Interesting that Conan reaches out to young people and says don't be cynical, he gave almost the exact same excerpt about cynicism in his final Tonight Show speech almost a decade later.
Yup. Reminding us not to let unfortunate circumstances and tragedies dictate our words and actions, yes we’re upset but don’t let that anger consume you
This and Letterman's monologue following the tragic events were one of the best moments in late-night TV. It was able to not just bring back some sort of 'normalcy', but it made people know that things were going to be okay after what had took place the week prior.
I was there. We originally were scheduled to see him September 12th 2001. The city was shut down until the following week. We were all so scared and worried, the atmosphere was heavy and the air outside the studio was an acrid yellow haze. It was also so quiet you could hear a pin drop on 5th avenue.
I'll never forget the first SNL after the attacks. Mayor guiliani was guest host. At the start, one of the artists on SNL asked Rudy "Are we allowed to be funny?" Rudy responded with "Why start now?" The audience burst out laughing.
I know this is going to sound weird, I was in highschool when it happened. And after the 24/7 news coverage, I was exhausted and uncertain what was going to happen. So I was excited when Conan came back. It was a break, and I always loved his show. And he got me through. When something hurts, you just dig your heels in and get the job done. You don't moan and complain and you don't put it on anyone else. And you find little moments of joy.
Also, him talking about not giving into cynicism is such a great message to put through. These horrible events do shape a hateful perspective among the general public towards a certain group. All the grief and trauma makes it easy to lose humanity, especially for the victims and the young people. It is important to not lose that.
I was in high school too. I think Sarah Vowell was on the show too or maybe that was the next episode. She talked about feeling helpless and she heard something on the news about trying to donate supplies to the firefighters and how she was riding her bicycle around to all the Duane Reades to try to get toothbrushes for them and how silly it was but how important it felt.
So sincere and genuine. It’s obvious that Conan was really on the verge of tears here. For anyone who has never watched his podcast, you definitely should. You get more of the serious Conan and less silly and goofy Conan, but it’s great. I love it. I never watched Conan growing up. I always watched Letterman. I didn’t become a Conan fan until about 5 years ago. I’m so glad I did. Conan is a great person.
I was eating chicken tenders Nd waffles watching Conan vs Leno feud on YT couple months ago. It was really good that’s why i remember it. …That country gravy🥴
One of the most heartfelt monologues, and we all know Conan’s take on cynicism…. As angry, sad, and bewildered we all were on 9/11, Conan urged us to avoid cynicism. Unfortunately he reminded us again to avoid cynicism when he surrendered his dream and closed out his final gig as the host of the Tonight Show
Conan had as part of the night sky line backdrop the world trade center behind him. The production team placed this curtain drape behind Conan, to obscure the building.
They had just renovated the set and unveiled it a few days before 9/11 and made a brand new backdrop that included the WTC towers. They had to remake the backdrop, but they hadn't been able to do it by this point. I think the fires were still smoldering. So, they had to bunch up the curtain to obscure where the towers were.
@@danieldougan269When they put up the redone backdrop about a month later, they initially took away the curtain to make the set look like it did at its debut. But I guess somebody liked the curtain look better, because they quickly brought it back, and it was there for the rest of the show’s run.
He’s always been very grateful and supportive of his staff. It’s refreshing to hear all the great stories behind the scenes about him. Other talk show hosts(Fallon) pale in comparison to
Yup. A tragedy that ended a golden age, but we got through it together. People these days, especially people who were too young to remember those days, I think they are more prone to violent and desensitized thoughts. Values have gone down the toilet.
I think it's a relief to see someone from the US admit and realize that things there are as worse as it can be. There's hope. I am not American nor am I residing there it's just unbelievable what we see in the news.
Wow, you all *completely* missed his message about cynicism which is as relevant today as ever. He even gave that part of the speech AGAIN when he retired from late night TV. Love you Coco!
They came back to do the show because they know that entertainment is never trivial; it's one of the most impotant human activities. Entertainment is healing.
What I love about Conan is that he realizes he’s not this huge important person, that the world doesn’t revolve around him cause he’s a celebrity. Every single talk show host now thinks that their opinion is above everyone else, that what they do is somehow very important which just leads to them always lecturing and taking moral high grounds
This is a very healing message, not just for those day and recovering the days after, but there is a humble inspiration to do your best to try to get back up with things are at their worst. It can be relatable for this day in age to remember that, and that there are good people in our world when we're going through some of the darkest periods. Beautiful touch encouraging to appreciate what there is even when so much was lost, for an asshole Conan gave a perfect message to help many get through the trauma they faced.
