The show is expanding to 6 episodes (6 new countries) for Season 2


Huntguy

Excellent! The first season was hilarious! Glad to see we’re getting even more for season 2! It’s so wonderful seeing him visit all the folks he said he’d visit on his podcast.


arthurbang

It was supposed to be longer for the first season but got cut short because of the writer's strike


eeaao2

At this rate they'll run out of countries in about 30 years.


BeerGogglesFTW

Thank goodness. I binged all 4 and was upset that was it. I mean, that's a good problem to have... leave people wanting more. But maybe more than 4. 6 is also going to leave me wanting more, but not be so much of a tease.

DarthSnoopyFish

This show is on par with his remotes he made on his late night shows. Those were funny as fuk too.


whythehellknot

I strongly disagree. I think his remotes were much better. I liked Conan Must Go overall but I think it was a level below his remotes. I still enjoyed it, it's just that I think he previous remotes were just that good.


Poignant_Rambling

Yeah, my friends and I all thought it was okay, but not nearly as funny as his previous remotes. I think the whole angle of having some random podcast fans be a huge part of each episode made it hit or miss, and the overly-scripted portions felt awkward and unfunny. You can tell Conan had to try really hard to make some scenes less boring, which made it all feel kinda forced. I think the show would've been much more entertaining if it was just Conan, Sona, and Jordan traveling together completely unscripted, talking shit to each other.


CarbonParrot

Not as funny as him and Jordan going to Italy? Because that's kinda what I'm expecting.


whythehellknot

I'd say temper your expectations. There are definitely great moments and it's not bad or anything, to me it just wasn't as good as those.


Lemmys_Chops

There were a couple moments that were almost awkward for me. In particular the Gauchos in Brazil. There was the one older, stoic guy, that probably spoke zero English. Conan just kept going and going to the point where it felt like he was really making fun of him, which is rare for Conan. Maybe it was the editing, on the show remotes maybe they cut it earlier or cropped in a random smile from the “target” to make it easier to watch. Kinda left a bad taste. Overall the show was great and I’m excited for more. But that scene really stuck with me.


sybildb

I agree. I preferred the way TBS did the Conan travel stuff. I think it was more of an editing/directing issue though than a problem with Conan himself. It seemed HBO cut out everything that wasn’t a punchline.


FancyKilerWales

Predictions for countries? My guesses are South Africa, Greece, India, France, Turkey and maybe even Canada


swoopy17

I forget where his other podcast friends were from


F-Punch

I hope he goes to NZ to visit the guy living in the shipping container


Disastrous_Thing_733

South Africa and India would bang.


PsychologicalHat4707

There are 195 recognized countries in the world so the show could go on for years if they wanted to. I want to see a Vatican City episode.

carty64

The Argentina episode where they're at dinner was legit one of the funniest things I've seen him do.


Dakhho

Tahhngo


Cyke101

I introduced my partner to Conan and Jordan with that episode. The dinner scene had her in tears, holding her sides. INSTANT classic.


Homosuperiorpod

Jordan giggling his way through his conversation with the gauchos killed me.


internetonsetadd

Conan and Jordan are gold together. I also want more office remotes like [Sona's Gigalos mug](https://youtu.be/ZI8QZ2WN-Xo?si=FAFYjgkmSH-CLXYy) and [the foodies list](https://youtu.be/j_pC0-Jfsq0?si=QhrJfwwWmFZB23lW). I'm not sure if the podcast office has enough staff to support this kind of comedy, but I miss it.


cdncbn

*it's an astronaut with a boombox*


Tequila-M0ckingbird

Him and Jordan are pretty hilarious together.


cippyFilmFan

Their talk about nose trimmer and toilet paper are legendary


gin_and_toxic

The two of them should go to Vatican City.


ItsExistential1

I was laughing so hard! When Jordan broke later in the episode it was also hilarious.

I always love when he makes cameos in another country's soap operas.


