Conan Writers Dan Cronin and Andrés du Bouchet Are Doing a Live Q&A About the Nut Spoon Sketch

You may say, “Nut spoon? What’s a nut spoon and how can that be fodder for a sketch?” Well, comedy legend Carl Reiner is a big fan of the ‘nut spoon sketch’ that aired on last week’s Conan.

As a result, Conan staffers Dan Cronin and Andrés du Bouchet are doing a Q&A just on that sketch alone with Aaron Bleyaert moderating. No other show would do a whole conversation on camera about a single sketch and that’s part of why we love Conan.

Watch the Q&A that’s live right now here.

Conan O’Brien and Andy Richter Go Full Lucha Libre During “Conan: Made in Mexico”

While doing their special “Conan Without Borders: Made in Mexico”, Conan and Andy came up with some of the best pro wrestling personas that there ever has been.

Nick Kroll and John Mulaney, the stars of Oh, Hello and upcoming hosts of The Spirit Awards, went on Conan last night ”in the middle of having a spat”.

This just goes to show that wigs, old person make up, and fake arguments or not, Kroll and Mulaney are one of the great comedy duos of our time.

That’s part of why they have two cockroaches at a zoo named after them.

Conan will actually stepping up from his normal going to a foreign country to visit and taping a bunch of super fun remote segments when visiting Mexico.

It is without a doubt that Conan O’Brien is now the elder statesman of American late night (and maybe a goodwill ambassador for an even greater scope than that).

O’Brien details the event further here.

Conan Shares Last Trump-Obama Call for 2016 That Has Pretty Spot on Ending

December 22, 2016

Conan’s great recurring segment of “leaked calls” between President Obama and Trump got in its last round for this year.

As that’s the case, Team Coco made sure to make the ending for this edition a little extra special.

Conan’s Leaked Obama Trump Calls Are One of the Most Fun Recurring Post-Election Bits Right Now

December 14, 2016

barack obama, conan, conversations, donald trump, leaked, parody, satire, team coco

Conan O’Brien and his staff walk such a great, fine line with these recurring leaked phone calls between Obama and Trump.

The bit, born after the election out of the fact that Obama and Trump do have real life conversations, are very silly and clever, a cornerstone of Conan, but it still sticks it to Trump.

Plenty of roaring fire is being held to feet of Trump and his cronies by John Oliver, Samantha Bee, Trevor Noah, Stephen Colbert and Seth Meyers and they’ll continue to do so exquisitely over the next four years.

With that angle covered, Conan takes the approach he has always taken where he aims for the comedy, specifically the silly and absurd, before getting too political or partisan.

These recurring leaked phone calls accomplishes that and also steers clear of normalizing the situation of President Elect Trump as all of these faux conversations are about how irregular all of this is.

Also, take note how spot on the Obama impersonator is.

It’s a little bit of the best of both worlds in late night satirizing Trump.

TJ Miller Has Audience Members Dance Behind Him and Conan O’Brien During Interview

TJ Miller has found a new way to get through the serious moments in a late night talk show interview.

Taking a cue from being on set at Office Christmas Party, he really does have a dance party go on behind himself and Conan while talking about the times we’re living in right now.

Conan Without Borders: Berlin Is Now Streaming

Conan O’Brien really went for broke in all his tomfoolery throughout Berlin, making this trip one of his best yet.

Specifically, his segments in learning traditional German dance and visiting a professional dominatrix are the sort of segments that set him apart from the rest of late night with his freewheeling, carefree, unfettered silliness. Conan also made sure to highlight the refugee population in the city in an enlightening, life affirming way.

No one visits cities quite like Conan O’Brien, which is why we hope that plenty more of these travel specials will get ordered up.

Watch all of Conan Without Borders: Berlin here.

Conan Without Borders: Berlin Premieres on December 7th

Ironically, Germany, with Angela Merkel at the helm, might be a pretty great place to visit right now if you’re in the States.

Along with Flula, Conan’s visit to Berlin should show how fun that could really be.

Catch this latest Conan trip special on Wednesday, December 7th at 10PM on TBS.

Of the many subtleties in comedy, timing is one of the most important ones. It’s hard to nail down and master as it’s fluid and intuitive and different, to varying degrees, every time you tell a joke.

The great Dana Gould, per usual, performed his latest set on Conan with flawless timing and sharply written jokes that have such beautiful, unexpected turns.

Watch a master at work here.

Conan O’Brien and Elijah Wood Desperately Try to Understand Any of What’s Happening in Final Fantasy XV

November 15, 2016

Of all the games that Conan O’Brien has played on Clueless Gamer, it would seem that Final Fantasy XV has been the most befuddling. That’s saying something considering the premise of the series is that he is befuddled by all video games.

Also, there’s a fun, real life twist at the end of this episode that Conan has never had to deal with before.

