I'm Loco For Coco

If you love documentaries, check out Conan O' Brien Can't Stop.

Remember the "Legally Prohibited From Being Funny On Television" tour Conan did after NBC dumped him from the tonight show? (Side note: If I was paid $40 million, I would be OK with "being dumped" too.) This movie chronicles how that tour was created and what it looked and felt like behind the scenes.

I won't give you a play-by play account of all the funny scenes in the movie. See it and you'll laugh. You'll see that Conan is always "on" and always laugh out loud funny. He's funny on the show, funny with his wife, funny with his staff, and funny even when he's stressed.

Like any good documentary, you'll also learn things you might not have known. You'll learn being famous can be fun, glamorous, and rewarding, but lonely, exhausting, and stressful all at the same time. You'll also learn that Conan loves his audience and is thankful for them, even though it seems at times, he doesn't quite understand the way they show their love for him.

But at least he interacts with his audience. He creates a conversation with them. He lets you behind the curtain. David Letterman doesn't do that. Jay Leno sure doesn't do that. I keep up with Conan's show through Facebook, Twitter, and the Conan app and almost never watch the show on TBS (sorry, Conan, I know that doesn't help the ratings, but I'm old and can't stay up late.) I do this because he's funny, he's honest, and he cares. At least that's what I think. See the movie and let me know if you agree.
