Conan O’Brien Must Go Season 3, Chris Fleming Late-Night Pitch, and Eric Andre Airport Settlement

Johnny Mac reports on Conan O’Brien Must Go season three debuting on HBO Max with four episodes set in India, the Netherlands, Morocco, and the Philippines, highlighting Conan’s approach to choosing locations, improvisation, and embracing travel chaos. He discusses a Harper’s Bazaar profile of Chris Fleming’s Largo variety show and argues for making the 12:30 slot “weird” again by giving Fleming Late Night, citing Mark Maron’s praise and Fleming’s influences and philosophy. The episode revisits Byron Allen’s stance against political humor and his claim that CBS gives him no content notes. Other items include Mariska Hargitay working with Colbert writers on the Emmys, Guillermo from Jimmy Kimmel launching a nationwide salsa line, and Sebastian Maniscalco reacting to Marcello Hernandez’s impression.
