Conan O’Brien is undoubtedly one of the most popular talk show hosts in recent years. Known for being the face of NBC’s ‘The Tonight Show’ for a considerable period, Conan is also a writer, producer, comedian and a podcaster. Known for his spontaneity and enthusiastic personality, he always swoons his interviewees with his charm and ability to conduct the smoothest of conversations.
Getting in contact with a celebrity like Conan O’Brien might seem like a herculean task but it’s not entirely impossible. Of course O’Brien could be contacted via everyone’s favourite means – social media. However, it is a rather generic route that doesn’t always yield a response. And even if it does, for all you know your heartfelt message is returned by an over paid social media manager.
This can be exasperating especially for businesses and individuals trying to reach out to him for official reasons or to seek his expertise. His influence has the potential to leverage business and multiply its marketing efforts exponentially. For those of you facing such a dilemma, we have a few tricks up our sleeves that might just make it easier for you to communicate with O’Brien, officially. There are plenty of ways to do so but we’ll now discuss the most effective top threes.
The Publicist or Agent
A successful and highly charismatic personality like Conan O’Brien does not have the time to handle his own endorsements. His business campaigns, personal life and every day duties are diligently planned out by an articulate team of professionals. All that goes to him goes through his agent or publicist. So ideally, they would be your first point of contact. You may have to book a meeting with his agents by sending out emails and phone calls describing your need and purpose for the same. You can find contact information of the agents through O’Brien’s official website. Fans can visit the Team Coco website, a multi-platform media company that is spearheaded by O’Brien himself. There is a contact form if you want to quickly leave a message. Further, you can even browse from a list of Conan-approved podcasts.
Through the Regular Podcasts
Like we already discussed, using social media for contacting O’Brien comes with a little risk of going unnoticed. Celebrity social media accounts are flooded with messages and comments from millions of fans. And O’Brien is no stranger to this phenomenon. But you have a slightly higher chance of contacting him directly through social media, thanks to his podcast. O’Brien runs an interesting and hilarious podcast called ‘Conan O’Brien Needs a Friend’ where he has conversations that are free from any censorship, and takes up questions from different people and you could be one of them. He has a team of podcasters, celebrities and fans under the Twitter handle Team Coco who will take up your queries and messages to O’Brien himself. We’d suggest you make the message creative so that it may stand out for a quicker response. Create content on your social media accounts that could potentially grab O’Brien’s attention. We know it sounds like a grueling process but it has been tried and tested . Fans have been able to capture the attention of their favourite celebrity by producing content on mediums like TikTok or Twitter.
