Two weeks after Conan O’Brien’s triumphant return to his former home at 30 Rock, another homecoming of sorts is set to take place on his old show.
Drummer Jay Weinberg, who currently serves as drummer for crossover thrash band Suicidal Tendencies, will sit in with Late Night with Seth Meyers’ 8G Band next month.
Under the musical direction of Fred Armisen, The 8G Band frequently invites artists to sub in for Armisen on drums. Other recent guest drummers have included Fall Out Boy’s Andrew Hurley, No Doubt’s Adrian Young, and Mudhoney’s Dan Peters.
Weinberg’s presence on Late Night creates something of a full-circle moment for the franchise. His father, Max Weinberg, was the drummer and bandleader for O’Brien’s house band.
Best known as the drummer for Bruce Springsteen’s E Street Band, Max led the Max Weinberg 7 throughout O’Brien’s tenure on Late Night,...

Eva Mendes is known for her insanely good looks and has often been considered one of the most beautiful women in Hollywood. The Hitch star is known for her roles in films such as Ghost Rider, We Own The Night, and The Place Beyond the Pines, the latter of which was where she met her future partner Ryan Gosling.
While it has been a while since she has starred in any film, Eva Mendes was the subject of a tabloid rumor back in 2007. The actress was reportedly rumored to be pregnant after being seen by paparazzi with a ‘bump’. However, the actress denied the claim back then and Evan promoted body positivity by speaking about how putting on a little bit of weight was not that big of a deal.

Okay, all you Meryl Streep superfans out there. You may think you know everything there is to know about the acclaimed three-time Academy Award winner. But can you name which of her Oscar-nominated roles she claims she was not “sexy enough” for until she “stuffed” her bra with paper towels for the director? Streep has been nominated a whopping 21 times throughout her career, an academy record, so we’ll help you narrow it down by giving you a few hints.
Hint #1: The film is based on a 1937 memoir.
Hint #2: Streep portrays the memoir’s author.
Hint #3: The movie won seven Oscars, including Best Picture.
Have you figured it out yet, or has the lion got your tongue? If you guessed “Out of Africa” (1985), you are correct!

Robert Smigel’s Triumph the Insult Comic Dog returned Thursday in a video that recalled his heyday at Late Night With Conan O’Brien.
Former President Donald Trump’s New York criminal trial—the one in which he’s charged with 34 felony counts surrounding an alleged hush money payment to Stormy Daniels—kicked off in Lower Manhattan with jury selection this week, and Smigel wasted no time getting the cigar-chomping puppet down on the scene.
The video finds Triumph interacting with the crowd of Trump supporters outside the courthouse — or as he puts it, “a real who’s who of who’s off their meds.”
At times, the jokes get lost among the clash of arguing bystanders, but the ten-minute video is full of Triumph’s typically cutting quips: “I think Trump’s kind of losing it. He’s even starting to slur his slurs,” he tells two Trump supporters at one point.

Max is serving the travel docuseries genre up in a sweet four-episode comedic package titled Conan O’Brien Must Go, in which the former late-night TV host brings his unique sense of humor around the globe. There are more than a few reasons to tune into the newly-dropped title on Max, but we’re breaking down a few of them, below: 1. The caliber of guests. The premise of the series involves O’Brien visiting different countries around the world to spend some quality time with fans who have called into his podcast, Conan O’Brien Needs a Friend. Surprising them at their front doors, he interacts with the varying personalities in different ways to deliver the best possible comedic beats. The visits are also endearing as O’Brien attempts to help these fans with their own ventures like promoting their bands or boosting their radio listening base. 2. It offers a healthy dose of nostalgia.

