When does Conans new show start

After almost 11 years of hosting Conan on TBS, late-night host Conan O'Brien is moving on. Starting soon, he'll be the host of a new weekly variety series on HBO Max, a streaming service owned by WarnerMedia (which also owns TBS).

O'Brien has been a staple of the late-night show scene for nearly 30 years. Originating as a writer for Saturday Night Live and The Simpsons, he replaced David Letterman on NBC's Late Night in the early 1990s. After hosting the show from 1993–2009, he became the host of The Tonight Show for seven months, during which he acquired the nickname "Coco". However, he was soon forced to exit this role due to chicanery from NBC and Jay Leno.

From 2010 onwards, he hosted Conan on cable station TBS. Though the format of this was similar to his previous hosting gigs, O'Brien was able to be much more ambitious with his new program. In 2015, O'Brien filmed segments in Cuba, becoming the first American television personality to do so in over 50 years, and in 2016 he visited South Korea and filmed in the Korean Demilitarized Zone. In 2018, he also began hosting a weekly podcast, Conan O'Brien Needs a Friend, which went on to feature guests such as acclaimed comedian Will Ferrell and zesty former president Barack Obama.

Few details have been released about O'Brien's new show, but it's expected to be a departure from his previous talk-show format. The hour-long finale episode of Conan will air on June 24th and will include a retrospective of his show as well as surprise celebrity guests.

Conan O’Brien left The Tonight Show after a brief tenure over a decade ago, but his untimely exit still stings the comedian. O’Brien — who hosted The Tonight Show between 2009 and 2010 before leaving after a bitter battle with the network over air time — spoke with Adweek about his controversial departure from NBC, and how the internet helped point him toward his next gig.

When asked by Adweek what it feels like to look back at his short time on The Tonight Show over 10 years later, O’Brien didn’t hold back.

“At this point, even beginning to try and explain to people all the different ways in which I thought that was a screwed-up situation—and in some ways unjust—is absolutely asinine and feels completely stupid and self-indulgent,” the comedian said, before adding, “But it was really important to me.”

O’Brien was tapped to replace Jay Leno on The Tonight Show in 2009, while Leno got his own show. But when both programs failed to pull in viewers, NBC brought Leno back for The Tonight Show and paid O’Brien to leave after just one season… All of which riled up the internet enough to start a movement of support behind O’Brien.

“Talk about luck: I happen to exist at a time when the internet at that point, 2010, is really starting to flex its muscles. There was this explosion online, and that took me completely by surprise. I didn’t see it coming,” O’Brien told Adweek, denying that he organized the online fervor that followed his Tonight Show ousting.

“That was a lot of young people who thought it was bullshit. And they use the internet, so they went to town, which led to this grassroots movement,” he explained. “From there it was immediately this feeling of: ‘Let’s do a show for these people.’

“It’s an interesting example of, take what you’ve been given. My sense of humor didn’t change, I didn’t change as a person,” O’Brien continued. “But the situation changed completely overnight from, I’m heading the oldest late-night franchise in America, the storied Tonight Show, to that’s over.”

O’Brien told Adweek, “I really didn’t want any of that craziness with NBC or Leno; I wasn’t looking for any of that. But once it happened, and this is the situation, you react to that situation using what skills you have.”

That “craziness” led him to go on tour, where O’Brien said he could give audiences “much more vaudeville” than he could have ever as host of The Tonight Show.

After touring, O’Brien landed at TBS, where he hosted Conan for 11 years on the network before ending his show in 2021. But O’Brien is far from retirement — he’s forging ahead with his podcast, Conan O’Brien Needs a Friend, and working on a new show on HBO Max.

While O’Brien didn’t divulge many details about his HBO Max series — even telling Adweek “nothing’s been formalized” at the streamer — he hinted that progress isn’t too far off.

‘My hope is that we will be working on that this fall, and we can start to get it going,” O’Brien said.
