Conan O’Brien Going To TBS

2:04 pm EST April 12th, 2010 | TV | 6 Comments

Well, that’s odd.

In a move it’s safe to say no one saw coming, Conan O’Brien has found a new home on basic cable, signing a deal to host a one-hour late-night talk show on TBS.

O’Brien’s as-yet untitled 11 p.m. show will bow on the Turner network in November, shifting Lopez Tonight to the midnight time slot.

In a statement released Monday afternoon, TBS indicated that it had begun talking with O’Brien just last week, after George Lopez personally lobbied the former Tonight Show host to join TBS’ late-night lineup.

‘In three months I’ve gone from network television to Twitter to performing live in theaters, and now I’m headed to basic cable,’ O’Brien cracked. ‘My plan is working perfectly.’

andy richter The new Tonight Show is going to be even better than we thought.

Conan O’Brien will have a familiar face when he begins his new ‘The Tonight Show with Conan O’Brien’ run on NBC: Andy Richter.

Richter will fill the role once held by Ed McMahon, serving as the announcer for the ‘Tonight Show’ when Conan O’Brien takes over the reigns from Jay Leno on June 1.

Conan O’Brien Gets Screwed By Jay Leno

conan o'brien He’s not the first in late night tv to have that happen to him (see Letterman, David) but at the end of the day I feel Conan’s Tonight Show will outlive Jay’s talk show in primetime in how much it actually impacts culture.

I watched a couple minutes of Leno the other day and the big comedy bit was Jay finding “wacky” items on Ebay then seeing if they actually sold or not. Really. And it isn’t like Jay doesn’t know what’s funny. When he used to sub for Johnny Carson he was genuinely humorous. But then he got the Tonight Show and got safe, safe even by the standards of network tv. And safe = stale.
