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.
According to this latest edition of Bill Tull’s budget tips, he writes these tips himself.
In preparation for Conan O’Brien’s trip to Comic-Con, propmaster Bill Tull opted to make a new edition of his budget tips, this time focusing on cosplay.
Due to time restraints, the segment didn’t make air. Thankfully, Tull “fought” to have them shown on air in last night’s episode.
We’re fully expecting to see these cosplay tips be put into practice very soon.
7PM PST The Chris Gethard Show at Comic-Con on Fusion
10PM 7 Days in Hell on HBO
11PM Conan at Comic-Con on TBS (final day)
12:30AM Bridget Everett’s “Gynecological Wonder” 12:30AM on Comedy Central
If you’re not at Comic-Con and have no plans, just look above and we’re pretty sure, with cable and HBO access, that you now have plans.
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.
Conan O’Brien kicked off his week at Comic-Con appropriately with taking Mad Max: Fury Road’s Doof Wagon down from LA to San Diego.
On top of that, he found “secret” audition tapes for the new Wolverine that will soon replace Hugh Jackman which includes Hannibal Buress, Patton Oswalt, Larry King, and more.
Even more impressive than that, O’Brien passed a “Comic-Con Citizenship Test” proctored by none other than the Nerdist himself, Chris Hardwick.
This was all just Conan’s first day at Comic-Con and we can only imagine the possibilities of what’s to come. Let’s hope for special editions of Clueless Gamer and a walk from Triumph the Insult Comic Dog on the Comic-Con floor.
Announced over a year ago, Conan: Live From Comic-Con finally begins tonight and will run through to a never before seen Saturday episode.
So, either tune in to TBS tonight through Sat. at 11PM to catch what should be a damn fun week of Conan or, if you happen to be at Comic-Con, look for a red pompadour stalking above a sea of cosplayers to see what hijinks Conan O’Brien and Team Coco are up to.
Why? with Hannibal Buress premieres this week and just a few days ago, Hannibal chatted with Conan O’Brien about what fans, viewers, etc. have to look forward to with his new show as punctuated by his “shark week” promo.
Look forward to all of this, as we are, on the series premiere this Wed. Jul. 8th at 10:30PM on Comedy Central.
John Roy took the stage at Conan for a great set in 2012 with a dark hoodie and a red t-shirt.
Three years later, he did pretty much the same thing with what looks to be the same hoodie and t-shirt combo and another great set. Maybe he’ll make it a tradition?
Watch this latest and greatest set from John Roy here.
Conan O’Brien’s latest remote segment follows him crashing, with permission, a girls’ night out comprised of his female staff to go watch Magic Mike XXL at midnight.
In case you’re already wondering, O’Brien did try some “Magic Mike” like dance moves to a variety of reactions.
Watch it all happen here.
Colin Quinn’s has observed both of America’s biggest metropolises for decades and has seen improvement, though, at the expense of the stereotypes they kind of became for.
Luckily, as Colin mentions during this interview on Conan, Boston remains Boston through and through.
Watch his explanation here.
Mark Normand has a great track record of doing stand-up on Conan. He marked his third appearance last night and, like his debut set, cruised down a row of applause breaks with jokes on gender roles, bathroom attendants, racism, and modes of transportation all nicely tied together.
Watch his set here.
Educational drug program in school would be more effective if they were like this.
Karen Kilgariff and Drennon Davis have been two of our favorites for some time on their own, but they’ve recently joined their brilliant musical comedy stylings together and make hilarious and wondrous music together.
Now, the whole country got to see what we’ve been lucky to see for the last few months when they played an anthem for getting too high on Conan.
Conan takes Bryce Dallas Howard showing off her amazing talent to the next level as a bit by juxtaposing it next to him being able to not run out of things to say about Home Depot.
Not that you were thinking this or that anyone is saying this can’t be done, but a woman crying can be funny.
Rather than rising temperatures leaving less rainfall, Marc Maron might be on to something else that is behind the severe droughts in California that we all might be all a little ashamed to admit.
He confided his “discovery” to us all on Conan this week.
Perhaps, after, we can all be “masters of our domain” and conserve all the water we need here in California.