Watch Conan and Elijah Wood attempt to make sense of what’s going on in the latest installment in one of gaming’s longest running franchises here.

Watch John Cleese and Eric Idle Be John Cleese and Eric Idle on Conan

November 11, 2016

Two of the members of Monty Python, John Cleese and Eric Idle, are currently on tour together and this interview makes it seem like it’d be a delightful thing to go see.

Also, they close out their segment with singing Always Look on the Bright Side of Life with the studio audience, which you might just want to join in on for how nice that sounds even though you weren’t at the taping.

Conan O’Brien on Being Thankful We Even Have Elections

November 10, 2016

conan, election 2016, team coco

Tonight’s episode of Conan, like any other televised program will be doing for the next several weeks, months, and years, put in his two cents on yesterday’s election results.

In contrast to Colbert’s sobering sign-off, Conan takes a silver-lining approach and, as is his contingency plan when things seem to take a turn for the worst in the country, shows us some great, wonderful, pure silliness.

The Conan O’Brien Remote Segments in Harlem Further Prove Conan Should Have a Travel Show

November 7, 2016

As you’re probably aware, one of the best parts of Conan O’Brien going outside of the studio is the remote segments where O’Brien really gets to let loose.

His recent trip to NYC allowed for visits to Harlem and the Alvin Ailey Dance Company and, per usual, he doesn’t disappoint in getting to peak silliness and showing why he’s one of the best in all of late night.

Nick Kroll & Stephen Colbert, Conan O’Brien & Ryan Reynolds, and Eric Andre & Mike O’Brien All End in the Same Spectacular Fashion

November 3, 2016

7 minutes in heaven, conan, eric andre, late show, make out sesh, making out, mike o'brien, nick kroll, parody, pda, ryan reynolds, stephen colbert, team coco, the notebook 2

Comedians and actors Nick Kroll, Stephen Colbert, Conan O’Brien, Ryan Reynolds, Eric Andre, and Mike O’Brien are all pretty much straight as far as we know.

Yet, something was in the air yesterday, perhaps the looming end of the century old Curse of the Billy Goat, that had all three interviews end in the same spectacular fashion.

Well, without giving too much away, Mike O’Brien’s 7 Minutes in Heaven ends how he tries to end all episodes of 7 Minutes in Heaven and Conan O’Brien reenacts the Notebook with Ryan Reynolds.

You can take a wild guess what the common link between these interviews are or just enjoy watching male friendship be taken to the next level between the likes of Colbert and Kroll.

Watch Louis CK on Hillary (with Minimal Trump Bashing), the Prospect of Dancing, and Walking Around NYC with His Fly Down

November 2, 2016

basic cable band, conan, dancing, hillary clinton, louis ck, roast, storytelling, team coco

When you see Louis CK on TV these days, expect a deeply human story born out of very simple, relatable embarrassment, an original angle on the zeitgeist, and comparisons that come out of a left field for comedic effect. Those are some of the big elements that have made him this balance between a grounded, organic comedian/storyteller/filmmaker while maintaining a bit of his absurdist flights of fancy.

He delivered on all three in his appearance on Conan last night starting of with a great case for Hillary Clinton being President sans very many digs at Trump and his supporters.

Then, he followed it up with a story about how he learned the value of honesty and openness through walking around the city with his fly down and open and then breaking down the idea of dancing, both as something that can empower and also promise someone a heartbreaking path in life.

If you use a bit of imagination, you can make this up as an episode of Louie to play out in your head.

Conan O’Brien Desperately Tries to Cry on Cue Like Bryce Dallas Howard

Conan O’Brien might have just made crying funnier than it has ever been in the history of television.

In trying to mimic Bryce Dallas Howard’s uncanny skill to cry on cue about anything, Conan tried everything he could to really cry.

See if he pulled it off here.

Conan O’Brien Will Be Returning to NYC to Tape a Week of Shows at the Apollo Theater

Conan and his posse are headed out of the studio for a whole week, this time to New York City, where Late Night with Conan O’Brien started nearly a quarter of a century ago.

However, this time, Conan will be taping at the legendary Apollo Theater in Harlem from Monday, October 31st-Thursday, November 3rd.

Here’s Conan O’Brien filling you in on the rest of the details and here’s where you can get tickets.

Norm MacDonald Delivers Another Classic Norm MacDonald-Conan Appearance

October 6, 2016

conan, interview, keke palmer, norm macdonald, team coco

Norm MacDonald has always been a great late night guest, but there’s something about when he sits a few feet away from Conan O’Brien on Conan’s late night talk show that makes for comedy gold.

In last night’s appearance, Norm didn’t disappoint in his pregnant pauses, long and winding misdirects, and top level word play that all simultaneously delight and frustrate Conan.

Norm may have not gotten to take over The Late Late Show, but at least we have these late night appearances every once in awhile.

To put the icing on the cake, Norm even snuck himself into the other guest’s segment.
