One of the great things about this lockdown is all the opportunities the general public get to view a lot of panels and events that you previously had to attend to see. While we won’t be getting Comic Con this year, the folks behind Comic Con are doing Comic-Con@Home events. Warner Brothers virtual slate includes the cast of His Dark Materials (after a slow start S1 grew on me), Lovecraft Country, American dad and more. The only thing I question is why have this now when they are going to have their own Fandome event August 22? Check out the full slate.

Does Conan’s Comic-Con tapings guest list. I’m working with TBS and hope to be at one of these tapings. But no guarantees. Conan O’Brien returns to San Diego for the fifth year in a row with a week of special one-hour star-filled shows taped during Comic-Con® International. This year’s shows will feature the stars of Veronica Mars, It Chapter Two, Carnival Row and plenty of super-star surprise guests. There’s a mysterious surprise guest listed for Thursday’s taping so obviously that’s the one I want to go to, but sadly I have interviews.
