Jena Friedman Hits the Mark on America’s True Crime Obsession on Conan

September 18, 2019

conan, jena friedman, stand up comedy, team coco, true crime

That always-bandied-about thrill that stand-up comedy supposedly can provide by bringing light to the dark topics, even when it acts like a bit of twisted fun house mirror that you’re looking into is very hard to achieve (making it all the more magical when a comedian does so while also being, of course, very funny).

When it comes to the subject of “pushing boundaries” and “taking risks” in the art form of stand up comedy, one should look to Jena Friedman to see how that can be pulled off.

It’s kind of her thing.

We’d even go so far as to say that Jena’s stand-up, always unafraid to sneak into dark territories, showcases, very clearly, how artful stand-up can be.

Just see for yourself in Jena Friedman’s latest set all about the American obsession with true crime on Conan.

comedy tour, conan o'brien, stand up comedy, team coco

All in one fell swoop from Thurs. Oct. 3rd-Sat. Oct. 5th, Team Coco will be putting their live comedy stamp from ATL to LA and Minneapolis all the way down to Austin.

They’ll be having the fantastic comedic stylings Ron Funches, Kyle Kinane, Christina P., Roy Wood Jr., Laurie Kilmartin, and many more performing at several comedy clubs across the country all under the Team Coco House umbrella.

As Conan O’Brien himself has remarked, “This is exactly like ‘Oceans’ 11,’ only instead of robbing multiple casinos we are making people laugh in multiple comedy clubs. So, it’s really nothing like ‘Oceans’ 11’”

Conan Without Borders: Greenland Premieres Tonight

September 3, 2019

conan without borders, greenpoint, team coco

Conan O’Brien’s excursions as, perhaps, America’s best and, certainly, funniest ambassador have been some of Conan’s best work and make him continue to stand out in an increasingly crowded late night field.

Conan Without Borders: Greenland is no exception and O’Brien even raises the bar with this latest travel special. He does so by satirically showing how very, very, very stupid it is to go around Greenland to tell them that they’re going to be part of America via being purchased by Trump. It might be Conan’s most pointed Conan Without Borders and, thus, he gets some of the best reactions and hysterical moments from Greenland’s very gracious, upstanding people.

So, watch Conan Without Borders: Greenland at 10PM on TBS tonight (or tomorrow on TeamCoco.com)

Conan O’Brien Announces Trip to Greenland

August 20, 2019

conan, conan o'brien, conan without borders, greenland, tbs, team coco

So, the latest installment of Conan Without Borders will be in Greenland as a satirical response to Trump’s idiotic interest in buying Greenland (that’s definitely a distraction for all the other BS he’s pulling).

Conan O’Brien often jokes that he is the “elder statesman of late night”, but, truly, he is one great American and a hell of a goodwill ambassador. In fact, such a reputation makes him a better candidate for POTUS than some of the lesser known candidates currently running, though we’re sure that he’d prefer making fun of someone in the Oval Office rather than sitting at the desk within it.

In any case, Conan’s got another ingenious travel special coming up as you can see in his announcement here.

Super Creepy Clown Butterscotch Again Attempts to Defend the Image of Clowns Against “It Chapter Two”

Glad to see that Conan’s Andrés du Bouchet got to reprise his spot on creepy Butterscotch clown character for the upcoming release of the It Chapter Two sequel and really went all out for it (especially for Conan being at Comic-Con this week).

Most of all, you have to appreciate how Team Coco got away with the ending of this sketch. See it all for yourself here.

Peacock has already been off-to-the-races in terms of putting on a great weekly Thursday stand-up show in the heart of Atwater Village.

This Thursday is very special as you can see that the writers of Conan are assembling on to one show WITH Conan sidekick and announcer, the one and only Andy Richter hosting. Did we mention that it’s only a $5 suggested donation to attend? OK, we mentioned it now. So, make a reminder on your phone for #TeamPeacock (or PeaCoco?) at Club Tee Gee this Thurs. 6/27.

