Attention all Conan fans! The Jolly Red Giant has finally found a place for his late night talk show! TBS has offered Conan the 11pm time slot in the their weekday lineup, pushing back George Lopez's late show to the midnight spot. However, because Conan would not go down the same path that's Leno did, he refused to accept the deal until Lopez himself called Conan and offered him the spot (apparently, George was pretty keen on the idea of having Conan as a lead-in. I agree). A true gentleman and a scholar. Conan's new show is slated to start in November, will run for one hour, and will air Monday-Thursday (one day less than Letterman and Leno's shows). For more information about the deal, see the links below:
