Conan	comment	He had a show. Then he had a different show. Then he got a Twitter account. Then TBS gave him another show.OK, technically they gave it to him before he even got the Twitter account but the show couldn't start until the no-compete clause of his NBC severance package expired...After his run on The Tonight Show and the fallout of Jay Leno's reappointment to the series, Conan O'Brien went on a 30-city comedy/musical tour with his band and some of the show staff. During the lead-up to the Tour, speculation picked up as to which TV network would pick him up, if any (beliefs he would do incredibly well on the Internet still linger). On April 12, 2010, just hours before the start of his tour, he announced a deal with TBS for a new show. On September 1, 2010 he announced via Twitter and the Team Coco YouTube page that the show would be, creatively, titled Conan.Conan's original iteration was very similar to his run on Late Night, with a standard talk show format, consisting of a monologue, a couple of sketches, followed by two guests (sometimes separated by a short sketch) and ending with a musical guest or stand-up comedian. He is helped in his task by long-time announcer and Sidekick Andy Richter and his Tonight Show/Late Night band minus Max Weinberg, who left the show for health and family reasons. Max was replaced by lead guitarist Jimmy Vivino as the bandleader, and James "Worm" Wormsworth as drummer.The show underwent a massive retool due to Conan becoming tired of the traditional late night talk show format. After going on hiatus after the 10/4/18 episode Note(although another "Conan Without Borders" episode aired in November), during which Conan did a stand-up tour called "Team Coco Presents Conan & Friends: An Evening of Stand-Up and Investment Tips", the show returned on 1/22/19 in a looser, 30-minute format, in order to better bridge the popularity of his show on TV and digitally. The show is now shot on a much more intimate set that no longer features the standard desk and couch design. Conan and Andy (who've both ditched the traditional suit and tie) now sit in comfortable chairs almost right in front of a smaller studio audience with each night's guests. However, the new format means the show no longer includes Conan's band or musical guests.On November 17, 2020, TBS announced that Conan will cease production in June 2021. Counting his Late Night and Tonight Show series, that's an impressive 28 year run on traditional TV. However, Conan was also developing a weekly variety series with HBO Max, which eventually became the 2024 series Conan O'Brien Must Go.Not to be confused with the sword-wielding barbarian or de-aged detective with the same name.

Also as of 2018, Conan no longer seems to do his trademark "scrunch up legs and leap forward" move that he's been doing since his Late Night days. He now does a "cut" motion to the band at the end of the theme song. He still does the "string dance", however. On the 10/4/18 episode, Conan announced that Jimmy Vivino and the Basic Cable Band won't be joining him for the switch to the half hour format in 2019. To put into perspective: Nearly all the band members have been with him since the beginning in 1993.

Conan had a similar show concept, about two guys who share a desk. He forgot that he made the show and by now, only one of the two guys was alive.

Conan / int_259d5879	comment	Anachronism Stew: In a "Fan Corrections" about Thomas Jefferson helping James Madison write the Constitution from abroad in France, Jefferson and Madison are talking on cell phones. "The Sarah Palin History Network" told the story of the signing of the Declaration of Independence, which included the Founding Fathers as "plumbers, loggers, and truck drivers", George Jefferson, Paul Revere, and FDR, all wielding modern handguns, Hitler showing up to stop them, and the Fathers' secret weapon: R2-D2 with a gun. Similarly, "The Michele Bachmann History Channel" talked about the Constitutional Convention, which had Andrew Jackson - "father of the Jackson Five", Sam Patch Adams, John Wayne and his twin brother, John Wayne Gacy, and John Quincy Jones, who then all recorded a song on modern studio equipment in "Orlando, Florida, 1927". In any "Fan Corrections" which take place before film cameras were invented, this trope is used. One example is the exclusive behind-the-scenes footage of George Washington living in the White House. Also used in the Oh, Jesus! sketches, where Conan claims to have exclusive footage from the 1st century. When Conan visited the Lincoln Museum, he met a group of Abe Lincoln impersonators. One of them plugged his website while in character as Honest Abe. The disconnect amused Conan.

Even during skits, Conan and Andy just slap an article of clothing or two on top of their suits. Which has led to Conan doing his so-called low-budget vlogs while still clad in his suit, and apparently grilling in his backyard while wearing an apron... Over his suit.

