Conan Returns to Late Night


Conan O'Brien has recently struck a deal for his own late night talk show beginning at 11 PM on TBS. After several months of negotiations with FOX, he finally decided to go with the cable network instead due to reservations from local FOX affiliates. Conan will be squaring off with other big cable late night shows such as The Daily Show and The Colbert Report. Initially Conan and his people were cautious to join TBS at 11 PM, because another show was already filling its spot, The George Lopez Show. As you might have guessed, Conan was not eager to push another late night host of of their time slot, but Lopez himself gave O'Brien his blessing and practically sealed the deal. Conan's new show is expected to air around November.

TBS's promo for the show can be seen here:
