Ali Fazal and Richa Chadha Join Conan O’Brien for Travel Series India Chapter

Global Comedy Meets Indian Cinema

International television veteran Conan O’Brien has expanded his global travel series, Conan O’Brien Must Go, to include a segment filmed in India. The production team confirmed that actor-producers Richa Chadha and Ali Fazal will participate in the upcoming third season. A recently released trailer highlights the pair engaging in an unscripted dialogue with the former late-night host, who is known for his signature improvisational style.

Why It Matters

The collaboration brings together high-profile Bollywood talent with an established American comedy icon. For Fazal and Chadha, the project represents a cross-cultural exchange that they described in a joint statement as a "wonderfully chaotic exchange." They noted that the filming process was entirely unfiltered, reflecting O'Brien's long-standing reputation for spontaneous humor.
