Late Night: 5 guests to get excited for this week – January 21, 2019

The cast of The Good Place on Conan
Just about the entire cast of The Good Place can be seen on Conan on Wednesday, Jan. 23. Actors Kristen Bell, William Jackson Harper, Manny Jacinto, Jameela Jamil, and D’Arcy Carden will all be guests of Conan O’Brien. Sadly, no Ted Danson but nobody outside of the good place could be so lucky to have the full cast interviewed by O’Brien.
The Good Place is in the middle of its third season on NBC. The comedy is one of the best on television especially if you’re a fan of science fiction, moral philosophy, and the comedy of Michael Schur. While that sounds like a very specific demographic, the show has show impressive ratings and resulted in a number of award nominations and wins.
Anyone familiar with the show is also aware of the tremendous chemistry among the cast. Sure, plenty of people know Kristen Bell and she alone makes for a great late night guest. But the dynamic among her, Harper, Jamil, Carden, and Jacinto is very entertaining.
Conan O’Brien is also no stranger to managing cast interviews. He’s done it with the cast of shows like Breaking Bad and films like Aquaman. Adding to the excitement of his spot with The Good Place cast is that it comes during the first week of the revamped Conan format.
