Back in November, Conan O’Brien declared that he would end his TBS show Conan in 2021, with the network officially planning his last episode for June 24. O’Brien will not be disappearing, however, as he’s taking his lanky frame and orange hair over to HBO Max for some sort of new series, yet the decades of watching him on standard TV with ads and stuff will be over very quickly.
Today, through an press release, TBS reported who (most of) his final guests will be, beginning with next Monday’s show and finishing with his hour-long finale on June 24. Before we get to the names, a spoiler: There’s no Paul Rudd on this rundown, which means we probably won’t will see one more Mac and Me clip, however there is one visitor who hasn’t been reported and the press release mentions “special surprise guests” who will fly all through the last fourteen days on the show. That implies they actually may will see Rudd flaunt that Mac and Me kid going over a cliff in a wheelchair once again.
As for the names we do have, here’s the schedule:
- June 14: Patton Oswalt
- June 15: Martin Short
- June 16: J.B. Smoove
- June 17: Mila Kunis
- June 21: Bill Hader
- June 22: TBA
- June 23: Dana Carvey
- June 24: Jack Black
In a to somewhat unexpected bonus surprise, TBS likewise says that Conan will have a studio audience again for these last eight scenes. Crowd individuals should be inoculated and wear veils, however that is a small price to pay for seeing whatever madcap bullshit O’Brien pulls in these last fourteen days. (Additionally, being immunized is acceptable and it doesn’t damage to continue to wear a veil at any rate, if you’re seeing Conan.)
