After the dust has settled, it looks like comedian Conan O’Brien is headed for TBS! He will host a late-night talk show that is expected to debut in November. The Emmy®-winning comedian’s new program will be followed by Lopez Tonight, which will shift to a midnight time slot.
George Lopez called up Conan himself to encourage him to seal the deal!
“I can’t think of anything better than doing my show with Conan as my lead-in,” Lopez said. “It’s the beginning of a new era in late-night comedy.”
O’Brien’s move to the cable network is solidifying their presence in late night television.
“For decades, late-night TV has been dominated by broadcast television,” said Steve Koonin, president of Turner Entertainment Networks. “Now, with a young audience and a growing late-night lineup, TBS is set to be the choice of comedy fans for years to come.”
His hour-long, yet-to-be-titled show Mondays through Thursdays at 11 p.m. (ET/PT).
