I do remember his early Late-nite career he was pretty funny. Clips I saw were amusing. But he did always have a hard-left 'tilt' and like you said he got full-blown TDS in 2016.
Did he make a single joke about Biden? One that wasn't a "backhand compliment" or a disguised attack on Repubs or Trump?
An example of that: "The Biden Whitehouse has a terrible inflation problem. Caused by Trump of course!" The audience cheers & claps like seals. 😶
That sort of thing has been common since the Clinton years. "Dhur Dhur I had sex!" Ignoring his self-admitted Felony Perjury...
I don't agree with that at all, before Trump he was doing the classic "mock all politicians equally" that late night was known for.

I stopped watching Conan in after the 2020 election, I think shortly after J6 (it was during the height of covid) when he did this TDS interview with Trump hater Nicole Wallace.
TBF everybody was afraid to make fun of Obama, I remember the 1st time Jon Stewart made an Obama joke and the crowd acted like he whipped his dick out.
Not his entire career, he was probably the last late night host to go TDS.

Did he ever make fun of Obama? That would be a true metric of objectivity.

They squinted? Jokes aside, that doesn't surprise me. He was the untouchable god.
