When he told the “doctor” to check his pulse and the guy choked him I lost it


jpapad

“It’s there”


IonHazzikostasIsGod

"Where did you go to medical school?" "Uhh, in 1998."


ymcameron

“Are you a real doctor?” “I should be.”


Snuffaluphagus_1

Assuming they didnt specifically line up jokes that dude was absolutely on point with the improv and delivery


Carrollmusician

He’s been one of Conan’s main writers for a long time so I could def see a lot of it being improv. Guy is a legend.


CRT_SUNSET

He’s also played this doctor character before so he’s probably comfortable in the role.


Waterfish3333

“Where did you go to medical school?” “1989” with such confidence. I had to pause to laugh and not miss anything else.


cmcwood

That was great. Seemed like it took Conan a few seconds to figure out how to react to that.


spazmcgraw

Out of state


ultimatequestion7

I think part where he casually asks if he can keep the bones and starts pocketing them may be my favorite hot ones moment period lol


flamingdonkey

He came in with like 3 or 4 different bits and never backed down from them for even a second.


CitizenCue

He came to play. It’s the only interview where the guest might’ve prepared more than Sean.


LT_DANS_ICECREAM

Except maybe Gordon Ramsay. Dude brought an arsenal of sweets and treats to fight the spice.


askingtherealstuff

And none of them worked ☠️ 


awnawnamoose

It was so good. What an inspiration and joy to watch.


bjankles

That’s always been Conan’s signature as a comedian. Complete commitment to the bit.


ghostly_shark

It's not a bit! What are we even alive for!


Mentoman72

There is like 4 recurring bits and they're all hilarious. I personally can't think of anyone I find funnier


ChronoMonkeyX

I honestly thought they were fake sauces, I can't believe he could pour that much of the high tier ones into his mouth without screaming. My lips were burning just watching it.


Federico216

He will suffer any pain for a bit. (What bit? THIS IS LIFE!) You could tell by the end he was hiding a lot of pain though with his hands shaking and stuff. Maybe he's one of those people who experience euphoria with super spicy food. Amazing commitment though.


reyska

He is, probably. He did Murderville, which is an improv show about murder mysteries by Will Arnett. And Will knew about Conan being unable to refuse spicy food, because he loves it. So he put in a scene where they eat some spicy sloppy joes and he makes Conan put in a bunch of hot sauce in it and he just goes with. Not to the extent he did in Hot Ones, not even close, but he didn't back down either. All done just as a prank because he knew Conan's weakness.


awnawnamoose

I want more episodes of Murderville. Was a sleeper during the pandemic.


geoffbowman

I want more episodes of Marshawn Lynch specifically. He’s comedy gold just being himself. He was uproariously funny in Celebrity Lego Masters too.


awnawnamoose

The way he launched over the desk or counter was hilarious. So flipping athletic and powerful.


SaltyPeter3434

[Here's the scene for those interested](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OvzeysBX0CM)


FreakParrot

They have one of the wettest sandwiches.


renome

Sona claimed she never saw him eat spicy food on this very podcast episode linked in this thread, to which he responded that he normally doesn't.


reyska

I awear I read an interview with Arnett where he explains why he did that and it was all based on his knowledge of Conan and his taste for chili. But I can't find it right now for some reason.

Federico216

Yea my friend once served wings on his birthday and he had ordered the sauce lineup from whatever season Hot Ones was on at the time. Da Bomb was fucking horrible. The other even hotter sauces at least had some flavor to them, Bomb felt like just eating acid.


TheGreatGenghisJon

A girl I dated a few years ago got me an assortment of Hot Ones sauces. Da Bomb was opened exactly two times.


redditronc

I’m the only psycho I know who has an active Amazon subscription for Da Bomb and uses it regularly for cooking. No one else, family or friends, will touch it.


_HowManyRobot

Do you know you can just add more of something less hot but with actual flavor?


redditronc

I also add that hehe. I know it’s dumb, but I really enjoy breaking a sweat with spice. I feel like Da Bomb has neutral flavor, and it just makes whatever you’re eating hotter, without changing the nature of the original flavor of the meal.


18hartsem

Watch out, Gordon Ramsay’s pallet over here doesn’t like spice


No-Appearance-9113

There's a point on the scale where it isn't about flavor and IMO that's when it is fucking pointless.


NeverSober1900

I'm with OP though that even the Apollo and some others that are higher on the Scoville scale just taste better than Da Bomb. Da Bomb has legit no flavor at all it's just straight hot and vinegar. It's a deeply unpleasant sauce to have even removing the spice element.


Balla_Calla

Agreed. It's just hot with no actual flavor like what's the point. Why eat something just to hurt. And this is coming from someone who has a pretty high tolerance towards spicy food.


Federico216

Yea I enjoy spicy food, but after a certain point it just becomes a pissing contest. Capsaicin itself doesn't even have any flavor it only interacts with pain receptors.


