The trailer for the documentary Conan O’Brien Can’t Stop, which goes behind the scenes of Conan’s transition from NBC into the production of the “Legally Prohibited From Being Funny on Television Tour.” From SlashFilm:

The “Legally Prohibited From Being Funny on Television Tour” was O’Brien’s answer to a contractual stipulation that banned his appearance on television, radio and the Internet for six months following his last show

Filmmaker Rodman Flender’s resulting documentary, Conan O’Brien Can’t Stop, is an intimate portrait of an artist trained in improvisation, captured at the most improvisational time of his career. It offers a window into the private writers room and rehearsal halls as O’Brien’s “half-assed show” (his words) is almost instantly assembled and mounted to an adoring fan base.

We see a comic who does not stop — performing, singing, pushing his staff and himself. Did Conan O’Brien hit the road to give something back to his loyal fans, or did he travel across the continent, stopping at cities large (New York, Las Vegas) and remote (Enoch, Alberta) to fill a void within himself?

I hope at some point in my life I enjoy anything as much as this guy enjoyed the series finale of Smallville. It seems like he’s just genuinely into it, then you have to remember he’s watching the series finale of Smallville, which means he’s definitely alone (and probably a frequent masturbator). Combined with the audio of this video, a strong case can be made that he’s definitely knocking one off, making “gross” the only adjective that can describe this video more accurately than “sad”.
