Synopsis
After a much-publicized separation with his former employers, did Conan O’Brien hit the road on a 32-City tour to connect with his fans or fill a void within himself? Filmmaker Rodman Flender followed O’Brien on his “Legally Prohibited From Being Funny on Television Tour” and returned with an intimate portrait of an artist trained in improvisation, captured at the most improvisational time of his career. –SXSW

A document of that brief moment when we were all obsessed with Conan O'Brien, right before he got a new show, and we all forgot to watch.

The most enjoyable aspect of this doc, for me, was seeing the more human aspects of a television personality through Conan's own annoyance/anger with the demands of the tour.

More revealing than it needed to be. Not as revealing as we'd like it to be. The performance footage focuses more on music than comedy. The movie certainly supports it's contention that Conan O'Brien can't stop - and that he's happiest and most fulfilled in front of an audience.

I appreciate the lack of whitewashing. It was funny, sure but they didn't shy away from showing Conan getting annoyed/angry with the rigors of touring and the demands therein. It wasn't perfect, sure but what documentary really is? It was a good chronicle of some of what goes into entertaining the masses and how much some entertainers can get attached to that.