Conan used the opportunity to make the episode Darker and Edgier, and one of the things was to air what the director in the booth is saying. A February 2020 sketch featured Andy showing (fake) footage of him as a contestant on Wheel of Fortune to illustrate how the show's puzzles supposedly trick players into guessing an inappropriate answer (after showing a clip from an actual "Wheel" bonus round that aired days earlier, in which a female contestant missolves "Kicking Back" as "Chasing Tail"). The result is Andy (wearing the same Hawaiian shirt each time, as Conan lampshades afterwardsnote The number of puzzles shown in the sketch would fit a week's worth of real-world episodes of Wheel, which limits contestants to a single appearance) somehow answering every puzzle, even those with too many or not enough unsolved letters to even be feasible for the word to be included, with these:

Of course, every correction that comes in is accurate, meaning that many, many people have caught him making a mistake; it's just that he inevitably responds with a skit showing a clearly absurd situation which nevertheless enables him to claim he was correct. During one of the Atlanta shows, Conan called out Paul Rudd for this after the obligatory Mac and Me clip was shown instead of an Anchorman 2: The Legend Continues clip: Conan claimed that "Punxsutawney Dr. Phil" was a real show.

This was followed-up with further threatening videos from Will, and a photoshop contest for the fans to portray what was dubbed "Beardpocalypse". And, as promised, Will's guest appearance on May 2nd was entirely centred around shaving Conan (badly, the job was finished for real by a professional during the commercial break). Conan said afterwards that it felt like he had come full-circle, as the last time Will had been his guest was on his last Tonight Show, right before he started growing the beard. Even better was when Tina Fey was interviewed and said she had a "clip of her book," Bossypants. The clip played and it was another Will Ferrell video, catching the audience by surprise.

The image on the phone was pixellated for obvious reasons. When Julie Bowen was a guest, she was talking about testicles (long story) and proceeded to draw them on a piece of paper, which was pixellated. Conan took the drawing and made it into a face so he could show it uncensored, but Andy didn't help by calling this character "Professor Scrotes". When Conan and Steven Yeun visited a Korean health spa, they were fully nude for part of it, and their privates had to be pixellated.

Conan / int_74b5724e	comment	We Are Experiencing Technical Difficulties: The April 5, 2011 episode suffered this when the west coast feed of TBS aired 5 minutes of dead air, followed by about 20 minutes of commercials (Lampshaded the next day by Conan, who said they made a fortune), followed by the show airing completely out of order. A sketch on the following episode explained the "reason" for the mix-up. During a skit in one episode, Conan and Andy lip synched to an imitation Morgan Freeman voiceover. Conan had planned to carry the voice over to announcing the guests as well, but just as he was about to announce the first guest's name, the machine that was providing the Morgan Freeman voice crashed and nothing was heard when Conan opened his mouth. The light in the moon went out for part of an episode. It went out again during the 1/23/13 and 1/24/13 episodes; in an amusing bit of miscommunication, Jeff Ross approached him to say there was something wrong with the moon. At first, Conan was confused because he thought Ross meant the actual moon, not the one on the set. In another episode, the wires holding the moon broke and it crashed. On September 13, 2012, reportedly some burnt popcorn at the nurses' station set off the fire alarm during the taping. Notably, this was both 19th anniversary of Conan being a talk-show host, and the first time that segment's guest, James Van Der Beek, had been on one of Conan's shows in 14 years. This is also the second time Conan has had a fire alarm go off on air, the first being at Late Night. On the 10/30/2013 episode, they were showing a montage of bloopers when the sound cut in and out. Conan drew attention to the irony that something went wrong when showing a montage of things going wrong. On the 3/19/15 episode, Conan began the "Conan's Video Blog" segment, but the colors on his display were screwed up: Conan was blue, and the ocean background behind Conan's desk was red. At first Conan wanted to do the segment in these funky colors, but after a couple minutes a staff member stepped in and fixed the colors.

Cut to a strip club, where three women were dancing. Conan asked if anyone wanted to give it a try. You think he's going to stuff dollar bills in the stripper's bra, but he opens his shirt and lets the stripper stuff bills in his bra instead. The recurring segment "Andy's Open Browser Tabs" is all about this; Andy will share a screenshot of his desktop with supposed porn sites in his other tabs, but the titles are cut off and he shows the non-porn sites he's actually browsing. (Example: "Teen Milfs" really stands for "Teen Methodists Inspiring Love For Service") The end of the sketch always does the reverse: A tab that looks innocent but is actually porn.

