Conan O’Brien on The Late Show with Stephen Colbert
If you are upset that Conan is taking the week off from TBS then you’ll want to tune in to The Late Show with Stephen Colbert on Tuesday March 26. Conan O’Brien returns to New York City as a guest.
It is not unheard of for late night hosts to visit each other as guests. O’Brien, a 25 year veteran of late night, has picked Colbert’s Late Show as the one other late night spot he will visit. It wasn’t that long ago that O’Brien was on Colbert’s couch revealing the shocking results of his DNA test.
O’Brien has a lot more than just his own show to promote. He continues to release new episodes of his podcast “Conan O’Brien Needs a Friend.” Colbert was recently a guest on the podcast and the two concluded they must be long-lost brothers.
Conan will be visiting The Late Show a day after the launch of “Conan25-The Remotes.” It is an online collection of all his field pieces spanning back to his start as host of Late Night. The remotes archive is phase one of a multi-phase initiative to get everything O’Brien has done in late night available in one location.
