Conan O’Brien is doing something that no current late night show host has ever done, he traveled down to Cuba this weekend to tape segments for his TBS show that will air on March 4th.
He flew down Havana and took in the sights, sounds and culture of the country. Something that has not been seen on late night since the US Embargo went into effect in the early ’60s. This will be a rare glimpse of the country unlike anything we have seen before. Although news programs and networks have reported Cuba, no Entertainment show has done it in recent history. This is unprecedented, so going there on President’s Weekend makes sense.
Now that we have gotten that out of the way, I can’t wait to see what the Cubans think of the tall, white, red-headed Gringo. If he had one too many cups of Cafe con Leche, their impressions of Americans might be tainted. Hopefully we got a few cigars out of the deal before the episode airs on March 4th.
Although from what
Conan O’Brien Tweeted about the experience, I think we are safe. He said, “I just spent the last four days shooting my show all around the city of Havana. I made countless friends and had one of the best experiences of my life. Many laughs, but that could also be the rum. Watch #ConanCUBA March 4th.”
So set your DVRs to record this special episode because this is an hour of television that should not be missed.
