Conan O'Brien Must Go

Conan O'Brien once described the gasoline for his comedic engine as the relentless pursuit of the strange phantom intersection between smart and stupid. In this new series, Conan puts HBO Max's money, or is it just Max now? Who the heck knows? Point is Conan puts someone's money to good use while bringing us a hearty dose of bottled throttled mad genius. As the great philosopher William Q. Wonka once opined, "Conan is the music maker. Conan is the dreamer of dreams."

As a long time O'Brien-o-phile (podcast host, late night host, and . . . Well . . . I guess that's about it) and fellow inbred melanin deficient Irishman, it's no surprise that I loved Conan O'Brien Must Go. Even if you're not, and even if somehow you've been living in a cave and have never heard of Conan, watch the show. His brilliant stupidity and stupid brilliance will win you over. And who knows? Maybe your next houseguest (cave guest?) will be the Red Tornado himself.

One gripe: There was talk of gerbils, but I didn't see any. What gives?

Everything on the episodes is perfect, and when the show starts recording again for the part 2, put Jordan in every episode, for the love of god.

Is a brilliant and hilarious travel series. Conan's comedic humanity shines as he interacts with people in Norway, Thailand, Argentina, and Ireland. The show combines wit, absurdity, and heart, making it a must-watch for comedy fans and continues to deliver uproarious laughs and unexpected moments. Conan's irreverent humor and genuine curiosity make this travel series a standout. Whether he's sampling exotic foods or attempting local customs, Conan's antics keep viewers entertained. A must-binge for comedy enthusiasts.

I'm just gonna cut to the chase here without any detailed spoilers. Overall I think it's a bit of a 'cheap' concept for a travel show. A lot of scenes felt wayyyy too long, others too short. When someone has an interesting story, Conan tries too hard to make a joke. You're traveling to interesting places, Conan! Let us hear people's stories also! You did so magnificently in the past, and knew when to joke/not joke. He's overstepping his shtick here sometimes (in my opinion), and that's a shame.

I'm still giving it a 7, because when it wasn't so forced, it was absolutely HILARIOUS. The imagery was also breathtaking.

Enjoy it for what it is, but don't expect a masterpiece. Maybe season 2 will be better! I really hope so.

He can pretty much do no wrong with us and we were so excited to watch his new show - another gem by Conan! Very entertaining to see him in Norway. It's a nice way to see the culture with his usual brand of humor. Several times we laughed out loud. So nice to see him out of the studio and exploring with his funny observations. Love him in his podcasts but his remotes have always been our favorite. What a nice way to tie in meeting his fans with a new show! Very nice views of Norway, the fjords are beautiful!

He's hilarious per usual as he takes us on his travels. We love it! Please continue making these.

If you are a Conan fan you know that the best part about him is to explore new places let it be Israel, Finland, etc. He brings his child-like energy and comedian charm to every speck of the show. He needs to do more of this content. Jordan Schlansky steals the show as always. The chemistry is as good as the late-night show days. This is an excuse to reminisce about travel bits in the late-night days of Conan.

Worth every penny on HBO Max. In a world where it is getting harder and harder to watch shows and movies with your kids and family, this show is a delight. Highly recommend watching it with your family you will have a blast and learn a thing or two about the world.
