CONAN O'BRIEN NEEDS A FRIEND Podcast Launches from Team Coco

The Hollywood Reporter reports CONAN O'Brien will get his own podcast.

Team Coco will release "Conan O'Brien Needs a Friend" every week for 36 weeks starting Nov. 19. The first episode will feature Will Ferrell. Other guests include Kristen Bell, Bill Burr, Dax Shepard, Nick Offerman, Megan Mullally, Wanda Sykes, and fellow podcaster Marc Maron.

"Over the years and despite thousands of interviews, CONAN has never made a real and lasting friendship with any of his celebrity guests. So, he started a podcast to do just that. Deeper, unboundedly playful, and free from FCC regulations, CONAN O'Brien Needs a Friend is a weekly opportunity for CONAN to hang out with the people he enjoys most and perhaps find some real friendship along the way," reads the podcast's official description.

Conan O'Brien Needs a Friend will debut on Earwolf, a comedy podcast network.

"After 25 years of extensive market research we have learned that people want to hear my voice without seeing my face. So rejoice, America," O'Brien said.

Several months ago, TBS announced that CONAN would be shortened from an hour a night to a half-hour in 2019. The change coincided with an extended partnership with Team Coco to expand its touring efforts and digital presence.
