Review of Conan O'Brien Can't Stop (2011) by Brandon E — 13 Feb 2014

Any Conan fan would love this documentary. Conan Can't Stop only increases the amount of respect that his fans have for him and his show. Two reasons why many may see Conan as an inspirational individual. The first reason is the type of Charisma that many tv greats has had before him. He has the ability to make the audience feel as if he is talking to them personally. Those watching his shows can connect with him on a personal level. From Late Night to Conan, the self-deprecating humor, offbeat comedic antics and unpredictable monolouges gives him that edge as to why he is one of the greatest tv personalities. Whenever a joke bombs on his show he acknowledges it, all of these attributes gives the audience a sense of realism. The second reason is the Legally Prohibited Tour, to me I find it truly unique, for O'Brien. When you look at it he has became a huge tv star, with the success of Late Night and the Tonight Show. After all hell breaks loose with NBC he starts a grassroots tour. It's like seeing a heavyweight champion starting back to square one.

The reason that this is called Conan Can't Stop is due to the fact that Conan is always performing, whether that be on a show,or with staff or family. We almost see O'Brien burnout a bit due to the constant work he puts himself into. For example on his time off from the tour, he decides to put on a secret show in Nashville. Conan Can't Stop Working. But what I love is that this is the Conan we have all learned to love, just a little bit raw and uncut.
