After a weekslong feud, American comedian Conan O'Brien and Japan's "Conan Town" are set for a showdown.
O'Brien is scheduled to visit his namesake town in western Japan this week, supposedly to collect the ¥3 trillion he jokingly claims the municipality in Tottori Prefecture owes him for making money off the popular manga and anime "Detective Conan."
An official from the town of Hokuei, which has dubbed itself Conan Town, confirmed Tuesday that the visit is in the works, while O'Brien said in a video posted on social media the same day that he will be there in "about two days."
