Amazingly enough, given all the 'Tonight Show' commotion of late surrounding Jimmy Fallon's triumphant ascent to the throne vacated by Jay Leno in 2014, and most people are turning to Conan O'Brien for a reaction.

Kevin Fitzpatrick — Thu, 04 Apr 2013 00:30:57 +0000

Kevin Fitzpatrick — Wed, 02 Jan 2013 20:36:29 +0000

Even if the rumors are to be believed, and Jimmy Fallon is to take over 'The Tonight Show' from Jay Leno in 2014, no power in the 'verse will ever keep Conan O'Brien away from TV.

Kevin Fitzpatrick — Mon, 17 Dec 2012 23:13:10 +0000

For as much as we've enjoyed Conan O'Brien's role as the host of his own TBS show 'Conan,' Jimmy Fallon's increasingly strong work on 'Late Night,' and even Jay Leno's seemingly peaceful return to 'The Tonight Show,' a new storm on the late-night front might be brewing. Some sources are saying that NBC executives have quietly begun searching for Fallon's replacement, in which case Fallon would take over for Leno as host of 'The Tonight Show' in the next few years. Is there any truth to the rumor?

Eric Walkuski — Mon, 15 Oct 2012 16:15:33 +0000

Batman & Conan! Has a nice ring to it, doesn't it? Unfortunately, we may be waiting a long while before TV funnyman Conan O'Brien slinks into a costume and joins the Caped Crusader on a crime-fighting adventure, but we won't have to wait long to see him immersed in the Batman universe. Conan has joined the voice cast of Warner Bros./DC Entertainment's upcoming animated feature 'Batman: The Dark Knight Returns, Part 2'. So who will he be playing?

Damon Houx — Fri, 05 Oct 2012 03:39:17 +0000

J.J. Abrams has long loved keeping secrets from his audience, and 'Star Trek Into Darkness' is no exception. The film is slated to come out May 17, 2013, which means we may yet see a teaser soon (undoubtedly we'll get one before the end of the year). But for now Abrams is only showing three frames.

Remembering 9/11: How Late-Night Comedy Bounced Back After the Tragedy

Nick Romano — Tue, 11 Sep 2012 15:02:29 +0000

The events of September 11, 2001 will forever be engraved in American history as one of the most tragic events, and the most impactful moment of our lifetime. But while the country collectively grieved over the human casualties, none were more affected than the residents of New York City. It was there that the devastation occurred and it was there that the survivors, the families of the victims and the city itself had to rebuild their lives.

At the time, most couldn't find the proper words to address the situation, but despite this challenge, it was left to all the late-night shows and media outlets that we often turn to for guidance to help us make sense of 9/11 and help us move on.

Nick Romano — Wed, 08 Aug 2012 02:30:27 +0000

Shark Week is that one time a year we all eagerly anticipate sitting in front of the tube and getting a load of some crazy action courtesy of our sharp toothed friends of the deep. But Conan O'Brien wants to change all that.

"Forget Shark Week," he said on this week's episode of 'Conan.' Instead of geeking out over the ocean's most frightening creature (other than Godzilla, obviously), Conan recommends that you take a look at his own future hit series Shaq Week.

Nick Romano — Tue, 24 Jul 2012 16:15:05 +0000

Conan O'Brien saw both of the latest teaser trailers for Zack Snyder's 'Man of Steel' -- he saw the luxurious landscapes, the nostalgic image of a child running around his lawn in a Superman cape, and he heard the graceful uplifting music playing just before the most iconic superhero went skyrocketing through the clouds -- and he was not impressed.

Triumph the Insult Comic Dog Returns to Conan, Visits Chicago's Weiner Circle

Mike Sampson — Fri, 15 Jun 2012 12:48:09 +0000

Conan O'Brien has been doing his show live in Chicago for the past week and what trip to Chicago would be complete without a visit to the famous Weiner Circle. The Weiner Circle is known for its tasty hot dogs (and its rude workers who berate the customers). So as an experiment, Conan sent two people to try it out. The nicest person he knows - '30 Rock' star Jack McBrayer - and the meanest person he knows - Triumph, the Insult Comic Dog. Hilarity ensues.

'The Watch' Trailer: More Aliens, Less Neighborhood Vigilantism

Sean O'Connell — Wed, 23 May 2012 16:01:10 +0000

Conan O'Brien seemed as surprised as his audience by the two guests stars on his stage Tuesday night. First, 'SNL' and '30 Rock' comedian Chris Parnell popped up in a sketch led by Deon Cole, but walked off the stage almost as unceremoniously as he arrived. Seconds later, though, Vince Vaughn took the stage with an exclusive new trailer for his summer comedy 'The Watch.' Didn't stay up to watch this live? Don't worry. We have it below.

Fan Corrects Conan on Famous Darth Vader Quote

Chase Whale — Tue, 03 Apr 2012 18:28:18 +0000

For some unexplainable reason, famous movie quotes are often misquoted. We don’t know how or where it begins, but it happens. The greatest misquoted line of all time comes from ‘Empire Strikes Back,’ when Darth Vader tells a confused, broken Luke Skywalker who is father is. Last night on Conan, one of his dedicated fans [...]

Chase Whale — Fri, 23 Mar 2012 13:09:19 +0000

Will Ferrell was a guest on Conan last night to talk about his new film, 'Casa de mi Padre'. During his segment, after discussing a weird sex scene in the film, Ferrell talks about his brother, Terry, who lives on the Warner Bros. lot. You see, Terry used to work on the show 'Gilmore Girls' and after the show ended, Terry just didn't want to leave (rumor has it he is the cause of the show ending).

Conan and Jimmy Kimmel Address Angry 'Ninja Turtles' Fans

Chase Whale — Thu, 22 Mar 2012 18:33:26 +0000

We found out just a few days ago that Michael Bay and company are rebooting the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles franchise, but our beloved teenage turtle-shelled heroes will be "from an alien race and they are going to be tough, edgy, funny and completely lovable." This tough new look completely karate kicks the whole original idea we are all costumed to in the face and fans everywhere are pissed. To make light of all this mumbo jumbo, Conan O'Brien and Jimmy Kimmel separately wrote sketches surrounding the outcry of the fans.

Saint Patrick’s Day is tomorrow, where, if there’s a parade or popular street full of bars in your town area, you’ll find handfuls of drunk heathens stumbling the streets, teeth stained from drinking too much green beer. The Irish know how to drink; young college boys wanting to be Irish for a day, do not. [...]

Yesterday Team Coco introduced a series of new dog breeds from the faux group called the American Kennel Club. This club has "breeded" a new mix of dogs to make our guiltless lifestyles even more comfortable.
