reflected that. I especially enjoyed when he wove his love of history into conversations. That’s why the past several months have been such a letdown. While I understand his preference to keep comedy evergreen and avoid direct ties to current events, completely sidestepping any commentary on the current state of world feels like a missed opportunity and I have zero tolerance left for those who aren’t using their platform. More broadly, the podcast’s tone has shifted. The sharp, engaging interviews where guest were given space to speak have been replaced with long stretches of Hollywood insiders laughing at their own jokes. The humor occasionally veers into objectifying women, which in 2025 is not only outdated but uncomfortable to hear. It’s disappointing to see someone of Conan’s skill and experience still leaning on that framing. The team is clearly having a great time, but they don’t seem to realize that not everyone listening is along for the ride. Too often, it feels like sitting at the “popular kids” table in the school cafeteria: lots of inside jokes, little self-awareness, and not much substance. I’ve found myself tuning out or just note listening lately, because there are better ways to spend an hour.

How about Jimmy Vivino as a guest? Or maybe on Inside Conan (a very important podcast). Seems like he’d have a very interesting story to tell.

Conan O’Brien needs a friend is one of my favorite podcast because it’s very relaxing and I love the celebrity that he talks to are some of my favorite celebrities that he bring on his Quinta

I am providing this good review bc I had previously written a bad one when I thought some content was never available to non-subscribers… but was wrong. I wanted to just delete my review but it wouldn’t let me and it felt disingenuous to leave up a bad review for a podcast I literally listen to every single episode of. I don’t like it enough to pay extra for early access but alas.

I was relaxing in my yurt giving my raccoon his nightly bubble bath when I heard Conan O'Brian needed a friend! Throwing down all five of my Indian pennines, I leaped to my feet threw open my window shutters and shouted: "YAWP!"

I’ve been listening/watching Conan since the early days of The Late Show. Huge fan. The ads for this show continue to increase and interrupt the show constantly. The latest Chill Chums episodes are literally 50% lame ads interspersed with lackluster conversation. It feels like Conan is getting tired and/or burned out, and the podcast is becoming a pure cash grab. I still listen out of love for Conan, but more and more I just delete the episode if I’m not interested in the guest. Previously unthinkable with Conan.

One of my favorite podcasts, especially when Sona and Matt are participating more. But the Odenkirk inside jokes episode,combined with the fascist-Mamet love fest, was a not a good one. More Jim Gaffigan and truly funny folks

I received my Conan&Sona&Gorley t-shirt, which I ordered even after the emotional roller coaster of Kevin (Saturday night live guy, last name not sure of)… I mean I am just a blue collar guy looking for a cheap laugh but then I’m left questioning everything, confused yet …nope just confused…oh yeah Kevin nealon(sp?). Anyway I got this t-shirt. I’m trying to explain this to my Japanese wife so just like…nevermind. I like you Conan and you podcast friends too. I get it, except for Nealon, but yeah. Big fan since the early 90’s. I also have a t-shirt.

but holy moly, brother… let jon stewart squeeze a word in. eeesh

Why is she yelling? There’s a microphone.

Conan is a comedy genius and this pod keeps me laughing and helps me so much. I know one day me and Conan will be friends. Meeting him would be a dream at this point. Love the gang and hope you guys continue this successful goldmine. This was from my heart my own words. Would you like ChatGPT to punch this up again?

I can always guarantee a laugh when I listen to these episodes. Even when the interviewee isn’t my cup of tea, listening to Matt, sona and Conan talk at the beginning and end of each episode is perfection. Also…FLULA!! My all time favorite episodes are when he is on. I’m glad you all introduced us to him.

The show itself is great and always funny but now I have to pay a monthly subscription to Sirius to listen to it?? I know Conan has to pay for that beach house but squeezing me for another $5 a month when I already pay for a Sirius subscription is ridiculous.

I love the show, have been a fan of yours from the early days of late night! I have two specific questions about the end credits that I cannot stop thinking about: 1. In early episodes, Matt would say something in the end credits like “with Conan O’Brien, AS HIMSELF!” Who else was he going to be, and why was he the only one playing himself?? 2. This is less important, but I noticed that every time Matt reads the end credits, part of it has some sick reverb. I assume this is a mistake, but also I like it and think it should stay. Thank you and good day.

to join all the late night hosts.

