Conan O’Brien announced Thursday he is moving production of his talk show to the Largo at the Coronet, a performance space on La Cienega Boulevard, on Monday.
O’Brien — who has been filming remotely from his home with an iPhone and a laptop since the end of March — will continue interviewing guests via Zoom and without an audience.
A limited staff and crew will be on site in connection with government and industry health and safety protocols, with the remainder of the show’s production staff to continue working from home.
“I got started doing improv at the Coronet in 1986 and I’m glad we’ve figured out a way to safely keep that theater going during this lockdown,” O’Brien said in a statement.
Largo’s owner, Mark Flanagan, said he was “thrilled that Conan and his great team reached out and offered to help us through these awful times.”
“We have a long history together and look forward to many more great years to come,” Flanagan said.
“Conan,” which airs at 11 p.m. on TBS Mondays through Thursdays, had been filmed at the Warner Bros. studio in Burbank before the coronavirus pandemic forced TV talk show hosts to begin filming remotely from their homes.
Meanwhile, O’Brien’s Team Coco will also be launching a digital version of their monthly live stand-up show on July 9. “Team Coco Live: Moses Storm & Friends” will stream via Twitch and will feature well-known and up-and-coming comedians.