Conan / int_a4c37cbe	type	Mood Whiplash
Conan / int_a4c37cbe	comment	Mood Whiplash: Just due to the nature of the show sometimes. When you have an episode where the two guests are Pee-Wee Herman and a presidential historian, it's going to feel a bit schizo. In the 8/3/2011 episode, there was a brief sketch where Andy got earlobe spacers. Conan ridiculed how ridiculous Andy looked, to which Andy ran out of the studio with hurt feelings. Moody piano music played when Andy ran out to the parking lot. Suddenly, a group of pirates in a PT Cruiser drove by Andy and hooked his large earlobes with their hooks and dragged him down the lot, sending the sketch right back to comedy. The last show of the week in New York. Started with a sketch with Jon Stewart and Stephen Colbert, Triumph at Occupy Wall Street, and an interview with the always-hilarious Louis C.K.. Then the final segment of the show was Conan officiating for the wedding of a gay staffer and his partner, which was sweet and heartfelt... then the just-married couple rode out of the theater on Teddy Jr, fake Ted Turner's stuffed buffalo on wheels. The 12/13/2011 episode featured Bob Costas as a guest. While the first half of the interview was light-hearted, the second half got serious as he shared his thoughts on his recent phone interview with Jerry Sandusky. When Conan and guest Terry Crews play Battlefield1, the two get depressed about the birth date/death dates in the game, and decide they need a "bunny break", which consists of the two holding rabbits. Cue audience "awww"s. Whenever a famous celebrity dies, Conan has to awkwardly transition from a tribute to a comedy sketch. Wisely, he always calls attention to this whiplash.

Conan would observe that Andy's not actually commenting on the news stories but just asking if the audience remembers them. To which Conan tries the same thing and fails miserably, as Conan's photos are of downer news stories. A subtle one at the end of the "Bears in Our Pool" sketch: Conan claps, and increases in intensity with a forceful look on his face. Paralympic athlete Alana Nichols gave a ShoutOut to Paul Rudd when she threw to a clip of herself, only for the clip to be from Mac and Me instead.

Conan / int_c9597a03	comment	Self-Deprecation: Regularly takes shots at his new home on basic cable; his new band is referred to as the "Basic Cable Band". Conan sometimes opens the show with some variation of: "We've got a great show for you tonight. I'll watch this one, and I'm not a fan of this program. I don't like the host." Also, if something goes wrong on the show, Conan can be counted on to point it out, even if it was something that the viewers would never know about otherwise. Conan will occasionally apologize for a sketch, such as the one where Andy got earlobe spacers and got dragged by his earlobes by pirates in a PT cruiser: He also regularly pokes fun at his tendency to be a creepy lech with women on the show, his awkward gangly build and his pale skin. Before every "Celebrity Survey", Conan said that unlike a lot of talk shows, "We don't use professionals, and I think it shows." The segment "What Am I Watching?", which is meant to be a series of jabs at other shows, occasionally will make fun of Conan, such as one where the info button said of the show, "Lanky Irish-American seeks the love he never got from his parents." Brian LaFontaine (Brian Stack) in "Basic Cable Name That Tune", who insults himself with a big smile on his face. Conan hates him, too. When former Secretary of Labor Robert Reich was on in 2018:

A minor one occurred in one "Coffee Table Books That Didn't Sell"- one book was called You Ready For This?, and had comparison photos of people who are ready versus people who aren't. The last comparison's "not ready" photo had an old woman lying in what looks like a hospital bed. After a mixed reaction from the audience, Conan reassured everyone: "She's just resting. She's gonna be around a loooooong time." The premise of "Memba This?"- Andy will show random pics of humorous things and say "Memba this?" Conan will admonish him for a lazy sketch and will try it himself to show how easy it is, only for it to backfire when the pictures he gets are of tragic or unfunny things. Cue audience groans.

During the "Fan Corrections" segment: "Let's see if you've got what it takes to make chump meat out of the maestro!" A catchphrase-by-proxy: when Conan impersonates his producer Jeff Ross, it often includes "Jeff" asking "Wanna get some soup?" As on Late Night and The Tonight Show: "My Arnold always eats a sausage." and "I ate the tear and I grew strong." Lately, Conan frequently says "Hey, check this out, gang!" in a Vaudeville accent before delivering a monologue joke. If a joke does really well, Conan will mime being handed an award and he'll exclaim, "I won an award for that joke!" At the end of the "Mike Merritt's Inner Thoughts" sketches, Conan would frequently end his speech with: "...because we're all part of this beautiful mosaic that is mankind!" Bill Tull's budget tips: "Take some _____, (do this with it or combine the two), BOOM, ______". After WikiBear delivers some disturbing or inappropriate factoids, he cheerfully reminds everyone, "I'm WikiBear!" A typical Punxsutawney Dr. Phil sketch usually starts off with him coming out and saying "Thanks so much!" about two or three times as the audience applauds, and ends with him pulling out a switchblade knife and saying "I will kill you" when Conan refuses to take his advice. Stanley Barkwell, Conan's old warm-up comedian, repeatedly says "Make some noise."