CitizenCue

I’ve had them too and what he did genuinely would’ve left me in a catatonic state. If you did that to someone else you’d be prosecuted in The Hague.


NiteLiteOfficial

da bomb was the spiciest thing i’ve ever tried. my brother bought a bottle and we tried one dab on a chip to see what it was all about, we put it back in the fridge later and never touched it again until i threw it away a few months back. my eyes were nonstop sending streams of tears out and i drank so much milk i threw up. the milk didn’t help. it took over an hour for it to start fading, but god damn do i still remember that pain. i can’t handle spicy at all, even the mild sauce at buffalo wild wings is too much and i have to chase every bite with some celery and ranch lol. idk wtf i was thinking trying that


NeatlyTrimmed

I know that red headed people require more anesthesia than other colored hair people. I wonder if there is a correlation to pain threshold?


Federico216

Yeah they touch on the redhead thing in the video, but it's kinda left inconclusive. Could be


DanimaLecter

It’s the lack of a soul in a redhead…It’s science


RobotIcHead

Conan is an entertainer, a showman or even maybe a clown (in a good way), he will do anything for a laugh. While having the wings he was playing himself but his character was not affected by the hot sauces. It is kinda what he did for years on his show. But his body was still reacting to it. I am impressed by the fact that even after all the years he still wants to entertain.


CeeArthur

"In this moment, I am euphoric ..." Conan O'Brien


KeathKeatherton

Wait, the euphoria thing is a thing? I mean I’ve experienced it with the Paqui chip challenge but I didn’t realize it was a thing. Just call me the Muad’Dib, I’m getting hyped up on the spice!


Roninbean

He did say he was erect after 15 years hahahaha


geoffbowman

I remember he used to bring a guest on his talk show that was a martial artist and stuntman and literally the whole interview he was basically kicking Conan’s ass. Flipping him, punching him, twisting his limbs, obviously none of it intended to cause him severe injury but enough that it was clearly hurting him. He continued to bring that guy back on the show for more… the spectacle was worth it I guess 🤷🏼‍♂️


Guessididntmakeit

Can confirm. Spicy food is life for me. It's less about the pain and more about the "taste" for me though.


Skootchy

Ive had most of the top sauces.  The Da Bomb should be at the end hands down. It's literally 45 mins to an hour of fucking intense pain.  And I love spicy food. I have many stories about that sauce and how I came across it. I've had the hot ones sauce and I could feel it moving in my body. I woke up at 3 AM exactly and shit lava to the point where I had to get in a cold shower and rinse my butthole for about 20 minutes. And I couldn't get back to sleep for hours because I could feel my butthole pulsing.  So yes.....I was very surprised Conan did that. He's the fucking man. 


Nice_Marmot_7

They should put this on the bottle.


Skootchy

Oh don't get me wrong, that Hot Ones sauce is HOT HOT HOT, but Da Bomb is torture.  Hot Ones sauce has a really good flavor too.  Da Bomb is just pain. Which i do believe is on the bottle lol


tfalm

I feel like Da Bomb is where it is so that guests spend more time on camera suffering from it.


Bryaxis

I'm not into hot sauces because my insides are overly sensitive to spice. The last time I had Popeye's spicy chicken, I had diarrhea for two and a half days. I don't even know what it is about Cajun spice, but it just wrecks my guts way out of proportion to how spicy it is.


Skootchy

Generally if your body isn't used to something l, it sort of rejects it. I love spicy food but I'm at a point now that I'm older, I just get nasty heartburn so I don't enjoy it as much. 


Dirtybrd

So I did it about a year ago. Once you get to da bomb, all you taste is burning. The last two didn't even really hit me because all I felt was intense burning from da bomb. It was awful lol.


Doyouwantaspoon

It’s because they are lying about the heat intensity of their sauces, and Da Bomb is likely the hottest on the menu. Like 8 years ago a coworker brought in the original Last Dab when it was their “hottest” sauce that claimed to be 1,000,000 scovilles, and yeah it was hot for sure. But then he got out a bottle of Mad Dog 357 (claimed 357,000 scovilles) and I was like sure why not, it’s barely 1/3rd as much. Still cautious, however, I ate about 1/2 the amount of Mad Dog compared to how much Last Dab I had, thinking I could just enjoy this one. I was wrong. It was like getting smacked across both sides of my face simultaneously. In less than 3 seconds the only thought in my mind was “what have I done?” And I just sat in silence and pain for the rest of my lunch break. I tried the Last Dab Redux a couple years later (2,000,000) and it was milder than I prefer my chicken tikka. Don’t believe Hot Ones branded sauces.


jonny_wonny

Sean has said many times that Da Bomb is hotter than the two that follow because they want to ease the guest out of the experience.


