In a recent episode of Conan O’Brien‘s talk show, “Conan O’Brien Needs A Friend,” Conan shared some interesting insights about the events that took place on January 6th. He began the episode by welcoming his guests, Matt Gourley and Son Messiah, and celebrating Son’s birthday. Conan revealed that he likes to extend his birthday celebrations throughout the entire month and sees it as an opportunity to spend time with loved ones.
The conversation then took an unexpected turn when Conan brought up the topic of Christmas celebrations. He mentioned that while he celebrates Christmas on December 25th, there is also Armenian Christmas on January 6th. Conan accidentally made an offensive comment by referring to his Christmas as the “real” one, but quickly apologized for his remark. He learned that Armenian Christmas holds significance as the oldest sect of Christianity.
Conan humorously suggested that there might have been a misunderstanding on January 6th, with people rushing to the Capitol to exchange gifts for Armenian Christmas. He jokingly speculated that the reason for the attack on the Capitol might have been that the crowd was simply trying to get past the building to reach their festive celebrations. Of course, this was all in good fun and not to be taken seriously.
The conversation then shifted back to Son’s birthday and the idea of celebrating birthdays for an extended period. Conan’s former assistant used to make a big deal out of her birthday month, leading Conan to joke about the slippery slope of birthday celebrations that could eventually turn into a birthday year or even eternity.
Conan continued to entertain his audience with his witty banter, eventually circling back to the topic of Armenian Christmas. He playfully debated with his guest, Matt, about whether he knows more about Armenian culture than Conan does. They even managed to throw in some humor about Mexican American culture, Three Kings Day, and Elvis Presley’s birthday.
The conversation culminated in Conan’s suggestion to investigate how many people in the Capitol crowd were actually celebrating other events, like Armenian Christmas or Elvis’s birthday. He humorously proposed the idea of an alternate history show, where they explore different possibilities and reimagine historical events. Conan even attempted an impression of Abraham Lincoln and shared some little-known facts about the former president’s voice.
As the episode came to a close, Conan jokingly remarked that he felt someone should burst into the room and shoot him with a gun. Of course, this was all part of his comedic style and not to be taken seriously.
Overall, Conan O’Brien‘s talk show episode was filled with lively and entertaining discussions, showcasing his unique humor and ability to keep his audience engaged. From birthday celebrations to discussing historical events, Conan managed to create an entertaining and fun-filled atmosphere.
