Filmed in the period between his short stint on the Tonight Show and his permanent spot on TBS, this documentary contains some great behind-the-scenes footage of Conan O'Brien's Legally Prohibited From Being Funny On Television tour and gives you a rare glimpse of the comedian's style and candor. Always "on," Conan struggles with trying to push the boundaries in his constantly evolving tour across North America, all the while dealing with ravenous fans and exploitative producers. We get sneak peeks here and there, but I really would have liked to see more footage from the actual concerts, especially those featuring "guest" spots with Jim Carrey, Jon Stewart and Stephen Colbert, etc. As it stands, it's a very entertaining and candid look at the pressures one man pushes himself through in order to keep his voice heard, despite countless obstacles (both network and self-imposed), and you actually get a sense of who he really is; sometimes brash or passive-aggressive, but always funny.4 Nas and Damian Marley introductions out of 5
