Ezra Koenig

Musician and Vampire Weekend frontman Ezra Koenig feels cautiously optimistic about being Conan O’Brien’s friend. Ezra sits down with Conan to discuss producing Vampire Weekend’s first album while teaching full time, looking to artists like Bob Dylan and Leonard Cohen for inspiration, how everything changed in the era between Napster and Spotify, and which of his albums contain the most psychoactive compounds. Later, Conan and his team pitch alternate historical realities. For Conan videos, tour dates and more visit TeamCoco.com. Got a question for Conan? Call our voicemail: (669) 587-2847.

Om Podcasten

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.
