Talk show host Conan O’Brien isn’t going to let coronavirus concerns stop him and has announced that he will return with full, new episodes beginning Monday, March 30th on TBS.
The new shows will be shot remotely on an iPhone, without an audience and with guest interviews being filmed via video chat. O’Brien’s production staff will remain working from home.
“Conan” has been on a pre-scheduled hiatus since March 16th, but due to the coronavirus pandemic he has been filming short videos throughout the week for those who are stuck in self-isolation.
O’Brien says in a statement: “The quality of my work will not go down because technically that’s not possible. Our first priority is the health and well-being of everyone in the Team Coco family, and our second priority is to try and find a way that we can do our jobs safely, from home, and contribute some entertainment for our fans out there who may be hungry for silly distraction.”
