The funniest Conan interview? In my opinion, it’s the bread expert

That was great! Thank you for posting this.
We have some good breadmaking equipment, bought during the Y2K Whacko Years, and now I’m inspired to go dust it off, make some glorious loaves, and then ~~have sex with it~~ eat it with great pleasure.
Also check out the guy that makes musical instruments out of vegetables
Fantastic shenanigans! Thank you!
I hope I can one day speak about my passions the way this old man speaks about bread.
I was literally crying. Great video.
When he whipped out the bread jack knife I just about lost it.
Is Jordan Schlansky based on this guy?
A great example of how it’s impossible to make fun of someone’s interests if they lean into the jokes with enthusiasm and excitement, not to mention making some self-aware jokes of their own. Fantastic guest.
“Yep. This is definitely bread.” – The Bread Expert
“In the great taxonomy of things there are swallowers and spitters”
What about the legendary [interview](https://youtu.be/bKmadR4Ye54) with Courtney Thorne-Smith and Norm Macdonald?
I also like the [interview](https://youtu.be/9-xaiowB44w) with Rob Krueger. Watching Conan get progressively annoyed cracks me up.
The surging of a geyser of aromas
Is this guy an actual professor, or just a random bread fetishist that managed to get on TV?
Lmao this is excellent
Kept thinking how great it would be if Craig Ferguson had done this interview. With Geoff on the side. Oh, Dear.
I’d put this in top 10 of all time conan interviews just by how surprising it is. Legend
I love how this guy is so passionate about bread, but he is also clearly quick with the joking. This was very enjoyable to watch. Frickin love Conan too
That was incredibly funny. Thank you.
TIL I’m a swallower 😡
I’d put good money on the “heavy metal” that the band played was Budgie’s [Breadfan](https://youtu.be/54H3EUAzpVg).
This is a great thread. I love old Conan. And the new stuff too.
I remember seeing this interview when it originally aired. I was like “Why the hell are we talking to a bread historian on a late night talk show? How is bread historian even a thing?”
Then I watched the segment and was like “I have never been more confused in my life, but that was pretty funny.”
This is a good segment but we all know the greatest talk show segment of all time (any show, not just Conan) is of course [Norm MacDonald and Courtney Thorne Smith](https://youtu.be/bKmadR4Ye54)
i miss Conan.!! Probably one of the best late night show in history. Now we have shows so political they provide no escape. It’s insane how the current late show hosts behave as if they are news anchor.
Gotta find the beer expert he had on. Dude was absolutely hammered!
Conan bounces off people better than anyone.
He’s so fucking quick and sharp.
Maybe I need more Conan in my life.
Professor has great comedic timing.
Why are people calling this man strange? He’s literally one of the funniest guests I’ve seen in a long time
Let’s see Paul Allen’s bread.
Bread guy fucks.
The OG Bread Perv.
“The cops are looking for you.” 😂
Best episode was when Conan had Tom Selleck, then Tom smothered his old moustache, then they had Big Show who told the story of how he used a cookie to knock out a belligerent guest when he was a bouncer, and then Sue Johansen who brought out a bunch of sex toys.
[found it](https://youtu.be/F8V74N64Q20)Wall to wall laughs. Try to find the other segments it’s a really good one.
That was hilarious. Kudos to the guest, he was feeding the comedian to run with it. Good partnership
Conan’s genuine “oh my god”, made me howl 🤣
I’m just a bit upset that with all the innuendo, Conan didn’t think to make a joke about how bagels get their hole.
Everyone talking about the obvious zingers but his quick response of “it has no theology so a Catholic shouldn’t be worried about it” was one of the only times I’ve ever seen Conan be out-quick-witted. He was shocked speechless by it, and you can almost see him break character as he realizes “woah, this guy isn’t just doing a rehearsed act, he’s the real deal”. Then you can see him thinking through all his potential clap-back responses and realizing he’s got literally nothing to top it. Not a position Conan finds himself in frequently.
For me it’s when they ask him what’s the best in life
This was hilarious. That guy was a very good sport and Conan is the perfect person to play off of him.
He just started running with it
This has to be Jordan Schlansky’s dad!
This was fun, but for me nothing will ever top Marth Stewart drinking 40s and eating taco bell. https://youtu.be/aEjbaGzIy0A
What a riot!
Conan definitely forgot his name at the end.
Well. I have never seen this episode and am dying laughing.
*This* was the funniest Conan interview? Yikes.
Bread 🍞 👍
Funny interview. I actually started making my own bread and rolls. I like it much better than processed breads.
This is great, which to me goes to show two things: 1) Content like this must continue to be made, hopefully with talented hosts like Conan and fascinating guests like the one here, and 2) the fact that I’m watching this on my phone at 20 minutes past noon over 15 years later shows that the late night talk show format is dead/dying and must be moved on from, which Conan was smart enough to do a year ago.
I’m starting to think this guy isn’t actually a bread expert….
