Max, the streamer formerly known as HBO Max, andConan O’Brienare finally able to unveil their new show together after years of the comedian teasing it. In an ode to his many segments taking to the street and his Emmy-winningConan Without Borderssegments, he’s heading around the world once again with the travelogueConan O’Brien Must Go. The four-part series will see him visiting people he’s met and dove deep with across the globe through his podcastConan O’Brien Needs a Fan. With the announcement came a teaser where he’s shown surprising the fans he’s met through the podcast and partaking in their local culture.
O’Brien enters the trailer clad in Viking garb while embracing the cold of Norway. He doesn’t quite vibe with the getup, but he’s definitely down to meet with some of his fans from the podcast including Jarle whom he previously chatted with about his musical duo. Since they’re now together in person, he gets to take the stage with Jarle, go into the recording booth, and generally mess around with his friend from Bergen. He then heads to Bangkok, Thailand to meet Anna and her mother. While there, he experiences all the wonders the city has to offer from Thai boxing to spicy street food and even buying phallic objects while in the famous floating markets. In general, the teaser sets up a fun twist ona travel seriesthat plays to what made Conan’s many travel segments over the years so beloved.
O’Brien frequently has a blast when taking the team on the go as apparent from hismyriad of hilarious remotesfrom bothLate NightandConan. He’s eager to bring the fun directly to his fans once again, saying of the series, “My fans around the globe never asked me to visit them, so I did.” His ability to gel with just about anyone and generally have fun with whatever setting he’s in was something HBO executive vice president of programmingNina Rosensteinhit on in a statement about the series, saying:
Conan is a national treasure…at least that’s what he keeps telling me. It’s been an absolute dream to work with him, Jeff, and the whole Conaco team. They’re everything you’d hope for – insanely smart, ridiculously funny, and nicer than they’d probably want to admit.
