Thank Goodness, Conan O’Brien Is Coming Back to TV Soon with “Conan O’Brien Must Go”

May 17, 2023

Conan O’Brien signed off from late night more than a few years ago at this point and, truly, it hasn’t really been the same ever since. The once elder statesman of late night also happened to be on the forefront of redefining what could be done with the late night format with his remotes, traveling abroad, and even playing videos games while not having a clue of what the hell was going on.

Since his hosting duties ended, Conan has amassed a podcast empire under the Team Coco banner, which has been amazing, but it’s not quite the same as having Conan O’Brien out in the field bringing joy to millions with his signature antics.

Thankfully, a rumored travel show at HBO is now coming to fruition as shown by the teaser for the Max Original, Conan O’Brien Must Go, where Conan travels to places all over the globe where his fans reside. That’ll include Noway, Thailand, and, from the looks of the teaser, somewhere in the UK. It’s a more personal, very likely less censored version of Conan Without Borders and we couldn’t be more excited for its arrival.

It shouldn’t come as a surprise that Conan is more than a natural at this and is probably more deserving of a travel show than the litany of other famous people who have done it over the last few years.

Get your first look at Conan O’Brien Must Go here, then look for it on HBO Max/Max soon (perhaps, pending the strike ending?)

Season 2 Trailer of Hidden America with Jonah Ray Includes a Not So Happy Anthony Bourdain

Hidden America with Jonah Ray is indeed a fake travel show that expertly skewers the whole TV genre that explores the culture of traveling here and abroad. The upcoming season has excited for more sharp, nuanced parodies of what real travel shows done in real cities with guests Joel Hodgson, Yvette Nicole Brown, Janet Varney and Jorge Garcia.

Also, in blurring the lines between the parody and real world, the one and only Anthony Bourdain of Parts Unknown fame, and a particularly incensed one at that, makes what seems to be a “fun” cameo on this new season of Hidden America.

See all of this and more in the season 2 trailer, then look for the season to start streaming on Seeso on Thursday, May 4th.

Here’s a Trailer for Jonah Ray’s Mock Travel Show “Hidden America”

Get ready for Jonah Ray to show you a side of America that you’ve never seen before on his new series on Seeso, Hidden America. 

Why haven’t you seen it before? 

No one has really seen it before because it exists in an alternate universe fabricated to parody all those travel shows that have become so ubiquitous on cable TV. 

Well, there is a bit of truth amidst all the tomfoolery as you’ll see in the trailer.

Look for episodes to start streaming on June 2nd on Seeso.

The vetting process for where Conan O’Brien takes Conan next is pretty great. A very creative, sincere letter plus foreign snacks seem to do the trick.

On top of how great that is, O’Brien is continuing to go where no American late night talk show goes as South Korea is his next destination.

Watch the announcement here.

Conan Aims To Do Many More Trip Shows and Wants To Be the ‘Anthony Bourdain of Comedy’

After his latest trip abroad along with his show, Conan O’Brien fielded questions from his studio audience, which largely focused on where he was going next.

From the looks of it, Conan enjoys stepping away from the desk and going across the globe as much as we do and aims to do these special travel episodes of Conan far into the foreseeable future.

Honestly, the idea of an Anthony Bourdain of comedy is good enough for a spin off as far as we’re concerned, if Conan can fit it into his schedule.

NYC based sketch group Onassis have indeed, if we may say so ourselves, found the best travel show host ever. Of course, in this age of YouTube, being the best travel show host ever has little to do with actually finding the best hidden gems in any given locale.

Give it a watch here to see what exactly we’re talking about.

At some point recently, Kyle Kinane was pitching a show where he traveled across this great land of ours and finding all the fascinating folks/possibly misrepresented subcultures that populate it. That show was “Kyle Kinane’s Going Nowhere”, which, unfortunately didn’t get picked up.

Watch the pilot presentation for yourself where Kinane is dressed up in BDSM wear, goes to meet a wizard, and hope this gets made into a show someplace soon.
