Nonetheless, there seems to be a ton of other guests during the show’s first week who will bring me as much — if not nearly as much — pleasure as seeing the 2007 Nobel Prize in Chemistry winner. I guess I’ll take Jon Hamm. (Please excuse me as I rub my hands together in happy anticipation.)
Here’s the full lineup for Conan‘s premiere week:
- Monday, Nov. 8 – First Guest Poll winner, Seth Rogen and musical guest Jack White
- Tuesday, Nov. 9 – Tom Hanks, Jack McBrayer and musical guest Soundgarden
- Wednesday, Nov. 10 – Jon Hamm, Charlyne Yi and musical guest Fistful of Mercy
- Thursday, Nov. 11 – Michael Cera, Julie Bowen and comedian Jon Dore
Who are you most excited for, PopWatchers? And who’s your DREAM Conan guest?

I think I’m most excited to see Julie Bowen. I love her looks to the camera on Modern Family, like the one she gave when Luke was slurping his cereal yesterday!
Joe Buck
Joe Buck? FAIL
My dream guests would be Jerry Trainor (this guy is the next great funny man – and should be in the Batman film), musical guest Jennette Mccurdy, and other guest could be Brandon Routh – get his reaction to possibly not being Superman anymore (Conan should be able to relate to losing the dream job)
Joe Buck has always been a great guest on Conan’s shows.
Brian, I agree! I wanted Joe Buck, “buddy boyyyy!”
They may have a good rapport but I’ll always despise Joe Buck for tainting my sport memories with his horrible game-calling on Fox.
Better than the guys on TBS who don’t even talk about the game!
I’m with Coco!
His first guest should have been Tom Hanks – but on the 2nd day…should have been Will Ferrell..obviously
agreed. tom hanks should have been first. will ferrell should perform with jack white.
PAUL RUDD. PAUL RUDD. PAUL RUDD.
Also agree that Tom Hanks – official popularizer of the “Coco” nickname would’ve been ideal as guest #1…
Ditto
Who am I most excited to see? Conan, of course; his guests are completely secondary.
I knew Tom Hanks would be there somewhere, I love all the support he’s given Coco!
I actually thought he’d be the first guest. He really started something with the whole “Coco” nickname.
actually, its best that he is not the first guest. isn’t there some bad luck or jinx associated with Hanks being the first guest on a show.
Hanks was the second guest when Conan was on the Tonight Show, so I like this better.
or was that Will Ferrell?
David Letterman!
Obviously. That would be so perfect.
But you know John Stewart and Colbert will drop by at least unannounced
Will Ferrell, being first guest on coco’s past shows will probably make an unannounced visit
They’re already booked there!
Jack White and Jon Hamm. Thank you, Coco!
Soundgarden. White Stripes second. And that’s it for me, really.
REO Speedwagon NEEDS to be the first guest!
Oh no, Michael Cera isn’t going to play the part of Michael Cera again is he? He does that on all of his talk show apperances!
That’s to balance out the week after Seth Rogan plays the part of Seth Rogan.
Charlene Yi? Seriously? Can they not get anyone else?
She is a friend of Conan’s, and is absolutely adorable. Leave her alone.
Seriously. All these people make the talk show circuit every 1-3 months anyway. Who cares who’s first?
Fabio. I still have some of his interviews with Conan from Late Night on VHS. Pure comedy.
Yay, Seth Rogen!
Get Harrison Ford on there, STAT!
YES!!!!!!!!
meh, I like Harrison Ford, but his interviews are almost never, good, he always seems so disinterested, as if it were a great chore to sit down and talk
I saw him once on Conan years ago, when they did the elevator bit, and he was hilarious and a really great sport. Man, I can’t believe how long I’ve been watching Conan. Makes me feel old.
Jon Hamm. I’ve seen him 20 times in the past few weeks, but can you really see enough of him?
No
Not even remotely.
Yes, and he is absolutely the WRONG choice for Superman – random thought
definately jon hamm. this + saturday night live next weekend might be the last i see of him til next seasons mad men. (i don’t want to see that movie he’s in with vanessa hudgens)
Ugh.
Seth Rogen?
Please.
seconded.
thirded
fourthed?
Fifthed.
Yeah, the guests are secondary to having Conan on TV again.
Don’t forget Andy!
I want to see NORM!!!
Yes! Norm is hilarious!!
Yes Norm for the win. I have visions of him being the next poll winner….
Box Office Poison! Norm is talk show gold!