The key to understanding Conan O’Brien’s comedy is knowing that it comes from a point of kindness. Yes, I know in this age of comics punching down, this kind of compliment may leave you with a neon “Must Avoid!” sign flashing in your bleary eyes — but stay with me.
Here is an example. Early in the first episode of his new, four-episode Max travel show “Conan O’Brien Must Go,” Conan — who has earned the right to be referred to by his first name. See: Carson, Johnny — travels to Oslo, Norway. There, he pops in on Jarle, a Norwegian waif of a rapper that Conan had originally met on a segment of his “Conan O’Brien Needs a Friend” podcast. In the podcast video, Jarle’s hair was combed and he seemed coherent. Then Conan surprises him. Jarle comes to the door, and he’s maybe 110 pounds in a long sleeve T-shirt,...

So here is Conan O’Brien, dressed like a Viking, facing down another, much slighter Viking gent who, in historic Viking tradition, must deliver an insult before a fight to the death ensues.
Except the adversary is struggling to come up with an insult. After trying “overgrown ginger,” he settles on something revealing Conan’s true native allegiance: “You hamburger-eating diabetic joke of a lost British colony.”
Yes, this takes place in Conan’s new series on Max, Conan O’Brien Must Go; but, despite the locale, we are in very familiar—and very funny—territory. One of the standout features of Conan’s distinguished late-night career, were his comedy “remotes.” (Search YouTube for “Best Conan Remotes”; you’ll thank me later.)

Late-night talk shows were like home when I was a teenager. Social anxieties could disappear, bullies were non-existent, and the humorous, non-consequential words of the hosts would calm me down after a stressful day at school. The comedians who took over TV after 11:35 Pm welcomed me into a universe I belonged to, a complete contrast from the social outcasting I felt in the classroom walls. I could live vicariously through their jokes and joyful scenarios in which the audience cheered and clapped, and nobody’s confidence was shattered by a lousy joke.
Along with Craig Ferguson, Conan O’Brien was a nightly weekday highlight. Conan’s spastic impressions and self-deprecating pokes were a warm fire in front of the TV, a silly distraction for me and so many of his viewers who loved to gather around his aura every night on NBC and then TBS at the dawn of the decade.

Max’s Conan O’Brien Must Go is a travel show with a twist.
“My mission is that you learn nothing about the country,” O’Brien explained on a spectacular recent installment of the Hot Ones web series, an appearance that I’m confident did more to boost the visibility of Conan O’Brien Must Go than the dozens of marketing dollars Warner Bros. surely put into the series. “My job is that you know less about the country after I’m done than when I started.”
While O’Brien’s performance on Hot Ones — especially after pronouncing that he’d never encountered a spice until his 50s — may have surprised some observers, few of the late night veteran’s devotees will be surprised that his assessment of Conan O’Brien Must Go is disingenuous. Or at least it’s a hair disingenuous. Conan O’Brien Must Go isn’t the sort of travel...

Viewers of the Irish-language soap opera Ros na Rún are in for a surprise later this month when Conan O’Brien makes an appearance in the show’s titular fictional town.
According to the show’s producers, O’Brien plays a feisty balloon delivery man who pays a visit to the local pub where he gets into a heated exchange with its owner, a fan-favorite character named Tadhg.
The former late-night host’s cameo on the soap was taped in January and is featured in his new Max series Conan O’Brien Must Go, which sees him travel to a different foreign country each episode.
O’Brien worked with a linguistics coach to learn the Irish language (also known as Gaeilge), but the results are to be determined. While the soap’s producer, Marion Ní Loingsigh, has described his performance as “a perfect delivery of Gaeilge,” O’Brien himself is bracing us for the worst.

Disney+ plans to launch new linear-tv-like channels with Star Wars or Marvel shows, according to a report from The Information. But don’t call them Fast channels, because considering the Disney+ subscription price, they wouldn’t be free.
First things first: IndieWire went straight to the source, a spokesperson for Disney’s streaming business, to inquire. The spokesperson declined comment. Shoot.
So then we went straight to the guy who coined the Fast acronym — it stands for Free, ad-Supported Streaming Television — for his opinion on the report.
Alan Wolk has been yelling at SVOD (Streaming Video On-Demand — not Wolk’s acronym) services to roll out preprogrammed channels for years now. It’s Fast without the free; it’s broadcast and cable TV without the cord. Programmers set a 24/7 schedule of owned and licensed content, one after another in whatever order, and they will come.

