The new Conan episodes will be shot entirely on an iPhone which will feature guest interviews filmed through a video call. Conan O’Brien’s production staff will continue to be involve in the production of the new episodes while they remain to work from their homes.
“Our first priority is the health and well-being of everyone in the Team Coco family, and our second priority is to try and find a way that we can do our jobs safely, from home, and contribute some entertainment for our fans out there who may be hungry for silly distraction,” executive producer Jeff Ross said in statement.

Conan would be the first late-night talk show to return on air as other late-night shows including The Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon and Jimmy Kimmel Live! are still on indefinite hiatus but are doing their best to continue communicating with the audience by filming their daily monologues at home.
