Few documentaries have been as genuinely shocking as director Andrew Jarecki’s 2015 true crime documentary series “The Jinx: The Life and Deaths of Robert Durst.” Using existing media, reenactments and exclusive interview footage of Durst, who had agreed to be interviewed by Jarecki, the six-episode series investigated three unsolved murders in which Durst had been a suspect. It was a captivating spectacle that became a game-changing piece of art when, the day before the series finale aired on HBO, Durst was arrested for first-degree murder after being caught on a recording stating, “What the hell did I do? Killed them all, of course.”
Nearly a decade after winning the Emmy for Best Documentary or Nonfiction Series, Jarecki is back with “The Jinx — Part Two.” Premiering Sunday at 10/9c, the HBO series details the events of the next eight years, during which time Durst was tried and convicted of the murder...

Late-night talk shows were like home when I was a teenager. Social anxieties could disappear, bullies were non-existent, and the humorous, non-consequential words of the hosts would calm me down after a stressful day at school. The comedians who took over TV after 11:35 Pm welcomed me into a universe I belonged to, a complete contrast from the social outcasting I felt in the classroom walls. I could live vicariously through their jokes and joyful scenarios in which the audience cheered and clapped, and nobody’s confidence was shattered by a lousy joke.
Along with Craig Ferguson, Conan O’Brien was a nightly weekday highlight. Conan’s spastic impressions and self-deprecating pokes were a warm fire in front of the TV, a silly distraction for me and so many of his viewers who loved to gather around his aura every night on NBC and then TBS at the dawn of the decade.

If you still forget to drop the “HBO” when talking about Max, take comfort in the fact that Conan O’Brien is in the same boat.
Appearing on an episode of “Hot Ones” to promote his new Max travel show “Conan O’Brien Must Go,” the late night TV legend poked some fun at his employer’s decision to rebrand the flagship Warner Bros. Discovery streaming service after years of calling it HBO Max.
“Is it HBO Max or just Max? I can’t get used to it,” O’Brien said early in his appearance on the chicken wing-centric talk show. “It’s not a better name.”
As the episode progressed — and O’Brien’s tastebuds were subjected to more pain — the comedian became more vocal about his disdain for the rebranding. By the end, he was comically shouting about how he preferred the name HBO.

Three years ago, when Conan O’Brien retired from late-night, it was a very different world. Max was known as HBO Max. TBS was still releasing original series. David Zaslav had just been announced as the CEO of what would become Warner Bros. Discovery. Change was in the air, and now many, many changes have happened.
But Conan remains a constant. Before “Conan” (the late-night series on TBS) welcomed its last guests, its host had already launched a wildly successful podcast, “Conan O’Brien Needs a Friend.” He soon sold his booming digital media business to SiriusXM for $150 million, produced stand-up specials (“Chris Redd: Why Am I Like This?” and “Gary Gulman: Born on Third Base”) and podcast series (from Rob Lowe and Andy Richter), and acted in everything from “Please Don’t Destroy: The Treasure of Foggy Mountain” and “Murderville” to “Weird: The Al Yankovic Story” and “Marcel the Shell With Shoes On.

It’s been nearly three years since Conan O’Brien ended his late-night talk show on TBS, promising a future TV project on the streaming service Max. Now that new project finally has a premiere date: April 18th.
O’Brien made the announcement himself Saturday while previewing the series before an audience at South By Southwest.
Reminiscent of Conan Without Borders, the series of travel specials he produced for TBS, each episode of the new show, titled Conan O’Brien Must Go, will see the former late-night host travel to a different foreign country visiting new friends he’s met through his podcast, “Conan O’Brien Needs a Fan.” The show’s first four episodes will take him to Norway, Thailand, Argentina, and Ireland.
As first reported by Variety’s Michael Schneider, O’Brien told the crowd at SXSW, “there are funny people all over the globe and they all have their own rhythm.

“Conan O’Brien Must Go” is finally going. The long-in-the-works project, announced last year during Warner Bros. Discovery’s upfronts presentation, has been given a premiere date: Thursday, April 18 on Max.
O’Brien announced the premiere date of the show’s four episodes on Saturday at SXSW, during an on-stage conversation with comedian Nick Kroll.
The “Conan O’Brien Must Go” open is narrated by filmmaker Werner Herzog. “I can not confirm or deny the identity of who that person is,” O’Brien quipped.
“Conan O’Brien Must Go” is inspired by O’Brien’s podcast, “Conan O’Brien Needs a Fan” (in which he chats with listeners from around the globe), and follows the host as he meets up with fans in Norway, Thailand, Argentina, and Ireland. Conaco produces the show, with O’Brien and Jeff Ross as executive producers.
O’Brien said the production would spend between a week and 10 days shooting in a country.

Conan O'Brien may have been out of the late-night talk show game for a couple of years, but that doesn't seem to have slowed him down. After "Conan" ended in 2021, the legendary host started his own podcast, "Conan Needs A Friend," which has since spawned several off-shoots, one of which has now formed the basis for a new Conan-fronted show on Warner Bros Discovery's newly renamed Max service.
The streamer just announced "Conan O'Brien Must Go," a new four-episode international travel show that's currently in production over at Max. The idea here is that O'Brien will travel the world to meet fans he previously spoke with on his spin-off podcast "Conan Needs A Fan," in which he chatted with Zoomers around the globe. O'Brien's own Conaco company is producing the show, which is executive produced by the man himself and his longtime producing partner Jeff Ross.

Conan O’Brien is back in business with Warner Bros. Discovery.
The former late night host has set Conan O’Brien Must Go, a four-episode international travel series that sees him return to the conglomerate after Conan signed off in 2021 following an 11-year run.
The new series, which is already in production, will see O’Brien travel across the globe to visit new people he has met through his podcast Conan O’Brien Needs a Fan.
“My fans around the globe never asked me to visit them, so I did,” O’Brien said in a cheeky statement announcing the series Wednesday. The project was formally unveiled during Warner Bros. Discovery’s upfront presentation — where he was a staple during the company’s former Turner presentations that predated the Warner Bros.-Discovery merger.
