Postie Perspectives: Conan O’Brien creates comedy record label
Conan O’Brien isn’t leaving television but he is making his way into the record business with a brand new label. He has decided to skip music and move right into what he knows best. O’Brien is, of course, putting together a comedy record label that will focus on helping aspiring comedians and give them support to rise to the top.
The label’s first release is from comedian Ian Edwards’ 100% Half Assed. Edwards’ album is a great comedic routine that was recorded at La Jolla, a comedy store in California. The comic has also been a writer for SNL and worked on an Adult Swim show. Edwards album will be released and in stores this coming June 2014.
Conan O’Brien is known for his late night talk show on TBS where he regularly interviews celebrities, actors, musicians, and comics. To close the show O’Brien either has a musical act or a comedian perform with their own original work. Some of the previous comedians that have performed for Conan and his live audience include, Louie CK, Erin Foley, Tony Deyo, Reggie Watts, Bo Burnham, and many more.
