I'm sure this question has been asked before,but does anyone know why? And has anyone actually seen that episode? I'm listening to the episode with Donal Logue and Adam is just talking about what a pussy Conan is so I was just wondering.

Oh my! I don't know why either! Does it have any reason to do with Adam being best buddies with Jimmy Kimmel?

it was because of the holocaust call. with the phonesex operator trying to delay how fast her customers cum, by using subliminal messaging. and she misinterpretted adam's advice and ended up saying "mmm...i'm just wearing some black lingerie, so hot, just thinking about the holocaust"

"I saw Adam on Conan -- it was back around 2001 -- And yes, Adam was telling the truth -- the audience was horrible. His whole segment was received the way angry teenage girls receive his jokes on Loveline -- not just with silence, but with bitter silence. About 3/4 of the way through his segment, Adam began to openly turn on them, remarking about what a bad crowd they were. He also made a joke about 90% of the audience being comprised of "angry lesbians" -- This is the infamous line that Conan pussed-out on and allegedly used as the reason for banning him from the show. (Though Conan argues that it wasn't him, but his producers who objected to the angry lesbian line.)"

What I (used to) love about Adam is that when Conan's writing partner and buddy Robert Smigel was on Loveline Adam went on about what a wimp Conan was for banning him. Look for the Triumph show.

Hmm...

I love Adam. I also love Conan. No one here knows if Conan really banned him. Not even Adam. Only the people that work on the show do.

Adam did a bad show. It happens to every entertainer.

If Conan did ban Adam, I probably wouldn't blame him. If you had your own show and you had a guest on and he totally sucked, wouldn't you think twice about having him back on? That's not to say Adam isn't talented. Anyone who listens knows he is. But I can understand where Conan is coming from.

I think it's somewhere in that Smigel/Triumph show, Adam mentions that after he bombed, and then was supposed to go on with Jimmy or Drew, and that Conan (or his people) told him they no longer did 'two-fer' guests, no pairs or couples. They offered that as the reason they were freezing him out. And then shortly after that, Conan had some couple on, Penn & Teller maybe. Point is, they pussed out by lying to Adam. Sure, he bombed when he was on, but don't lie to him about why you're not having him on again.

Yeah. If that's the case, they should have just told him the truth and not lied.

...So that video actually has nothing to do with the thread, right?