Watch Rhys Nicholson’s American Late Night Debut on Conan

conan, rhys nicholson, stand up comedy, team coco

Aussie comedian Rhys Nicholson brings all his great verve, zest, and flair in his American late night debut on Conan. Nicholson’s writing is so sharp and delivery so quick that stopping for an applause break is almost jarring.

Please enjoy his set from last night here

Over 350 Conan Remotes Are Now Available to Binge Watch

conan o'brien, team coco

As they announced last week, Team Coco has put up over 350 remote segments from the 25 years that Conan O’Brien has had tenure in late night.

So, that includes Conan picking apples with Mr. T, Jack McBrayer visiting Weiner’s Circle with Triumph the Insult Comic Dog, an entire Jordan Schlansky section starting with this visit to Lucasfilm, Conan selling his Ford Taurus, Conan taking an auditioning workshop, Conan going to bartending school, searching for viewers in Houston, going to Ireland, and oh so much more that will eat your week/month/etc.

Fall down the rabbit hole of Conan remotes here.

Team Coco Announces That Conan Archive to Start Off with Collection of Conan’s Legendary Remote Segments with This Wonderfully Absurd Sketch

conan, conan o'brien, conan25, late night with conan o'brien, remote segments, team coco

Throughout the Conan O’Brien canon, some of his best moments will be when O’Brien stepped outside the studio and let his zaniness (and flailing arms and legs) loose.

From old timey baseball to goofing off across the planet to hanging with Hunter S. Thompson to wreaking havoc at Comic-Con to taking a commercial audition lessons, this portion (and it’s not even the whole archive of Conan yet) will undoubtedly take up the rest of your 2019.

To announce this, Team Coco and Conan did not disappoint and made the perfect sketch for the occasion. Please enjoy.

Here Is Brody Stevens’ Set on Conan

brody stevens, conan, funny people, judd apatow, late night, stand up, team coco

Here Is Brody Stevens’ Set on Conan

Brody Stevens should have gotten to do a lot more things for how purely funny he is. In the last several days, you might have scoured the Internet to watch Brody do his thing, which is what we all should have been doing more of when he was around, and saw something like his set on The Meltdown with Jonah and Kumail.

For us, we immediately wanted to rewatch and share his set from 2012 on Conan.

It’s special for a few reasons:

1) It is one of his first big time stand-up performances on TV
2) It is one of his first late night spots
3) Most importantly, it’s one of the first times that a national audience got to see Brody be Brody, i.e. the in-the-moment-performance-art-jock that people knew and loved (and thankfully JP, Conan, and Team Coco let that happen in this set).

We weren’t able to find the set outside of the context of Enjoy It!, but we asked the good folks at Team Coco about it and they now have the set for you to watch and enjoy right here.

Oh, you might notice that he indeed jokes about being cut out of Judd Apatow’s Funny People in this set. Judd Apatow found the footage of Brody in Funny People and actually brought everything full circle by showing it on Conan this week.

Inside Conan: An Important Hollywood Podcast Gives a Writers Perspective on Conan (as Well as Attempting to Find Out What Jordan Schlansky Really Does)

conan podcast, earwolf, inside conan, jessie, mike sweeney, podcast, team coco

Team Coco has really picked up their game in 2019. Already, there’s a streamlined version of the show, Conan has started an already successful podcast with Conan O’Brien Needs a Friend, and now, they’re launching another new podcast, Inside Conan: An Important Hollywood Podcast, helmed by veteran Conan writers Mike Sweeney and Jessie Gaskell.

For those of you that want to nerd out about how the inner machinations of the show’s shenanigans really work, Sweeney and Gaskell not only give you gossip from backstage, but talk about sketches (which happen to be some of the best on TV), both aired and cut, as well as interview other Conan staffers about making the long running tomfoolery at Conan really work.

