funny travel show
6 May 2024
Conan O'Brien is doing another travel show. In his podcast "Conan O'Brien Needs a Fan", he interviews regular folks and often claims that he would like to visit them. For this series, that's exactly what he does. He arrives at their doorsteps unannounced. He also travels around the individual country with his comedic touch. It is always done with tongue firmly in cheek. Each episode starts with legendary documentary director Werner Herzog trashing Conan in every which way. The self-deprecating humor continues as Conan performs as the clown in his own circus. The regular folks are all fun. They are first fans and try their best to get in on the joke. That's especially true for the rock climber in Bangkok who casually throws every insult at Conan. The best comedy comes from Jordan Schlansky who is unable to hold it together in Argentina. The other best bit comes from the Larry David impersonator. In a world full of travel shows, this is being deliberately funny and it's a good one. It's only four episodes and unknown whether we're getting any more.