Way back in 2002, the excitement for Star Wars Episode II: Attack of the Clones diminished somewhat. Late Night with Conan O’Brien sent Triumph the Insult Comic Dog to mock the fans lined up for the premiere, resulting in a segment in which comedian/puppeteer Robert Smigel launched nerd jokes at the assembly.
Most of the jokes were pretty obvious, including the last bit, in which a man cosplaying as Mr. Spock gained the knack for cursing and walked up and down the line with his middle finger extended. But while the perceived Star Wars vs. Star Trek rivalry has become an old toxic cliché at this point, the fact is that the two franchises don’t actually overlap very much in terms of their core missions. Trek favors optimistic philosophical inquiry and Wars emphasizes fantasy and adventure.

A recent profile of O’Brien by The Hollywood Reporter mentions that Team Coco’s slate includes a show starring former Cheers costars Ted Danson and Woody Harrelson (and even that the two actors have their own shelf in the company fridge).
While the podcast hasn’t yet been officially announced, artwork and a series description for the show—“Where Everybody Knows Your Name with Ted Danson and Woody Harrelson (sometimes)”—can be found on SiriusXM’s media site.
“This podcast is a chance to reconnect, both with each other and the amazing friends they’ve each met over the decades—that is, when Ted can get a hold of Woody”, the show description teases. “Join them as they dig beyond the career highlights and into the stuff of life that makes us who we are.

Jimmy Fallon, host of NBC’s The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon, is about to celebrate his 10th anniversary fronting a franchise that first began with Steve Allen behind the desk in 1954, followed by Jack Paar, Johnny Carson, Jay Leno and Conan O’Brien (and Jay Leno again) — and he’s keen to keep it going.
Speaking about Carson’s record as the longest-running (and most-identifiable) host of this seminal late-night show, Fallon said during a panel at Deadline’s Contenders Television event, “I’m gonna go, you guys want me? Let’s break the record, let’s go, let’s do 30 years!”

Fallon himself has already spent 25 years at NBC in different incarnations. He started on Saturday Night Live in 1998 (“thinking that’s the goal”) and has now “for more than half of my life been at the same building.”

If you still forget to drop the “HBO” when talking about Max, take comfort in the fact that Conan O’Brien is in the same boat.
Appearing on an episode of “Hot Ones” to promote his new Max travel show “Conan O’Brien Must Go,” the late night TV legend poked some fun at his employer’s decision to rebrand the flagship Warner Bros. Discovery streaming service after years of calling it HBO Max.
“Is it HBO Max or just Max? I can’t get used to it,” O’Brien said early in his appearance on the chicken wing-centric talk show. “It’s not a better name.”
As the episode progressed — and O’Brien’s tastebuds were subjected to more pain — the comedian became more vocal about his disdain for the rebranding. By the end, he was comically shouting about how he preferred the name HBO.

With the passing of controversial pop culture figure O.J. Simpson this week, some of us could only think of one thing…Ok, maybe not just that. There was also the constant flaming of O.J. from Norm Macdonald during his tenure on Saturday Night Live, using his Weekend Update anchor duties to shred Simpson every single week. Unfortunately, his insistence on taking jabs at Simpson ultimately resulted in him being fired, as producer Don Ohlmeyer was good friends with Simpson.
Commenting on both the grip that the O.J. Simpson case had on the American public and Macdonald ripping it on Weekend Update, Conan O’Brien – who frequently had Norm on as a guest – told Jake Tapper, “It was a huge deal back then.

