Conan O’Brien has indeed set a precedent by going to Cuba as the first American late night talk show host in over 50 years to go over there to tape the show.

This special episode “Conan In Cuba” premieres tonight and while it has the potential to be a big watershed moment in relations between the U.S. and Cuba, Conan O’Brien still sings silly songs, dances like a goofball, and all the other signature moves that we’ve come to know and love from Conan.

Having to appear on a multitude of shows to promote The Jack and Triumph Show, Triumph The Insult Comic Dog has to censor himself a little with his usual ribald burns that he’s gotten to do on Conan over the years.

conan, conan o'brien, cuba, jack paar, tbs, tonight show

Conan O’Brien is having a pretty amazing year as far in taking his show out of the studio. The fantastic remotes aside, he already has a trip to Comic-Con scheduled for later this year and now, he has traveled to Cuba since sanctions had been lifted by Obama to tape an episode.

Tonight Show host Jack Paar was the last late night talk show from the U.S. to do so all the way back in 1962 when he chatted with Fidel Castro.

We’re not sure what’s going to happen, but we’re sure Conan is going to make some comedy gold out of riding in old cars and visiting a cigar factory. We’ll find out when the episode airs Mar. 4th.

It almost seems that will all the remote segments Conan O’Brien has done over the years visiting such niche things as an American Girl Doll Store, Taco Bell HQ, a commercial audition teacher, and more that he would have made a trip with cameras to a Korean spa by now.

Well, yesterday was our lucky day as Conan did take that trip as a remote segment and brought along The Walking Dead’s Steven Yeun as well. It’s possible that Conan felt more awkward here than when he did that naked bit with Chelsea Handler.

For all the stuff in sketches, desk pieces, remotes, etc. that Conan O’Brien has had on various iterations of his talk show, one can imagine how hard it would be to Conan seem even slightly confused.

Leave it to Jeff Bridges leading the entire studio, audience, crew, Conan, and Andy into an “omming session” to achieve that aforementioned confusion.

Who care what celebrities are promoting when the Grim Reaper could be coming for someone in the Warner Bros. Studios backlot?

You might have heard by now that French satirical magazine Charlie Hebdo was attacked by terrorists who claimed 12 lives.

Jon Stewart and Conan O’Brien made sure to take time for their late night programs to express their grief over the tragedy on The Daily Show and Conan, respectively.

Also, Louis C.K., in a sign of solidarity with Charlie Hebdo, used a marker to write “Charlie Hebdo” while playing Madison Square Garden last night.

HUGE s/o to LouisCK for taking a sharpie to his tee, spreading awareness for #CharlieHebdo. Great show, great job. pic.twitter.com/kzQYohmauE

— Mike Ivers (@TheMikeIvers) January 8, 2015

With all the well wishing going around the globe, you’ll be happy to know that Charlie Hebdo’s next issue will have a million copies published as opposed to their usual 60K (via The Hollywood Reporter).

So, maybe you’ll want to get a copy when it comes out next week.

Conan O’Brien has made it his business over the years to offer a place where celebrities can divulge their “secrets” that they have been “hiding” for years.

Conan O’Brien has the almost singular ability to go into any situation, no matter how rote or mundane it is, and create absolutely hysterical moments and situations.

Nowhere is this more evident than the remote segments he has done over the years while hosting his late night talk shows. So, naturally, we loved the idea of TBS putting on an entire special of his remote segments, “Conan To Go: The Remotes Special”, this past week.

If you missed out on watching it, Conan’s Team Coco has put it up for us all to enjoy at our leisure.

Earlier this week, Conan O’Brien almost instantly sold out of his wood emojis crafted by Nick Offerman that were originally done as a bit on Conan.

So, he decided to sell 500 more with all the proceeds going to the Children’s Defense Fund Action Council. That also sold out in mere minutes.

Thus, Conan has decided to sell as many as he can via Tilt.com still at $100 a pop. Orders will be taken over the next 9 days and, as of this post being written, 1393 wooden emojis have been ordered.

Much to the surprise of everyone watching Nick Offerman make handcrafted wooden emojis on Conan recently, the wooden emojis were not available for sale.

However, enough people wanted to buy them that Conan O’Brien has partnered with Tilt.com to make a limited run of 100 of these wooden emojis and have all the proceeds go to the Children’s Defense Fund Action Council.

Conan and Andy Richter explain further here.

At a $100 a pop, they have already sold out. Perhaps, they’ll do more of this type of thing in the future and we can all get a screeching jet pack racoon like Amanda Seyfried.

December 8, 2014

We’re not absolutely sure if this delightfully bizarre sketch on Conan was actually a plug for PayPal or not, but whether it is or isn’t, it’s still pretty damn funny and has gotten us thinking about PayPal. That’s how ads are supposed to work, right?

Anyways, watch this sketch that starts off with Conan getting his sweater stolen…

Jason Bateman is always a good late night guest with his stories, quips, reactions, etc. His panel interview from Conan this week is a perfect example.

If you live in Southern California, you probably have the ever present fear of a big earthquake looming in your psyche. While there has been an app that could possibly detect and warn you of an earthquake, it could only supposedly give you a 10-second warning.

What can you do with that 10 seconds?

Don’t answer or think about it. Let Conan O’Brien and company do that for you because their answer is probably way more entertaining yours.

Finally, Conan O’Brien’s Remote Segments Are Getting Their Own Primetime Special

November 20, 2014

(via The Hollywood Reporter)

Almost a year ago, we wrote a piece about how Conan O’Brien’s remote segments throughout his tenure as a late night host are some of the funniest things to be done on TV and there should be an entire show dedicated to just that. That includes Conan visiting places around the world, dealing with Jordan Schlansky, Clueless Gamer, and more.

Well, it just so turns out that we spoke something into the ether (along with millions of other people most likely) and TBS will air an entire primetime special on Thurs. Dec. 18th at 10PM of the best of these remotes.

We don’t believe in the power of attraction necessarily, but this special happening doesn’t help our case.

November 20, 2014

conan, conan o'brien, jimmy pardo

Whenever Jimmy Pardo is on anything, it’s worth watching, listening to, etc. However, it’s especially worth investing time when Jimmy goes from warming up the crowd at Conan to sitting down with his boss Conan O’Brien on camera and have a chat.

This time around, Conan and Pardo hash out Jimmy joining Twitter and the aftermath of all of that.
