Funnywoman Maya Rudolph stopped by the Conan set Monday night to chat about Oprah, Brangelina and her hit NBC show Up All Night with host Conan O'Brien. But instead of just focusing on "Maya, Maya, Maya," the comedian spends about three minutes revealing her connection to a grim local news story that's made international headlines. more ›

America's favorite ginger Conan O'Brien will personally perform a same-sex wedding during tonight's show on TBS. Airing from NYC, the event marks the first same-sex wedding on late night television. Please note: The wedding is not a comedy bit.

If you wanted to spend the night with Conan O'Brien, you may have just missed a huge opportunity. The talk show host recently listed his TV studio on the renter's site Airbnb, and selected a group of ladies to stay for three nights out of thousands of applicants. more ›

We're always a bit hesitant to believe rumors that "Arrested Development" will hit the big screen and also return to television for one more season. But when Will Arnett confirms said rumors, our minds settle and all is right with the world. more ›

Team Coco strikes again! Need a place to crash early October? If you don't mind being filmed and featured on the Conan show, you might want to arrange to shack up for a few days at the Burbank soundstage that's home to O'Brien's TBS show, which is now being "rented" by Airbnb. more ›

It all starts at 5pm on TCM. --- "Chelsea Lately" is the only late night show with a new episode tonight & it's a great one! --- HuffPo not telling the whole story about comedian (and Chelsea regular) Jo Koy. more ›

The campaign for funnyman Conan O'Brien to have a Los Angeles street named for him is getting serious. Team Coco has pitched and pleaded, and now Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa seems willing to make a trade. He'll indulge in some street talk if O'Brien is willing to do some service for the city. more ›

Not long ago, Conan O'Brien announced that he wanted a street in LA named after him. His plea came about after his long-time nemesis, Oprah Winfrey, had her name permanently lent to a road in Chicago. As part of his request, O'Brien even identified his street of choice: West Raymer Street in Van Nuys. more ›

No new real TV starts until after 10pm tonight so let's reminisce about what we watched over the weekend which included "Game of Thrones," "The Killing," and Conan O'Brien's excellent commencement speech at Dartmouth. --- THR has new panel of comedic actors but it disappoints. --- Joplin tornado charity auction. --- The TV Junkie Must-Watch Plan. more ›

Conan O'Brien gets what he wants. But he doesn't have a street named after him. Not yet at least. Thursday night he showed up with a sign and a call for justice. After all, Oprah has a street in Chicago named after her. "I've been in Los Angeles for 22 months," Conan said. "Isn't it time I got a street named after me?" more ›

Ah, 1997... Conan O'Brien was at the helm of NBC's Late Night, with Max Weinberg and his band as his musical sidekick, and the Smashing Pumpkins were getting Grammy noms for their double album Mellon Collie and the Infinite Sadness. more ›

The whole weekend seems to be building up towards another epic Sunday (in terms of non-sports television). We have the debut of Martha Stewart's "Men Who Make Us Laugh" on Hallmark at 8pm, followed by the season finales of Showtime's "Californication" and "Shameless" and another episode of "After Lately" on E! --- Please check out our TV news items, the TV Junkie Must-Watch Plan, and the listings. more ›

We knew that Scarlett Johansson was to host this weekend's "Saturday Night Live" (with musical guest Arcade Fire) but we didn't know it was to be for the 3rd time (she's only 25). We remember that she wasn't the best of guest hosts the last time she did it or are we confusing her with (yet) another mediocre guest host? Do you think she has the chops to be one of the most repeated female guest hosts for "SNL"? Obviously Lorne Michaels likes her but is there no other voice of reason there? See the promo clip at the end of this post. more ›

Of course "Conan" opened to stellar ratings last night but as we discussed yesterday, the trick for O'Brien will be to see if he can sustain an audience and continue to convert his new media followers into regular viewers of his TV show. It seems highly unlikely that he will be able to keep the same numbers as he had last night, but if he held onto even half of them, "Conan" would be an overwhelming success. more ›

What could be more important tonight than the debut of Conan O'Brien's new show, "Conan", on TBS at 11pm. Books have literally been written in to tell the story of how O'Brien got to this point in his career. Sure he's got Seth Rogen and Jack White guesting but they're not the reason to tune in tonight. It's no surprise that Letterman and Leno have lined up some heavy hitters as guests, from Han Solo to The Terminator but they won't hold a candle to Conan's storming of the late night airwaves. more ›

As the comeback clock counted down, fans gathered outside of Warner Bros studios days before the taping (well, 5 of them anyway), holding vigil for standby tickets in anticipation of the the carrot-topped-one's heroic return to the late-night television. more ›

Check out the demo vid with series creator Kurt Sutter at the end of this post. more ›

In anticipation and promotion of his return to television (Nov 8/TBS), Conan O'Brien has taken to the atmosphere in a bright orange blimp. Until now, only the East Coast was forced to suffer this aerial trauma, but an announcement earlier confirmed our greatest fear, the Conan blimp is coming to the West Coast. Blimps are terrifying. This emotion is best expressed in the 2005 cathartic classic, The Blimp Song. more ›

In anticipation of Conan O'Brien's return to the television machine (TBS, November 8), Team Coco Headquarters is offering a special 24-hour live stream of behind the scenes action from behind the red-haired curtain, today! more ›

Todd Levin is the Director of ABS Community Outreach. The ABS is the Association For Betterment of Sex, of course. It sounds serious -- but not so fast. This association is a group of comedy writers who have released a new book ("written by Association For Betterment of Sex”) called “Sex: Our Bodies, Our Junk.” Levin has teamed up with writers whose credits include: The Daily Show, The Onion, Vanity Fair, Esquire, Radar, and GQ -- Scott Jacobson, Michael Sacks, Ted Travelstead and Jason Roeder. more ›

For the past several years, Erotica LA has been an annual summertime tradition at the LA Convention Center, with Conan O'Brien on his short-lived edition of even mentioning its existence.
