Conan O’Brien Can’t Stop follows the comedian on his Legally Prohibited from Being Funny on Television Tour (that’s a mouthful to type), better known as the thing Conan O’Brien did after the NBC fiasco that left him without a television show. He’s bitter, but the film doesn’t dwell on the controversy; instead its aim is to focus on O’Brien’s showmanship.

His energy is amazing to behold. He’s performing whether on the stage, bus, at home, at the office, greeting hordes of fans or a meager handful—anywhere. If nothing else, the film deserves its title; the man literally cannot, and will not, stop. The 85 minutes breeze by as we see Conan go from Eugene, Oregon (“Should I be nervous that we’re opening in a city where no one lives?”) to Seattle to Atlantic City to Manchester, Tennessee for Bonnaroo, and finally to Atlanta.

Though it may not feel like very long, Conan O’Brien has been off the air for quite some time now. Over at NBC, it’s like we’ve already forgotten that red-haired man that took over The Tonight Show for a brief stint while Leno had his experimental phase. On the web, however, CoCo has been thriving. For 8 weeks, O’Brien and his team have been putting out web videos via TeamCoco.com in which he addresses the fans, takes questions, and keep entertaining. Now, in the dawn of his brand new show on TBS, Conan brings us his first talk show-like format since he was taken off of NBC.

In Show Zero, Conan invites a group of real-life Conan fans to sit in his conference room as the audience as he puts on the fastest talk show in the history of the world. Need legitimacy? His first, and only guest is The Big Bang Theory’s Jim Parsons.

A great idea from Team Coco as they get ready for next Monday’s premiere of Conan on TBS. In the meantime, check out SHOW ZERO after the jump.

Now that the NBC dust has settled, all of the diehard Conan O’Brien fans can put aside their hatred for Leno as the premiere date for the first episode of Conan’s show on TBS draws closer and closer. Well, probably not. But at least we still have the show to look forward to.

Conan is done touring, back in California, and getting things ready for what looks to be the biggest thing to hit TBS since the birth of the network. With that come some amazing new TV spots from the Team CoCo crew which can be considered to be either weird or genius, depending on your outlook.

In the most recent spot, we get a touching moment with an old man and a stripper. See what we were saying? Genius.

Check out the fulfilling moment after the jump and be sure to glue yourself to the TV or DVR for the premiere of Conan on November 8th, only on TBS. Very Funny. Soon to be Funnier.

It feels like only yesterday when we were cursing the names of Jay Leno and NBC for what happened to Conan O’Brien and the entire Tonight Show fiasco. Here we are, 8 months later and Conan is already getting prepped for his new home on TBS.

The late night comedian signed a deal back in April to be the host of his very own show over on the cable network. The show pushes George Lopez’s show to midnight every night, but Lopez was more than happy with the deal as long as it meant O’Brien got to be his lead-in.

While the show is set to start as early as November, TBS has already started prepping their audience with a new 10 second spot. It may only be 10 seconds, but it manages to promote Conan in a bizarre Monty Python-esque way, which seems to be right down our alley.

O’Brien has already stated that he’s bringing his sidekick Andy Richter along for the show, as well as many of his writers that came with him from Late Night and even The Tonight Show. You can expect to see an official premiere date to draw closer, but as for now, we’ll just have to take our Conan dose in the form of a 10 second ad.

Check it out after the jump.

Can’t wait until November for Conan O’Brien’s red-headed mug to appear on TBS? Fear not. O’Brien, his sidekick Andy Richter, and O’Brien’s writers will be part of a one-hour TBS special  to be taped during a Chicago comedy festival next month.

Early reports state that the working title of the show will be “Team Coco Presents Conan’s Writers Live” and will be taped on June 17. Tickets for the show go on sale this Friday.

So, what will “Team Coco” be all about? According to Richter, “the writing staff will create the personality of the new talk show, so the special will give the audience a taste of what the TBS show will be.”

“Team Coco Presents Conan’s Writers Live” is scheduled to air on TBS on June 27.

For those unaware, one of the best and most poignant talk shows isn’t on network or cable television — it’s actually only on Funny Or Die. The show? Between Two Ferns with Zach Galifiniakis. The comedic relief from such films and TV shows as The Hangover and Bored To Death hosts a satire of bad local interview shows with some of his Hollywood friends, and each are funnier than the last.

Lately, he has had such guests as Mad Men’s Jon Hamm, Charlize Theron, and even fellow Hangover star Bradley Cooper. His most recent episode had the dynamic duo of late night TV, Conan O’Brien and Andy Richter. Zach has a bit of a problem with Conan, and he doesn’t hide it very well.

Check out the video behind the jump, courtesy of FunnyOrDie.com, and be sure to keep your eye on Zach G and his upcoming endeavors, as he’s on the way to toppling Will Ferrel for Hollywood’s King of Comedy.

Last night on The Tonight Show, Conan O’ Brian aired a couple clips to pay his respects to the late, great Ed McMahon who died yesterday at the age of 86. Among the great moment he showcased were several clips of Mc Mahon and Carson together, a clip of McMahon visiting Conan and his co-host Andy Richter to play a little game of quarters and Conan and Andy talked a bit about McMahon’s great comic timing.

The clips showcase what a talented and consumate professional McMahon really was and how much Conan and Richter owe to the classic comedic duo of Carson and McMahon that came before them. Check out the clips after the jump.
