No need for more speculation, Conan announced the name of his show earlier today, you can view the video here at teamcoco.com. And don’t forget to download the picture below to remind yourself of the day (not that we need the reminder, but do download!)

Jimmy Fallon is hosting the Emmys this year (which is being televised on NBC as you know) and he says that it’s almost crucial to touch upon the whole NBC debacle with a few gags, which he has already planned with Conan.

FALLON SAYS CONAN GAGS WILL FIGURE IN EMMY TELECAST

Jimmy Fallon insists that neither NBC nor the Academy of Television Arts and Sciences is restricting him in any way when he hosts the Primetime Emmy Awards on Sunday. In an interview with DeadlineHollywood.com, Fallon said, “No one’s telling me anything like, don’t go here, don’t talk about Conan. We’ll touch on the stuff the network’s gone through. We’ll probably have a couple of jokes in there about all of the late-night stuff. You can’t not talk about it. And we have a couple of ideas with Conan.” Asked whether the network was “scared” about the possibility of violating the non-disparagement clause of its severance agreement with Fallon, the Late Night host replied, “Nah, it’s all cool. He’ll be there. At least that’s the plan. We’re not sure Jay is going to be around. We hope he comes, too. We’re not sure right now.” Asked whether he himself has any hope of someday hosting The Tonight Show, Fallon replied, “The one thing I’ve learned from [David Letterman and Conan O'Brien] is that hosting Late Night is a one-way ticket to not hosting The Tonight Show.

You cab listen to this single here. It premiered on Sirius XM’s Raw Dog Comedy channel earlier today. It’s very funny, and it goes to show how talented Conan is (and what an awesome improviser)! Check it out!

Conan’s recording session at Third Man Records is now officially released. News from the site states that pre-ordered LP has begun shipping out. They have also released an exclusive spoken word track, an interview conducted by Jack White.

Third Man Records presents a new release from the one and only Conan O’Brien. Recorded in Nashville at the Third Man studios this past June, the vinyl 7” is available now for pre-order in the Third Man Records online shop. “And They Call Me Mad?” is Conan’s hilarious improvised take on the Frankenstein legend.

As you may have heard from all the news outlets and from our previous post, the writing category of the Emmy awards will not be part of the primetime televised portion this year, but instead will be part of the creative Emmy. The I’m With Coco Facebook group and our friends over at NoFactZone.Net are organizing a movement that can help put the category back on the main Emmy telecast. If you would like to help (which we encourage you to do so), it’s very easy, all you have to do is make the call to the Emmy planning offices to get the writers and directors awards back on the air!

Here are some tips that our friends over at the Colbert camp and the facebook gang have graciously sent over:
