sadly I think he i seeing the limits of being on a channel like TBS

this move probably will let them push for more viewers via something like youtube where they can post longer skits/material that is different than just interviews

honestly though even as a Conan fan, have you ever tried to watch his show every day for an extended period of time? A lot of his material repeats a lot so maybe this is for the best

Hopefully it will be for the better. Conan over at TBS haven't really been great.

I would like it if they made more of the travelling episode they've been doing recently. They are great.

his own fault. As much as I hate Leno and NBC he should have stuck it out there. TBS is fucking.... TBS. It's amazing the show has lasted as long as it has. Conan coming up from nothing and his conviction surely have helped tough.

Late night talk is coming close to retirement.

I think that's the point. Its going to be more of a travel series. I'll miss the Jordan remotes though

but now we finally might have a Jordan and Conan goes to Italy episode

He didn't even need to stay at NBC he had an offer from Fox but he decided to go to fucking TBS instead.

The wrinkles have gotten to him.

He got an offer from Fox WHILE he was at NBC but decided to stick around because they promised him the Tonight Show after Leno retires. I think you know the rest

yay, wanted this to happen didn't think it would.

That would be really entertaining.

late night as a whole feels like it is in the shitter as the regular audience (watching on actual tv at the scheduled time) gets smaller and the hosts get more similar

most of these shows are surviving on youtube clips/hype anyways... mediocre guys like Fallon and James Corben are basically only getting recognition on the viral shit...nobody gives a damn about their interviews. It also took quite a while for Jimmy Kimmel to get popular and even then it was probably from the crap like "I told my kids I ate their halloween candy" that people even started to pay attention

He was my favorite. Andy was great. Then they decided to be political archons and they ruined it. They could have had more influence for their causes if they didn't shill for Hill constantly.

I want that so bad, kek let this happen please.

This. The internet killed the format.

>Jordan and Conan goes to Italy episode
YES

FUCKING YES

FUND IT

honestly, he should just make skits. thats the only reason i would watch it. to this day i never watched him with a guest except back in the day when he was on nbc and we didnt have cable.

He should take over the late show from colbert.

Conan should either do a serious roundtable discussion show like his abandoned youtube show or some kind of history show, either way

He would only have one or two good zingers throughout a whole show anyways. You get played out after 25 years of doing the same thing.

This will allow him to put out higher quality stuff.

>Conan should either do a serious roundtable discussion show like his abandoned youtube show

what?

Bah. Cones needs to move back to NYC. Hollywood never did anything good.

Serves him right for trusting the jews

I guess I shouldn't call it abandoned, he did some videos last year, but I'm ready for more

Have you seen his Youtube views?

He's obviously way more popular on that format and it's not like he's hurting for money.

He could literally just travel and see the world with a YouTube crew for the rest of his life.

I really miss 90s / eary 2000s Jay leno
The only sin the guy committed was that he didn't wanna leave his show which he loved.

He should make more travelling videos, more Jordan videos and more clueless gamer. Those are the best.

God I'd love to see that. They have great chemistry together and Jordan is a very one of a kind person.

Thing is he eventually left anyway.

He could've just delayed retirement until he was actually ready instead of trying to maintain a nightly presence.

How much do you think Youtube pays? He has 90-200k views on most videos, can't even compete with Angry Joe.

Late night television is outdated. Ratings across all shows are terrible.

Conan has a website that plays full episodes with commercials, the youtube stuff is more like free samples.

TBS was a mistake

Colbert and Conan's contracts are up at around the same time. Should be interesting if CBS decides to make a move. Kimmel reruns are beating Colbert new shows.

When you have as much money as he does, you can work the hours you want to.

Not American. What's the problem with this TBS channel?

pornstars name?

Well I knew something had to change with those ratings but: How can they be profitable that way?

And I hope this will increase quality and have them produce more out of studio stuff.

But I think this is only a way to have the show on the air for 1 more years so the staff of his company has time to search for new jobs.

>This. The internet killed the format.

Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon has more than 12 million subscribers on youtube, they don't care if TV ratings go down because they can still milk the internet.

Did they really? I already hated them for the Rapefugee shit in the Germany episode.