Jen Kirkman stopped by Conan this week and chatted about her latest stand-up special on Netflix, I’m Gonna Die Alone (And I Feel Fine), and what she really is getting at about dying alone.
Watch a clip from the interview here, then watch her special here.
Conan’s Andrés du Bouchet dons some intimidating glasses and casts his judgment based on seemingly nothing on a perfect send-up of any and every reality competition show’s final judgment/decision segment.
Watch Arbitrary Judgment Lineup here.
Gary Gulman just gave another fantastic performance with his latest set on Conan and just from detailing an attempt at role-playing between him and his girlfriend.
As Gary is a performer, he is wholly committed to the role, no matter how far it goes, even if it’s a complex, nuanced sex fantasy.
Glad to see that the most veteran late night talk show host is still up to his tomfoolery.
The latest fun, interactive, experimental stunt that Team Coco is attempting to pull off is having someone stay in the rafters of the Conan set in the “Night at The Conan Studio” contest on airbnb.
There’s sure to be all sorts of hijinks that will make for plenty of great segments. You’ll even get to watch a whole taping of Conan from the literal bird’s eye view.
Enter here before Jun. 1st.
Even though sanctions have been lifted, there are some Cuban bans on U.S. TV that still have yet to be done away with.
Two months ago, Conan O’Brien beat everyone in television to doing the first big time American TV appearance in Cuba in decades. It was a landmark moment for U.S.-Cuba relations as well as a highly anticipated fantastic hour of television.
With that being said, the Cuban people, probably many of whom were featured in the Conan in Cuba episode, couldn’t legally watch any of Conan’s visit as watching many American TV programs are highly frowned upon by the Cuban government.
We say “frowned upon” because many street vendors seem to get away with openly selling bootlegged DVDs of various American TV series, which coincidentally also includes Conan in Cuba.
So, watch Cuban folks buy bootlegs of Conan in Cuba in Cuba here.
After being one of the most watch stand-ups on Conan, Jay Larson has his first sit down with Conan O’Brien to cooly shoot the breeze.
While chatting they cover Jay’s new exploits as a dad, crushing it right out of the gate and how Boston is, after all these years, still kind of the same.
Really, after this, we’re pretty confident that Jay might be one of the chillest dads of all time.
As Jenny Zigrino just moved here, she definitely knows how to make an entrance with going on Conan.
She performed quite the set on Conan this week, which also counts as her first stand-up performance on a late night talk show. Just in case you didn’t know, there was still other things going on in the late night realm besides Letterman’s send-off.
With Conan O’Brien personally conducting the performance reviews, how well do you think Associate Producer Jordan Schlansky fared?
Conan donned a pair of intimidating glasses and the title of CEO of Conaco to give his staff a performance review.
As working at Conan isn’t like most jobs, these performance reviews were a little different from the norm (i.e. preparedness to save O’Brien in the event of an emergency). Obviously, O’Brien pays a visit to Jordan Schlansky to see what his worth to Conaco is.
On top of all of that, Andy Richter’s performance review is even more touchy than the rest and also pretty priceless.
The latest stand-up performance on Conan comes from Jerry Rocha who defies your expectations as someone who is Mexican, but kind of doesn’t look the stereotypical part.

Whether they read this thing we wrote awhile back, we’re thrilled to hear that Conan is going to roam more “in the wild” so to speak in 2016.
Probably one of the best parts of this era of Conan O’Brien’s late night talk show career is when he steps away from the desk and couch and goes out into the world. For years, O’Brien has made situations that wouldn’t seem to have any inherent comedy in them like delivering Chinese food, going into doll store, or doing commercial auditions, and make something absolutely hysterical. It’s comedy alchemy making comedy gold from seemingly nothing.
Conan’s trip to Cuba is proof positive of how doing an entire show of remotes would work quite well.
So, ahead of what is sure to be a memorable week at Comic-Con for Conan and company next month, we all have way more remote segments to look forward to from Conan in the form of six week-long trips starting next year.
Hopefully, this means more trips to breweries, distilleries, etc. where Conan tries to shorten the guided tour to get to drinking.
One of the best observational comics around today Andy Sandford got to notch in a late night set on Conan this week.
Watch his succinct, perfectly worded takes on serial killers, Netflix, and other things that are obsessions of the comedy lifestyle here.