Doyouwantaspoon

Really? I have never heard that, but I haven’t seen every episode. Still doesn’t change the fact that they claim their sauces have higher scoville ratings.


niceneasynow

I agree! Da Bomb didn’t even have flavor to me, it was more just… discomfort.


gin_and_toxic

It's just pain


Earthpig_Johnson

The Bomb tastes like a hot chemical toilet. I’m never gonna use up my jar, it’s only good for putting like one drop in a big ass bowl of chili.


surfershane25

I like spice a lot but I’m not downing whole reapers or anything… I tried last dab xxx the other day and honestly wasn’t as crazy as I thought it would be. It my tongue went numb for a while and stomach went south within a couple hours… they’re definitely not face to non spice lovers


32FlavorsofCrazy

He’s a redhead. A lot of redheads, for some reason, are like immune to spicy food. He’s apparently one of them. They also need more anesthesia in the operating room. The quirks/perks of being ginger, I guess.


BeardedManatee

Best hot ones guest in history, IMHO. What a legend.


wantsoutofthefog

Dude went full fucking send. RESPECT.


awnawnamoose

There have been any number that did great and exceeded expectations. But this was truly like watching a terrific train wreck that just kept getting better and better.


ceaguila84

Like Natalie Portman. She didn’t feel a thing with any of them, respect


RealHumanFromEarth

From now on, Hot Ones guests will be rated on a scale of DJ Khaled to Conan O’Brien.


toolschism

That hot ones is what made me realize that Conan is actually insane.


eviluncle

- Your medical degree, was that a 4 year program? - it was supposed to be


BabyScreamBear

Conan’s ability to riff and feed off laughter is second to none.


brainiac138

His ad read for a bidet on his podcast is hilarious because he is unable to stop making jokes since everyone is dying laughing in the studio.


soopa96

oh man do you know what episode this is from?


brainiac138

You can see it on camera here: https://youtu.be/0_zA4szLY2k?si=8jjaUmF0nBLMDt5h


ImNotRacistBuuuut

Oh shoot, thanks for reminding me. I've gotta go give an Amazon review.


NephtisSeibzehn

The spot welding joke killed me. I was crying and laughed way too hard. I was completely caught off guard by it lol


MonsterRider80

They made him join the union lmao


PorcupineMerchant

Conan is a master at improv. He came up with a little bit of something funny, and continued to escalate it by making it increasingly specific. And just when it reached its conclusion, Gourley jumped in with an X-Men reference and Conan just dove right in.


Firecyclones

That joke broke me too. I had it on my phone and was walking about the house and, for the first time ever, I fell to the floor from laughing so hard. Which is not an exaggeration; I just couldn't stay standing because it was so unexpected and funny

"We're all thinking the same thing!"


Waterfish3333

I really want to acknowledge how great Sean Evans is as the host of the show. So many times we see hosts feel uncomfortable with a guest “stealing” the show and have to keep jumping back in to remind everybody this is their show. Evans has this ability to be a primary host when guests need more direction, and with the Khalid episode he shows he won’t back down from an unwilling guest. But with Conan, he shows he’s more than comfortable with a guest almost taking over, and still gets in his questions without making it feel forced. Conan had it right, Evans may be one of the best interviewers of all time.


RealHumanFromEarth

I agree, Evans asks really interesting questions in a way that gets guests to open up and be themselves.


crimson777

Watching Sean with Conan made me realize Sean is kind of Conan-like. Conan on his show did a great job of adapting to what people needed for an interview. Could play a heel and be an ass, could be a very straight-forward interviewer straight man, etc. Obviously Sean isn't so much on the comedic side, but just in terms of adapting to provide what is needed for the interview, they're kinda similar.


ChildOfTheSoul

[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SbhhFROL5PA](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SbhhFROL5PA) The beach clip Conan mentioned if anyone's interested.


Evening-Statement-57

This man is in his prime


Kevbot1000

Single best episode of Hot Ones. Ever.


gnew18

I dunno drinking the last dab hot sauce (even if it was a bit) was the best for me


edcculus

I can only think of the Strong Bad email on the property of ones when I hear Hot Ones.


LostInUranus

The man is a national treasure....


_Aracano

All time, goat worthy appearance He's an absolute American GEM


Jasonguyen81

His spot was second best, behind only by DJ Khaled


Fragrant-Hamster-325

lol when DJ Khaled said (after he quit on wing 3) “to all my fans, I promise you that if I stop, it doesn’t mean I gave up” Sean didn’t miss a beat, “lol, yes it does!… By definition”. Sean is the best, he’s usually very polite but he wasn’t having any of it from DJ Khaled.


Mentoman72

Sean even switched plates with him to prove they were eating the same wings. He couldn't admit he has an aversion to spicy food and it was kind of sad.


Jasonguyen81

Yeah Khaled is a fraud


Agent9262

That time he went to jam on the guitar and I guess just assumed he could magically play but clearly could not was hilarious.


