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?

Team Coco is going liiiiiiiiiiiive.

Starting at 1 p.m. ET (right now!), you can partake in an experiment of voyeuristic proportions unseen since the series premiere of Big Brother as Conan O’Brien gives us a 24-hour look at the shenanigans over at Team Coco HQ.

The preview is below, and you can watch the feed at O’Brien’s YouTube channel.

In the name of sanity, I propose we all take shifts and watch for things worth mentioning to the EW community at large. Who volunteers to recap hour 1? I’ll go brew the coffee… READ FULL STORY »

Conan O'Brien drives off a cliff in car filled with explosives, popcorn

Tags: , , , Television, TV

Conan O’Brien sure is spending a lot of money on plugging his impending late night talk show Conan on TBS. In this latest clip — which will play as an ad in Regal movie theaters as well as on your computer screen — he “drives” a 1969 Dodge Dart filled with explosives, fireworks, and un-popped popcorn off a 900 foot cliff. This single two-minute-and-twelve-second clip looks like it cost TBS more than NBC’s entire promotional budget for The Tonight Show with Conan O’Brien, but mostly I’m enjoying the sight of O’Brien in a leather jacket. Shockingly, it works for him. Check out the clip below:  READ FULL STORY »

conan-obrienImage Credit: TBSNo one knows what the format of Conan O’Brien’s upcoming TBS talk show will be exactly, but after previewing some exclusive promo pics, our esteemed, scientific guess is: Gap commercial. Conan’s looking super-casual in a zip-up sweater and facial scruff. Is relaxed-fit Conan too cazh for cable? We say no! After the break, EW.com’s exclusive first look at the many faces (and legs) of Conan. READ FULL STORY »

Tags: , , , , Television, TV

With Conan’s new show launching on TBS in about a month, it’s encouraging to see that he’s busying himself with even the most minor prep details. Trim beard? Check. Polish desk? Check? Writhe on sudsy desk like a 1980s stripper while Def Leppard’s “Pour Some Sugar on Me” blasts? Um, check? READ FULL STORY »

Does Conan's new print ad mark the peak of owls?

by
Tags: , , , , , Television, TV

Here’s the new print promo for Conan O’Brien’s upcoming TBS series, Conan! Conan is wild and nocturnal, like a wise old owl.

Owls are having a moment, you guys. Owls are EVERYWHERE. There’s a movie coming out Sept. 24 from the makers of Happy Feet called Legend of the Guardians: The Owls of Ga’Hoole. It looks like The Lord of the Rings but with owls. Also, correct me if I’m wrong, but hasn’t there been a recent and sort of annoying resurgence of owls-as-ironic-kitsch-symbols-for-”ironic”-hipsters trend? That’s a thing, right? Owls are EVERYWHERE. Owls! They sponsor my favorite craft fair! My sister just bought an owl necklace and it wasn’t some thrift-store find donated by my second or third grade owl-obsessed oddball teachers!

I just hope this is not the peak of owls. I’ve had a soft spot for the species ever since the aforementioned teachers used to hide them all over the classroom. I’m convinced that these women and their owls were chiefly responsible for my twisted compulsion to mine the dark pits of reality television for hidden gems.

Ever had an Owl Person in your life? Have you had it with owls, or do they still have a ways to soar? I can’t believe I just typed that either.

Conan-OBrienImage Credit: Jay Brady/Everett CollectionJust two short months before the premiere of Conan O’Brien’s new TBS late night show, the former Tonight Show host has finally announced the name. After leaving fans and industry folk alike wondering for weeks months, O’Brien revealed in a YouTube video released this morning that the name of his program will be Conan. Or Conaw? Doesn’t matter — you choose. It’s cable — anything goes!

So it looks like O’Brien’s keeping it simple. But, then again, Conan slips off the tongue much better than The Masturbating Happy Bear Hour. (Because you know we’ll be picketing if the character doesn’t make it onto O’Brien’s new show…screw any legal rules barring Conan from bring along his Late Night characters!) Watch the late night talk show host’s video after the jump! READ FULL STORY »
