  • This is such a bittersweet moment. Conan's such a class act. The way he tap that table in the end, you can tell he's moved on already, but the scars will be there forever. 😭
  • @szuperszilard
    Not many people could make me watch Fallon but Conan is certainly one of them. King of late night
  • @hvargas1442
    Conan is the perfect example of how you can be one of the most recognizable people in the world, yet still be wholesome and genuine.
  • @obesus787
    This is probably the most genuine and relaxed Jimmy’s been on his show. He just lets Conan talk and really toned down his invasive niceness, and he genuinely engages in a conversation.
  • @yankeexgrl2
    Conan cutting Jimmy's compliment off to compliment him and making Jimmy tear up.... man.. there's just no one out there like Conan.
  • You can tell Jimmy is gets a little emotional at the end there. He really respects Conan. Bless both of them.
  • @macau.friend
    Conan’s final speech about cynicism during his last episode on the Tonight’s Show still sticks with me till this day. His tenure may have been short lived, but the impact lasts forever. I still see him as a role model on how to handle a shitty situation.
  • @truefanboy
    Conan is a living icon. If you grew up in the 90s, he's bigger than Letterman, Leno, and everyone since. He was and is, KING of Late Night. Thanks for all the entertainment and memories, Conan.
  • @gusmc01
    Conan wasn’t going to let Jimmy wrap the segment without getting that compliment in. Respect.
  • @Jim-pt8kk
    Conan’s remotes are hands-down, the funniest bits in all of late night TV. Who agrees?
  • @JoshOClock
    5:33 "I'll teach it to you guys. Jesus!" Dang calling out The Roots. 😂
  • @Heybros233
    The Prince reminiscing was so special and felt so much like listening in on them just chatting. How sincere and lovely! This interview was absolutely amazing
  • @thekevinsantos
    Conan offering the sweetest words to Jimmy feels reminiscent of Dave doing the same thing for him during his early "Late Night" days. I don't know if Jimmy needed to hear that akin to how Conan felt, but you just know Conan wanted to pay it forward. Truly the greatest of his generation.
  • The icon himself. I miss him on TV. 💯 Was number 1 late night host. He found the incredible thin line between intelligence and stupidity. Genius. And how his hair still amazing like on first night over 25 years ago? 😂
  • @ikejugend
    It’s rare to see Fallon listening and laughing (genuinely) this much. He really loves Conan. As we all do.
  • @smokyshroom
    To tell Conan he raised the bar and made him work hard after that beautiful compliment was just the classiest response 💚
  • @werdna1969
    Prince was a celebrity even to other celebrities.
  • @ivansidorov6391
    Prince is that unreachable star for other stars everyone have a story about. Just like if he lived in another galaxy and occasionally stop by to do music on earth time to time.
  • @imalright2837
    Conan is the only person that would make me ever click a Jimmy Fallon video. You hear that algorithm???Don’t get used it