Also, they will be conducting an ongoing investigation as to what the infamous Associate Producer Jordan Schlansky actually does at the show.

Pretty swell, huh? Sounds to us like you should subscribe and get on board early for this one. Do so here.

Gary Gulman Makes a Case That He Would Have Been a Great Millennial

February 1, 2019

conan, gary gulman, late night, millennial, stand up, team coco

As we said yesterday when sharing his #GulmanTip writing advice, Gary Gulman is a master craftsman when it comes to stand-up comedy.

Last night, he got to back up our claim with his set on Conan, which is, in so many ways, elegant and funny. In regards to Gary’s idea that he’d make a good millennial, we would note that his vocabulary is much more expansive than your average millennial, but we think that’s absolutely fine.

Enjoy the set here.

Conan O’Brien Takes a Tour of the Samuel Adams Brewery

January 31, 2019

boston, brewery, conan remote, sam adams, team coco, tour

In case you didn’t know, one of the best parts of Conan O’Brien’s late night tenure is his remote segments, especially when it comes to take tours of places that produce some sort of alcohol. In this particular tour, you’ll get to enjoy Conan doing a beer version of a “suicide soda”. It’s magnificent.

Glad to see that this is still in tact at the new streamlined Conan.

Please enjoy this latest and greatest Conan remote here.

Conan O’Brien Takes Noted Italian Food Expert Jordan Schlansky to Olive Garden

January 24, 2019

conan, jordan schlansky, olive garden, team coco

For those that have been following ongoing saga of Conan O’Brien and Jordan Schlansky, you might remember that this whole thing started from Conan taking Jordan out to dinner at a nice Italian restaurant several years ago. Immediately, Conan discovered their magical dynamic of Jordan sounding and looking like a somewhat realistic human android and Conan testing his patience to the nth degree and the rest is Team Coco history.

Their latest trip together brings all of it full circle as Conan forces dinner on Jordan at the Olive Garden, one of the last places on earth that Jordan would probably ever eat.

Please enjoy it here.

The New, 1/2 Hour Conan Premieres Tonight

January 22, 2019

conan, tbs, team coco

Conan O’Brien and company is setting himself apart tonight from the late night pack and making late night history by going to a half-hour format and focusing more on comedy (as well as dropping his renowned house band).

It’s the sort of shake-up that late night really needs and we sincerely can’t wait to see what he has up his sleeve (which might even be a denim or leather jacket rather than his very fine suit that he’s been wearing for decades).

Tune in to the new Conan at 11PM on TBS tonight.

Conan O’Brien and Team Coco Get Their Own Proprietary Color at Pantone “Team Coco Orange”

January 21, 2019

conan o'brien, orange, pantone, team coco

Apparently, this is the first color that has ever been made for a comedian and his brand over at Pantone, the renowned company for colors.

See for yourself here.

Not only are Conan O’Brien, Team Coco, and TBS making history by streamlining Conan to a half-hour and making it more comedy focused, but they’ll have an official color, and a very fun one to boot, to go with it. Pretty sure the rest of late night would have some dark, moody color as their official color. The contrast between orange and what would likely be indigo definitely reflects the difference in tone between Conan and his other late night counterparts.

By the way, the new, revamped, leaner Conan premieres tomorrow at 11PM on TBS with Tom Hanks as the guest.

Conan in Japan Premieres Tonight

Conan in Japan Premieres Tonight

Just a friendly neighborhood reminder, especially if you’ve been missing Conan from your TV for awhile, that his special visit to Japan will air tonight on TBS at 10PM.

In it, you’ll also get to find out what the hell happened when he confronted the mayor of Conantown in addition to Conan’s normal hijinks when goes to foreign lands (that is probably some of the better PR that the U.S can get abroad right now).

Conan O’Brien Needs a Friend to Premiere on November 19th

November 8, 2018

conan o'brien, earwolf, podcast, team coco

Conan O’Brien Needs a Friend to Premiere on November 19th

Conan will indeed be attempting friendship with the likes of Will Ferrell, Nick Offerman and Megan Mullally, Wanda Sykes, Marc Maron, Bill Burr, Kristen Bell, Dax Shepherd via a podcast and his assistant Sona Movsesian will be tagging along as well to provide perspective about making friends via a professional produced and distributed podcast.

In any case, you should subscribe if you haven’t already, especially since that nice, new ½ hour version of his show isn’t coming until January.

Please Enjoy Kyle Kinane’s Latest Conan Appearance

There’s no need for any really savvy explanation here. Kyle Kinane is an everlasting comedy peach that sweet on so many levels. Thus, you should watch whatever Kyle does whenever he does it like his panel interview on Conan last night.

We won’t take up anymore time with describing. Just enjoy Kyle’s take on ghosts and old Kyles.

Conan O’Brien Will Be Going on Tour Again with His Favorite Comedians (and Also Giving Investment Tips?)

September 26, 2018

comedy tour, conan, conan o'brien, investment tips, team coco

The last time Conan O’Brien went on a live tour was almost a decade ago (and right before he moved to TBS). Such a different and far off time, right?

Anyhow, Conan is going out on tour yet again all across country along with Rory Scovel, Ron Funches, Deon Cole, Laurie Kilmartin, Marina Franklin, Taylor Tomlinson, Moses Storm, Flula Borg, and more as well as, per the tour’s name, giving out hot stock tips, apparently.

Conan breaking down the stock market alone is a good enough reason to get tickets, which go on sale this Friday, Sept. 28th, on this 18 city tour that goes from Nov. 2nd-Dec. 15th. You can snag them later this week at: http://teamcoco.com/tour

Team Coco Releases First of Over 4000 Episodes of Conan O’Brien’s Talk Shows from 25 Years Ago

September 14, 2018

conan o'brien, late night archive, team coco, tv history

A quarter century ago, some of the fanciest hair on the one of the silliest people, Conan O’Brien, began what would be a legendary career (and is still in the making) of hosting late night talk shows.

To mark this milestone in comedy, television, and entertainment history, Team Coco will soon be having a Late Night Archive in which you can go through the aforementioned 4000+ episodes of Conan including (Late Night, The Tonight Show). We’re sure Gen Z will have a lot of fun discovering Fed Ex Pope, Conan spinning his wedding ring on his desk, and the early days of Conan roaming outside the studio.

For now, you can watch the very first episode on YouTube for your convenience and impatiently have to wait for the thousands of other eps. in Jan. 2019.

Conan O’Brien Is Going to Conan Town, Japan to “Settle” a “Copyright Infringement Issue”

August 29, 2018

conan in japan, conan town, team coco

If you thought that legendary American late night talk show host Conan O’Brien looking like the Finnish president several years ago was weird, you should take a few minutes to follow the twists and turns of Conan dealing with a new lookalike and Japan.

It’s best if we leave the explaining to Conan, but we will say that this does mean that we all will be getting another international Conan remote very soon, which is good news for us all.

Tig Notaro, Nicole Byer, Maria Bamford, Wanda Sykes, Jodie Foster, Hilary Swank, Kristen Schaal, and More “Audition” for Batgirl on Conan

Team Coco is sure having a bunch fun down in San Diego right now doing their annual visit to Comic-Con.

Faux auditions is always a solid go-to bit on late night, but pretty much everyone in this nails it.

Andrés du Bouchet’s Boliviguay Apparently Has a Bigger Comic-Con Than SDCC

andres du bouchet, boliviguay, comic con, conan, team coco

One of our favorite Andrés du Bouchet characters on Conan makes another appearance just to say that the “very real” country of Boliviguay not only has their own Comic-Con, but one that rivals the biggest one in the world, the San Diego Comic-Con (AKA THE Comic-Con).

Watch and enjoy every little detail here. You might have to watch it repeatedly to savor all of it.
