Conan O’Brien Needs A Friend

Lin-Manuel Miranda

Actor, composer, playwright, and producer Lin-Manuel Miranda feels great about being Conan O’Brien’s friend. Lin-Manuel and Conan sit down this week to chat about the perks of youth theatre, rhyming as a superpower, the magic of Queen &amp; David Bowie’s “Under Pressure,” and handling the immeasurable success of 'Hamilton.' Plus, Conan comes clean about a grand cover-up involving his producer Matt Gourley. Got a question for Conan? Call our voicemail: (323) 451-2821.

After 25 years at the Late Night desk, Conan realized that the only people at his holiday party are the men and women who work for him. Over the years and despite thousands of interviews, Conan has never made a real and lasting friendship with any of his celebrity guests. So, he started a podcast to do just that. Deeper, unboundedly playful, and free from FCC regulations, Conan O’Brien Needs a Friend is a weekly opportunity for Conan to hang out with the people he enjoys most and perhaps find some real friendship along the way.
