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.

Director and screenwriter James L. Brooks feels quizzical about being Conan O’Brien’s friend. James sits down with Conan to discuss his journey from CBS usher to writing for the best of 70s and 80s television, creating The Mary Tyler Moore Show at exactly the right time, and returning to directing for the screen with his latest film Ella McCay. Plus, Aaron Bleyaert makes a return to expose a hygiene scandal in the studio.
