Back when 45 declared that Mexico was going to pay for the wall between them and the US and they said they weren’t, things seemed strained between the neighboring countries. Conan O’Brien decided to take matters into his own hand to mend relations between us and them by taking his TBS talk show down to Mexico City. Tonight at 10p, we see what happens in Conan Without Borders: Made in Mexico.
The show opens up with him going to the Border Fence and trying to get into the country. They were obviously smart and didn’t want to let him in. He sneaks past them and now it is time for him to entertain the Mexican studio audience with some jokes in Spanish. He didn’t want them to get lost in translation like it does here in America. Sorry, Conan I had to. They laughed as hard as you will.
Anyways, next he shows them what happens when he asks people on the streets of Mexico if they will pay for the wall. Their answers are what you would expect, no but with explanations why. They love America and don’t want the divide that a small minority of Americans want.
In fact, this sentiment will be heard loud and clear when Rogue One’s Diego Luna talks to Conan about that topic and so much more during their interview. We will also see Conan join a Mexican telenovela, dance and play with a street band, learn how wrestle with the Lucha Libre and interview former Mexican President Vicente Fox.
He actually did a whole lot more like go to a Quinceañera, but there was only so much he could fit into the one hour special. A special that will be special to both sides of the border. One that needs to be watched by all, so we can tell 45, “Mr President, Don’t build that wall!”
