Samuel Clemens would’ve been proud. I say that because anyone with a lick of humor will be inspired watching O’Brien then or now. Go to Full Review

The setup is kind of like a roast, but gentler and more nostalgic, with major This is Your Life vibes. Go to Full Review

matthias s @Thescreenasvor 1d Conan O’Brien: The Kennedy Center Mark Twain Prize for American Humor is a warm, joyful tribute to a man I truly love and admire. I had to watch it—seeing so many talented people come together to honor him was crazy in the best way. The show is fun, light, and absolutely deserved, and it beautifully proves how genuine and wholesome Conan is as a human being. His kindness, humility, and even shy reactions to praise made the celebration feel intimate and real. While not perfect as a production, it left me incredibly thankful for Conan and everything beautiful he brings to the world. See more Nic S Sep 25 Amidst the uncertainty of a new regime threatening free speech and creativity, this honour celebration represents the unserious-ness, joy and laughs through it all. Conan is one of the greats in comedy through his undeniable quick wit, kindness and doing whatever it takes for the silliest bit, and all the speakers take a note of his playbook to showcase it. Whether that’s Adam Sandler’s kindergarten Sandman V. Conan squabble or Nikki Glassier’s debate with the oh so memorable Interruptor, each of these sets were unique, weird and super fun. It was a great night for comedy and also for hope, where we remember that we can all coalesce for the human good throughout all walks of life. And, that’s pretty freaking cool. See more David F May 22 Very very funny look at Conan O'Brien's whole career. A well-deserved honour. See more Buddy M May 16 This was really funny. Not as good as the Adam Sandler one but better than Kevin Hart. The one thing I didn't love were the subtle jabs at Donald Trump. Why make this night about politics? See more Olivia D May 9 This was a brilliant gathering of all the best American comedians. From watching American stand-ups in Leidseplein in Amsterdam to Conan's shows in the early 2000s, my appreciation has now reached new levels for American humour, Bravo! 😘😘 See more Curtis L May 7 This was fantastic. If you're a Conan fan it's a must watch! See more Read all reviews
