Tig Notaro is doing her rounds on the promotion circuit to get the word out about her HBO standup special Tig Notaro Boyish Girl Interrupted. On last night's Conan, the comedienne and host had an oddly serious discussion in regards to Notaro's battle with cancer and resulting double mastectomy. Notaro kept things light, however, in her recaps. Funny or Die is also helping with the special's promotion by having Notaro stand by her own billboard and giving her friends control of her Twitter account.
Conan Finally Shows us 'Conan in Cuba'
Dressed like the gringo kingpin he was always meant to be, Conan journeyed to Cuba - a feat that hasn't been done in 56 years. Now we get to reap in the footage that he and his crew took while there. This is just a small snippet of what he did. He also learned Spanish, rumba, drinks some rum in a box, and visits a cigar factory. You can watch the rest of the playlist here.
Conan Talks Depression, Cuba with Stern and Stewart
Team Coco's ruler and sexual icon Conan O'Brien has made a few appearances on his fellow host's shows to promote his own show. Last night, the carrot colored comedian stopped by The Daily Show in order to talk about the Conan crew's recent trip to Cuba (for a special segment set to air next week). A bit of trivia behind the Cuban quest: they were stuck in a tiny building watching a Spanish dubbed Gilmore Girls.
Conan also spoke with Howard Stern on Wednesday morning about the trip. But, more importantly, the two covered all of Conan's career including writing for SNL and The Simpsons. Depression that was suffered by the host during the early nights of NBC late night was also a topic. Conan remembered he was seeing a therapist during the first few weeks of Late Night:
“I’m lying there and I said ‘You know, man…I really think no one likes me, I think people hate me, I think people think I’m not good at what I do, and I think people want me to go away.’ And my therapist said ‘Listen, these are voices in your head, okay? We all have those negative feelings, but they’re just feelings — they’re not real.’ And I said ‘Fuck you, it’s the cover of USA Today!’ [laughs] And I held up the magazine. That’s the greatest thing you can do to a therapist. I said ‘Oh no no no no — it’s right here.’”
Eric Andre is a Monologist, Better than Conan
Two days in a row with a Conan video? I treat you TOO well. On last night's episode, Eric Andre told Conan that he is the best monologist in the world. Andre proves it with the help of a very, very supportive audience member (played by fellow Andre, Conan writer Andres du Bouchet).
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.