I remember this time period vividly. Americans came together, helped each other up. It was a period of deep reflection. We need to learn to look past our differences again, and all be Americans.
we could have done anything. absolutely anything. we could've solved a lot of problems, maybe. we'll never know. what we DID do was go to war for 20 years and get no good outcome. the tragedy of the whole thing was that we didn't actually change anything. in my opinion.
For a short time, it really did feel like we were all united....they had us at each others throats within two years of 9/11, and it’s just become more divided ever since. I wish it wasn’t like that.
don’t really remember anything from this time... since I was only like 6/7... except for like a very vague 10 second memory flash of being pulled out of school at the time... but my older cousins, who are like 9/10 years older than me, have always named conan and lettermam and stern as the ppl who really got them through that time
I was around 8 and i only remember my mom crying because she thought my aunty was killed but my aunt was safe at home as she had taken a sick leave. We are from India so she had no way of getting in touch with her too as we didn't have internet
Crazy how I instantly recall - not having seen this since it first aired - watching Conan walk directly over to his desk. To sound like an old man, all you young folk gotta realize how broken we all were. We just watched the news - 24/7. Watched the planes hit over, and over, and over. Waited desperately for answers that we knew would never come. Things like this show pulled us out of that dark, dark place. I remember sitting in my dorm room just soaking in news channels and every few hours just uncontrollably bursting into tears. It was like I was a bucket that was slowly filling with drops of misery and every so often I had to dump it out. I still can’t believe it was real - what a horrific time.
The towers weren’t there by that point, this was filmed one week after the attacks so the curtain was probably put up to hide the sight of the towers not being there, and as a mark of respect to those who lost loved ones.
At the time, it felt like new TV shows were off the air for much longer than one week. It seemed like all networks were just showing news footage for several weeks.
The curtain fold strategically placed over the towers in the backdrop is a bit gut wrenching. They had only renovated the stage with that panorama a week or so beforehand. Soon after they made a similar one without the towers that lasted until the end of late nite.
We need to remember from this tragedy thatThe United States is still a great country. We have just lost sight of our purpose. To keep victims of 9/11 and to honor them, is to not sink into decisive politics. Don’t support presidents, senators and congressmen and women who don’t hold the same vision of helping being the country together. We need to help each other and talk to one another. Stop the hate, violence and put downs of people with different cultures, ideas and backgrounds. That’s how we continue to move forward as a country.
@@KJ-je9pm you know that for a fact? were in the meeting where they planned it? Or are you just guessing based on conspiracy theory KRplus videos? Ignorant ass comment.
Everyone seems to remember where they were on 9/11 .. and it's no different across the ocean - I'm from London, UK. I had just turned 8 years old two days prior, I'd just gotten back from Junior school (elementary in the US I think) and I remember going to my Nan's flat which was just down the street from me and my mums flat and my Nan had the news on which being a kid I didn't really think much of but I remember when I got home from school I was always allowed to watch cartoons while my Nan made me some dinner but that day I wasn't allowed to watch Cartoons, and my Nan made me something quick to eat. I remember sitting on the floor playing with some stuff I'd gotten for my birthday and occasionally glancing at the TV to see these big buildings on fire with lots of smoke and as a kid I didn't pay much attention but I remember those buildings being on TV the whole day. It's only these days as an adult I can really understand and appreciate the scale of what I saw back then when all I could think about was my toys and what I was doing at the time .. being in blissful ignorance of the true horror that was actually unfolding in the world.
i love conan..and as a canadian i felt so bad for americans and new yorkers in paticular..but good for conan to get back to normal..because the monsters who did this..win in the end..
I remember when shows started coming back. There was a very clear atmosphere of determination and pride. I'll never forget the way the entire country rallied for New York!
