The Polk Theatre presents the film Conan O’Brien Can’t Stop

Starring: Conan O’Brien, Andy Richter, and Stephen Colbert
Director: Rodman Flender
Genre: Documentary, Comedy, Special Interest
Running time: 1 hour and 26 minutes
MPAA Rating: R

After a much-publicized departure from hosting NBC’s Tonight Show – and the severing of a 22-year relationship with the network – O’Brien hit the road with a 32-city music-and-comedy show to exercise his performing chops and exorcise a few demons. The “Legally Prohibited From Being Funny on Television Tour” was O’Brien’s answer to a contractual stipulation that banned his appearance on television, radio and the Internet for six months following his last show. Filmmaker Rodman Flender’s resulting documentary, Conan O’Brien Can’t Stop, is an intimate portrait of an artist trained in improvisation, captured at the most improvisational time of his career. It offers a window into the private writers room and rehearsal halls as O’Brien’s “half-assed show” (his words) is almost instantly assembled and mounted to an adoring fan base. — (C) Official Site
