Conan O’Brien To Shoot At Largo Keeping Social Distancing
Conan O’Brien is the first host of late-night to shoot his show, Conan out of his house. Yes, while many other late-night hosts continue to host within their respective houses, O'Brien seems to have taken a step further and headed to Largo for shooting his upcoming episodes.
The 57-year-old comedian has made a hesitant move and will soon start to shoot at The Coronet with full production for his TBS talk show. Conan will start the shooting process from July 6 at a comedy club in L.A. The entire procedure of the shoot will be done within the safety protocols and accordance with the government.
While the host use to tape all his shows in Burbank at the Warner Bros studio, this step of shooting with full production seems to be an encouragement for other late-night talk show hosts and probably, we will soon see them following the legendary comedian.
The show will not be exactly the same as there will be no audience but will continue to have a restricted number of staff and crew members. The majority of the members will operate from their respective homes and the host will also continue to shoot interviews through Zoom calls.
The former The Tonight Show host has been continuously shooting remotely since the lockdown began with help of his iPhone including executive producer Jeff Ross. O’Brien told that he started his Improvisational theatre performances in 1986 at the Coronet and he is glad that the way his team had figured out will ensure safely amid lockdown.
When the owner of Largo, Mark Flanagan was reached out by the team of Conan he shared how thrilled he was that they offered him help during such pandemic. Flanagan acknowledged the long history he shared with the host and looking forward to seeing many more years ahead.
Apart from shooting his TBS show that airs from Monday to Thursday at 11:00 PM, the digital version of the show that is updated on Team Coco's YouTube channel is ready to launch a monthly stand-up show live. The live show is named Team Coco Live: Moses Storm & Friends that will start in July and it will also stream on Twitch.