Brooo i was watching. Feels like yesterday. I cant believe this is ancient history now and there are adults that were not born yet. It was a weird time. We legit did not know if things would be "normal" again. No one knew exactly how to move on and keep going. The vibe among citizens was very unique. Unlike today, it DID briefly feel like we were all in it together. White, black, brown, everyone. It was nice. Then we forgot, and here we are, Being soldiers to political parties and accepting having to choose between an orange man who panders to the shittyness in people, and a senile twat who's brain is melting right before our eyes. Let's all expect and demand better. Please. Political parties that pander to our hatred of eachother cannot be good enough😮
I remember seeing the reports that told how the Twin Towers was destroyed I was watching Grace Under Fire repeat episode and shortly after the opening them ended the report came on Im a Comedian myself but took awhile to have myself being able to do jokes again Years Later I was in a video chatroom being Hosted by Operation Repos Lyndah Pizzaro She did a thing where she randomly called a number and the guy who answered said he was a survivor of 9/11 u see he worked at the Twin Towers as a Janitor his Boss called him early in the morning of 9/11 and told him theres nothing to do today so stay home so after talking to his boss he turns on the TV but shortly after 9/11 Twin Towers report comes on. He told Lyndah he feels God made sure no harm came to him but im guessing he feels guilty because his friends and co workers were in the building he realized had he gone into work he would be dead Lyndah couldnt find any words to comfort him what would anybody reading this would want to tell him if u ever meet him or any other survivor who may not have gone to work that day but saw it all unfold on TV Twin Towers destroyed I dont think I could live with myself had I been in his place it makes u think wow
Wow. A late night talk show host not feeling like they need to deliver a partisan message after a national tragedy? My, my. How fast things have changed in a little over 20 years.

but within 3 weeks we were back to laughing at Bush. It was no problem.
Conan has always opposed cynicism and I think that’s really admirable. I’m a tongue-in-cheek cynic…a curb your enthusiasm style cynic…it’s just fun to me and a good way to let the poison out. But the amount of meaningless, pathological cynicism out there nowadays is really unhealthy. Kids who have, by nature, no perspective on the world or how safe/wealthy they are in the grand scheme of things, are being allowed to descend into this putrid trench of misanthropic cynicism. It sounds awful but I think the only way out is through *actual* strife…not this “blehhh, cost of living, blehhh” first world nonsense. We don’t know what it means to struggle anymore and that existential complacency has poisoned our minds. We all know where our next 50 meals are coming from as we sit in our climate controlled dwellings with hot water having NO IDEA that we’re all rich beyond the wildest dreams of our ancestors and even many people in other parts of the world today. There’s a solution in making people understand this but they don’t wanna hear it. Twitter enemies, embarrassing political causes and rampant cynicism are all we know in this age of digital stagnation.
are you serious? they all swallowed it i don't ever forget the remarks Ted Turner made at the time that "The United States has got some of the dumbest people in the world." they believe anything if it';s on TV
I'd have been on the air on 9/12 making jokes about Muslims , the type that ordinarily, you would get kicked off the air for! (Of course I was a young cynic)

I like how his speech wasn't important enough to memorize.
Sometimes it's more effective to speak honestly and from the heart. A dose of real humanity was needed here, and that is what was given.
Conan has always opposed cynicism and I think that’s really admirable. I’m a tongue-in-cheek cynic…a curb your enthusiasm style cynic…it’s just fun to me and a good way to let the poison out. But the amount of meaningless, pathological cynicism out there nowadays is really unhealthy. Kids who have, by nature, no perspective on the world or how safe/wealthy they are in the grand scheme of things, are being allowed to descend into this putrid trench of misanthropic cynicism. It sounds awful but I think the only way out is through *actual* strife…not this “blehhh, cost of living, blehhh” first world nonsense. We don’t know what it means to struggle anymore and that existential complacency has poisoned our minds. We all know where our next 50 meals are coming from as we sit in our climate controlled dwellings with hot water having NO IDEA that we’re all rich beyond the wildest dreams of our ancestors and even many people in other parts of the world today. There’s a solution in making people understand this but they don’t wanna hear it. Twitter enemies, embarrassing political causes and rampant cynicism are all we know in this age of digital stagnation.
Does anyone actually still believe the official story at this point? lol
Some do not want their views challenged

i don't ever forget the remarks Ted Turner made at the time that "The United States has got some of the dumbest people in the world."
they believe anything if it';s on TV
I'd have been on the air on 9/12 making jokes about Muslims , the type that ordinarily, you would get kicked off the air for! (Of course I was a young cynic)
Hope you adjusted your view on Muslims by now.
@@mardel5466I did until they stabbed Salomon Rushdie and shot girls protesting in Iran with shotguns . I'm okay with black Muslims they're all bean pies & bow ties
@@mardel5466 One of the darker chapters that came after 9/11.
