Conan The O'Brien going to TBS!

And the winner of the Conan O'Brien sweepstakes is ... TBS.
According to a press release sent out by the cable network (which, like CNN, is a unit of Time Warner), the comedian is joining TBS to host a late-night show that is expected to debut in November. O'Brien's show will be followed on TBS' schedule by George Lopez's "Lopez Tonight," which will move to midnight.
"In three months I've gone from network television to Twitter to performing live in theater, and now I'm headed to basic cable," O'Brien said in the statement. "My plan is working perfectly."
O'Brien is currently embarking on a nationwide comedy tour, but he made bigger headlines earlier this year when NBC decided to move Jay Leno back to "The Tonight Show's" late-night slot. O'Brien, who had been hosting "Tonight," left the network.

I'm surprised, thought it would be Fox for sure.

So who's going to watch? :hmm:

Being on cable will be better for Conan, he can be funnier without worrying about offending someone.

 

[Platypus]

Can they fit him in between washed up comedians and re-runs of funny shows from other networks?

Maybe he didn't want to work for Rupert.

Yea it might get him on TV sooner, Fox has issues with the TV stations it does not own so that held him from Fox. But really TBS? I can see Com.Central maybe but TBS? His ratings will not be that good and I think hurt him in the long run.

Well in general I think its a bad career choice for him.

Neat, I am happy for him.

Like Quebec?


I am still pissed that he apologized for that skit.

 

[KeithTalent]

It is a very odd choice, I would rather he just went to HBO or something. I just think of crappy comedy shows and Atlanta Braves games when I think of TBS.

Ah, crap. Well, I guess I'll watch.

Tyler Perry is a talentless fuck.

I had to look up whether I have TBS or not, but I do so I'll watch. :thumbsup:

He also Tweeted Monday: "The good news: I will be doing a show on TBS starting in November! The bad news: I'll be playing Rudy on the all new Cosby Show."

He's got enough money to wipe his tears on so I think he'll be OK. ^_^
