After 25 years at the Late Night desk, Conan realized that the only people at his holiday party are the men and women who work for him. Over the years and despite thousands of interviews, Conan has never made a real and lasting friendship with any of his celebrity guests. So, he started a podcast to do just that. Deeper, unboundedly playful, and free from FCC regulations, Conan O’Brien Needs a Friend is a weekly opportunity for Conan to hang out with the people he enjoys most and perhaps find some real friendship along the way.

Love it! But…

I listen to old and new episodes pretty much every day to help go through a tough few months. But as I skip forward through the ads I realize how many different jingles you guys use and it’s kinda driving me nuts now. Can you use less of them and code them better to signal when ads are actually done? This is especially important for the Conan needs a Fan episodes. Thanks!

Love it, but…

This show is my favorite podcast. I am a huge fan. Having said that, please stop using “you’re having a stroke” / “I think I just had a stroke” as a joke. It hurts to hear as someone who lost a dear loved one, unexpectedly, to a stroke. I assume people who have survived strokes don’t love hearing it either.

The Chill Chums hanging at Sona’s is such a blast. Really enjoy Sona’s balance to the trio and the recent story on episode 3 about the root ball. Conan elaborates with such detail and Gourley fills in with his wit to complete the banter. Thanks for all the interesting stories and laughs.
