Team Coco will debut Conan O’Brien’s first ever podcast, Conan O’Brien Needs a Friend on Monday, November 19 with guest Will Ferrell.In a partnership with Earwolf, Stitcher’s comedy podcast network, O’Brien’s weekly podcast will run for 36 weeks and feature some of the biggest names in entertainment, music, comedy, literature and any individuals the longest tenured host in late night television is passionate about conversing with.
Over the years and despite thousands of interviews, Conan has never made a real and lasting friendship with any of his celebrity guests. So, he started a podcast to do just that. Deeper, unboundedly playful, and free from FCC regulations, Conan O’Brien Needs a Friend is a weekly opportunity for Conan to hang out with the people he enjoys most and perhaps find some real friendship along the way.
O’Brien added:
“After 25 years of extensive market research we have learned that people want to hear my voice without seeing my face. So rejoice, America.”
