by The 2010 Major League Baseball playoffs have begun today, and with it, you had to know that TBS would begin ramping up what will become ubiquitous promotions for Conan O'Brien's upcoming late-night talker, Conan. Well, you're right about that.
But there's more. Think, big, orange and up in the sky. Yes. You read the headline. It's the Conan blimp!
It's currently flying over Philadelphia today and tonight.
According to the Team Coco Blimp page, it's scheduled to fly over New York City on Oct. 9, Atlanta on Oct. 16, Tampa on Oct. 19, and Boston on Oct. 26. And yes, I'm painfully well aware that Boston is not a participating baseball city this October. Just roll the clip.
You can also follow the Team Coco Blimp via Twitter and Foursquare.
UPDATED: Oh, and in brand-new spots airing during the baseball games, Conan is seen in the blimp with the UCB's own Ian Roberts as his pilot!
Looks like the Boston stop is for the big Heat-Celtics opening NBA game, conveniently broadcast on TNT!
Thanks for the tip, Jeff! I knew there had to be a convenient reason for that Boston stop.
It’s currently flying over Philadelphia today and tonight.
