And I actually like Conan...

While I do feel for Conan having to put up with all of the stupid fanboy BS nonstop all day when he's on the tour, he brings a lot of it on himself. When he's actually backstage or writing with him team (or interacting with his assistant), he's kind of an unfunny jerk. It's cool that he was willing to do something like this and open himself up, but the documentary just isn't *that* interesting, and it made me like Conan O'Brien just a little bit less.

Conan O'Brian seems like a bit of a dick at times, like my worst Industry bosses ('I'm not validating anything you say unless you talk into my fucking bananaphone!'). But, he has to deal with crazy fans, Margaret Cho, and his own ridiculously high expectations of his showmanship. The candid, quieter moments really sell this movie and make it a fascinating look into modern celebrity culture.

"Comes off as a vanity project aimed at giving O'Brien another platform to express his frustration and fury over the NBC fracas." - Nick Schager

I love how that Canadian redneck kid, after being challenged by Conan on the use of the phrase being "Jewed out" of a ticket, changes it to "gypped out" and everything's okay.

Not much to see in terms of production, but the content is pretty fascinating. It could almost be seen as a companion piece to I'm Still Here; together they show that regardless of whether the public adulates or despises a public figure, they're still the same object to shoot with their stupid camera phones. It's incredible how out of touch some of these people are with the reality of the human being in front of them, and even more so how accommodating O'Brien is to them. What a guy.

I'm not really interested in late night talk shows, but I expected this to be a funny documentary. I didn't really laugh. Instead I was made uncomfortable by awkward fan interactions. Pretty disappointing, since I had heard some good things about it. Great, or even good documentaries can force the audience to become fascinated with the most mundane nonsense. There's none of that here in this film. A fascination with O'Brien is a prerequisite, here. This film is for die-hard fans only.

O'Brien is kind of an asshole?

An intimate look at celebrity through a man who seems to rely on human attention and affection in order to survive. His devotion to performance is exhausting. At times he's compelled to reach out to fans even when he's been run ragged. The scenes after performances are the most telling: we see Conan frustrated by endless photo & autographs requests, yet he never loses his cool in front of fans. He can be a jerk to his staff, but only in the moments where he is free to drop the performance act.

Really great doc, and an insightful glimpse of a complicated dancing monkey of a man.

This is a simple document of a man's need to do his work. Conan entertains. That's who he is, for better or worse. For me, the film is most fascinating in this light, following Conan through this strange, cyclical milieu, alternating between adoring fans, invasive fans, and no fans. Conan admirably lets his guard down, sometimes crossing the line as all jokesters are wont to do, but always driving that goofy sense of humor through any situation.

I miss the point in stand up comedy, but the real life part deserves a chance.

Conan O'Brien is very aware of his needy & people pleasing nature. That's what this film is about. It's not about the Tonight Show debacle. It's about an entertainer who is desperate to create any outlet for himself to perform. It's a road trip movie that invites O'Brien's fans to hang out with him on a cross-country journey. There are some things fans might be disappointed by (some say that Conan can tease people a little too harshly), but he's also the genuinely sharp & silly person seen on TV

Very self-absorbed and not much about the feud with NBC or Leno. Guess it depends on how much you like Conan...

i know his on the road show was very difficult but this missed the idea of what a documentary is about, it only portrayed conan as a whiny douche and he's far from that. I wanted him to go off the chain about what NBC did to him really get it all out, but i guess he fueled that energy and did something great for himself to keep him in the spotlight.

Conan O'Brien is amazing. There's not much to say about this docu other than it's hilarious from start to end. The amount of energy and enthusiasm Conan shows even after going for days and days is amazing and shows how much he loves performing and making people laugh. If you enjoy Conan at all this is the thing to watch.

The doc featured a very candid Conan and was effective in portraying him as an overworked perfectionist during his tour, with many scenes of him trying to unwind after his performances (with varying degrees of success). But as a documentary, it could've been better -- the actual show footage was relatively sparse with the majority being from his musical acts; and the movie would have benefited from presenting more voices from his team, at the very least that of Andy Richter.

As a big Conan O'Brien fan I enjoyed this. It's genuinely funny while being full of behind the scenes and very candid moments. It's worth a watch from anyone who has any interest in O'Brien as an entertainer. However, I'd suggest you watch it as soon as possible as the longer people wait to see it the less impact it will have. It will still be funny, but the emotions of the Late Night cock-up will definitely dissipate after a few years and the movie will suffer for it.

aka Conan O'Brien needs your attention. An unflattering, unfocused, unfunny doc about a vain road show.

Meh.

Would be fine if you didn't follow his saga at all from his firing on. To his fans this is a weird space that fan service is just showing us what we already knew.

O'Brien without a producers collar. Cannot stop. There wasn't a raw feeling of exposure though. Conan is too aware of a camera, that or the editing was constrained by agenda, angle or sympathy.

I like Conan a lot, so it was an interesting look at him and his comedy tour. There were some funny parts, some more candid moments. All in all, a very good documentary for fans of Conan. I can't see people who don't like him being that interested in this, to be honest, because it's not like he's this larger than life superstar. He's famous, no doubt, but he's no Justin Bieber -swoon-.

This can only really be recommended for die-hard Coco fans and those who have no idea what his tour was like. All attempts to be anything more than a tour document (i.e. the few interviews with Conan) never come to a head, not even an unsatisfactory one - they're just cut strings. A few light laughs and a look at backstage Conan is all this has to offer. That doesn't make it bad, it just doesn't make it noteworthy either.

Interesting documentary about the guy who gets screwed out of his job... like him a lot more then Leno...

While I've always felt that Conan's prepared material is mediocre, this documentary shows how completely hilarious the guy is away from the stuff you usually see on his show. Conan was also very caring about his fans, and even after being completely exhausted midway through the tour, he still put forth the energy and commitment for those that stood with him through the battle with the extra unfunny Jay and NBC. ..."Did you know I opened for Damien Marley and NAS?"

More along the lines of a fan film than a documentary.

Favorite late night host.

Yeah, it's good because it doesn't pretty Conan up. I think the best scene may be the one with Jack McBrayer, an incredibly uncomfortable moment. I do have to wonder why they put so much emphasis on the musical side of the tour.

It kinda made me remember how mediocre most of Conan's stuff is. It's a decent documentary though and has its moments.
