Absolutely. I think it’s not that’s he’s too busy to pursue the show but rather he wants to take his time an do something special since Team Coco is doing fine now.

When his talk show ended, TBS announced Conan Without Borders would continue as a TBS production in the future so I think the HBO show is still in development. I might be thinking of the same interview as you, but I believe there was even a more recent magazine interview he did where he, again, talked about how the HBO show is barely even conceptualized yet.

With how successful his podcast is now, I think Conan probably isn’t in any rush to get things moving for the show. The only thing pressuring him would be he did initially have Team Coco staff take a temporary pay cut while they worked on future plans, but I’m guessing he’s brought them back up to full pay already with the podcast money.
