Conan Has a Nemesis In His Cardboard Audience at Largo
September 17, 2020
News
conan, conan o'brien, team coco

Late night is still experimenting with how to account for the fact that they can’t have a live audience like they used to. Most are still going without any sort of crowd even though they’re returning to their stage. Bill Maher is having limited, distanced audience.

Always one for a bit when there’s even the slightest chance for one, Conan O’Brien has opted to pack Largo, where he has been taping for weeks now, with cardboard cut outs of ardent Team Coco fans. Of course, Conan made sure, with complete control over how this audience could look, made sure to have one cut out of a very clearly dissatisfied person in the crowd.

Even during a pandemic, Conan’s brand of sly daftness can’t be held down. Please enjoy here and brighten your day a bit.

Conan Will Start Taping Episodes at Largo at the Coronet Theatre (Though with No Audience and Remote Guests)
July 2, 2020
News
conan, conan o'brien, largo at the coronet theatre, tbs

It has been months since late night hosts have taped an episode of their show from an actual stage. Kimmel, Colbert, and Meyers have done their best to gussy up their homes and Samantha Bee has just been doing her show from the woods. John Oliver is utilizing a giant blank white wall in his home and Hasan Minhaj has been going entirely with a virtual background, which isn’t too far from an actual episode of Patriot Act.

However, Conan O’Brien is going to break new ground yet again (he was pretty on the ball about doing bits while sheltered at home during the start of quarantine) as he will begin taping episodes of Conan for TBS from the long standing, revered comedy and music venue, Largo at the Coronet Theatre. They’ll be maintaining all safety protocol along government and industry regulations along with not having a live audience and bringing in guests for interviews remotely over Zoom. Limited crew and staff will be present.

This is a very noteworthy move as Conan will not only be back on stage once again to do Conan, but this will undoubtedly keep Largo’s doors open since they’ve had to go dark this entire time during lockdown with no idea (especially with the re-closing of dine-in restaurants in LA county) of when they would get to reopen and do so safely.

Also, in addition to Conan taping at Largo, the monthly Team Coco show, Moses Storm & Friends will do a Twitch live-stream at The Coronet as well starting July 9th. Again, there will be no audience present, but you will get to see live comedy from one of the most rustic looking auditorium in all of Los Angeles.

Our Favorite Harvard Alumnus Conan O’Brien Gives Commencement Speech for Harvard Class of 2020
May 29, 2020
News
class of 2020, conan o'brien, harvard

Of the many distinguished folks that have graduated from Harvard University, Conan O’Brien stands tall, literally and figuratively, as one of Harvard’s best alumni. The late night legend was President of the Harvard Lampoon while he attended, a very obvious foreshadowing of where he was headed in the future.

So, with all of this in mind with what is undoubtedly the strangest year to graduate from anything, Harvard tapped O’Brien to put together a commencement speech, which was equal parts ridiculous, heartfelt, and inspiring. It’s very clear that Conan got to pretty much do whatever he wanted with his allotted time and it was clearly all for the best.

Watch Conan O’Brien’s Harvard 2020 Commencement Speech here.

Conan O’Brien Finds a Way to Still Attempt to Get Under Jordan Schlansky’s Skin While in Quarantine

Welp, all you need to truly know here is that the hysterically manipulative relationship between Conan O’Brien and human-that-might-fail-the-Turing-Test Jordan Schlansky is exactly the same, global pandemic be damned.

Please enjoy the latest installment of Jordan remaining the composure of automaton as Conan gets as devilishly mischievous as he has ever been.

Conan To Return March 30th (with a Quarantine Friendly Version)
March 19, 2020
News
conan o'brien, quarantine, tbs, team coco

You probably have already seen that Conan O’Brien has been providing us with the sort of bits and tomfoolery that made him famous from the comfort and CDC recommended location of his own home. Leave it to the likes of Conan O’Brien to keep the silliness alive during these anxious times of this COVID-19 pandemic.

Other late night hosts have been also “broadcasting” from home, but the ever clever O’Brien has devised a way to do his show by shooting on an iPhone and utilizing video chat to interview guests.

Thus, Conan, will continue to air in this stripped down version (that’s oddly both lo-fi and high-tech) on TBS starting Mon. Mar. 30th at his normal air time of 11PM ET/PT. Technically, that makes Conan entirely a remote segment, which is where O’Brien has truly thrived in the last few years.

We can’t wait to see Conan do what he does best, make TV history, and inadvertently be a great ad for the iPhone’s video capabilities.

It’s pretty clear that Conan O’Brien and Sona Movsesian will be one of the great late night duos as their dynamic as boss and assistant is just naturally so very, very funny. That’s quite a feat considering that Conan already has an all-time great late night duo between him and Andy Richter.

This actual meeting with a TBS Human Resources representative is just classic. Please enjoy this Team Coco gift to us all here.

