"The long, strange story of Conan O’Brien‘s exit from NBC and the national comedy/music revue tour that followed gets its final chapter — or coda, really — in the form of the documentary Conan O’Brien Can’t Stop. The film premiered at SXSW and landed distribution that will see the film hitting VOD and AT&T’s U-verse platforms before a small theatrical opening. The film was praised for offering a relatively unvarnished look at the behind the scenes production of Conan’s tour, and for showing people the less-flattering aspects of his mental state at the time. You’ll get a glimpse of that in the new trailer for the film, which is after the break.
Mostly, the trailer focuses on the more well-known aspects of Conan’s personality: a little self-deprecation, a little bravado, and a lot of zaniness. But you’ll also see some of the film’s mix of despair and the backstage angst and planning that went into the creation of the Legally Prohibited From Being Funny on Television Tour." -

Haha yeah that is true...millionaire fighting against millionaires for a television show isn't exactly a documentary on Rwanda. Should be funny though I'm a huge Conan fan!
bamdrew"I don't know what it will be like to stop. What do you mean, 'Stop'? What does that even mean?"
EvilDeathBeeHe's managed to do all this... and he never had the gift of a soul?
*wipes tear* What a trooper!

Very true, but it is quite interesting as well. Do you think if you won the lottery tomorrow and had millions of dollars you'd be content? Possibly, but likely no matter how much money you have you would strive for a goal. It may be short or long term but you would likely always find a way to challenge yourself. It's human nature, we always want something, whether it be for achievement of something we think we want or purely because we're insecure; too much is never enough.
My point is, even though it may not be something we can relate to specifically, the struggle faced by humans trying to achieve whatever goal they may have can be both entertaining and enlightening.

YogiI love Coco...just watched this last night and absolutely loved it. It was a rare look into Conanas personality and even though you could see it was ripping him apart...I don't think I'd take it as well as he did. I'd sulk for months...he went out and PUT ON A HELL OF A SHOW! Ran himself ragged for it all.
This Doc made me respect Conan EVEN More.
