Conan O'Brien is back again with yet another stellar line-up of guests on the 85th episode of Conan's season 2017. Episode 85 boasts an impressive roster that includes Dave Franco, Olivia Munn, Justin Theroux, Zach Woods, Michael Pena, Kumail Nanjiani, and Abbi Jacobson.

The show opens with Conan's typical comedic monologue, in which he hilariously tackles current events, politics, and pop culture news. Conan then introduces Dave Franco, who stars in the film "The Disaster Artist," which is a behind-the-scenes look at the making of the cult classic "The Room" (widely considered to be one of the worst movies ever made). Franco talks about what it was like to work with his brother James Franco, who directed and starred in the film, and shares some amusing anecdotes about the production process.

Next up is Olivia Munn, who discusses her new film "The Predator" and her incredibly entertaining training regimen for the role. Munn delves into the intricate details of the stunt work involved in the movie and how she had to learn how to use weapons, handle explosives, and perform combat moves.

Justin Theroux then takes the hot seat and talks about his starring role in "The Leftovers," which wrapped up after three seasons last year. Theroux also shares about his most recent efforts in writing and producing, including the Netflix series "Maniac," and his passion for the art of leatherwork as a hobby.

Zach Woods also joins Conan in the studio and talks about his role on "Silicon Valley" and their latest season. Woods hilariously recalls his very first theater performance, which led to his current success as a comedy actor. He also waxes lyrical about his work on some of the most famous improv groups in America, including the highly-acclaimed Upright Citizens Brigade.

Michael Pena also comes on the show and talks about his new film "12 Strong," which is focused on a group of U.S. soldiers fighting in Afghanistan after the September 11th terrorist attacks. Pena also tells Conan about his recent experiences working with the greats, including Clint Eastwood and Nicolas Cage.

Kumail Nanjiani then discusses his recent Oscar-nominated film, "The Big Sick," which he co-wrote. He shares a range of funny stories about the making of the film and how he almost gave up on it when things weren't going well. Nanjiani also talks to Conan about his hilarious and successful podcast, "The X-Files Files."

Finally, Abbi Jacobson from "Broad City" rounds out the incredibly talented guest list. Jacobson talks about her recent book, which is a hilarious personal essay collection titled "I Might Regret This." She shares with Conan about how the book came together and the image she is trying to convey to the world.

Overall, episode 85 of Conan's 2017 season is a true crowd-pleaser. The guests are all incredibly talented and charismatic in their own right, and Conan does a fantastic job eliciting funny and insightful stories from them. It's a must-watch for fans of comedy, film, and popular culture alike.
