Pretty stoked about this. I love this series.

Conan O’Brien’s ‘Clueless Gamer’ Being Developed as Series at TBS

With his role as TBS’ late-night star in flux, Conan O’Brien is expanding his footprint at the cable channel.

Variety has learned that TBS is developing “Clueless Gamer,” a television series based on a segment from O’Brien’s late-night talk show “Conan.” Originated as a series of online videos and later integrated into the host’s nightly talk show, the segment features O’Brien and various celebrities trying out new video games with which they are unfamiliar.

The spin-off show, which has yet to receive an official series order, is being produced by O’Brien’s company Conaco and IMG. O’Brien would not host the show if it were given a greenlight.

Turner Entertainment chief Kevin Reilly spoke about “Clueless Gamer” in an interview Thursday in which the discussed potential transition of “Conan,” which currently airs weeknights at a 11 p.m., to a once -a-week format. That potential move, which was first reported on Thursday, is, according to Reilly, being driven in large part by O’Brien’s growing role as a producer. The comic also produces comedy “People of Earth” and the upcoming animated series “Final Space” for TBS.

“Next month we’re going to go into production on a new series called ‘Clueless Gamer,’ based on one of [O’Brien’s] viral videos,” Reilly told Variety. “Celebrities play videos and he makes fun of them. It’s really broken out. We’ve had companies sending us their games pre-release.”

What the fuck is the point of making a clueless gamer show if Conan doesn't host it?

What a stupid idea.

This.
The idea behind Clueless gamer is nothing new, just look at every youtube gaming channel. What this had going for it was Conan's personality.

This. The segments are popular because of his comedy not because of the other dopes playing. Unless they rotate guest comedians to play?

I didn't realize that Conan wasn't hosting it. If that's the case, then fuck that.

(Note: I totally read the article as saying he would host it)

This just reminds me how Conan beat pewdiepie at his own game. Put pewds next to a comedian and cringe at how unfunny he is.

So it is going to be a show about people who don't know anything about games... playing with people who don't know anything about games.

I remember watching a few episodes of this and i found Conan to be hilarious only because he obviously couldn't give a shit about the gaymes he was being presented with, and for good reason. And the way he kept abusing the retard gaymer was hilarious too, all the more since the guy was just an employee to the show, right? But then he started to get famous guests and i couldn't stand all the phony edgtardism and forced jokes between them.

The Skyrim episode was funny because he did the mission in Whiterun where he has to get the mammoth tusk. It took them forever to kill the mammoth and then Conan was pissed when he didn't receive a sexual favor in return, lol. It would have been really funny if he went into The Companion's HQ and just stole the tusk that's there.
