I want to start this by confessing that I am a very big Conan fan and I have been since he originally started on Late Night. Something about an awkward redhead that didn't take himself seriously. That being said, this made me see him in a totally different light and that isn't entirely positive.
Conan is at the low point in his career and is obviously upset when he decides to start his Prohibited from Being Funny on Television Tour. You'd think that this would change his demeanor, but that isn't the case. He becomes more and more volatile but still goes through the motions and spends times with his fans but it is so half-hearted. This make the usually lovable and likable guy, not very likable at all. Seeing that changed my view of Conan and show how fake he can be.
That is the brilliance of this doc, a comedic genius trying to keep the laughs going while he is miserable internally. He shows his soft side and how vulnerable he was and manages to crack sarcastic jokes at his own peril. If you expect to see the usual Coco, you could be disappointed but you see a part that TV never shows.
Did you know he introduced NAS and Damien Marley?
