With social distancing in effect because of COVID-19, people are looking for ways to entertain themselves in their homes. And it seems like even the entertainers want to find a way to keep us entertained. Conan O'Brien wrote on Twitter that he planned to go back on air on TBS in the US on Monday, March 30th. He tweeted: "All my staff will work from home, I will shoot at home using an iPhone, and my guests will Skype."
The idea came from how O'Brien and his staff could produce short videos for social media and thinking they could work with this to create an entire show.
"We have a staff that wants to work, that doesn't want to not get paid, and you just want to keep the business going," Conan executive producer Jeff Ross told Variety.
O'Brien will be the first late-night host to attempt to make a show, and he cautions that viewers will need to expect the worst. "The quality of my work will not go down because technically that's not possible," he said. "This will not be pretty, but feel free to laugh at our attempt."