Conan O’Brien appeared on CNN for an interview with Jake Tapper a few hours after news broke that O.J. Simpson had died. Making the press rounds in support of his new Max series “Conan O’Brien Must Go,” the comedian and former late-night host quipped “I never make a joke about someone the day they passed.” But O’Brien did reflect on the time when late-night shows had to cover O.J. Simpson’s murder trial.
“It was a huge deal back then. Most notably, he’s passed on, but Norm Macdonald,” O’Brien said. “One of my best guests of all time and one of the great comedians of all time. He did the most brilliant comedy of anybody during that period.”

“Is it HBO Max or just Max? I can’t get used to it,” O’Brien joked when being questioned by Sean Evans about his travel series. “It’s not a better name,” he added.
By the end of his spicy wing experience, O’Brien was covered in hot sauce and drooling milk as he roared about the rebrand during his final plug for Must Go.

O.J. Simpson was on everyone’s mind today after his death, and Conan O’Brien took the opportunity to salute his late friend, comic Norm Macdonald, who continued doing Simpson jokes on Saturday Night Live even after being warned by NBC higher-ups to knock it off.
Sitting Thursday with CNN’s Jake Tapper to promote his new show, Conan O’Brien Must Go, the former Late Night host remembered Macdonald for doing “some of the most brilliant comedy of anybody during that whole period.”
It eventually led to his firing by NBC head Don Ohlmeyer in 1998. O’Brien explained that “The head of the network at the time was tight with O.J.”
O’Brien praised Macdonald as “one of my best guests of all-time,” and “one of the great comedians of all-time.”

It’s the question everyone loves asking: Will Lorne Michaels actually retire after SNL’s milestone 50th season next year?
The Saturday Night Live creator and longtime EP has hinted as much, but add Conan O’Brien to the list of doubters.
“If you took an X-ray of Lorne Michaels, you would see SNL in his bone marrow,” O’Brien tells the Hollywood Reporter in a new interview. “I just don’t see it happening. And I don’t think anyone’s anxious for him to go anywhere.”
“When Franklin Roosevelt died suddenly in April of 1945, he’d been president for 13 years,” O’Brien continued. “There was a whole generation that only knew him. Lorne is the Fdr of comedy. Retiring to his blueberry farm? I’m not buying it.”
O’Brien, of course, isn’t a mere bystander. He worked Michaels with for 23 years–first as a writer on SNL...

Tuesday night saw something that, fourteen years ago, might have seemed impossible: Conan O’Brien returned to “The Tonight Show.” And he was greeted with a standing ovation.
He was there, ostensibly, to promote a forthcoming Max series in which he travels the world meeting fans. But he’d come a long way just to get to 30 Rockefeller Center in 2024, and the interview with current “Tonight Show” host Jimmy Fallon functioned as a peace offering, or a marker of how much time has passed.
O’Brien, after all, exited the program under a cloud in 2010, after a much-followed period of corporate intrigue. Inheriting the show from Jay Leno, O’Brien was set up to fail when NBC programmed a prime-time Leno series, which bombed, as his lead-in five nights a week; O’Brien departed the show after only seven months, at which point Leno replaced him. O’Brien comported himself throughout with a certain pained dignity,...

Conan O’Brien returned to The Tonight Show on Tuesday, April 9, for the first time since being fired as host back in 2010, and he couldn’t help but feel “weird” about it all. The legendary comedian joined Jimmy Fallon to promote his upcoming Max series, Conan O’Brien Must Go, and the pair reminisced about O’Brien’s late-night career. O’Brien hosted Late Night on NBC from 1993 to 2009 and two seasons of The Tonight Show between 2009 and 2010. “It’s weird to come back,” O’Brien said. “I haven’t been in this building for such a long time, and I haven’t been on this floor in forever. I was here for 16 years doing the Late Night show before we went out to L.A., and right across the hall… all these memories came flooding back to me.” “The first thing that will hit you — and it will hit you,...