Conan / int_f511ea9b	comment	Product Placement: Conan and Andy have plugged certain tech products. And Conan's "Clueless Gamer" segments can be viewed as a method to plug an upcoming game. That said, there are still plenty of snarky monologue jokes towards various products or companies, and often results in Conan taking back what he said once he realizes the company he just bashed is a sponsor on the show. One particularly prominent example was when Dawn of the Planet of the Apes came out: Conan began to tell a joke about John Boehner discussing illegal immigrants, but a trailer for the new Apes movie began to play instead, annoying Conan. Then an image from the movie appeared behind Conan, further annoying him. Then the camera cut to the control room, where one of the crew members was dressed as an ape. Conan got even more "upset" at these blatant product plugs and demanded no more. Cue an ape playing the bongo drums near the band. Conan, "furious", demanded no more distractions, and finally went on with his immigration story... In an episode from 2014, an audience member engaged in this: During Conan's monologue, he started to tell a joke about an app that teaches men how to perform oral sex on women; said audience member was audibly heard over everyone else and Conan called her out. When he invited her up front, she gave Conan a book she wrote and asked him to show it. Conan was understandably confused:

Conan / int_f9f2c33	type	Running Gag
Conan / int_f9f2c33	comment	Running Gag: When Conan says something about how an episode won't air or is completely unusable, usually following some mistake or something completely random. When something particularly absurd is going on, Conan will often say, "I love how anyone tuning in right now will have no idea what's going on." A recurring segment began in March 2011, where "Entertainment Tonight-exclusive" clips from Captain America: The First Avenger were introduced, except Conan showed clips from the 1979 made-for-TV Captain America movie instead, which are lower quality. At the conclusion of every clip, a clip of Mark Steines, the Entertainment Tonight co-host would have him say "Oh it looks gooood!" Starting with the 6/29/11 episode, Conan began imitating that sound byte: "Looks goooood!". When the sketch gained popularity, Steines ended up appearing on the show in support. When Captain America: The First Avenger was released, the sketch then used Rise of the Planet of the Apes for its jokes instead. For a couple weeks in early August 2011, someone named Steve Zampanides was announced as a guest. But he was continuously bumped in every episode due to running out of time, and each new episode listed him under a different specialty. Because of this, and also since there were few Google results for his name (aside from a Twitter account that was suspiciously created on August 9th and a website whose domain was owned by Team Coco), fans quickly caught on that this "Steve" wasn't a real person but actually a running gag created by the Conan staff. The running gag abruptly ceased after a couple weeks, and has never been explained or even mentioned by Team Coco. If Barack Obama comes up during "Celebrity Survey", he will say "I killed Osama Bin Laden". Similarly, if Larry King is featured, there will be a joke about him being Older Than Dirt. Whenever Paul Rudd is a guest, he will show the same ridiculous clip from Mac and Me instead of the clip he was supposed to show. Chronicled in this video and culminating in Rudd's visit before the release of Ant-Man. Conan's resemblance to actress Tilda Swinton is brought up every now and then. As is his popularity in Finland. Whenever viewers are directed to a page on the show's website, it shows up on-screen as "TEAMCOCO.COM/PAGE". However, the slash symbol is always replaced by a headshot of Guns N' Roses guitarist Slash. One infrequent sketch involves Conan reading a "news of the weird" story (usually involving someone doing something perverse) and asking, "What kind of sick person would do that?" Smash Cut to an unsuspecting person in the audience. Conan notices this and admonishes the director for cutting to them accidentally, and continues with the sketch. Despite this, the camera keeps cutting back to the person in the audience, despite Conan's repeated objections. Coincidental sound bytes are also often used. Here's just one example.

The 1/28/13 episode featured a sketch where Andy replaced himself with a sidekick outsourced from Asia (in reference to a current news event); Conan went to Andy's dressing room to find even more outsourced workers, and even Jeff Ross (and eventually, Conan) were replaced by Asians as well. A sketch parodying The Irishman ended with: "Netflix, a subsidiary of Disney, a division of TikTok".

Conan / int_fdfd52d9	comment	Gross-Up Close-Up: In the 1/12/12 episode, Ricky Gervais found it amusing that TBS is on a really high number on some cable/satellite services, and theorized that people only tune in because they're looking for porn in those high numbers. He then decided to give those people a fake-out: He pushed his breasts together and the camera zoomed in on his "cleavage". Of course, since Gervais has a hairy chest, it turned into a Gross-Up Close-Up instead.
