It takes a certain audience to appreciate Conan O'Brien, but the ones who do don't just appreciate him, they worship him as if he were the messiah sent on Earth. Conan O'Brien Can't Stop could also be called "The Lost Months of Conan" as it focuses on his the six months Conan O'Brien was not allowed to be on TV, the radio, etc. Instead, he went on a forty-two show standup tour called "The Legally Prohibited from Being Funny on Television Tour." The infamous Tonight Show controversy stemmed from NBC cut Conan's run on television, and were hoping to move him past the midnight runtime. Conan refused to do so, and thus NBC payed him $40 million in a send-off package. That is when he couldn't be on TV or any other media outlet for six months.
The documentary shows the tours, the behind the scenes footage of the concert, and even some clips of the concert itself. There are scenes of Conan with his wife and children, in his dressing room, and some scenes where he is visibly overworked, exhausted, but persistent on his journey to provide his fans with the satisfaction of seeing him in person.
Conan isn't the only one stressed here, his support team is also just as overworked and as tired as he is. He tells them what to do, when to do it, and how to do it. He is definitely the one and only boss on this tour.
The abuse they take is sometimes shocking. But I'm guessing what we see only happens so often. I can't imagine the team being treated like this all the time because why would they still be with them? This is probably a bad time to see Conan if you expected him happy and cheery. But even with his hectic schedule, he manages to sport his crazy and over-the-top antics at his concert.
I was never a big Conan fan. I rarely watch his current show on TBS. As for him being funny I think when he is talking into the mic doing traditional standup he can be hilarious and clever, but I think when he is jumping around on stage, doing goofy and ridiculous movements he can be about as funny and entertaining as Jim Carrey. That's not a compliment. If I were to conduct a list of my favorite comedians Conan would be higher than Jim Carrey, but not by too much.
Some of the one on one interviews with Conan, with him being calm and attentive, are actually handled maturely which leads me to believe that when in a calm state of mind, one could carry a conversation with Conan till the end of the day. But when he is sporting the Jim Carrey image I doubt a very meaningful conversation could be held.
I didn't watch him on The Tonight Show, I don't watch really any late night programming. It has never been my thing. But Conan seems like he's doing something right to be getting die hard support from various people across the states. What people see in him, I'm guessing is his out there style, and his dare to be different (sometimes stupid) attitude.
Conan O'Brien Can't Stop shows that Conan loves the sights and sounds of an audience and that has a positive and negative effect on his team and family. Sometimes he treats them more like an audience than close friends. The bravery of embarking on a huge tour out of nowhere right after the rug had been pulled out from under him is stunning and I applaud him for his persistency and his desire to achieve satisfaction from everyone around him. I think that's what we all are looking for in a sense.
