As much as I love Conan, most of that is scripted. If you want to show a video of him actually improvising, show a clip of one of his interviews. Most of them are pretty great either way, but at least with the interviews, you can tell that his responses aren't rehearsed and/or scripted.

To note: Craig Ferguson is even better at this IMO. Even during his monologue, when he's supposed to be watching the cue cards, he'll spend about 50% of the time making his own jokes and never looking at the cue cards. Conan looks at the cards maybe 75% of the time, and Letterman looks at them about 90% of the time.

Edit: I should clarify -- almost all of the interviews on all of those shows are somewhat scripted. The show sends the actor some possible "story lines," and then the actor covers those "story lines" on the show. What's usually unscripted is the host's responses to various quips, so that's what you should look at if you're trying to learn how to adapt to various situations.
