Conan O'Brien Must Go

I really enjoyed Conan Without Borders and watched some of them multiple times.

This time in a lot of bits it just doesn't work for me (but not all of them). Conan just doesn't vibe with some of his fans and other people, while usually he makes either them or us laugh in such situation this time interaction feels kinda forced. Sometimes he interrupts people or makes them feel visibly uncomfortable to push some joke which doesn't seem really worth it to me.

As far as travelling goes, there was barely anything new to learn about each country, I think Conan could find more less obviously tourist places, things closer to common folks, like he used to.

There's only one hillarious episode, and you know which one (or who is in it).

This man is a TRUE legend! 👑 Anything he touches is comedy gold. Me and my kids will be watching and I look forward to the memories & tons of laughs we will share. Thank you Conan 🙏 for all the joy you bring to the world 🌎💫 His contributions to The Simpsons is what has made that show so unique & has stood the test of time, when it comes to the classics, you know those first seasons are so good because of Conan's masterful touch. Watching his Conan O'Brien (late night) talk shows, on network then cable television, provided me great comfort during some of the most difficult times of my life! Please keep giving us any varieties of your art as long as you can & know you are adored worldwide.

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.

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.

Long time Conan fan here. Religious podcast listener and have watched tons of clips of him on YouTube. Watched basically all his remotes and loved them all.

I believe like myself, many people have anticipated Conan O'Brien Must Go ever since the TBS nightly show went off the air. Well, the new show definitely has the old Conan recipe: traveling, interacting with locals, funny improvs, etc etc. Definitely worth watching.

But I really believe that this format still has a lot of potential. A lot of things that I miss about the old travel shows are unfortunately absent. Real laugh track from a live audience (definitely a conscious decision from the production team), not too much multi-cam setup and fancy editing (which makes the new show feel a bit contrived), and just more organic interactions (either with locals or someone on the team like Sona or Jordan). Like some comments said, I feel the new show is trying too hard in some sense, making the jokes feel contrived. I don't think there are a lot of clips that I will be watching over and over again like those from Conan's travels in Armenia, Japan, Isreal, Australia, etc. I believe that Conan really shines when there isn't a lot of budget, post-production, planning, and scripting. Maybe the expectation from HBO and even himself is too high, but I think it surprisingly hurts the show. Let him take it easy and relax, and actually enjoy the travel and bantering with whoever is on the show with him. It really doesn't need to be "polished" to be a good and funny show.

Nevertheless, I would recommend everyone to watch it still. I'm just having high hopes for the next season.
