Conan O’Brien sure knows how to throw a party: his new Max travel series CONAN O’BRIEN MUST GO premieres today on Crave, and it’s also his 61st birthday. According to Conan, however, “that’s a complete coincidence … it has nothing to do with my birthday.” Fans can still celebrate by watching all four episodes today, although Conan warned that doing so in one sitting is “not medically advised.” Ironically, Conan didn’t seem to be following any medical advice in his recent viral appearance on HOT ONES, which The A.V. Club summed up this way: “Conan O’Brien’s gonzo HOT ONES sends the Internet Coco-crazy.”

Shonda Rhimes stepped down as the showrunner of GREY’S ANATOMY back in 2015, but in a recent interview she recalled that some fans became so obsessed and opinionated about the series, she had to hire private security following season finales. As she explained, “social media changed. Fans have passionate feelings, and I was always fine with that … but then it became weird.” GREY’S ANATOMY is now in the midst of its 20th season, but viewers should take note that there is no new episode tonight, or a week from tonight. The show returns May 2 on CTV, CTV.ca, and the CTV app.
