Conan O'Brien Must Go

He can pretty much do no wrong with us and we were so excited to watch his new show - another gem by Conan! Very entertaining to see him in Norway. It's a nice way to see the culture with his usual brand of humor. Several times we laughed out loud. So nice to see him out of the studio and exploring with his funny observations. Love him in his podcasts but his remotes have always been our favorite. What a nice way to tie in meeting his fans with a new show! Very nice views of Norway, the fjords are beautiful!

He's hilarious per usual as he takes us on his travels. We love it! Please continue making these.

I'm just gonna cut to the chase here without any detailed spoilers. Overall I think it's a bit of a 'cheap' concept for a travel show. A lot of scenes felt wayyyy too long, others too short. When someone has an interesting story, Conan tries too hard to make a joke. You're traveling to interesting places, Conan! Let us hear people's stories also! You did so magnificently in the past, and knew when to joke/not joke. He's overstepping his shtick here sometimes (in my opinion), and that's a shame.

I'm still giving it a 7, because when it wasn't so forced, it was absolutely HILARIOUS. The imagery was also breathtaking.

Enjoy it for what it is, but don't expect a masterpiece. Maybe season 2 will be better! I really hope so.

Everything on the episodes is perfect, and when the show starts recording again for the part 2, put Jordan in every episode, for the love of god.

Is a brilliant and hilarious travel series. Conan's comedic humanity shines as he interacts with people in Norway, Thailand, Argentina, and Ireland. The show combines wit, absurdity, and heart, making it a must-watch for comedy fans and continues to deliver uproarious laughs and unexpected moments. Conan's irreverent humor and genuine curiosity make this travel series a standout. Whether he's sampling exotic foods or attempting local customs, Conan's antics keep viewers entertained. A must-binge for comedy enthusiasts.

Long time Conan fan here. Religious podcast listener and have watched tons of clips of him on YouTube. Watched basically all his remotes and loved them all.

I believe like myself, many people have anticipated Conan O'Brien Must Go ever since the TBS nightly show went off the air. Well, the new show definitely has the old Conan recipe: traveling, interacting with locals, funny improvs, etc etc. Definitely worth watching.

But I really believe that this format still has a lot of potential. A lot of things that I miss about the old travel shows are unfortunately absent. Real laugh track from a live audience (definitely a conscious decision from the production team), not too much multi-cam setup and fancy editing (which makes the new show feel a bit contrived), and just more organic interactions (either with locals or someone on the team like Sona or Jordan). Like some comments said, I feel the new show is trying too hard in some sense, making the jokes feel contrived. I don't think there are a lot of clips that I will be watching over and over again like those from Conan's travels in Armenia, Japan, Isreal, Australia, etc. I believe that Conan really shines when there isn't a lot of budget, post-production, planning, and scripting. Maybe the expectation from HBO and even himself is too high, but I think it surprisingly hurts the show. Let him take it easy and relax, and actually enjoy the travel and bantering with whoever is on the show with him. It really doesn't need to be "polished" to be a good and funny show.

Nevertheless, I would recommend everyone to watch it still. I'm just having high hopes for the next season.

As others have mentioned, some portions felt like they went on too long. Were they trying to pad the episode to meet the length requirement? Or was it a conscious decision in order to make things seem awkward? Well, either way, it didn't always quite come out right in my opinion.

Beyond that, no argument from me that some stuff was funny and seeing various locations and meeting people is interesting. You can tell some of the fans didn't work out so well as their screen time was cut drastically. Which I suppose is bound to happen.

In some portions the only plan seems to be to try to offend people or be outlandish, but Conan is a seasoned comedian and shouldn't have to always do that in order to make humor. So that seemed like the biggest negative. But comedy is subjective and can be difficult, so it's also understandable.