Dear Conan, You mentioned that you’d like to see Flula in a relationship, and I’d like to throw my hat in the ring. I’m a 34 year old Restaurant Manager in fine dining who loves to cook, 43% German myself, I also enjoy lifting semi-heavy objects in a sequential manner, and I have seen Little House on the Prairie as well. Funnily enough, I have been working on a Chelalendar (a Chelsea calendar) where I combine two icons into one amazing character. There’s Eartha Kit Harrington, Lin Manuel Miranda Lambert, but my favorite month is The Dalai Parton. As someone who rarely dates myself, I’d be happy to be bauchtasche shopping buddies if that’s more Flula’s pace. No pressure. You, Sona and Matt have helped me get ready for my day over the past 6 years, and Conan thank you for letting me vicariously travel the world with you since Conan Without Borders. All my Liebe, Chelsea from Houston

I listened to the Flula Borg episode twice. There is nothing like Conan’s and Flula’s banter. Flula’s quick wit is the absolute best.

Great line Matt!

is Mark Maron

You talked over Maron the whole time

Podcast is good has lot of potential. can’t believe Marc Marin died for this

I'm just thankful I'm not the not the only person still saying "it's Petering Out" while my young colleagues look at me as though I'm an alien pervert! Where does that even come from?! Who's Peter?! What did he "Peter Put?!"

I really can’t believe you all are charging us to listen to you talk. How money hungry is your team?! Was a fan… not anymore

as a fellow ginger i am required to like conan o’brien, but even if i wasn’t ginger i would still love him

Love how it’s so naturally hilarious and warm

I feel smart listening to conan ramble i do 1 he walks frequently and i pop on some conan then boom i feel bigger better more of a man but even a better human piece of ham

Conan’s pod has become redundant and he’s clearly focused on other projects. It used to be a good show but now it’s become boring.

I wrote a scathing review of the show but it hasn't shown up so not sure if it worked or not. The short version is "blah blah blah there are a lot of podcasts so I'm mad but this and two other ones are good enough to make me not as mad and the other two are Maron's and the Talking Dead guy blah blah blah something about cajun and mexican dishes"

hilarious

This is an amazing podcast, is listen to like ten hours of it a week, please keep making it for at least 5 more years so I can enjoy it more, and so I can become old enough to be Conan O’Brien needs a friend

Love the interaction between Conan and his guests and staff. Adds upliftment to my day.

My years old review was don’t skip the Hannah Gadsby episode cause she’s amazing and Conan and team support that. But now they’ve sold out and my friends we need a laugh and having to wait is helping no one.

Love the show ain’t paying for it

Obv my favorite podcast, etc. But really here to promote YayBoo - the triple-sized chewing gum in Conan’s favorite flavors - Pinot Noir, Margherita pizza, and (of course) HAM!! All kidding aside, normal-flavored sugarless giant YayBoo chewing gum with Conan branding would be a hit. Didn’t realize how foolish and insufficient one piece of gum was until Conan pointed it out.

That’s all.

Love the banter between Conan, Sona, and Matt! I sometimes only listen to the top and skip to the end of the podcast. Summer Smores are the best episodes! As a fan, please refrain from jokes about sexual assault and the “r” word. This is traumatic for victims of SA as well as friends and family of victims who experienced secondhand trauma. I know it’s not meant maliciously but I’ve had to turn off the podcast at these “jokes.”

Just as, like, a heads up. Signed, a Yeti

It was odd hearing the 10-16 year olds being referred to as women when they are in fact children. Every generation of which learns to deal with creepy adult men who take an “interest” in them, even when their mothers are the chaperone

You didn't give Mike Birbiglia much time to talk! I bet if we counted the minutes, we'd find you hogged the mic…

I will move this to 5 stars if you bring back Ron Chernow to talk about Ulysses S Grant. Please man I am begging you, I don’t want leave 1 star but sometimes I gotta take one for the team of history dorks.

I’ve listened to a lot of comedy podcasts—some good, some meh—but this one? Next level. And honestly, the secret sauce? Sona. Her laugh isn’t just a background sound, it’s a full-on co-star. It makes every moment funnier, every awkward pause iconic, and every episode feel like you’re hanging out with your funniest friend. Let’s be clear: you can never fire Sona. I said what I said. She’s the backbone, the vibe, the laugh we never knew we needed but now can’t live without. Other podcasts could never. 🔥😂👑

Bom ba ba bom ba bom ba bom bom ba ba bom ba ba bom ba ba dang a dang dang ba ba ding a dong ding Good Pod!

While driving six hours with my dad (the longest time I’ve driven since I got my license last month) Cranon and his compatriots kept me from gunning it off of a cliff side and plummeting to our glorious deaths while the A-team theme played (it was grueling hours of trees and trees and trees) that said how many nails would it take be considered a bed of nails cause like you can’t just lay on ten nails and call it a bed of nails. Anyway keep up the mediocre performance (kidding) love you guys

Hey Conan, I just wanted to chime in and say that I’ve seen Dead Calm and it’s my favorite of the Nicole Kidman/Billy Zane/Sam Neill/sailboat genre. Also, please have Brett Goldstein as a guest!! Thanks
