- I am happy to announce right now
that the three month Conan shutdown
is officially over.
(audience cheering)
- Conan O'Brien is back but this time
with a new, shorter show format,
a smaller stage, a whole new look,
and a very special guest, Tom Hanks.
The host traded in his suit
for a more casual ensemble
which he said is how
he dresses in real life
dubbing his look, hip biology teacher.
- No, I'm the cool biology teacher
that sells weed after class.
(audience laughing)
Only I'm middle-aged
so I call it the weed.
- The newly formatted 30 minute show
also featured some star-studded guests.
When Conan and his
announcer, Andy Richter,
spoofed NBC's This Is Us with a scene
in which they played husband and wife,
Conan made this huge reveal.
- There is something else.
I have a secret son.
Milo, get in here.
(crowd cheers)
- And finally, the host was joined
by the one and only Tom Hanks.
(knocking)
- Coco!
- Hey, Tom.
- Good to see you.
- Well, great to see you.
Thank you so much for
agreeing to do the show.
- It's an honor to be
your first guest back
on your first show.
- Conan told the actor, "We
have a strong connection,
"you coined the phrase Team Coco."
To which Hanks responded, "It's because
"I couldn't remember your name."

Until next time, for The
Hollywood Reporter News,
I'm Tiffany Taylor.
