During last night's episode of the Conan late night television program, the carrot topped host announced the show was headed to South Korea next week to film one of its patented special episodes. This all stemmed from when a Seoul student who wrote to Conan, not to mention sent special snacks, so the host thought it best to go directly to her and thank her. He even made that promise to others. You heard that right guys: send Coco a bunch of junk food and he'll visit you.
Johnny Depp plays Donald Trump in a limited run Funny or Die movie
Easy jokes are easy and who's easier to make fun of today than the biggest loser himself, Donald J. Trump. Comedy website Funny or Die has made a movie starring Johnny Depp (yes THAT Johnny Depp) as the presidential hopeful. This isn't the first time the video streaming service has ventured into random movie making. They tackled Steve Jobs before anyone else in the movie iSteve. The Trump based movie is called Donald Trump's The Art of the Deal: The Movie and runs about 50 minutes. Depp is joined by one of the biggest casts since Wes Anderson's last three movies combined. Supporting characters include Ron Howard, Patton Oswalt, Michaela Watkins, Jack McBrayer, Henry Winkler, Kristen Schaal, Paul Scheer, Christopher Lloyd, Andy Richter, Rob Huebel, Alfred Molina, Robert Morse, and more. The movie takes the form of a made for TV special that has been unearthed after decades of VHS degeneration as it makes fun of the book that Trump wrote in 1987. To make it even more "so 80's," Kenny Loggins recorded the theme song for it. It's only up for a limited time so give it a go.
Andy Richter is hosting a Jimmy Kimmel game show on ABC
It's like the convergence of two different late night TV shows. Andy Richter is hosting a Jimmy Kimmel game show that's based on a bit from the latter host's show. Dubbed Big Fan, the Hollywood Reporter says the six episode weekly series comes from the apparently popular -- although I was hard pressed to find more than the one video of it -- game on Jimmy Kimmel Live called "Who knows...?" in which a celebrity is matched against a fan to answer trivia questions. But ABC doesn't care about establishing new IPs; they want to get into that sweet, sweet late night show sketch turned game show game. This comes after Spike and Jimmy Fallon's Lip Sync Battle became a ratings vacuum and the very same network picked up Caraoke Showdown, a series with similar premise to that thing James Cordon does. Kimmel is, of course, set to executive produce the series.
Watch This 'Conan' Season 4 Supercut
All of the best bits from Conan can't be put into one 4 minute video. There's way too much to fit. Conan and Andy are funny guys that warrant their own compilation. But this is what we're getting. Editors from the show have made a musical video of sorts that mixes the host and sidekick, guests, segments and other comedy goodness.
