NEW YORK, N.Y. – With iPhones and Skype, Conan O'Brien is going back on the air. The late-night host said he will resume putting out new episodes of TBS' “Conan” on March 30.
His staff will remain at home, and the show will be cobbled together with O'Brien on an iPhone and guests via Skype. “This will not be pretty, but feel free to laugh at our attempt,” said O'Brien on Twitter.
The late-night shows have all shut down production due to the coronavirus pandemic to avoid congregating live audiences and large TV crews.
Some hosts have pumped out web videos. Jimmy Fallon has produced 10-minute “At Home” shows for NBC's “Tonight." In one episode, he did a video chat with Lin-Manuel Miranda.
