‘Conan O’Brien Must Go’ Travel Series Gets Max Premiere Date – SXSW

Conan O’Brien’s new international travel series Conan O’Brien Must Go will premiere on Max on Thursday, April 18, the comedian, podcaster and longtime late-night host unveiled today at SXSW. All four episodes will be available to stream.

Max and Conan announced the show last spring. “My fans around the globe never asked me to visit them, so I did,” the Emmy-winner quipped at the time.

It follows Conan as he travels far and wide, setting himself down in Norway, Thailand, Argentina and Ireland, to meet some of the people he had previously interviewed for his podcast Conan O’Brien Needs a Fan — a spin-off of the popular podcast Conan O’Brien Needs a Friend.

Some trailers and teasers of the global goofiness have emerged but today’s session “fireside chat” in a packed ballroom at the Austin Convention Center, rolled out “never before seen” footage.

The show marks O’Brien’s return to the small screen since his TBS late-night show Conan ended its run in 2021. The former host of Late Night With Conan O’Brien and The Late Show With Conan O’Brien has a 28-year run in late night, one of the longest.

Conan O’Brien Must Go is produced by Conaco with executive producers O’Brien and Jeff Ross.
