(JTA) – Talk show host Conan O’Brien announced that he would film an episode of his “Conan Without Borders” series on TBS in Israel. O’Brien made the announcement in a tweet Friday night in which he linked to a news story about President Donald Trump sending his senior advisor and son-in-law Jared Kushner to Israel to help broker a peace deal with the Palestinians. “Breaking: Conan O’Brien sends Conan O’Brien to Israel to help Jared Kushner. Stay tuned. #ConanIsrael#ConanWithoutBorders,” the tweet said. O’Brien will film in locations throughout Israel over five days later this month, Ynet reported.
