Conan O'Brien Revives Clueless Gamer for Borderlands 4 Charity Episode

Conan O'Brien has revived his popular series "Clueless Gamer" with a special episode featuring the upcoming Borderlands 4, playing alongside major donors Brian Long and Liz Day to support the autism nonprofit Next for Autism. The episode showcases Conan's characteristic humor and sarcasm, including his playful disdain for the Borderlands character Claptrap and his bemusement at the game's complex story, which he questions as necessary. Despite not being a skilled gamer, Conan's commitment to the chaotic fun of Borderlands 4 shines through, even causing a game crash during his playthrough. The episode not only provides entertaining gameplay footage but also raises awareness and funds for autism services, highlighting Conan's willingness to engage with gaming culture for a meaningful cause. Borderlands 4 is set to release on September 12, 2025, across multiple platforms, including Nintendo Switch 2, PC, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X|S. This return to Clueless Gamer continues a tradition of blending humor, gaming, and charity, following a hiatus since Conan's 2024 episode on Death Stranding.
