In addition to the overall success of its YouTube channel, CONAN is reaching new heights with its popular video remotes. The critically acclaimed “Ice Cube, Kevin Hart and Conan Help a Student Driver” segment, has generated more than 26 million video views on YouTube and the Team Coco website since debuting Jan. 5, making it the most watched clip in the history of CONAN on TBS. The remote features the stars of Universal Pictures’ Ride Along 2, Ice Cube and Kevin Hart.
