A documentary on Conan O'Brien's comedy tour of the U.S. and Canada after leaving his post at "The Tonight Show" and severing his relationship with NBC.
Filmed during his infamous "break" from television, Conan O'brien Can't Stop is a glimpse into the manic life of everyone's favorite unemployed (at the time) comedian.
As par for the course at the time, there was a candid discussion of the NBC nonsense, and you can see that it really did hurt him. But he'd tell you himself that that buyout helped the healing process. Can't Stop didn't touch too much on his private life, just his work ethic and work-ahol-ism. He drives his employees crazy, but they are family too. His loyal staff including his P.A. Soma, help him through this tour and provide laughs as well.
Mmm...Come for the laughs, stay for Soma...brown-chicken-brown-cow.
What I learned from watching this documentary:
- Conan needs to perform. He has to.
- The "Legally Prohibited From appearing on Television Comedy tour" was a success
- Each arena was sold out
- He regularly stays behind to sign autographs
- He genuinely loves his work and loves his fans even more so
- He is a pretty good guitarist
Out of Ten? 10
It is still a documentary, so don't be surprised at the lulls. However, even at his most depressed, he manages to be entertaining. Conan O'Brien fans, you will love this one.
Violence? No
Explosions? No
Nudity? No
