Conan O’Brien’s Greenland travel special arrives Sept. 3
By Matt Moore
Conan O’Brien delivers his latest edition of Conan Without Borders on Tuesday, Sept. 3.
Just because summer has all but officially ended doesn’t mean we have to stop talking about vacations and travel. And for late night fans, nobody travels better than Conan O’Brien. He will prove that once again with his latest “Conan Without Borders” episode.
Fans have watched O’Brien go everywhere from Israel to Italy to Ghana. After mastering the art of the remote piece, these expanded travel specials are a relatively new chapter in O’Brien’s career and have become wildly popular.
Anyone who has watched O’Brien interview guests on Conan or facilitate discussions on his podcast “Conan O’Brien Needs a Friend” know how much the comedian enjoys talking with people. This often includes O’Brien making himself the butt of a joke or acting the fool in order to get those around him to relax and engage. It has been the ideal strategy for traveling to different parts of the world and immersing himself in the culture.
The latest travel destination is Greenland. No destination should be unexpected at this point but the decision to go to Greenland does have its reasons. It comes on the heels of President Donald Trump suggesting the U.S. was looking in to purchasing Greenland from Denmark.
This is similar to when O’Brien decided to head to Mexico following Trump’s disparaging comments about Mexicans and plan to build a Mexico-funded border wall. Another example is when O’Brien went to Haiti after it landed on Trump’s list of “shithole” countries.
O’Brien has already been giving fans a preview of his time in Greenland via social media. Posts on Twitter and Instagram definitely have us excited to see the full episode.
