March 15th, 2011 - 1:59 am ICT by Aishwarya BhattAustin, Mar 14 (THAINDIAN NEWS) The talk show host Conan O’Brien who was in the news almost all of last year for his unceremonious exit from his talk show was the center of attraction at the SXSW Film Festival. The documentary ‘Conan O’Brien Can’t Stop’ was screened at the SXSW Film Festival. And despite looking haggard and tired Conan attended the screening.
The documentary basically talks about the life and times of the funny host when he was asked to quit from the Tonight Show in a very insulting manner. After been shown the door, he was also asked not to appear on any TV show for a number of months. So to get around this compulsion he launched the “Legally Prohibited on From Being Funny on Television Tour.” As part of this tour he traveled to 44 cities and later when the TV ban was lifted then he started his own show with TBS.
The host said that, “Rodman said, ‘I don’t want a slick Conan O’Brien product. I was OK with that. I hope this move can be useful to people who see it.” It ought to be mentioned here that Rodman Flender shot the film.