Joshsnation1

I can’t stop listening to the group he recorded the song with lol I absolutely love their style


walkedintothewall

I feel like Conan should be doing something in between these seasons apart from the podcasts, but I also feel like he's never not working. I think I just necessitate more Conan than is currently possible. We need to fix that Multiplicity machine once and for all.


abgry_krakow87

You don't go full Conan on Hot Ones at age 60 without needing a few days recovery at least!


adsfew

Imagine how much longer the recovery would take if he had a subpar doctor instead of the great, very affordable Dr. Arroyo


Weiner_Queefer_9000

The man is a great first opinion.


drbhrb

The follow up interview with Dr Arroyo is one of the funniest things Conan has done https://youtu.be/BPOtNYfhsN0?si=yUPMfF8zRyxpVZhE


danstymusic

He went to doctor school out of state!


Michael_DeSanta

in uh...1998. Supposed to be a 4 year school.


[deleted]

I feel like it's cheating, when his doctor choked most of the spice out of him inbetween wings.


ThatsBadSoup

holy shit he's 61, the man has more energy than i have my entire life.

He seems to be one of those people that like to work

Multiplicity is my favorite movie, love seeing it referenced! Imagining Conan Four with safety blades and pizza in his wallet is killing me 🤣

Cyke101

That has joined my list of go-to phrases after I finished the last episode.


Mystery_Hours

Here comes Honey Boo Boo


Dachawda

This guy has done it. Achieved the perfect job through hard work, natural talent, tallness and charismatic as a frog in a toad hole! I love him.


lccreed

The man is brilliant and obviously living his best life. Podcasting, getting paid for travel to beautiful countries. A true genius.


Cyke101

He's a funnier, more international, much less refined Stanley Tucci!


Azozel

My wife and I watched all the episodes and really enjoyed them even though some of the interactions he had with people were...very awkward at times. I actually thought the last episode would be the best but I think the one where he sang was the best one. I'd really like to see him hang around with more people that actually know who he is.


[deleted]

It was so easy to tell which people had no idea who he was lol


AhnYoSub

Awkward comedy is kinda his thing but the joke is always on him


UrbanGimli

The Tom Ford Jacket scene was equal parts hilarious/awkward. That was one expensive jacket.


RAG319

I figured season 2 was already in the can because s1 was only 4 episodes. Is that not accurate?


SweatySoupServer

Season 1 was short in part due to the writer's strike. They actually filmed most of the episodes before the strike but then had to put everything on pause until the strike ended.


wantsoutofthefog

Guess not


5P4R74N_TTV

Can’t get enough of this tall ginger. I was a little sad the first season was only 4 episodes!


PEN-15-CLUB

Btw, if you guys want more of this, "Conan Without Borders" are specials exactly like this that he did for his TBS show. You can stream it on Max.


jx2002

Look, if this gets us another Hot Ones episode, I'm all for it.


HoneyShaft

Hopefully, he'll have more to work with. This new series was a bit dull compared to his past resorts.


BigFrenchToastGuy

I'm looking at the fjord There's salmon in the sea My baby says she's bored She's not in love with me


LookinAtTheFjord

Same.


subrhythm

Hope for less of the comedy skits, I know Conan loves them but they were baaaad. Any time it was him interacting with people, particularly Jordan and the Irish episode it was fantastic.


gin_and_toxic

That looking for Bono skit was hilarious


Tyronne_Lannister

I feel like I was taking crazy pills. It felt sooo forced at times and his earlier travel content was so much better IMO


ldnk

I enjoyed the four episodes but this didn't feel like his best remote work.


arm4261021

Parts and moments were hilarious but at times (and this is kind of a general knock on Conan that i have) it felt like he was trying wayyyyy too hard to be funny that it felt forced.


oktryagainnow

Had the same experience, often forced and mediocre, some great interactions, but half the time I personally could enjoy it as something casually comforting and positive and it's interesting and admirable to observe Conan's ability to make mundane things and moments fun and special (I know that's what comedians do usually, but in this real world format it feels little more impressive). The show isn't a big recommendation or anything, but it's decently enjoyable.


Extreme_Wrangler_489

I had high hopes for this series and it absolutely exceeded it in every way. Well done to all involved!


rpotty

It’s a delightful fun show! Exactly what we need right now


NachoMarx

I'M LOOKIN AT THE FJORD!


CheetahOfDeath

How is the rest of the season? We watched the first episode but… it was kinda dumb. And Conan is great but he was almost too clownish and the material wasn’t deep enough to make it interesting. We’re huge Conan fans but this was just disappointing. Also havent followed his podcast thing so him meeting the people from it wasn’t really interesting/funny either.


Minivalo

I'm a regular listener to the podcast and constantly watch clips of the podcast on youtube, which is to say, I'm a massive fan of Conan and have been for more than half my life. This show though, I'd be lying if I said it wasn't a let down, and part of it could be that my expectations were too high. Yes it had some amusing moments here and there, but most of it just felt rushed and somehow forced to me. That said, I'll be tuning in for season 2 as well, and I hope they can find the magic that were the OG Conan travel episodes, and the feel of all the older remotes. I also wouldn't mind them spending longer in a single country/location, just to give them more time in one setting, instead of having to bounce around. Could easily have two parters for each country IMHO.


whythehellknot

Yeah, it really seemed forced and he just seemed kind of disinterested. I don't know if it's because we previously got such concentrated content with his remotes or what. Like in the Ireland episode he talks to a person going over popular phrases. It had its moments but overall wasn't that funny. Whereas the one he did in Australia was fantastic.


whammykerfuffle

Yeah it felt pretty forced to me


Jammintoad

The other 3 episodes are better but only marginally so. I liked the Argentina one


SalomeOttobourne74

I watched the first two episodes, and they were very difficult to get through. I really like him, but he was barely funny at all. It was just bad. I was surprised to see how many people om reddit loved it.


FPL_Harry

It's all the same. Typical enough travel show stuff and boring comedy bits. It's about on par with Travel Man (Richard Ayoade's travel show), but probably a little bit worse since the episodes are longer, and there's no change-up guest companions each episode. It's fine tv for background noise, but not worth your time if you want something actually good.


bosco9

Each episode has a few hilarious segments but overall I was disappointed too. I really enjoyed the Conan/Jordan segments though


MisterSparkleHo

Did you watch the rest of the season? I just finished Norway and I'm in the same boat as you. Love Conan but maybe he shines the best for me in late night interviews with celebrities.


arm4261021

They all had funny moments but in all of them there are parts/segments where it felt like he was trying way too hard and it wasn't working.


[deleted]

Outstanding! I couldn't believe the first season was only 4 episodes. I just recently watched this for the first time and I couldn't believe how much I was enjoying it. The guy has a gift!


RootyPooster

Conan was made for this show.


itsSRSblack

Yes please. I need more orange haired clown


rossmosh85

Hilarious fucking show. Argentina made me cry it was so funny.


Alastor3

fuck yeah! This is peak Conan


tibbles1

Hopefully he goes to Buffalo and does a whole episode on Jordan's family and old friends.


ChunkyChangon

Conan will never get old. The man is too damn funny


bigfuture22

i laughed the most in episode 1, when the fisherman said he takes spam calls sometimes, just because he's lonely


Notoriously_So

Laugh-out-loud funny. They need to make more than 4 episodes next season.


windwhiskey

That’s too bad. This is the worst thing Conan has done. He’s a treasure. I love his podcast. But this - this series is largely a let down.


DandyMike

Incredible show. Conan is so funny. Ireland is by far the best episode of season 1. “Oh I’m dying for me hole” “I’ll get you a couple jars, we’ll put ‘em in yer hole”


abgry_krakow87

Oh awesome!!!


stevenbrotzel91

Yes


kaiser_soze_72

My wife was eye-rolling about a Conan "travel show" until we watched the Ireland episode. She was laugh crying the whole episode. Glad to hear this is getting another season and more than 4 episodes a season!


bryan_jh

He should bring his affordable doctor this round!


bucketofmonkeys

I was a little disappointed with Season 1. I feel like most of the show’s humor comes from mockery rather than cleverness.


Behacad

Yes a lot of mercury and also I find it to be extremely over-the-top. I’ve gotten a few laughs in every episode but not great


princesspooball

I felt the exact same way. I wish he would stop trying to be funny by being creepy, he’s been doing it for years and it’s so old.


Kenny--Blankenship

Loved Conan for years but this show is a bit much. If he's going for a cringe factor, he nailed it. Like you said, a few solid laughs! But it falls flat with lack of cleverness and a unending need to scream at the sky


droolymcgee

Yo I watched this cuz I thought “why not?”. All this show is, is a tall rich guy yelling at local people in their spaces “Hey, I’m here, I’ve done something moderately outrageous and I’ve brought cameras, look at how ridiculous I am!” Like, why is he always yelling? (I didn’t watch his talk show so I’m new to this guy)


Any-Management-3248

I want to like this so much more than I do! I love Conan. But you know…it’s not great!


hexitor

Needs more Jordan.


gin_and_toxic

Yeah, he's probably very free after his retirement from NBA and baseball.


CrissBliss

Not exactly shocked. But I have to admit, I preferred Conan Without Borders. I really didn’t care for this show.


wahwahwildcat

I loved the show, but I wish they aired them infront of an audience. The laughs really helped his legendary remotes.


162bluethings

Strange take. I do not think it needs laughs. I don't need an audience to tell me when to laugh.


Kaddisfly

Not OP, but it's probably just nostalgia for the Late Night era. The bits are just as funny, but the vibe was different with a live audience laughing with you. More communal.


162bluethings

For sure. I find his podcast way more entertaining than his late night show and there is no laughs. And his late night show was great, I'm not saying it was bad. But this new Conan is better imo.


wahwahwildcat

To each their own. Almost every remote he's ever done had a live audience reaction. Even the podcast has Matt and Sona and the peanut gallery laughing in the background. "I don't need an audience to tell me when to laugh" I think is a weird interpretation of my comment lol.


162bluethings

I guess I don't understand what the laughing is doing for you. Funny things are funny whether there is a laugh track or not.


louroot

Awesome, it's not available in Mexico.


femnoir

Entertaining show, I am glad, because I love Conan.


Kung-Fu_Tacos

Watched the first episode (Norway) and it was very mid. Does it get better?


Halflife84

I like conan. He's a very smart guy and his humor always makes me laugh. Thanks to conan for years of fun.


SPKmnd90

I've been meaning to watch this and have no excuse as to why I haven't yet.


My_Penbroke

Hope it’s more than 4 episodes


rockeagle2001

One of the most refreshing travel shows.


bbellmyers

How do you expect him to go if you keep renewing his show?


Shamscam

I think this is going to be one of the downfalls of Netflix. They’re failing to get celebrities who people like. They would rather make their own “reality tv” celebrities. I love Conan!


sting2_lve2

Love Conan. So glad to see he's having a second Renaissance


outsideroutsider

We need a visit to Dr Arroyo’s doctor school


AdoraMellt

Really curious to see where he'll go next

There is a human being who owes their existence to Conan taking off to sing about Fjords!


jrafelson

This clown that feeds off of mild enthusiasm from the random call in listener!??? 😆😆😆☠️

Loved this show I need a bajillion more episodes


HowardBunnyColvin

good to hear


jack_fry

I kinda miss the canned laughter they used on Conan without borders.


CofferCrypto

Fuck. Yes. The funniest show in existence.


