    Conan still having a seething hatred for Jay Leno after all this time gives me hope for this world.

    I’ve always remembered “in the year 2000, Starbucks will make franchise history by building a Starbucks…..INSIDE ANOTHER STARBUCKS” hilarious

    All this time, I thought IN THE YEAR 2000 started AFTER 2000 (I started watching as a teenager in the early 00s). It was hilarious and definitely worked, so glad you kept as is haha

    I need them to replace Sona as a “personality,” with just a laugh track.

    Dueling Jays was hilarious, but you have to appreciate the grace Conan shows, he clearly doesn’t like Jay Leno (for good and obvious reasons) and he’ll occasionally do the voice, but he NEVER comes off as bitter or mean-spirited. He rarely talks about that whole fiasco, in fact he seems to go out of his way to avoid it, but when he does, he’s very matter-of-fact and dispassionate.

    Everyone should send Conan brooches and he should have to wear a different one each podcast episode.

    My favorite In the Year 2000 bit was with David Duchovny, who had the perfect dry delivery: “In the year 2000 the Bald Eagle will be taken off the endangered species list, not because it is no longer endangered, but because it is a douchebag.” lol

    Oh man, I remember as a teenager wondering what they were going to do when it was actually the year 2000.
