It's official, Conan O'Brien is back and is joining the TBS network. According to Alan Duke, O'Brien will be returning to late-night television in November. His new talk show will air during the week at 11:00pm leading into George Lopez's show, however, the show has not been given a name.
Luckily, Lopez is extremely excited to have O'Brien's show lead into his, because otherwise there could have been more issues in late-night television. Supposedly, it was Lopez who contacted O'Brien asking him to consider joining the TBS network which eventually led into the business negotiations.
"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 said in a news release. "My plan is working perfectly."
Since January, O'Brien has been off the air where NBC paid O'Brien and his staff about $40 million to clear the air and allow Leno to return to the "Tonight Show" host chair that he once handed to O'Brein. The settlement between NBC and O'Brien allows him to launch a competing show after September 1st of this year. With his new show starting in November, he is in the clear and ready to begin.
With all of these late-night television hosts it'll see who gets the ratings.
