The Stranger

"I am angry," says Conan O'Brien, angrily. "I'm very angry about the way I was treated." Conan O'Brien Can't Stop chronicles Conan's 44-stop anger-powered national tour following his unceremonious (but lucrative) dumpage by NBC. The private Conan is not quite what you expect: grumpy, weary, freckled, driven, hopelessly addicted to show business, and pathologically dedicated to his fans. Can't Stop is a fascinating—if surprisingly nonfunny—glimpse into the mechanics of comedy, the massive machinery of a live tour, and the tenuous cost-benefit balance of celebrity.
