Conan O'Brien has just announced

He is leaving NBC

we had a lot of fun being here these last seven months but like everything in life

The fun has to come to an end a decade too early

so now everybody says what will Conan do

Conan might be going to a competitor of NBC's

he's a marketable guy who does appeal to younger viewers and may go to Fox or some other outlet

he can go to Fox or come here and take my job

Who would have imagined that the Mexican talk-show host would have the most job security

I'm not going nowhere

I'm right here every night, I'm not going nowhere

same channel, same time

Could you offer me position like Secretary of State Ambassador to Mexico, you know something where I could wear a badge

You know George you need to change late-night. That's the kind of change

I can believe in my fellow Americans. I stand before you an instrument of change

There are many Americans who become disenfranchised with the landscape of late-night TV

Correction perfect exist that we're taping the show in the middle of a street

When I started they're like

How are you gonna make it different but everybody has their own way to see what makes it different is the host

I mean the format is basically the format and the host kind of dictates what the show is and you'll be different because you're different

I

Think you got I think you've got some Latino in you bring our buildings you put Trump in gold letters. That's true

We love that you got five kids from three different baby mamas

Check it out. It's creepy. No white girl Jorge. There's no smoke machine up here. I

Know enough about you to know that you don't do talk show already though

He does not do not my kind of thing, but for you

What this moment is

Glory my guest Sandra Bullock

People said how did you get the president to do a promo? You know, I helped him get a birth certificate and that

Had a Kenyan one. I swapped it out

Check this dude out. Have you ever made gay porn?

Do you watch the Conan O'Brien?

Coenen fan not a Conan fan

Welcome to lopez tonight 2010

And it's already a good year for me i'm still on the same network

In the same time spot

Six weeks. I've been on with a three week break

That's Latino. That's full-time

and

that dude the other one the one with the gray hair cause I'm not the

Leno

I'll quickly they forget

Jay Leno

Hey, he's doing better than I thought

He's moving back to 11:30 and then the other dude

Conan

O'Brien

Maybe moving to Fox. Is that right? No, wait, he's moving in with Jamie Foxx

But you know, I don't care that nobody watching

Conan is like that girl in The Bachelor who gets the Rose, but then gets the boot in the post show

It opens Everest and

We've got big breaking news in the world of entertainment David according to the New York Times calm Conan

O'Brien is now saying he won't do the Tonight Show following Jay Leno

Conan O'Brien sent a letter to NBC. Why did he send a letter?

Only white people can send a letter.

To say that he's unhappy. A Mexican would just walk in: "Hey, tell them I'm not moving, eh?"

He no longer wants to host The Tonight Show if the show is to air in any other timeslot

angry at Conan for not accepting his offer NBC president Jeff Zucker

Said that he'll keep Conan off the air for three years

But that he'll also punish America by keeping Jay Leno on for seven more

Conan O'Brien on The Tonight Show as he's taped his final show

Seven months after it began after the taping was over Conan came out in front of the audience with a very personal message

I could happiest man in the world. Thank you so much for everything that you've given us and

We'll see

You have got to get a job we have 14 kids

Do something for this family Conan?

The last Wednesday Steve, Koonin

Who is the head of TBS?

flew from Atlanta to Burbank sat in my office and said I have something that sounds really crazy and I want to propose this to

You and let you know if I don't have your blessing this deal does not go forward

He said what would you think about Conan O'Brien coming to TBS? And

Taking the 11 o'clock spot and you go into midnight. I said, I think it's fantastic

He says will you call Conan and tell him how you feel about TBS? How you feel?

We do business and I said absolutely TBS and Warner Brothers and Telepictures has been nothing but great to Lopes tonight

They've been nothing but great to me and Conan is a wonderful asset to the TBS family

and also

I believe that this combination almost the same sex Desi Arnaz and Lucille Ball if you will

will take late night into the nude into a new generation and

Change the landscape Larry. I'm a Latino. I know something about landscape. It's gonna be fantastic. Come November

George what did Conan say to you when you called him and said it was all right with you What did he say to you?

You know, everybody's been asking me this question I haven't really answered his questions from the time that Conan I last spoke on Sunday

I'm gonna tell you and I think

Respectfully Conan will not have an issue with this

What he was concerned with was that he wasn't gonna do to me what was done to him at NBC

That was his biggest concern that he did not want to get as they say on Twitter

Leonard I am NOT getting Leonard I welcome Conan. I think that moving to midnight

Hey, I've got to work in Howard later. Come on

It's a dream come true and the pays the same

Conan O'Brien only wanted to know that he could do the type of show that he wanted to do and his biggest concern

Was that he was not going do to me what was done to him?

