Nick Kroll on Conan
On Thursday, Feb. 7 Conan welcomes comedian and actor Nick Kroll back to the show. Kroll is a fan-favorite and always gets a big laugh out of host Conan O’Brien.
Kroll’s career has been on a steady rise the past few years. After his Comedy Central sketch show Kroll Show ended in 2015, he’s appeared in Bob’s Burgers, The Simpsons, and Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt.
Kroll received tons of praise for his collaboration with comedian John Mulaney for Oh, Hello. The two used characters first appearing on Kroll Show and developed it into an off-Broadway show and Netflix special. Some of Kroll’s best appearances in late night, including on Conan, have come when paired alongside Mulaney.
The comedian is also the co-creator of the Netflix animated series Big Mouth. That show recently had its second season released and a third season announced. On Feb. 8, Netflix will drop a Valentine’s Day special episode of Big Mouth that Kroll will promote on Conan.
Conan O’Brien has mentioned that his show’s new format allows him to do more of his brand of comedy and talk to the people he wants to interview. Nick Kroll certainly fits in with the type of comedian O’Brien loves to interview.
