Conan O'Brien Takes 'Fury Road' All The Way to San Diego in 'Mad Max' Spoof

'Conan' will broadcast all week from San Diego, marking the city's first late-night show taping in history.

The most prominent thought on the minds of the $150,000,000 worth of people who saw Mad Max: Fury Road — aside from "Charlize Theron is absolutely dominating this movie and I love that" — was most likely "Hey, where's Conan O'Brien and Andy Richter? That would be cool." Two months later, the incomparable duo of late night tomfoolery have granted those wishes with reckless abandon.

Heading south to San Diego for a record-breaking Conan run at Comic-Con, O'Brien and Richter slipped effortlessly into their post-apocalyptic best for a seemingly high-budget send-up of Mad Max: Fury Road. As the guitar-slinging creature of absurdity Doof Warrior, O'Brien basks in the glow of his own ridiculousness while Richter channels his inner Immortan Joe behind the wheel of the modified garbage truck.

As noted by Rolling Stone, O'Brien's San Diego broadcasts mark the first time a late-night show has taped in San Diego. Of course, this brings Conan's tally of broken records to two — following their historic trip to Havana, Cuba in March.
