I remember, back in the fall when Conan struck his deal with Sirius/XM, it was brought up in an interview. That was also when HBO Max started cancelling everything left and right. The interviewer asked if it had been cancelled, to which Conan said, "I haven't even put together my pitch yet. Can't cancel what hasn't been pitched."
But, based on the other comments here, looks like something is now being filmed.

My favourite little known fact about him.
Way back in the 1956, he did the voices of both male leads in the American dub of the original Godzilla!

Warren Miller was a filmmaker who cranked out ski documentaries. He became famous for the folksy narration he’d provide his films. His sign off for most of his films: “If you don’t do it this year, you’ll be one year older when you do.”

After Captain Marvel made a big thing about it, I’ve noticed that video stores are becoming shorthand for “This takes place in the 90s.”

Reply to TIL one of the first use of avant-garde technique of tape manipulation in music was the 1955 hit "Jingle Bells" by The Singing Dogs. Using a razor, Carl Weismann cut, then spliced sounds of dog barks together, correcting speed, pitch and melody of the resulting tape. It reached #22 on Billboard. by Bubbly-Incident
When I was a kid, my local radio station would play this to intro their lost pet announcements during the holiday season.

I hung it in a place of pride in my office lobby. Left it behind when they laid me off because of COVID. As far as I know, it’s still there.
