The Resume

    (November 8, 2010-June 24, 2021)
    Late night talk/variety show
    Originally aired on TBS
    Hosted by Conan O'Brien
    Music provided by Jimmy Vivino and the Basic Cable Band
    Announcer: Andy Richter
    Frequent sketeches/elements include 'Conan Blimp,' 'The Flaming C,' 'Interactive Backdrop,' 'Local News' and 'Tyler Perry's Row 11'

Why Conan might be annoying:

    Unlike his tenures during 'Late Night' and 'The Tonight Show,' this show is broadcast on cable, meaning the show is unavailable to those without cable or satellite.
    Conan reportedly asked FOX to carry his new show, but several network affiliates balked at the idea.
    In order for TBS to accommodate his show, George Lopez's talk show was moved from the 11PM time slot to the midnight one.
    Because of his fiasco with NBC which saw the re-hiring of Jay Leno as host of 'The Tonight Show,' Conan could not air his new talk show until at least September because of a buyout deal.
    Further delaying the debut to November was TBS's coverage of Major League Baseball's postseason.
    Also unlike his two previous talk shows, Max Weinberg was not the bandleader of the house band because of health problems.
    It was constantly beaten in the ratings by both broadcast TV talk shows and rival cable TV talk shows.
    In fact his ratings sank to levels even lower than either of his tenures on NBC.

Why Conan might not be annoying:

    In this incarnation, his folk favorite beard became a permanent fixture (as of 2011).
    In reality, George Lopez actually welcomed O'Brien to the TBS family.
    To promote the show, Conan used an orange blimp.
    Numerous celebs made cameo appearances in the series premiere's cold open.
    The premiere episode's ratings topped that of Jay Leno's for that particular day.
    Some TV analysts and critics say that because his show is now on cable television, Conan can have more creative control on his talk show.
