Conan O’Brien’s Emmy-winning travel show is back with Conan O’Brien Must Go season 2. The Max original series will once again see the former talk show host, current podcaster, comedian and all-around entertainer head off to different countries where he will visit some of his international fans while also exploring the cultures and customs of the countries.

Though O’Brien stopped doing his late-night talk show back in 2021, he has remained incredibly busy building a podcast brand that is headlined by his podcast Conan O’Brien Needs a Friend, doing live shows and, most recently, hosting the 2025 Oscars. But Conan O’Brien Must Go has been one of his biggest recent hits, which has viewers excited to see where Conan is gallivanting off to this season.

Conan O’Brien Must Go season 2 premise

We’ve touched on the Conan O’Brien Must Go premise, but here’s some more detail.

Conan O'Brien Must Go season 2 cast

Before becoming the host of his own travel show, Conan O'Brien was a five-time Emmy winner who began as a writer on Saturday Night Live and The Simpsons before taking over Late Night with Conan O'Brien in the early 90s. He then became the host of The Tonight Show, but that was unfortunately short-lived due to complications that are better read about here. However, he started another talk show on TBS, Conan, that started in 2010 and ran until 2021. He now is a podcaster/podcast producer and is set to host the Oscars for the second time in 2026.

While O'Brien is the only consistent figure on Conan O'Brien Must Go, some promo materials for the second season highlight some other notable names making appearances. They are the Oscar-winner Javier Bardem and long-time foil to Conan, Jordan Schlansky.
