Full Episode
Fall is here, hear the yell. Back to school, ring the bell. Brand new shoes, walking blues. Climb the fence, books and pens. I can tell that we are gonna be friends.
Hello, and welcome to Conan O'Brien Needs a Friend. That was very official sounding. I know. I was trying to channel Conan, who is not here today. That's right. Sona Movsesian has moved from second chair to first. I would move? Yes. You would move. What are you talking about? No, no, no. If if if he left, which he is not here, you would take over as like the guy.
No. Yes. Absolutely. Well, no.
Yes. OK. But anyway, Conan is not here because sadly, last week, his mom and his dad both passed away within days of each other. His dad, Dr. Thomas O'Brien, was 95. Conan was actually shooting overseas for his Mac show. He came back to Brookline. And then while he was there, his mom, Ruth Reardon O'Brien, died at 92. And today is actually her birthday. I didn't know that.
No kidding. Today is her birthday. And so you never got a chance to meet his parents. I never did. No. No. So, you know, I worked for him for a very long time. And his parents were very impressive, very remarkable people. In their fields, they were celebrities in their own right. His dad was a microbiologist. He retired at 90. And I'm hoping Conan will also retire at 90. Really? Yeah.
I think he's gone too far already. You do? Yeah. No, I want to ride those coattails until the very end. Don't you? Yes, of course. Just like wheeling in a decrepit Conan into the studio. This is terrible. I'm so sorry. I'm like sweating because I have to talk about serious stuff. But yeah, his dad is a legend in his field. And his mother was actually one of the first graduates of Yale Law School.
And she became a partner at her law firm when she had five kids. And like the second female to do so.
Second female to do so. I mean, she was practicing law when there were like dining halls that women weren't allowed into. And so she would sit outside these dining halls and men would be inside and she'd be sitting on her own little table outside. And she was like a partner in the at the law firm. So it was like they're just incredible people. It's a huge loss.
So Conan's with his family, all 800 of them. And he mentioned to us that he wanted us to do this and to set up the context as to why he's not here. And be transparent about it, that he's with his family. And so we've cobbled together some of our favorite moments of the last year. So this first episode will be from the intros and segments, which you, Conan, and I do together.