I love conan, but I don't watch all of his episodes.
Hopefully this will raise the quality of the stuff I actually have time to watch.

>He could literally just travel and see the world with a YouTube crew for the rest of his life.
No he couldn't.

>Colbert and Conan's contracts are up at around the same time. Should be interesting if CBS decides to make a move. Kimmel reruns are beating Colbert new shows.
Please

1million views = $1k

James Cordon too with that karaoke carpool shit.

maybe for a first-timer but a heavily advertised channel like Fallon's will have a special deal with Youtube regarding commissions, each of his videos is basically guaranteed to get a million views

Man Jay Leno totally fucked over his entire career hard. Conan was gonna be great as the guy at NBC.

No they won't. It all depends on how many ads have been watched. That is what the companies whos ads are shown pay for.

So even if you watch a video but have adblock they get shit.

TNS ratings were slipping when conan was hosting tho.

Only when Leno became his lead in

If it increases the quality i'm all for it. I love Conan but man. Ditch your shit tier Hollywood writers and do your own shit.

Same writers. His skits have always been weak as fuck.
Only his improvised stuff is great.

I don't believe for a second he has the same writers as he did in new york.

But he does. Only one left 3 or 4 years ago

Give Craig Ferguson the other days out of the week! I miss Craigy Ferg and Geoff and secretariat

Shut up fag

Everyone calm your tits. It's not going weekly yet and it was actually Conan's idea to change things up:

>hollywoodreporter.com/live-feed/conan-obrien-remain-nightly-tbs-boss-kevin-reilly-says-961128

In fact it could be even better.

He wants to "formalise" all the different shit that he's been doing on the show, which includes an entire Clueless Gamer spin-off show:

>We're going into production next month on a new series, Clueless Gamer, based on the viral video he's done where he essentially makes fun of video games, gets celebrities to play and makes commentary on them. We've gotten to the point where video game companies are sending us their new product for us to play and make fun of because it's been such a huge success. We're going to go into production on a series of that.

Nostalgia might be blinding you. Conan always shat on his skits and for good reason. Conan's strengths come from his improv which are demonstrated in his remote bits.

I watched every Conan episode during the first year or two of his TBS show due to NEETdom

>Mocks Trump
>Being pro Bernie
>Takes photos with refugees in Germany Special
>This happens

TRUMP CURSE TAKES ANOTHER VICTIM

4 MORE YEARS, OF LIBERAL TEARS

I KNOW ITS YOU, MIRIAM! YOU OLD HAG!

Because his company is dying.
Of course he has to change things up.

This and Mel Gibson Viking movie.

Then I can shoot myself.

I thought he had no choice in the matter. I thought NBC came to him, and said we're giving you 6more years, and than you have to step down as the host of the Tonight show, and let team coco take over your show because we believe Conan will help bring in a younger demographic.

>Clueless Gamer spin-off show
Fuck that bullshit

>hating Conan shitting on games
pleb pls.

This. It's fun for 5 minutes but a full show will be worse than Lip Sync Battle the show

I like what I read in this article. Sounds like they are embracing the internet and understand that nightly talk shows on network tv are fading, and that perhaps people are more likely to tune in to an actual television weekly rather than daily, so perhaps in future they can put conan weekly, but still maintain a "day to day communication with the viewer" via the internet. It's risky and is a little out of the box, but that's a good thing imo.

Sounds like they are legitimately letting Conan have input and decide what he wants to do concerning the whole thing. That's a positive.

You are now aware that Final Fantasy XV video makes this happen.

Yes he could you fucking moron.

Kill yourself, don't ever post again.

Now I only don't have to watch him one day a week.

Late night comedy died with Leno.

No he couldn't.
You can't pay a 100+ people staff let alone for the studio with 300k views per video.

Yea, NBC promised him the tonight show to keep him from going to Fox. The offer didn't stand some 2-3 years later when Conan was leaving NBC.

Why are these blocked in Canada?

This is what happened
NBC didn't think that Leno could sustain the #1 late night spot but he proved them wrong
He was pretty much forced out. Conan's version of the Tonight Show sucked and didn't get Leno numbers. NBC realized they fucked up, gave Leno the lead into Conan thinking it would help keep people around for Conan and would prevent Leno from competing against their show.