Well, no matter the format, Stephen Colbert and Conan O’Brien in a room together is magic. 

It was magical on Colbert’s episode of Conan O’Brien Needs a Friend and it was magical once more this past week when O’Brien took over Colbert’s desk to interview him.

As the world is on the precipice of Apple TV+, HBO is taking a big swing for their own streaming service, HBO Max, with regards to their comedy programming.

Just today, they made this flurry of announcements.

Conan O’Brien’s Team Coco will be producing five stand-up special, two of which will be with multiple comedians and three of which will be full hours (Deadline). A new batch of Looney Tunes (Deadline), a DC Universe series from Elizabeth Banks, a female rap group comedy from Issa Rae, and a coming-of-age-in-college sitcom from Mindy Kaling (Deadline) are all on the way. 

If you’ve been following the trail of HBO Max, you know that this is only the tip of the iceberg for them. So, are you ready to cue Futurama’s most famous meme yet?

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 O’Brien Announces Trip to Greenland

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.

Conan O’Brien’s Assistant Sona Movsesian Shines as Guest Filling In for Kumail Nanjiani

Uncategorized

In an unexpected and likely historic episode of Conan (and that includes all the different iterations of Conan O’Brien’s tenure in late night), Kumail Nanjiani, the planned guest, was stuck shooting Silicon Valley due to some scheduling error and had to cancel last minute. 

Since Conan only has one guest now, this presented a conundrum of what exactly to do. Thankfully, Conan had his assistant Sona Movsesian, a perfect balance for Conan’s antics and tomfoolery, sit down with him as the main guest. The interview ended up being the sort of cheeky and snappy back-and-forth that you’d hope get out of a late night interview, no matter who is sitting across from the host. See for yourself here.

So, we’ll be seeing more of Sona on camera, right? You can enjoy a lot more of this dynamic on the podcast Conan O’Brien Needs a Friend as Sona joins Conan on every episode.

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.

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.

#ConanWithoutBorders’s Next Stop Is Australia

Thankfully, the new, revamped Conan will allow Conan O’Brien to do more of this globetrotting that makes his, effectively, one of the best goodwill ambassadors that America has. 

His first stop in 2019 will be Australia and we can only imagine that Conan will be repeatedly asking if he can do his old style fist-a-cuffs fighting with a kangaroo outfitted with boxing gloves.

They’re currently taping in Australia right now, so you can get a bit of a preview of what they’re up to on Team Coco’s Instagram.

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

Uncategorized
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 O’Brien and Jordan Schlansky, Once More, Have One of Their Famous Dinners, This Time in Japan

If you can trace back the origins of the ongoing saga between Conan O’Brien and his associate producer (with various duties) Jordan Schlansky, they had a dinner at a lovely Italian restaurant in NYC. Of course, Conan spent the whole dinner ripping into the stone-faced and emotionless Jordan and thus their dysfunctional on-screen relationship was born.

Since then, Conan has invaded Jordan’s office, tracked when he gets to work, toured Italy with him, and more all to the delight of Team Coco fans.

For Conan’s recent trip to Japan, Conan and Jordan return to classic form, though, after all these years, Jordan might show just a bit of emotion. Please watch and enjoy here.

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.

While there a streamlining of Conan over at TBS that will debut in January, there will still be plenty of Conan to have in your life over the next few months.

One of those things will be a podcast with open conversations between O’Brien and guests in an attempt to get to know them outside of the pre-arranged stories they’ve done on his show for a quarter century and maybe, just maybe, make a new friend. If anything, it’ll probably allow to be Conan O’Brien that we enjoy the most, which is a Conan O’Brien with as little boundaries as possible.

Episodes will start dropping soon, but you can listen to a trailer and subscribe over at Earwolf here.

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

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 to Shake Things Up By Planning to Do a Half-Hour Show and Launch Site Where You Can Watch All of Conan O’Brien’s Late Night Catalog

Conan O’Brien to Shake Things Up By Planning to Do a Half-Hour Show and Launch Site Where You Can Watch All of Conan O’Brien’s Late Night Catalog

In 2019, Conan O’Brien and his team are going to continue to innovate in late night (as they have often done) by paring the show down to a half hour, probably doing only one celebrity interview and having more bits in the show. Given how Internet driven late night is these days and how bits and sketches are some of the more viral things put out by Team Coco, it’s a smart move and we’ll be excited to see how it pans out in a few months. 

Part of the move will allow for development of other projects by Conaco, Conan’s production banner, which is really nice to hear considering Eagleheart was a Conaco production.

On top of all of that, there will soon be one digital home for all the iterations of Conan’s late night career including Late Night with Conan O’Brien, Tonight Show with Conan O’Brien, and, of course, Conan.

Overall, we’re really on board for these changes as they’ll probably result in Conan doing more remote segments, more sketches, and an easier way to binge Norm MacDonald’s appearances on Conan over the decades.
