Julie says: “I went into this with great trepidation. I was not sure how exciting it would be to watch a film about Conan Obrien touring since I always felt the Conan show was just okay…But I was curious to see what he would do and what he had to say (if anything) about the Tonight Show debacle. I found this film to be quite entertaining and informative. I gained a new respect for Conan in that the guy really says what he thinks and doesn’t put up a facade for anyone. Although there was one scene where he seemed a bit harsh in his humor- was it a joke ? Maybe to him but the other person didn’t seem to be in on it…That was never explained unless the special features explain it, which they might. I have not gotten to them yet. The film also shows how hard Conan works at being entertaining and how much he’s concerned as to whether he is or not. He seems to be a perfectionist in general. He really does have a lot of energy and drive which can be seen in this film. There’s enough variety to keep it interesting. The film progressed perfectly in showing the thrill, hardship and pain of touring and entertaining. 4 1/2 cats”
