Joe Rogan: Back in 2006, when they announced you'd replace Jay Leno on The Tonight Show, I remember telling you, half-joking, "It's going to go horribly wrong. When the time comes, Jay won't let you have that show." Conan O'Brien: I remember. Looking back, it's crazy. I don't like talking about it because I made a rule for myself: people in show business shouldn't complain. We get to live our dreams and make a great living. Nobody wants to hear us whining. On my TBS show, guests would always bring it up. I'd make a quick joke and move on. But the next day, headlines would say, "Conan can't let it go." What people didn't realize is that I was only answering the questions I was asked. Another thing people don't understand is how rare it is to get an opportunity like The Tonight Show. At one point, Fox reportedly offered me around $28 million to leave NBC. NBC countered with a smaller deal but promised me The Tonight Show when Jay retired. I turned down the bigger payday because I never made career decisions based on money. Money is nice, but I've lived without it before. What mattered most to me was my body of work. Next to my wife and kids, it's the most important thing in my life. It's my legacy. I didn't want to leave NBC on bad terms or lose access to the 16 years of work I was incredibly proud of. I don't regret trying. I don't regret any of it. Life is about playing the cards you're dealt. I've been unbelievably lucky in my career, but I've also had difficult moments. Looking back, I'm proud of how I played those cards.

@AmyHatcher222 Thanks for the bible verse

Before you judge someone else, check your own heart first. 🤍 We rarely know the battles someone is fighting or the burdens they carry. Lead with grace, choose compassion over assumptions, and let kindness guide your words. 👉🏼A humble heart sees people differently.♥️ “Why do you look at the speck in your brother’s eye and pay no attention to the plank in your own eye?” Matthew 7:3

@hippyseachick It's beautiful

And here I went .....beautiful this morning

Joe Rogan: A lot of the strikes were centered around AI and what it's going to do to Hollywood. Is the biggest concern people's likenesses, AI-written movies, or something else? Ben Affleck: AI raises legitimate concerns, especially around digital rights and likenesses, but I think people overestimate its creative abilities. Tools like ChatGPT, Claude, and Gemini are useful, but they tend to produce average work. I don't believe AI is going to replace filmmakers or suddenly create great movies on its own. It's more likely to become another filmmaking tool—like CGI or visual effects. There should be protections around people's names and images, but many of those laws already exist. Ultimately, AI will help make certain parts of filmmaking cheaper and easier, while human creativity will remain the most important part.

Howard Stern: For a guy like you who eventually needed antidepressants and some help later on, I can't imagine what you went through when you first took over Late Night. People were attacking you for trying to make them laugh. Conan O'Brien: I didn't have the knowledge I have today. There were some really, really dark moments. Howard Stern: What stands out? Conan O'Brien: We'd only been on the air for two or three months, and things weren't going well. I did Charlie Rose's show, and he said, "You're probably aware of what came out in The Washington Post today." Howard Stern: Oh no. Conan O'Brien: He read a review from Tom Shales—the biggest TV critic at the time. It was a brutal takedown of me, Andy, and the show. Howard Stern: Back then, that could end a career. Conan O'Brien: Exactly. And honestly, I didn't think he was wrong. I was very raw. I was such a David Letterman fan that I always say, if I hadn't been me, I would've hated me. Howard Stern: But why would Charlie Rose read that to you on air? Conan O'Brien: I think he was just being a journalist. I don't hold it against him. Howard Stern: What happened afterward? Conan O'Brien: I left the studio, got into a town car with my team, and nobody said a word. We got back to the office, and I quietly shut my door. Howard Stern: And then? Conan O'Brien: I had this old iron desk in my office. I got down on the floor, crawled underneath it, and just lay there. Howard Stern: Seriously? Conan O'Brien: Yeah. After a while, someone saw my legs sticking out and got our executive producer, Jeff Ross. He leaned in and asked, "You OK?" Howard Stern: What did you tell him? Conan O'Brien: From underneath the desk, I said, "I'm fine. I just need to lie here for a while. I'll start meetings in ten minutes." Howard Stern: That's a level of shame I understand. And you didn't have a therapist or medication then. Conan O'Brien: No, I didn't. Howard Stern: Charlie Rose basically put you in the middle of the town square. Conan O'Brien: Maybe. But honestly, I don't resent him. That was just another day at work for him. Howard Stern: Looking back now, after all the highs and lows, would you change any of it? Conan O'Brien: No. I wouldn't change anything. Howard Stern: Really? Conan O'Brien: My dad said something I'll never forget: "If you can survive this, it's going to make the whole story that much better."

@Ankara_inc very few people love what they do these days

Harrison Ford says since he starred in Yellowstone people no longer want anything from him They don’t want a photo. They don’t want an autograph. They just want him to know they like the show. “They don’t want a picture, they don’t want an autograph. They just want to tell me that they, um, like the show. And I think it’s because I’m in their living room now, and I’m much more familiar. It’s a testament to what television does. It’s , somehow, more intimate relationship now. And they don’t want anything. They just want to, for me to know that they like the show. And, ‘Thank you very much.’ They even like…”

@Tokyo_pi1 lmao 😂

Josh Brolin says during an Avengers scene he forgot ‘Thanos’ line and Mark Ruffalo somehow remembered it. Josh Brolin: “We were filming an Avengers scene, and I completely blanked on my line as Thanos. I looked at Mark Ruffalo and whispered, ‘What’s my line?’ He said, ‘I don’t know.’ Then I panicked, ‘You HAVE to know!’ Somehow he actually remembered my line. I still have no idea how Ruffalo knew Thanos’ dialogue better than I did.”

@Bradsongeye imagine buying an expensive house

Caller:“Dave, I make $240k but I’m drowning in $130k debt during this divorce. House, two cars, credit cards, loans, and taxes I haven’t filed…” Dave: “First, food on the table and keep the lights on at both houses. Credit cards are last. This is survival mode. Sell the house you’ve got $350k equity. Sell one car. Treat this divorce like a business deal, not a war. File those 2025 taxes TODAY or the penalties will destroy you.” Dave: “Use the house money to wipe out that $130k debt clean. Split what’s left. Drag this out and it’ll financially and emotionally wreck you both. Get mediation moving NOW.” Sam:“Got it…” Dave:“No limbo. Act fast, simplify, and get free.”

@bigsoup6_7 Good morning America

The emptiness of a gym at 5am is beautiful

@robbielacky Happy hump day my friend

Happy WEDNESDAY 🔆The Hump Day 🐫 When I was younger, partying all week was nothing, but, as we get older, one or two party nights got their consequences. 😆 "We cannot direct the wind, but we can adjust the sails." Good Vibes Everyone! Happy midweek. #motivation

@NickGregorio15 Everyone been saying the same thing

@SageScrolll Howard is such a punk. He hates Jay and brings up the whole thing to shade Jay. Jay is a genuinely nice person who paid his crew through every strike in Hollywood. Howard is a POS, scumbag, who only got popular amblifying pornographers and abusing his guests.
