Conan O’Brien in Ghana
Conan is shooting the “Conan Without Borders” special in Ghana along with American-Ghanaian actor, writer, and comedian Sam Richardson, who plays Richard Splett in the hit series ‘Veep’. Conan and Sam have, since their arrival in Ghana, appeared on the McBrown’s Kitchen cooking show with actress Nana Ama McBrown, where they cooked Ghanaian and make some interesting comments about Nigerian jollof (yes as expected).
Conan and Sam have also visited the popular Makola Market in Accra to the a bit of the pulse of life in Ghana.
Conan’s interest in Ghana was piqued when Sam Richardson shared fun details on his trips to Ghana in a previous interview on the Conan show, sometime in May. In 2015, he also showcased the outrageous special effects in Ghanaian movies on his show.
Conan Without Borders takes late night host Conan O’Brien to different parts of the globe, proving O’Brien is television’s perfect traveling everyman, with an uncanny knack for diving into a local culture and infusing it with his trademark humour.
Conan O’Brien is best known for hosting several late-night talk shows; since 2010, he has hosted Conan on the cable channel TBS. O’Brien was born in Brookline, Massachusetts, and was raised in an Irish Catholic family. He served as president of The Harvard Lampoon while attending Harvard University, and was a writer for the sketch comedy series Not Necessarily the News.
