what's going to happen what's wrong with you people you don't know what real danger looks like [Music] anymore hey what's going on everybody for first week Feast I'm Sean Evans and you're watching hot ones it's the show with hot questions and even hotter wings and today we close out season 23 with Conan O'Brien he's an em awardwinning talk show host who had nearly three decade long run on late night you can keep up with him these days on Conan O'Brien needs a friend wherever you get your podcast he also has a brand new travel show visiting Conan fans all over the world it's called Conan O'Brien must go and it's set to release on Max April 18th Conan O'Brien welcome to the show Sean thanks for having me I appreciate it I ask in good faith how are you around hot sauce before we get started I grew up in an Irish house uh and an Irish Catholic home in Boston I never saw a spice till I was about 52 years old so um terrible with hot food I I grew up on tasteless food so this is a whole new experience for me [Music] if you don't mind Sean I'd like to get a quick uh Baseline read uh I brought my personal physician Dr ooyo this is Dr or Royal Hi how are you amazing hi nice to meet you you don't have to talk to him just to me um just get a Baseline temperature what are we looking at 97.8 97.8 I run a little cool yeah um also been my doctor for about 25 years yeah yeah where did you go to medical school uh in 1998 where where oh um out of state you should go okay I apologize Dr Ro Royo he's not the best but he's very affordable okay all right getting nothing here nothing absolutely nothing is this what you got I guess this is where you start right I don't fear your wings man bring what you got okay so the travel log is taken I keep these go ahead go ahead little good spot for him yeah so the travel log has taken on so many different forms from the anthropological approach of someone like Anthony bouran to the thrill seeking perspective of a personality like bear GRS how would you define comedy's role in the genre like is it a hack being funny and connecting with new people and cultures I love travel and my mission is that you learn nothing about the country my job is that you know less about the country after I'm done than when I started so that's why I love this new show is Max just let us go for it and uh we visited a bunch of countries and uh you're Dumber you're Dumber after you see the show but we had a lot of fun was there anything intentional about releasing the show on your birthday or is that just a Charming coincidence thank you for doing your research um it was a total coincidence HBO Max called us is it HBO Max or just max I think it's just straight Max I can't get used to it it's not a better name anyway uh Max said um max that really rolls off the tongue doesn't it it is kind of personal cuz it's just like someone's name you know I me pi Max this said hey you're you're going to drop I think that's what the kids say uh on April 18th and I said hey that's my birthday and they went huh so I don't think it was anything intentional it just happened to be my birthday well happy birthday to you co thank you so much and thank you for having me appreciate it are you ready to move on here to Sauce number two on that note please cuz that first one I got nothing what's this what kind of sauce is this so this one is called Smokey J here Smokey J Smokey J anything I need to know about this sauce before I bite in I think the less you know the better [Music] okay okay smokey J I like this so far I am unfazed do you mind if I yeah no go ahead your jack your wings take ownership from that side of the table go ahead how often do you show up on location somewhere right you get to a destination and your first an immediate thought is how the hell am I going to make this funny often that's 70% 70% of the time and what I call it I talked to my headwriter Mike Sweeney and I say you've brought me to a comedy vacuum there's nothing here you there's nothing once we were doing a shoot in Finland and I was in the Arctic Circle and I was standing on a tundra and in the distance about 400 yards away with some reindeer and my producers just said and go and I'm looking around I'm like what what am I supposed to do improv with a sheet of ice but in those situations sometimes when you think it's going to go very badly it goes well sometimes you think oh my God I have it made this is a perfect remote and you can't get anything so it's always going to a Vegas crafts table you never know again it's called hot ones what the [ __ ] going on this is nothing I'll remember you got nothing I'll remember these words going God is going to get he's going to have a hot this isn't even I've yet to had any spice at all and you know what I've got a little eye watering I think you're going to cuz you're meeting your idol I think that's what's happening I I get that from just about everyone in your demographic right eyes Che up yeah go ahead there you go got three in there y so on a late night show when you see the host toss a commercial right and then they lean in and they talk to the guest with the mic's cut yeah is that usually like a real chat and if so what are some of the go-to depends on host in the old days back in the days when I was doing it and there was just a couple of us uh often times there wasn't much chat really not much at all you know if you were talking to a letterman he wouldn't say too much the other guy you know I don't know where he was but I always to make something happen I tried to keep the rhythm going and sometimes if I couldn't get them interested I'd try and say something provocative like I bet you live four more years tops and you could see them get a little rattled and the band would be playing but I just wanted to keep them alert but I remember I said that to B Arthur and I was right B Arthur you said that to B Arthur yeah I said four years tops and it was uh 3 years 11 months and S some time yeah well I'll say this I know you uh this is important for me to say I've watched your show you are a very good interviewer than and um so without this this is fun I like this and I get why you guys do it and it's really fun and it's compelling but uh you are a very serious interviewer you take it seriously and you ask really good questions so I I'm very impressed with your dedication to it damn yeah wow yeah you'll cut that out that won't make it in no laughs there what is this called this is uh Los centes very Los centes okay very nice Dr ro royal yes sir get a baseline pulse here it's getting it's starting to race a little bit sure sure you're you're just chical you're just choking me so sorry no no you just feel for the pulse all right yeah just you've been with me for a long time but it's there okay there he's very good very inexpensive I can tell yeah he has a office in the desert what do you think is the most annoying trait or thing a guest can do when appearing on a talk show the worst thing a guest can do is tell the audience it's not going well I've seen it happen many times it's an amateur move uh because the host can do a lot to let people think it's going great even if it's not that there are many things the host can do the host can be enjoying the host can act a little bit the host can do things audiences want to see a good show they want to see a good interview and uh I was always amazed when someone would come out and they'd be doing okay and they'd make a couple of jokes and it's fine and then they would just go and they would look right out the camera and they would say this just isn't going very well is it and you could feel I would look out at the audience maybe 200 people sitting there and I'd see 200 Souls leave 200 bodies and float up through the ceiling because they were they were just told they were not getting a good show right no that's not show business show business is you're getting the greatest show in the [Music] world I don't think there's a Wing here that I can't eat like it's ice cream I I seriously I don't think there's a Wing on this table that I cannot devour like it's cool whipped cream on an August afternoon okay you're like a Ric Flair cutting a promo right now all right that's the energy that I'm picking up on yeah you're really challenging the Wings Over Dr Royal please could you step in my pocket's getting full [Music] oh is there a most heroine encounter with Wildlife that you can recall from all the times that you had animal experts on the show yes it happened during the Turner phase of of my career we uh had someone who brought a lot of animals on and one of them was a water buffalo massive beast and I'm standing next to to it and I said well I don't even know what we do with it and someone a producer just said well just hop up on it I'm in rehearsal mode so you just do what you're told and as I'm getting up on it Andy said don't get on that but of course I never listen to Andy you got to commit to the so I get up on the water buffalo and as my ass hits the water buffalo beats this size it freaks it tosses me up into the air we had it on camera I go up and I come down on my hip on a cement floor floor and as you know in a studio cement it's poured concrete so the cameras can roll so I bounce off my hip it really [ __ ] hurt water buffalo makes this bellowing sound charges everyone runs away all the cameraman run away takes out a camera camera people are scrambling and slips and Falls then gets up and looks at me I am lying on the floor I jump and I run in the other direction and leap over the talk show couch I had a hematoma on my hip that was so big I couldn't get my jeans on or off so they like had to cut me out of my jeans it was this giant and I just kept thinking why it's because you do a show every day you get into the let's go let's go um let's get this thing going and I'm there and I'm just thinking about the next thing and a voice just said hop on and I did false sense of security just the rhym of the show AB idiocy but um I live to tell the tale and the water buffalo and I made amends we're good now m m great fantastic I it I love it I love it I don't know I don't see what the problem is I know you might be running out of pockets thankfully you do have a lot of them over there it's okay we got pockets do you take any kind of perverse pride in the sheer number of hours of Television that you've created I was never that excited about about volume it to me it's whether it's good or not or you know and and so to me it was much more stay focused on let's really try and keep trying to make something that's really memorable and will stick around and and then get back to it and what I'm interested in is how it looks in the rear view for you like does it all fit neatly into distinct eras or is it all kind of a blur I would say there are eras as the early era '93 to '95 where I'm uh in living in sheer Terror all the time because I'm waiting for a phone call any second that I've been canceled so that is a real era that whole run rocker Center feels like an era all the craziness I went through in whatever 2010 is a distinct chapter Turner is a distinct chapter um getting to do the podcast which I love sitting down and getting to talk to somebody for an hour is such a joy after almost three decades of that was great thanks a lot okay we're going to take a little break we'll be right back you know that uh that I loved it but I love this a lot kind of musle it's different now and I love trying this and then with this new Max show coming out April 18th um I just like that we're really getting the resources to do one of these the way I always wanted to do it so uh yeah I would say they they look like very distinct separate times my my hands are all hold on a sec Dr Royo can you open this please multifaceted doctor thank you Doctor whoa what's going to happen what's wrong with you people you don't know what real danger looks like anymore incredible no so my question to you is is there a point when these get warm just a little bit warm anything at all incredible incredible oh here's a question for you yes is it true that while writing at SNL that you would sometimes go downstairs to Letterman's 6A studio and then write material from his desk at the studio I would sit they had like a a covering over his desk to protect it from any [ __ ] and so we were uh our Studios were at 9: and I would go down to uh he was in 6A which is the studio I eventually took over but I didn't know that was going to happen and I would sit at Dave's desk and I had Dave's perspective and I would sit there and I would work on a sketch and then this crazy situation develops one in a billion chance where I get a chance to audition for that show and then get it but if you would told me that when I was sitting behind Dave's desk as a Saturday live writer i' have said there's no way i' have also said there's no way there's ever going to be a Charlie Rose show where you eat hot wings but I've been I would have been wrong both times that's exactly right yeah you can't predict the future you just don't know what's going to happen connect the dots looking back never looking forward when you took over that 6A Studio did you see any remnants of the Old Guard were there like pencils stuck in the ceiling or no cuz they put us in different offices so we were not in Dave's offices but we had his Studio there weren't remnants but there were physical remnants there were people there were camera people there was this guy Bailey who was a cameraman who had been with Dave the whole time and so he was our cameraman I'll never forget that we kept coming up with these ideas that were much more involved a lot of running around I was kinetic Robert's kinetic the writers we hired were very kinetic I would just turn 30 so all my ideas were I've got an idea I start running and the camera's running with me and I jump out the window and the cameraman jumps too and Bailey who had been there probably since the 50s and was used to watching you know shooting I don't know some Edward armur smoke a cigarette down to the filter no filter no filter it's Edward armur godamn it that's what he was used to and then suddenly I'm here saying I've got an idea Bailey we're going to put rockets on your feet and you're going to fire you down the hall how old you Bailey 77 yeah it's going to be fun Bailey fun Aro get that open my hands are very slippery of course it was it a fouryear medical school it was supposed to be there you go did you ever graduate he's gone oh my God oh my gosh oh my gosh come on man are we doing this or not yeah no I'm with are we doing it or not no I'm on the same page what's the point of even being alive if we can't do this right now I really do feel alive I do feel alive you're okay yeah yeah I'm with you I'm with you yeah I might hiccup through this whole thing yeah this one I'm not going to lie I'm feeling it a little bit I'm feeling it I'm feeling this one little it's just starting to peek through you know be a little bit I can't stop a little bit of a burning but not much what you as president do you think would be the best podcast guest on Conan O'Brien needs a friend say you you tried to talk y but your lips have been paralyzed and what I heard was I got that out I think maybe you're having a problem hear no I don't think it I think everyone in the studio will agree which US president do you think would make the best podcast guest on Conan O'Brien needs a friend do they have to be living no Richard Nixon Nixon oh my God be fantastic he's such a comedy figure when you think about it Bo and we could get into water and then he would try to be funny like I've got a funny idea you know it' be fantastic The Voice alone I would have to say probably uh Lincoln can I just take a second and say this is starting to hit I think no yeah can I just say I know I don't have a lot of regrets in my career pouring this onto the wing right and then licking it off and in retrospect I bet you it's good footage no yeah it's good good TV um I'm starting to feel some Sensations and and you know what Conan if you weren't so braggadocious in this front half I probably would have stopped you from doing that you know I would have protected you from yourself you can't stop me from being who I am that's exactly right so quote my my hero poey I am what I am okay I said it and Gandhi said it and and papey that is the that is who I am I've got to go for it whatever I do I have to go I you got to commit to the bit Comm it's not a bit this is life bit to you it's not a bit it's your show don't say commit to the bit this is light you got to grab it by the balls Dr Royal would you check on my friend here just get a quick test yeah it's not good not good do you have anything beyond that no he's okay I'll just take you at face value on that not good yeah yeah he's he's not a good doctor he's he's an a affordable doctor do you have a a favorite mediocre president uh well that's a good one mediocre president that's so mean I'm going to go with Warren Hardy okay goodlooking guy he was in the Oval Office like 3 days and he wrote on a note I am not fit to be president this job is too hard and then to solve matters he takes a train trip and dies mysteriously cuz he ate some bad Lobster so you got to give it up for Warren G in in my opinion right don't you think no argument there yeah he knew he couldn't do the job and said you know what has anyone got some Lobster that's been out too long I want to eat it on a train where there's no refrigeration and that's what they did don't do it don't do the sauce what's on the saw I can't get this open there we go and a little bit of this on it yeah go I'll join you at the that's the sound the three stoes used to make when they were doing anything destructive everyone watchs with three stoes yeah yeah yeah mistake I wait to announce my mistakes up front go this is not a mistake nothing about this is a mistake every step of the way intentional incredible oh my God oh my God someone
