Monologue was solid, that room was ICE COLD, giving him no love
Crowd was so tense and awkward I love Conan even more for this. Lmao
*Funny man attempts to make soulless rich people laugh*
That “atleast we arrest our pedophiles” joke was crazy
Rough crowd... Conan is the only reason I'm here! Love you Conan!!!
The F1/Caps Lock joke was so good.
Audience proving we don’t deserve Conan. Conan proving he doesn’t care
Crowd seemed very apprehensive to laugh. Kudos for dunking on the Netflix CEO because that's exactly how they think 😂
cameraman caught slacking on the job with that cut to Leo 😂
“Too real for ya huh..?” The fact none of them laughed at the affordable healthcare joke shows how out of touch everyone in that room is.
He knew they wouldn’t laugh but he also knew literally everyone else at home would enjoy this monologue so much!!
Caps Lock is way under-appreciated
"if that makes you uncomfortable , there's an alternate Oscars with Kid Rock" 😆🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
"On the ride home you'll appreciate it". Give this man an Oscar.
"let us celebrate not because all is well, but because we work and hope for better..." well said.
"Why are they all together enjoying themselves. They should be home alone. Where I can monetise it." That was gold.
The bit on opera and ballet is just short and simple, but so timely that it's hilarious
Jesus Christ, what a tough room!!! Why are those people so stiff??? Conan could make a chair laugh!!! He didn't give up cuz he's CONAN!!!
Who else is here just for Conan? Didn’t even know the Oscar’s was tonight!
"they're just mad you left off Jazz" killed me🤣
