Conan O’Brien was at the center of a networking firestorm in 2010. His ouster as host of "The Tonight Show" created a lot of dispute. There was a large outpouring of assistance for Conan, led by supporters united under the moniker "Team Coco". TBS picked up O’Brien after he left NBC. The first episode airs on Monday, Nov. 8.
TBS debuts Conan O'Brien
Since January, every person has tried to figure out what Conan O'Brien's next move would be. This all was because he left "The Tonight Show". It has been common knowledge since April that he would be pushing back the George Lopez Show for a spot on TBS. The new show had been to be called simply “Conan.” Since then, promotional spots have been constantly running, and fans are patiently waiting for the first episode. The first episode of “Conan” will air on November 8, at 11 p.m. Eastern Time, according to CNN. Don't forget that shows play at different times and different channels across the U.S. so make sure you check your local listings.
Controversy between O'Brien and Leno isn't over yet
Conan O'Brien had been passed "The Tonight Show" from Leno back in June of '09. The “Jay Leno Show” debuted to mixed ratings, and it began to plummet. Rumor has it that the reason he left Tonight Show as that his time slot was getting knocked back an hour to give Leno a better time slot. When O'Brien decided this change wasn't worth it to stay on the air; he had to wait six months before reappearing regularly on TV.
It's about time
There has been a lot of hype over the debut of “Conan,” and hopefully it will live up to it. O'Brien has a huge fan base that has been anxiously waiting since January for his next more.
