Conan O’Brien Needs A Friend

Billy Corgan And The Songs That Inspired Him

Conan sits down with Billy Corgan of The Smashing Pumpkins for a conversation about navigating the changing music industry over a 35 year career and the songs that inspired him.  Follow along with the full list of songs here:  Wish You Were Here (Pink Floyd)Fade to Black (Metallica)Love Will Tear Us Apart (Joy Division)

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.
