Thechook Posted May 22, 2023 Share Posted May 22, 2023 I had to google him as I've never heard of him. Seems he is an American T.V personality. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sqwakvfr Posted May 22, 2023 Share Posted May 22, 2023 I watched him for years on NBC and TBS. His best days are behind. I saw a few clips of him in BKK and in one bit he actually officiates a wedding. So it looks promising but if it is on HBO it might not have a wide audience. Also, his fan base is mostly Americans so might not have huge impact on tourism into LOS. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post save the frogs Posted May 22, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted May 22, 2023 (edited) Conan is a comedy genius. Hopefully it will be up on Youtube at some point. For now, there is just some "best of" clips. No Thailand in it. But probably won't have a big impact on tourism. It's too silly.

For those who haven't heard of him, he's a living comedy legend who wrote classic episodes of The Simpsons waaaaay back when it was still good, he also wrote for Saturday Night Live, and hosted a scrappy late night chat show for several decades. He now hosts a podcast called "Conan O'Brien Needs a Friend" which really finds him in his element. It's unscripted and he improvises and does bits constantly. He's very likely insufferable to be around in person, but as an entertainer, he's the best. 1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
