Conan makes TV history in Cuba

Conan O'Brien spent the weekend in Cuba.

It was historic.

He is now the first U.S. late-night host to film on mainland Cuba since the embargo began in 1962. (Brian Williams, David Muir and Scott Pelley have all broadcast from there in recent months.)

The last time a late-night American show visited the country was in 1959, when Jack Paar of the Tonight Show interviewed Fidel Castro, a move that earned him some criticism at the time, notes Deadline.

According to the Conan show team, the host spent "multiple days" over the weekend "in and around Havana" filming for his show.

We can see him in one of those classic cars already.

The episode, which promises to offer a glimpse into the daily life of Cubans, will air on March 4 at 11 p.m. ET/PT on TBS.
