Team Coco Launches Weekly Conan OBrien Podcast November 19 CONAN O'BRIEN NEEDS A FRIEND will feature Kristen Bell, Bill Burr, Will Ferrell, Marc Maron, Megan Mullally, Nick Offerman, Dax Shepard, Wanda Sykes, and others.
November 8, 2018
NEW YORK - Team Coco will debut Conan OBriens first ever podcast, Conan OBrien Needs a Friend on Monday, November 19 with guest Will Ferrell. In a partnership with Earwolf, Stitchers comedy podcast network, OBriens weekly podcast will run for 36 weeks and feature some of the biggest names in entertainment, music, comedy, literature and any individuals the longest tenured host in late night television is passionate about conversing with.
Over the years and despite thousands of interviews, Conan has never made a real and lasting friendship with any of his celebrity guests. So, he started a podcast to do just that. Deeper, unboundedly playful, and free from FCC regulations, Conan OBrien Needs a Friend is a weekly opportunity for Conan to hang out with the people he enjoys most and perhaps find some real friendship along the way.
After 25 years of extensive market research we have learned that people want to hear my voice without seeing my face. So rejoice, America, added OBrien.
Beginning with Will Ferrell on November 19, Conan OBrien Needs a Friend will premiere as follows:
Conan OBrien Needs a Friend featuring Kristen Bell Monday, November 26
Conan OBrien Needs a Friend featuring Bill Burr Monday, December 3
Conan OBrien Needs a Friend featuring Dax Shepard Monday, December 10
Conan OBrien Needs a Friend featuring Nick Offerman & Megan Mullally Monday, December 17
Conan OBrien Needs a Friend featuring Wanda Sykes Monday, December 24
Conan OBrien Needs a Friend featuring Marc Maron Monday, December 31
All episodes of Conan OBrien Needs a Friend can be found for free on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, Stitcher, and Google Podcasts.
An extended trailer, which includes clips from some of the upcoming guests, is available at applepodcasts.com/teamcoco.
Conan OBrien Needs a Friend launches while OBrien is hitting the road on his live tour, Conan & Friends: An Evening of Stand-Up and Investment Tips. Team Coco is continuing to build on its joint venture with Turner, aggressively increasing its footprint in linear, digital and live formats by collaborating with a team of established and up and coming comics, adding comedy showcases, touring, specials and podcasts.
The multi-city tour and the Conan OBrien Needs a Friend podcast will allow OBrien to reconnect and interact with his passionate fan base as he gears up for a leaner more agile 30 minute show on TBS premiering January 2019. The new podcast and tour, like upcoming the new format gives OBrien the flexibility to experiment and have fun with his audience in new ways.
