Conan O’Brien isn’t going anywhere!

Conan, which has been on a pre-scheduled hiatus since March 16, will air new full episodes beginning March 30 despite the Coronavirus.

The new shows will be shot remotely on an iPhone, without an audience and with guest interviews being filmed via video chat, while the production staff will remain working from home, per the network. 

“The quality of my work will not go down because technically that’s not possible,” said O’Brien.

“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,” added executive producer Jeff Ross.

Conan airs Monday-Thursday on TBS.
