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.

Kyle MacLachlan
Actor Kyle MacLachlan feels fortunate about being Conan O’Brien’s friend. Kyle sits down with Conan to discuss his new memoir Fictional Selves, how being plucked from the stage to star in the 1984 adaptation of Dune led to a lifelong collaboration with director David Lynch, and bringing a unique eccentricity to his iconic role as Agent Cooper in Twin Peaks. Plus, Conan responds to a listener voicemail about where this world is going. For Conan videos, tour dates and more visit TeamCoco.com (https://teamcoco.com/).Got a question for Conan?
