And now, the Red Cross is heading out to provide aid and supplies to the citizens of Nepal in order to try and get through this terrible disaster.

Just a few days ago, CONAN writer Andres du Bouchet took to his oh, so hilarious Twitter account to let the world know just what he thought of the state of comedy in 2015. During the rant, he seemed to offend Tonight Show host Jimmy Fallon's newest Spike, LL Cool J-hosted series Lip Sync Battle –– a show in which celebs battle it out for the title of Best Lip Sync-er...or something like that. Anyway, while the world thought the remarks were rather humorous – especially when he tweeted you could "shove your lip-syncing up you're a**" – apparently not everyone thought it was the most professional thing to do. In particular? Conan O'Brien himself. The TBS host recently kicked off a little beef with du Bouchet on Twitter. Read More »
Not everyone appears to be enjoying Jimmy Fallon’s newfound smash television show Lip Sync Battle, which pairs two celebrities against one another in an “epic” battle of lip syncing –– pretty much exactly what the title calls for. Anyway, it’s being reported that CONAN writer Andres du Bouchet took to his Twitter account recently to slam the television show, and apparently invited people to “shove your lip-syncing up you’re a**.” Read More »
Are you a fan of science? How about comedian Jimmy Pardo? How about Pardo's podcast Never Not Funny? How about CONAN? Well, if you answered yes to them all, we've got great news for you: the famed comedian is gearing up to host a new game show for the Science Channel titled Race to Escape. Much like the now-famed Escape the Room and others like it, which locks a group of people in a room and gives them an hour to get out using several clues inside the room, Pardo's new Science series will pin two teams of strangers against one another. All of whom are trapped in a room and forced to try and get out using hidden clues. Read More »
If you've watched each and every variation of Conan O'Brien over the years, including Late Night with Conan O'Brien, The Tonight Show with Conan O'Brien, and finally, CONAN, then you know exactly who Brian Stack is. If not by name, then undoubtedly by face and talent. The longtime writer has been with the famed comedian for 18 years, starting way back when Late Night was getting off the ground at NBC. And now, it's being reported that Stack is leaving O'Brien and heading back to New York to work on The Late Show with Stephen Colbert. Stack announced his Team Coco departure earlier today on Twitter, with his TBS co-worker, and fellow CONAN writer, Andrés du Bouchet, confirming later on Twitter that he's heading to The Late Show.

Following word that President Barack Obama is trying to ease our relationship with Cuba, comedian Conan O’Brien chose to head on over there to film an episode of his TBS late night show CONAN. Apparently it wasn’t as easy as he was hoping, but after some time he did indeed get in. And after stopping by Howard Stern’s radio show to discuss the episode, O’Brien made another stop at Comedy Central’s The Daily Show to discuss his experience with Jon Stewart. Of course, it’s good the TBS host made a stop over now. You know, because Stewart will soon be leaving his coveted fake news desk. Read More »
Conan O’Brien is heading to Cuba! Well, technically he already went there. But the episode of TBS’ CONAN he filmed overseas will air this coming March 4. Yes, it’s being reported that the red-headed late night show took advantage of that newfound embargo release and decided to film an episode of his famed television show there. It’s reportedly the first time since The Tonight Show host Jack Paar did so back in 1959, when he apparently interviewed the newly-brought-to-power Fidel Castro. Read More »
Conan O’Brien never finds making fun of Larry King’s ever so old age tiring. And we can’t really blame him, because we never get tired of watching. On last night’s episode of CONAN, O’Brien did so yet again when he was visited by the one and only Grim Reaper. But don’t worry, Death wasn’t there to take O’Brien to the afterworld. Not even Andy. And really, not even Larry King. Though it sure did seem like it at first. Read More »
Last night’s episode of CONAN delivered one of the funniest sketches in the late night program’s history. And no because it was meant to be funny; it was because the sketch went completely haywire. If you’ve watched the TBS hit around the time of the Super Bowl then you know host Conan O’Brien and Andy Richter mock the Puppy Bowl by putting on Puppy ‘CONAN’. Keeping true with tradition, the duo did so just last night. But apparently puppy Andy had something not-so-great to eat before the game… because he defecated all over the floor. And the best part? Well, that was when Puppy Brady and Puppy Conan decided to eat it. Read More »
If you tuned into last night’s episode of CONAN then you undoubtedly saw Portlandia’s own Fred Armisen and Carrie Brownstein take to host Conan O’Brien’s couch. During the duo’s interview, O’Brien brought up a little beef Armisen has with his former Saturday Night Live co-star, who recently lit up the screen in The Skeleton Twins, Bill Hader. Mainly the fact that Hader did an impression of Armisen that the latter found a little “unfair.” Naturally, with that, Armisen had a little impression of his own for his former friend. Read More »
Following yesterday’s horrific news in Paris, France – where 12 people were murdered because a satirical newspapers made a number of jokes that offended a particular group – many in the comedy world could not help but feel somewhat uneasy. Not just because of the terrible loss of life for those overseas but also because it somewhat hits home for them. With that, CONAN host Conan O’Brien took a quick minute during last night’s episode with Hunger Games: Mockingjay Part 1 and Pitch Perfect 2 star Elizabeth Banks and actor Vinnie Jones, to discuss what’s now being coined as the “Charlie Hebdo Tragedy.” Read More »
With the retirement of David Letterman rapidly approaching and former Colbert Report host Stephen Colbert taking his place, people suddenly realized that CONAN host Conan O’Brien is now the elder of the late night crew. Since newcomer Seth Meyers has taken over the Late Night spot, Jimmy Fallon has dominated and changed The Tonight Show (for the better) and Craig Ferguson now finished, that leaves O’Brien to keep the late night we’ve grown to love over the years going. Some might even say he’s not the “old man” of late night… Read More »
