American comedian and talk show host Conan O'Brien is currently on his first-ever trip to India, immersing himself in the country's vibrant culture for his travel series, Conan O'Brien Must Go. O'Brien's visit has already generated considerable excitement, fueled by cryptic social media messages and behind-the-scenes glimpses of his adventures.

O'Brien's trip appears to be focused on experiencing two of India's biggest passions: Bollywood and cricket. A photo shared by his team, Team Coco, on Instagram shows the comedian dressed in cricket whites, including a Team India cable-knit sweater, running down a street with a cricket bat. The caption playfully states that he scored "eleventyhundred points" during his first day playing street cricket, showcasing his humorous engagement with the sport. This comical take on cricket has resonated with fans, who have praised his willingness to embrace Indian culture. Some fans even compared O'Brien's cricketing look to English cricketer Ben Stokes.

In another social media post, O'Brien is seen dressed in a shiny, elaborate outfit, posing with a group of dancers and crew members. He teased a forthcoming "Bollywood extravaganza" filmed during his visit, promising it will be available for streaming on mobile devices. This post highlights O'Brien's commitment to fully immersing himself in local culture, from playing street cricket to participating in Bollywood dance routines.

O'Brien's trip to India is part of his travel series, Conan O'Brien Must Go, where he explores different cultures and connects with fans around the world. The series is known for its focus on spontaneous cultural interactions and humorous participation in local customs. Previous seasons have featured O'Brien's travels to Norway, Argentina, and Thailand.

This visit to India was initially planned for 2018 as part of Conan Without Borders, but faced delays due to permitting issues. According to Late Nighter, complications arose from an unauthorized shoot in India in 2004, which caused the Indian consulate in San Francisco to halt the updated permits and visas.

O'Brien's connection with Indian audiences grew after he greeted them in Hindi during the Academy Awards. His current trip is expected to further solidify his relationship with Indian fans and showcase the country's unique culture to a global audience.

Conan O'Brien has been a prominent figure in American late-night television for over three decades, hosting shows such as Late Night with Conan O'Brien, The Tonight Show with Conan O'Brien, and Conan. He also hosts the podcast Conan O'Brien Needs a Friend and stars in the travel show Conan O'Brien Must Go. His trip to India marks a significant milestone in his career, demonstrating his global reach and interest in cultural exploration.

Fans can anticipate the India episode of Conan O'Brien Must Go to be released on HBO Max, where new episodes of his international travels are periodically available.