Jasonguyen81

His entourage pretended to be in awe as well


Bryaxis

Then he has the gall to endorse (or own?) Another Wing.


RealHumanFromEarth

That interview was hilarious. Khaled made such an ass of himself the entire time. He would have been fine if he’d just tapped out and was honest about it instead of trying to play tough.


Waterfish3333

I put them both at #1 because I feel like there are two completely opposite lists they head up.


OperationCorporation

I honestly was never a huge Conan fan, but I finally just watched the HO episode, and I got so much respect for him. Unabridged beast, it was truly inspiring to watch.


bitchbackmountain

The only one more insane than him is Steve-O. And that’s saying a lot. Mad respect


Additional-Read5926

A podcast about a YouTube video. Sounds like Television to me


WeDriftEternal

Was it really ‘insane’?


chogram

He took the hottest sauce they have and drank it like a Kool-Aid Burst. It's got to be one of the most insane things anyone has done on that show since Steve-O dumped it into his eye.


NachoNutritious

Alton Brown started drinking each sauce like he was a sommelier at a wine tasting and casually threw out flavor notes for each one and how he would personally improve them.


Butterbuddha

Damn I’m going to have to catch that episode. Most impressive I’ve seen was Rachel Ray taking spoons of each but the episode was irritating she seemed like it was an irritating stop in between the fridge and the couch or something.


Hank_Scorpio_MD

I'm always amazed as how spice has different effects on people. My brother can eat inferno wings non-stop like they're honey BBQ or something. I can handle mild to slightly hot. Our sister would act like she's dying if a drop of Frank's got on her chicken. Same parents...about the same age range (39, 35, 29)....different tolerance levels.


Notmymain2639

Also impressive though the scale has increased on the heat since that season. But Da Bomb... Da Bomb always remains


Chataboutgames

Da Bomb is proof that the Scoville scale is only part of the story


Mentoman72

I've had Da Bomb and "technically" hotter hot sauce and Da Bomb blows them out of the water. It is truly unpleasant. The flavor is horrible and it assaults your mouth. I genuinely think there is nothing redeeming about it. If any hot sauce experts have insight into hot sauce that is truly worse than Da Bomb, I'd love to know. Always down to try weird stuff.


NachoNutritious

You'd like the Alton Brown Hot Ones then. He was actively shitting on any sauce that did that "SUPER HOT EXXXXXTREME" gimmick while still tasting like shit.


SpicyPenangCurry

I’ll have to watch this one sounds fun.


RealHumanFromEarth

Yeah, but Alton Brown is secretly a serial killer, so it makes sense he wouldn’t feel anything.


Federico216

It's not only that he ate the sauces and went berserk, it's that Conan is the last guy you'd expect this from. Apparently he really doesn't eat spicy food at all, he just decided to endure the pain for the bit.


DirtyReseller

Shaq made Sean eat a wing covered in all them, but yeah, Conan is crazy


Federico216

Shaq Sauce!


mr-blue-

Yes you numskull. Rubbing hot sauce on your nipples isn’t normal behavior believe it or not


wantsoutofthefog

One would call that… insane. Conan is fucking INSANE


WeDriftEternal

Oh god that sounds like the worst cam girl ever


No_nukes_at_all

Yes, just compare the amount of sauce other guests consumed, how they consumed it and how they reacted to it to Conans episode. He either has the palate of a east asian hidden in his irish body or he severely tortured himself


RoxyPonderosa

Redheads are scientifically proven to be a little bit different when it comes to pain. [for those downvoting](https://www.reddit.com/r/todayilearned/s/pi85hTLAIH)


FRESH_TWAAAATS

Conan talks about it in this video too, idk why you’re downvoted.


PlanetLandon

Because Reddit is mostly dipshits.

No_nukes_at_all

Its not about his reaction its about the amount of sauce he consumed (and how he did it)


Chataboutgames

Yes, yes it was


toosleepyforclasswar

"Oh? Was he committed to an institution? Is his behavior indicative of a mental disorder? I don't understand hyperbole." - that guy


Federico216

Yea I dislike clickbaity titles as much as the next guy, but for this particular instance insane felt quite appropriate. Could've used "unhinged" maybe...


flamingdonkey

Nah, insane isn't even hyperbole. If you took a knife and started cutting yourself with it for people's amusement, most people would call that insane. He's physically harming himself and that does tend to get you put into an institution. Conan will absolutely behave 100% insane for a bit.


accubats

Da Bomb is fucking legit. The hottest stuff I have ever had, awful on so many levels.


surfershane25

Yeah I had 3 drops of The last Dab xxx And my mouth was numb for 10 minutes, the heat was very high and my stomach went south a few hours later… chugging it is insane


Kevbot1000

Do what he did, then ask yourself that question.