If you love late-night TV and you miss Conan O’Brien (as you should), you have to scarf up every opportunity that comes along; so last night’s guest shot with Jimmy Fallon was–to underscore the NBC-themed nostalgia of it all–Must See TV.
The studio audience certainly knew it. They knew this was Conan returning to NBC, and returning to The Tonight Show for the first time since he departed the show in 2010 on terms so bad that he used his last week on the air trying to (symbolically) drain NBC’s budget by doing things like (fictionally) having a rare fossil skeleton of a ground sloth spray Beluga caviar on an original Picasso.
The sustained standing ovation proved the audience was into the momentousness of the occasion. So was Fallon, who called Conan “larger than life.”
And so was Conan, who replied with mock arrogance: “The word’s iconic.

Sitting down with Jimmy Fallon Tuesday night in his first visit back to the Tonight Show since he stepped down as host in 2010, Conan O’Brien told a story about the time a fire at 30 Rock forced his show out of its studio on the sixth floor, so they taped show from the Rockefeller Center ice skating rink instead.
“The guest was Samuel L. Jackson,” O’Brien recalled to Fallon. “Andy Richter, my sidekick, and I ran into a Sharper Image and bought one of those massage chairs, and put it out next to the rink. And Samuel L. Jackson is like sitting there–the coolest guy in the world–but no one can make one of those chairs cool.”

Conan O’Brien is making his return to The Tonight Show after being fired as the replacement host years ago.
If you don’t know the history, in 2009, Jay Leno decided to end his run as host of the Tonight Show to take on a new late night talk show on NBC in an earlier time slot. NBC then named Conan as Jay‘s replacement on The Tonight Show. Both shows did not receive the ratings NBC had hoped for. Conan was then let go as The Tonight Show host and Jay Leno was brought back to host just a few months later in March of 2010.

Now, for the first time in 14 years, Conan is returning to The Tonight Show. He’ll appear on the April 9 episode of the show, now hosted by Jimmy Fallon. Conan will be promoting his Max series Conan O’Brien Must Go.

While many of us know how the story goes, here’s a quick recap for those who may have forgotten: After debuting on The Tonight Show in June 2009, Conan O’Brien was abruptly ousted from his dream job after being on air for a brief seven months. He was unceremoniously replaced by Jay Leno in January 2010 (which Rolling Stone likened at the time as the comedy-world equivalent of being jilted at the altar for a Jersey Shore cast member) and hasn’t set foot on the NBC franchise’s stage since.

Conan O’Brien is set to make his first appearance as a guest on The Tonight Show since his unceremonious departure.
The comedian hosted The Tonight Show between June 2009 and January 2010 but was replaced by Jay Leno’s return to the show after his short-lived primetime failure.
O’Brien will now be a guest on Jimmy Fallon’s version of the show on April 9, to promote his long-in-the-works travelogue, Conan O’Brien Must Go, which debuts on Max on April 18. Other guests on that show include Nicole Richie and musical guest Benson Boone.
The former Conan host – he hosted that show between 2010 and 2021 – has, however, made a short video appearance on Jimmy Fallon’s show before. In 2018, he appeared in a skit that the former SNL star and The Late Show’s Stephen Colbert did.

It’s been over fourteen years since Conan O’Brien last appeared on The Tonight Show–and back then, it was as the show’s host.
We all know how that went down, but his first visit to the franchise since then promises to be a much more light-hearted affair.
O’Brien is set to sit down with Jimmy Fallon Tuesday April 9th to discuss his new Max series, Conan O’Brien Must Go.
He has technically appeared on the show one other time since stepping down as host–in 2018, as part of a brief recorded sketch that also featured Stephen Colbert and aired on both Colbert’s and Fallon’s shows, but this will mark O’Brien’s first physical visit to the show.

Claire Danes is reuniting with Homeland co-creator and showrunner Howard Gordon for the Netflix limited series The Beast in Me. Described as a mystery thriller, the limited series was created by Gabe Rotter (The X-Files) and has Gordon attached as showrunner and executive producer.
