Tim Minchin Makes US Television Debut on Conan O'Brien

[fiendishtooth]

I like when he showed up the second time on the show and played Prejudice. That was Awesome.

[Drekoguk]

Conan is really tall (6'4) and Tim isn't wearing any shoes, so that explains the like 6 inch discrepancy.

[Jantles]

this was good but I much prefer the breast cancer concert version

[reanimated0]

5:05 gets me everytime

[canarylove]

Ahh, I was so excited when I heard Tim was going to be on Conan. I want so bad for more people to fall in love with him. I kind of expected him to go with Inflatable You - perfect "adult humor" and uits not really offensive at all. Rock and Roll Nerd could've also been a good one.

I loved when the audience yelled "Tissue", first time I've seen that happen, I think even Tim was surprised they actually did it lol

[markstruemind]

Absolutely Brilliant!

[lewisbreland]

For some reason, this reminds me of a VERY YOUNG Barbra Streisand...mannerisms and humor...though much more risqué!

[Riddicard]

Is he really short, or is Conan really tall? O.O

[wwlddms]

@Riddicard Conan is very tall. He towers above all his guests.

[DaltonMunnal]

I wish I would've known he was on Conan. Facebook decided to just today advertise it to me. =/

So glad he finally did something in America. And I agree with all of your description.

[wesleyman3]

It's about fucking time He came to america, I want a tour here damn it! I've been waiting for SO LONG!

[TheMoritati]

Tim is undoubtedly the best musical comedian alive.

[SlickMongeese]

Would have been a great way to introduce himself to America if he'd done "10 foot cock".......

[carbonatedturd]

I don't know what I'm more impressed by, his brilliant sense of humour, or his brilliant piano playing. Thank you, Conan for once again introducing me to an amazing comedian.

[CyrusShadowBlade]

@carbonatedturd check out his song Dark Side. It's definitely his most impressive piano piece to me.

[carbonatedturd]

@CyrusShadowBlade I actually downloaded that album right after watching this yesterday. All 5 of us in my carpool were laughing hysterically the entire ride home. This guy is unbelievable, and even more impressive than I initially thought. He could easily have a very successful career as a concert pianist if he wanted to. Can't wait to hear more from him.

[abfab55]

"furry crack" is not a new lyric. I'm pretty sure its in the original version.

[8DX]

Lolz... loved the new (?) lyrics.. "furry crack" - cracked me up!

Although My overall fav is confessions I think he chose well.

[jegrast]

@8DX Nope, that part is not new.

[GordonWolters]

My stock in Conan just went up.

[lordlacolith]

I'm so happy that he's finally made it over to my home country. Here's to many, many more of the same!

Personally, I kind of wish it was Rock & Roll Nerd.

Or Storm. Although I don't know if he's perfected his duck-out-of-the-way-of-thrown-­beer-bottles move yet to do that in the US.

[jbrisby]

Kinda odd that he didn't go with Prejudice...it's perfect for Conan ;)

[LawnBoy75]

@jbrisby He tweeted that "ginger" isn't common enough in America for the joke to work.

[jbrisby]

@LawnBoy75 Too bad. It didn't stop South Park.

[ogTJ]

@LawnBoy75 No it definitely is. Well, at least for the generation(s) born in the 90s.

[canarylove]

@LawnBoy75 yeah, i was surprised that people don't use ginger in america... I guess i've just heard it so much I thought it was just like any other word.

[punkrooster1210]

@canarylove thanks to southpark and that "ginger kids do have souls" guy, a bunch of people use it here now

[PunkCabaretFTW]

@LawnBoy75 Yeah, no, wait, South Park is the REASON "ginger" is common enough in America. :P

[shaedies]

@jbrisby He considered 'ginger' to be too unknown a slang for red heads in america.

[westeightyone]

@jbrisby

'Prejudice' is a great song but it wouldn't be a good introduction song.

It takes too long to get to the punch line ( 'only a ginger can call another ginger ginger' ).

'Inflatable You' was the perfect choice for a show that includes a masturbating bear amongst its roster of players.The song got funny real quick and it stayed funny.

'Prejudice' would be a great song for a return visit now that he's won Conan's audience over.

[11mrblue]

BRILLIANT BRILLIANT BRILLIANT BRILLIANT. Thanks for posting :)

EVERYONE SHOULD WATCH ALL OF THOSE VIDEOS. 

[Winnjn5]

Went with inflatable you! Nice.

[Ikchen]

Finally a version with the funky dance! Thanks!
