Popular late-night talk show host Conan O'Brien announced on his television show Wednesday night that he will be filming a special episode of his travel series Conan without Borders in Israel next month.
"Due to all the division, strife, intractable hatred and violence in our country right now I have decided to leave America for the relative peace and quiet of the Middle East. That’s right people, I am going to Israel!" O'Brien announced.
O'Brien first announced his trip to Israel last week in a tweet.
"Breaking: Conan O'Brien sends Conan O'Brien to Israel to help Jared Kushner. Stay tuned," the tweet read.

O'Brien continued the theme of helping Jared Kushner in his television announcement.
"I may be in Israel the same week as President Trump's son-in-law, Jared Kushner, who's been sent there to broker a Middle East solution. Well, it occurred to me, I figure that Kushner and I have the same amount of experience with foreign relations...so maybe I'll work with the guy."
