Most recently, CONAN without Borders traveled to Australia and Japan. Conan has made headlines as the first American late-night host to shoot in Cuba in more than 50 years and became the first American late-night personality ever to host a show from Armenia as well as South Korea. Conan made a spontaneous trip to Haiti to celebrate the country in response to the president's disparaging remarks about the island nation. He also travelled to Mexico City where he shot an episode of CONAN with the help of an all-Mexican staff and crew, guests Vicente FOX and Diego Luna, and an all-Mexican studio audience. O'Brien has joined former First Lady Michelle Obama at the international Air Force base in Doha, Qatar, to perform for the troops and his other international destinations have included Israel and Berlin. O'Brien has done a week of CONAN shows from New York, Chicago, Dallas, San Diego and Atlanta.
