Hey, Conan O'Brien here and we are going to re-air a Conan O'Brien needs a fan.

This is a segment that aired originally not too long ago, February.

We're re-airing it for a very sad reason.

I just found out moments ago that this fan, Adu Prakash, has passed away.

And it's very upsetting because we had a very nice, I mean, for a million reasons, but it, I'm thinking of him because we had a lovely conversation.

He talked to us about his love of birding. He's a birder, and that fascinated me because my dad,

who I lost in December, was a lifelong birder, fascinated with birds, and always going out to

check out birds and identify them. And I would go with him as a kid. So I could bond with Adu

about this. And he was really sweet, very funny,

as you'll see in the segment. And we had a lovely chat. He came up with birds that we looked

like. He had a really good sense of humor. And it is the, just, it's very strange to be kind of

shocked by the passing of someone who we just spoke to over a Zoom. And we had a

connection. But a connection is a connection. It's a real, he reached out to us, and we shared time

with him and had a lovely experience. And he even invited me to his wedding. And I said I wasn't

able to go because I was getting ready for the Oscars at the time. I'm not sure I would have been able to go anyway, but still, it's just very unsettling.

My thoughts and all our thoughts are with Adu's family and his friends and people who really knew him.

And we just wanted to re-air this conversation

because it was just lovely getting to chat with him.

And so this is our way of honoring his passing.

So let's air this segment with Adu Prakash and we are very sorry, very sorry to

everyone who knew and loved him. Conan O'Brien needs a fan. Want to talk to Conan? Visit team cocoa.com slash call Conan.
