Earlier this month, Team Coco provided us with 24-hour live streaming from their offices. This Monday, we'll get even more behind-the-scenes action.

On November 1 at 11 p.m. Eastern/ 8 p.m. Pacific, host Conan O'Brien -- with help from Andy Richter and a few special celebrity guests -- will get fans warmed with a special sneak peek. The event, titled "Team Zero," will be broadcast on Facebook, YouTube and TeamCoco.com.

The actual premiere of Conan will happen just over a week later on November 8. Names booked for the program's first week include Seth Rogen, Jack White, Tom Hanks, Soundgarden, Jon Hamm, Michael Cera and Julie Bowen.

Although we are still over two weeks away from the official launch of Conan O’Brien’s new TBS show, the buzz is already building. To ramp up the excitement for the late-night program, Team Coco began 24 hours of live streaming from the show’s offices at 1 p.m. EST today.

What behind-the-scenes action could we possibly see from that camera focused on the stairwell of their “comedy bunker”? If you were watching at 6:00 p.m. EST, you would have caught a dancing Taco Bell mascot (with a dancing taco). Earlier in the afternoon, you would have been treated to an aerobics session straight from the ‘80s.

Conan kicks off on November 8.

Pay careful attention to the last ten seconds of this video. If you look at the dimmed, lower portion of the image, you’ll notice a small, silent joke bomb placed by Team Jay Leno to insult Conan O’Brien. The subject matter? Terrorism. The vehicle? Facebook. The result? That remains to be seen.

While doing a bit about would-be Times Square bomber Faisal Shahzad, the Tonight Show host presented a Facebook page purportedly owned by Shahzad. On it, you can see that Faisal belongs to a few groups: Al Qaeda, the Pakistan Frequent Flyers Club and Team Coco, the moniker used by Conan O’Brien supporters.

-Eva Longoria says she’s “really confused” about the lawsuit Nicollette Sheridan filed against Marc Cherry. She doesn’t think the Desperate Housewives creator could even “harm a fly.”

-Veronica Mars fans should not give up hope on a possible big screen movie. “It’s not dead,” creator Rob Thomas claims. “We’re still looking into it.”

-The censors working for Jay Leno should keep a close eye on their guests before they walk out on stage. Last night, guitarist Slash secretly sported a Team Coco button during his Tonight Show appearance.

-Christopher Meloni is now backing off reports that he may leave Law & Order: SVU. Can we say contract negotiations?
