"Conan O'Brien Must Go" highly recommended 4 episode show 👍😆

4 episodes at about 45 minutes each.
HBO
https://www.imdb.com/title/tt27790101/

Very funnily written from the intro on. The premise is that Conan so yearns for audiences attention (which his podcast doesn’t provide) that he must go and find this attention.

He clearly put a lot of time into learning customs and languages of the 4 countries he goes to although in Ireland he gets a tutorial on Irish slang (mostly bar/dating stuff) that’s pretty funny.

It’s all self-deprecating and goofy Conan at his best.

He goes to a different country each show to find a supposedly “random” caller on his podcast. He shows up unannounced but I doubt that’s true but anyway…

The first two - Norway and Argentina- have some of the funniest stuff I’ve seen in a long time. 3. Is Thailand. 4. is Ireland. For fans - guess who shows up in Argentina….Jordan Schlansky.

He is such a funny guy and I spend every Monday(?) listening to his podcast. I can't remember the day but I wait for it knowing there will be an hour of fun while I clean horse stalls. I have one more of this latest show to watch.

Just watched Norway the other night. He’s starting to embrace old age and make full use of its potential for physical absurdity. The man makes a fine looking Viking is all I can say.

I watched the first episode and couldn't stop laughing about the guy framing the $69.69 receipt.
