Conan O’Brien is leaving his house.
The Conan host will begin filming his TBS show at L.A.’s Largo at the Coronet on July 6, becoming the first late-night host to move away from at-home filming since studio production shut down in March. Episodes will film without an audience and with a limited number of crew and staff members on site, per government and industry protocols. O’Brien will continue to interview guests via Zoom.
O’Brien chose Largo to resume filming rather than his studio at the Warner Bros. lot as a way to keep the theater, a favorite among the L.A. comedy scene, going during the coronavirus pandemic.
“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,” he said.