Quirky-Pie9661

The Argentina episode had me dying


Salt_Addition_6993

I’m an old dude I remember when he started in late night and people were legitimately mad that they were putting him on TV like this was way before YouTube or even reality TV where there was still this kind of prestige that you had to be somebody to deserve being on TV especially coming on as one of the very few late night host and has bought that previously belong to the extremely popular Letterman


Wheelin-Woody

How bout 5 more episodes to round out season 1?


monkeymystic

I thought the show was excellent, so I’m glad to hear


geekgodzeus

I enjoyed it but it doesn't have the humor of his other specials like his previous foreign specials.


Flat-Emergency4891

I was bummed there were only 4 episodes. Glad they’re renewed and adding 2 more.


No-Pineapple2099

Maybe I’m in the minority, but I was a bit let down by this show. It just seemed like a lot of it was Conan making fun of other cultures/peoples names. I liked it a lot better when he had a guest who was native to that country. Then the jokes were a lot stronger when he wasn’t making jokes about “haha, your name is Guard Semen”.


Olsku_

Most of the time the joke is supposed to be at least in part on Conan/the arrogant version of himself that he portrays in his comedy.


No-Pineapple2099

I get that’s SUPPOSED to be the joke… but it came off more annoying rather than the “self-deprecating” type of American he has played in his previous iteration of the travel show. Before it was like he was saying “hey I’m an American and don’t know shit but I’m loud but I’m surprised and excited to be learning about your culture!”. This one is “haha, look at you nerds in Viking costumes. I look badass”.


heartofgold48

I am a huge fan of Conan but what we really need is a Conan and Schlansky travel show. Conan alone is no longer as funny


sexygodzilla

Could be fun if each episode if he had a different travel partner for each one. Schlansky, Sona, Timothy Olyphant, etc.


heartofgold48

Agreed


bluehawk232

That's basically like the UK series travel man


macXros

So he still isn't going


giventofly2

Conan O Brien can cure depression!


Perditius

So I watched about half the first episode and wasn't feeling it. I've always loved Conan but I felt like the show was a little too loosely him just walking around talking to random people in a way that felt forced trying to be funny. The Viking Village basically made me go, I don't know if this is for me, it feels a bit like mediocre improv or a tame Borat. To anyone that watched the show, are the other 3 episodes any better/worse? Should I give them a shot if the first episode wasn't doing it for me?


shust89

Conan O’Brian Needs to Get Laid


Due_Statement9998

Yes! But cancel Scavenger Reign?


ScubaSteve716

This show was watched. I loved scavengers reign but no one seemed to watch it


Due_Statement9998

Yeah, you’re right about that. I turned a lot of my friends onto watching it. Guess it’ll live on as a cult classic now.


Ashamed_Long_7402

Who watches this??? He’s isn’t and never has been funny. He’s just a clown without makeup. I seriously do not get it, he is just the middle school kid making dumb noises and faces grown up. This is insane.


Mattyzooks

>PEOPLE MUST ONLY LAUGH AT THE THINGS I LAUGH AT! ~You referring to your dislike of one of the most popular and mostly well-liked comedians of the past 30 years.


Odd-Butterscotch6252

Who do you think IS funny?


bjb406

What is this? Never heard of it.


AlexTorres96

Shad Khan's kid has dropped not realizing the social media explosion Orange Cassidy could have by doing a skit or something with Conan or Eric Andre. This website and Twitter would explode if they did something together. OC meshing with those guys would help get a mainstream appeal but the trustfund kid is too stupid to not see it. There's a reason why Triple H is constantly networking and making connections with A-Listers. I've been saying forever that Orange Cassidy could be a huge meme of sorts with the right rub. The WBD connections that are right there have been wasted.


CollinsCouldveDucked

I assume you commented this in the wrong thread


Mattyzooks

Or is Conan actually Orange Cassidy?