That is not the case. And if you hear about that, you didn't hear from me

That is not the case Conan O'Brien announcing yesterday. This is a great story that

He's signing with her. Yes already signed with TBS Turner Broadcasting System

To do a late night show at 11:30. I guess I think it's 11 o'clock 11 o'clock to do a late night show

He's now gone from the host of The Tonight Show

2 TBS turn abroad just to basic cable system

Conan I think you'll find our terms

very attractive

The network announced Monday the comedian will host a late-night talk show in November

The cable channel says it will be an hour long and air Monday through Thursday at 11 p.m

Lopez Tonight the show currently in that slot on TBS will shift to midnight

The news comes as O'Brien begins a comedy tour in Eugene, Oregon

He was quoted in the TBS news release saying in 3 months

I've gone from Network television to Twitter to performing live in theaters. And now I'm headed to basic cable. My plan is working perfectly

Like I said, I 100% totally agree and think he is a great asset to the TBS late-night family

Live via satellite here. He is my new partner in late-night Conan O'Brien

Hello everybody

Conan I'm happy that you're here, but I heard NBC was very strict about letting you appear on TV

I'm not on TV George. You're my basic cable

Recording come to the TBS. Yes. Yes to Conan's come. Yes

Will you go I'm going I'm staying I'm going to midnight

He's coming at 11 o'clock, and I'm going to midnight get the hell out of here. So

You're gonna move for the white man

Hey, he appreciate this I think the white man does appreciate him. Okay, you don't gotta clean up

How you doing, you know, I'm doing I'm doing please save your words

I'm doing great. I'm doing great. Thanks so much for having this is beautiful here. I'm just thrilled

I'm just I'm thrilled to be here. Welcome to TBS and really welcome to basic cable. It's thrilling. Basically I

Never heard basic cable get shrieks of excitement

Remember

This is really the kiss of death for a guy like Conan because TBS, you know, it's tough

When you're on NBC you're you know

You're you're a factor as I told him for many years stay on NBC at 12:30

Stay there be the guy who they're always gonna say boy. If only Conan had the tonight show would be huge

That's what they used to say

He'd get the young audience, you know become the myth. So to speak he had a great gig at NBC

But he hungered for this Tonight Show

hungered and

He got it. He went from being the next big thing to you'll follow Jay Leno

You'll take over the Tonight Show. You'll get the second-rate guests

You'll be the you know

it'll feel like four o'clock in the morning because Jay will already have done a ten o'clock and you will be screwed and

then after we fire you

Jay is gonna come back a hero. I mean you couldn't orchestrate the end of a career better than that

all by your good friends at NBC and

Beijing

WNBC and now Ted insult injury didn't go to Fox

For you, I was shocked. I wasn't Fox

Listen, they're afraid they're not gonna put up all that money and get a to share

They're not they make a fortune. How what is it rating at?

that-air

Robin they aired The Simpsons

They've got reruns that make a fortune

pods were still negotiating with

with Conan and

TBS just kind of swept in there and one of the problems Fox was having it's not a secret was a

Lot of the affiliates didn't want to do it because the affiliates were making more money off of these sitcoms that they bought like Everybody

Loves Raymond and

Seinfeld and all these shows

where they were making a lot of money and then if the network came in and said look you after a network show they weren't

Gonna make nearly as much money. So it was a problem for the network's it was

very expensive to do

While Fox was kind of mulling it over TBS just kind of swept in and then just made the deal

George Lopez made the right move

Because listen, he wasn't getting any attention over there, right good guy good town, but these on TBS let's cone and go on

Maybe he'll bring in an audience and then I'll get the UH and I'm gonna have the prayer and I won't have the pressure

smart man

Gets it. He probably just extended his show for another two or three years at least

What can I?

played again

Well, listen conan needs a job

Job job

He's a young man who wants to continue work. He got a 40 million dollars

So I'm some crazy number like that pay it was making money before so it wasn't like he needed even 40 million

I know he's got a four day a week schedule which by the way for kid to put yourself on the map on TBS

he ought to be working a five day a week schedule doesn't sound like

No, it does not. It sounds like a guy who just got 40 million dollars and he can coast

He should be on Monday through Friday and I doubt they're paying him a lot of money over a TBS. I really do it

He wasn't in any position to negotiate

So well, they gotta pay him something. Oh sure. I can't have their guy, you know

Taking the subway to work. All right, but listen, I'm happy for him

You got a job, but you really you know, the guy feels damaged

Going it premieres, November 8th at 11 only on TBS very funny

Welcome to my 2nd annual first show Oh

In the ratings barbarian they're our good buddy Conan O'Brien show premiered Monday night boy

Did he woof everyone take that Jay Leno while the ratings jumped in today?

I can tell you Conan's new show called Conan drew more than 4 million viewers on its opening night on our sister network

TBS that beat the daily show The Colbert Report David Letterman's the Late Show

And yes, the show that Conan was done from The Tonight Show

Well, people worked very hard to make this space for us

We set up a special time-lapse camera in here to record the amazing transformation from what the studio used to look like

Into what it looks like now

There's just one drawback to being on basic cable, and that's that there are hundreds of channels

Ok, and thanks to the whims of local cable providers finding TBS on your dial can vary wildly from town

To town. I didn't know that yeah isn't within one town. It's on differences

Yeah, and I had I had no idea when I made this deal. I

really should have put some thought into this but

Thankfully a good friend of mine has come up with a simple little song that's gonna help us all remember where to find TBS

Anywhere in the country if we can all memorize this song, we'll be set please welcome my good friend raisin

Oh

This is a fun rhythm

Mentone is either 17 or 62 depending how close to Florida you live

Anis 10 is 39 and for Birmingham

Here's advice. I give different providers have different rules over either on four five or 16 or 42 49. Yeah

anything in between

Hey, I get it. This is fun and it's so easy

Well then sing along you guys, okay?
