Chelsea Peretti got to sit down with Conan this week and revealed that she had encountered an Internet troll face to face, found that you can get the voice of her Brooklyn Nine Nine co-star, Terry Crews, on the Waze app, as well giving Conan and the rest of us a nice crash course in emoji vocabulary.

We’re guessing the underlying issue with that specific Internet troll is that she’s probably upset because she couldn’t get the Terry Crews voice on her Waze.

While on Conan last night, Hannibal Buress revealed the details, well, some details about a book deal that he got somewhat recently. Apparently, he needs a little inspiration to get the book off the ground.

Recently, Jim Jefferies had the luck of dropping into the Hollywood Improv while Paul McCartney was in the audience. Knowing that, Jefferies put forth his A-game and was surprised at the results as he recounts on Conan.

After telling this story, he balanced out the nice twist in that story with a much darker twist on the story of his sole acting gig in a porno that he was not at all having sex in.

John Hodgman spent so many of his efforts trying to “prepare” for us for an apocalypse that, alas, never came to pass. He revealed that he has come to terms with this while on Conan in addition to start smoking weed.

It’s always a delight when Mel Brooks is anywhere on TV, but he’s especially a fun watch when he’s on late night. Brooks has so many amazing, hilarious stories that he could just keep telling them every night and seemingly never run out.

Such is the case with his appearance on Conan last night with the one time he filled in for Joan Rivers on her late night talk show and the prank he pulled when leaving his handprints in cement at the famous Chinese Theater in Hollywood.

For the last several weeks, many of all of our favorite late night programming has taken their summer vacations and we’ve all been left with reruns at 1 in the morning.

Now that Summer’s over, it’s all back to work for all of us, which includes brand new episodes of Letterman, Kimmel, Fallon, Conan, Meyers, The Daily Show, “@midnight”, Colbert, and Ferguson (that’s Craig Ferguson mind you, not Ferguson, MO).

For tonight, you should especially watch Stephen Colbert and Amy Sedaris on Late Night with Seth Meyers (NBC 12:35AM) and Brett Gelman and Brooks Wheelan on Conan (TBS 11PM)

If you’ve followed Team Coco online, you’ve probably gotten a chance to see some rehearsal footage where Conan O’Brien and company really play fast and loose. It’s a whole bunch of fun seeing Conan at the helm, wearing his guitar rather than a tailored suit.

Well, the entire episode of Conan tonight will be all cut together from that very same crazy rehearsal footage to make a “scrapisode”. It’s yet another first by Conan O’Brien that should be pretty great like his stop motion animation episode or Occupy Conan.

Check it out tonight at TBS 11PM.

Aubrey Plaza has been, for a long time, someone fascinating to watch on late night talk shows for her blurring of kidding and being serious all while seeming embarrassed, but in an endearing way.

Of course, that all comes into play when she chatted with Conan about a bachelorette party she had to organize along with all of the stereotypical bachelorette party paraphernalia she had to order.

With the tragic passing of Robin Williams this week, the world of late night would feel remiss if they didn’t collectively tip their hats to Williams.

Conan O’Brien, Jimmy Fallon, and Seth Meyers all put together a tribute on their respective shows featuring memorable past appearances of Williams. If you’re wondering why Letterman, Kimmel, The Daily Show, etc. aren’t doing the same, they’re simply not taping new episodes this week.

Will Arnett is a man of many talents, one of which you might know is his extensive voiceover work. In fact, Arnett is in such high demand for his voice that he had to take time from his Conan interview last night to record a few voiceover jobs.

Conan and Team Coco Making Its Way Finally to the UK

(via BBC)

Unlike in Sweden where Conan O’Brien has been hailed a hero for his comedic stylings and bearing a resemblance to a prime minister of the country, Conan, along with a lot of late night talk shows here in the U.S., haven’t made a big splash in the UK.

Fortunately, that’s all about to change as episodes of Conan on TBS will now be broadcast in the UK via TruTV.

This makes us wonder if folks across the pond are even aware of Conan’s String Dance, the Masturbating Bear, or Triumph the Insult Comic Dog. If not, they’re in for a real treat.
