At this point, It should not really come as a surprise that Conan O’Brien going overseas to remote places makes for really great television. Cuba, Armenia, and Mission Conan to the Al Udeid Air Base in Qatar for the troops have all really showcased O’Brien and his show’s versatility in the still early, formative stages of this new era of late night.

Whether it be working with military dogs…

…or just doing hosting a live show…

…or ribbing the troops just right…

…or giving EOD a try…

…or having Conan writers Brian Kiley and Laurie Kilmartin do stand-up…

…as well as John Mulaney and Grace Potter perform all the way over in Qatar…

…Conan makes a great case for way more of this to be ordered by TBS.

Even when, he couldn’t get a camera in the plane with First Lady Michelle Obama, the show cooked up something pretty great.

Conan O’Brien’s latest sojourn took him to Qatar where U.S. troops are stationed and the 2022 World Cup is set to take place. First Lady Michelle Obama invited Conan to bring the show over to the Arab country and, from the looks of it, Conan’s got a bunch of great remotes and live performances set up, per usual.

Here’s a preview. Mission Conan premieres tonight at 11PM on TBS.

More of Conan O’Brien roaming around is a great thing.

Last year, it was announced that Conan O’Brien and Team Coco would have six different week long trips that would be shot and edited into specials. So far, we’ve really enjoyed Conan in Cuba, Conan in Armenia, and his trip to Comic-Con.

Naturally, we’re happy to find out that his next trip special where he ventures over to Qatar to visit the troops is premiering on Jan. 25th. John Mulaney, First Lady Michelle Obama, and more joined O’Brien during his time there. Also, the announced return to the San Diego Comic-Con is pretty great too and we can only hope that he makes his visit an annual tradition.

If Conan’s gone to places like Cuba, Armenia, and, soon, Qatar, one can only be curious what other places like that is he going to visit? Siberia?

TBS is really showing their cards this week by not only announcing that their latest series order comes from Conan O’Brien’s Conaco for People of Earth starring Wyatt Cenac, but releasing a teaser for the alien abduction support group comedy.

It’s clear to see that they’re turning a new leaf by going more into single-camera and getting weirder than they’ve ever been and we’re excited to see how far they go in that direction.

Of course, Conan O’Brien’s first remote segment of 2016 is so damn funny as all his remotes are so damn funny.

This time, Conan helps a Team Coco staffer Diana Chang get ready for her driving test and brings along experienced driving instructors(?) Kevin Hart and Ice Cube. The results probably have overprepared Diana and give us the Ice Cube that the country got into from the first Friday.

Watch it all here.

Conan’s famous associate producer Jordan Schlansky has many obsessions that have been cataloged and systematically ridiculed by Conan O’Brien over the years. Aside from wine, coffee, water, and Italy, Jordan is a huge Star Wars fan.

As Conan had a Star Wars themed episode last night, they let Jordan geek out over meeting Harrison Ford and Star Wars: The Force Awakens director J.J. Abrams as well as get a pretty great bit out if.

The Conan in Armenia special aired this week and is now online in full at TeamCoco.com or diced up into several great clips.

As you probably expected, Conan brought his legendary goofing around wherever he and his assistant Sona Movsesian went.

From an Armenian language course to taking requests from Sona’s family…

…to visiting an Armenian matchmaker per Sona’s family request…

…to buying an authentic Armenian rug…

…to trading some dance moves at an Armenian temple…

…to taking a necessary and respectful visit to the Armenian Genocide Memorial…

…to picking a “tasteful” painting at a flea market…

…to joining in the festivities at Armenia’s Yerevan Day as well as meeting fans that are also Syrian refugees…

…to attempting to herd some sheep…

…to showing of the spoils of their trip to Sona’s family, Conan and Sona’s visit to Armenia is a great showcase for Conan having a whole other show where he travels to the forgotten places amongst travel shows and makes great TV just by being Conan.

As you all well know by Conan O’Brien’s remote segments, Conan can take the most tepid of places and make it as full of tomfoolery just by himself.

The addition of his assistant Sona Movsesian who is trying to not be too embarrassed in the Conan in Armenia special that premieres tonight (11PM on TBS) only make Conan’s clowning around all the more apparent and joyful.

On the eve of Fallout 4′s release, Conan O’Brien had last night’s Conan tricked out Fallout style.

Not only was there a new episode of Clueless Gamer where he reviewed the game in his own non-gamer way with gamer Aaron Bleyaert, but he made a special intro and got into costume especially for the game.

Needless to say, pretty much any other Fallout 4 review need not apply.

From Cuba to Armenia to Qatar, Conan O’Brien is making a point of going where American comedy rarely, if ever, goes.

We’re already looking forward to the special where Conan goes to Armenia and now, we’ll also be highly anticipating the now globe trotting Conan O’Brien visiting U.S. troops stationed at Qatar next week.

It’ll be interesting to see where Conan will go with hijinks with accompanying First Lady Michelle Obama.

At this rate, anyone think O’Brien will get another show where he just visits places?

He might have had this title for years now, but Conan O’Brien has to unequivocally be the most intrepid host in late night.

He’s traveled all across the globe over his decades as a late night talk show host from Atlanta to Ireland to Cuba to Comic-Con, which has made for some of his best segments.

Now, Conan is taping a whole show in Armenia along with his assistant, Sona Movsesian, who happens to be Armenian, set to premiere on Nov. 10th on TBS.

There’ll be plenty of reminders between now and the premiere date, but make sure now to watch this.

Rather than watching go through questions on a blue card, you want to be lured in the ultra cool hangout that is a late night talk show when watching late night.

Jeff Goldblum’s appearance on Conan this week was just that as it crossed the intersection of the silly and sublime even though the topic was Jeff as a new dad.

If you’re appearing on late night soon, take notes.

At this point, Paul Rudd has pranked Conan O’Brien by playing the same clip from Mac and Me rather than a clip from a movie that he’s promoting.

He’s done it so many times that we’re all expecting it.

So, how can Rudd still make the same joke surprising, especially when Conan brings up the history of Rudd, Conan, and Mac and Me?

Well, just watch Rudd do it again flawlessly while promoting one of his biggest movies to date, Ant-Man.

If you’ve ever wondered how Conan O’Brien came to be the renowned talk show host that he is (besides the oft-documented story of working on The Simpsons then replacing Letterman at Late Night), then watch his “official” origin story that he presented at his second day at Comic-Con.

Also, in the same day, Conan ran into a bit of problem with a very surprising appearance by Chris Parnell apparently cosplaying as Game of Thrones author George RR Martin who had a very surprising book cover on the books the was signing.

Having already done zombie bits with a Walking Dead episode of Conan in the past, we can’t imagine what he’s going to pull on tonight’s episode with the cast of the Walking Dead.
