When Conan O’Brien makes an appearance as a guest on a talk show, it’s sure to bring about a whirlwind of energy, and his time on The Late Show is no different.

In the 23-minute video above, the previous late-night host engages in conversation with Stephen Colbert about his involvement in the A24 drama If I Had Legs I’d Kick You (introducing the segment in true Conan fashion), recounts a humorous anecdote about his mother offering guidance to Jim Carrey, and takes a moment to share a heartfelt message with Colbert regarding his future once The Late Show finishes next April.

“I, of course, treasure you, I love you, I know you both as a person and as a comedic talent, and like many, I’m deeply saddened that this chapter is coming to a close,” O’Brien expresses. “Nevertheless, I want to convey that you are going to achieve remarkable things, you will have a lot of joy, and the bond you share — and this is not solely you, it’s Mr. Kimmel, and Fallon, all these individuals possess — is quite unique. The connection you have with your audience, you’re carrying forward with you. No one else possesses that. It’s yours.”
