No matter where you go in the world, there are certain touchstones that most people share. One of them is the TV weather report. So when Conan O’Brien paid a visit to Greenland’s television studio, it’s only natural that the celebrity was invited to give the local weather report. The only hangup – it had to be in…

By now you’ve probably heard President Trump wants to buy Greenland. While some people think the idea is nuts, Conan O’Brien is intrigued.

Where in the world is Conan Without Borders going next? Conan O’Brien is taking his roadshow to Ghana for his eleventh primetime special in four years. The show taped last night for airing September 17 on TBS. Watch O’Brien announce the trip — joined by Veep‘s Sam Richardson, who is “half-Ghanian — in the video…

Conan O’Brien hasn’t been working his network’s Upfront Week presentation as long as has Jimmy Kimmel, who literally created the franchise 17 years ago.
