My Review-

I have never really watched Conan O'Brien in the past, but when I found out what NBC had done to him, I was a little mad too. The only thing I knew about O'Brien is that he had written Simpsons episodes, and some of the best ones at that. However this is not about his Simpson days, this is about what happened after he left NBC, and the comedy tour that he did before he started at TBS. In this documentary it seems like we see a very different side to O'Brien, a side that fans probably normally have not seen of him, and people who just know about him. As I kept watching this documentary I found myself liking him more and more, as I saw him for a what he was like, a man trying to keep a living and someone who LOVES his fans, and also treats his staff like shit just to mess with them, when he really loves them. Well the film had many cameos did not stray to much from what it was trying to show us. That he was doing a comedy tour because he had almost nothing to do, because NBC gave him so many restrictions. We see that he does love his fans, and his fans love him, he sold-out Radio City Musical hall in about 15 mins and need to add another show. That many people supported him. We also got to see him and Andy Richter reunited after a few years, and seeing Andy Richter again was pretty damn cool. We also go to learn about his assistant Sona, who was took most of the heat from him since she was always near him, but she took it in stride and played along, because we see that she enjoys working for him. We also see the sort of toll that the tour was taking on him, since he was doing 42 shows and some of them were two back to back, it will be tiring and straining. After watching this I like him even more then from what I saw in the interviews on 60 minutes or on some other news stations, and I will try to watch more of his talk show since, he does seem like one of the nicest people in the world and is a genuine person who can get angry at losing a dream job, or just trying to put on an amazing show for this fans. Now that I have seen this movie I have more respect for this man, and I would love to meet him...Go Team COCO!
