    Late night talk shows have been the place comedy goes to die for a long time now, but Conan O'Brien is the only host in recent memory to actually be, you know, funny while hosting a late night show.

    So I'm sure this will be entertaining. It's exciting to see him breaking out of the stodgy late night format and trying so many different new things.

      I’d add Craig Ferguson to that short list too

        Ferguson’s show did end like 10 years ago though.

        True, but it’s been nearly a decade since his show was cancelled.

      Conan is a great interviewer but unless he was interviewing a very good comedian on a good day (or Norm McDonald any day...), the best parts were usually not the interviews.

    This is exciting! I started listening to his "Conan Needs a Friend" podcast regularly a few month ago and I love it. Conan, Matt, and Sona (and the rest of the podcast team) are hilarious.

    I never really watched his late night shows when he was on TV, but I always enjoyed his YouTube channel, especially the remotes and travel bits. Glad to see Team Coco finally getting back on screen, but in a new-ish way.

    YES! Beyond excited for this. In many ways Conan is a form of comfort watching/listening for me and I’ve been anticipating his new show. I loved his Conan Without Borders specials on his TBS show...

    As a fan, I'm incredibly excited. Conan's travel segments are among the best things he ever did and that was the absolute right decision. The worst that could happen would be another talk show....

    I'm also a bit worried because this looks expensive (for the format), maybe overly scripted.
