* Doubles as an [[SugarWiki/MomentOfAwesome Awesome Moment,]] but shortly after Donald Trump makes disparaging remarks about Haiti and its people, Conan and his crew visit Haiti for an episode of Conan Without Borders. Of course, he's greeted by distrustful locals, who see him as just another American tabloid who will show the worst parts of their country and it's clear that many of them are in no mood to listen. What does Conan do? He recites a speech he wrote in Creole, informing them he and his crew ''do not'' endorse Trump or what he said about them and ensures them he wants to show the world the beauty of Haiti, even promising to move there if Trump is re-elected. The locals are quickly won over and many rush to greet and hug him, to his delight. It's often been said that [[NiceGuy Conan O'Brien]] is one of the few people alive who could go anywhere in the world and be [[OneHundredPercentAdorationRating universally loved and accepted.]] This episode proved it true.

* Any time Conan interacts with fans or children is sure to melt the heart. The children he encountered in Iceland or the Haitian primary school he visited are standout examples.

** Let it sink in that Conan isn't a representative from America sent by the government, he's not a reporter, politician or a foreign affairs officer and he's not filming a documentary. He's just a comedian who wanted to show the world what Trump said (and what some may think of Haiti - and other countries for that matter) is dead wrong. Yet he was able to quell a mob of angry locals just by being his own authentic self and showed Haiti in a real, respectful and open way that would make Creator/LouisTheroux proud.

Just wanted to add more Heart to Conan!

Added DiffLines:

* On Valentine's Day, Conan volunteers at a florist and encounters an Israeli man named Yosi, whose wife Mary is a huge fan of his. Conan decides to surprise her by going with Yosi with some flowers. Her reaction at seeing "her Conan" is priceless and you can tell Yosi got ''serious'' brownie points for it. Staged or not, the whole thing is a joy to watch.
* Conan surprising two dedictated fans in Japan with a personal visit.
* There's also his segment where he delivers Chinese food. It goes as well as you'd expect, but at one point, he meets [[NiceGirl a charming young Argentinian woman who gives him directions and offers him tea.]] They have such a nice time together that Conan almost doesn't want to leave!
--> '''Lady:''' What are you guys doing out here?
--> '''Conan''' I was delivering food, but then I met you and... everything changed. ''{cue WistfulSmile from girl)''

* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4itx6mXEJ6c Conan's farewell speech from his final episode on TBS]]. He thanks everyone who has supported him in late night over the decades, and acknowledges his wife Liza as the best thing that's ever happened to him, with the camera cutting to her watching in the audience. This is only the second time Liza has ever appeared on camera on one of Conan's shows - the first time, of course, being in the remote where they met (and where Conan, in his words, "fell in love with her on camera") more than 20 years earlier.
