Conan O’Brien’s 10‑Year Journey Comes to a Close — But he’s not going anywhere
After a decade of late‑night laughs, Conan O’Brien will say goodbye to his TBS home in June 2021, but if that’s the end, it’s only because of the best move he never thought he’d have to make: a leap to HBO Max.
In a statement that’s half‑joking, half‑dream‑y, Conan recalled a piece of stellar advice from one of the greats:
“Back in ’93, Johnny Carson told me, ‘As soon as possible, get to a streaming platform.’ I’m psyched to keep doing whatever the hell I do over on HBO Max and, hey, a free subscription would be the cherry on top!”
Washington, DC – A few weeks ago it turned out that Conan had a real-life V–J— Victim of Jack the Ripper— because thieves wrecked his set and ripped out laptop gear used for those Zoom‑happening interviews, even snatching the show’s clapperboard. The animate host refused to let the robbery dampen his laughter. “We were robbed, Andy,” he declared to side‑kick Andy Richter. “And whoever stole a while ago had to stare at 350 cardboard cutouts of fans and think, I’ll steal something before the crowd notices!”
Still Going to the Next Level
- Brett Weitz, GM of %tnt%, %tbs%, and %truTV%: “Reaching 28 years is colossal. We’re proud of every funny moment that aired in TBS’s 10‑year slot. We’ll keep Conan Without Borders live when it’s safe.”
- Casey Bloys, HoBO & HoBO Max COO: “This energetic, relatable brand of absurdist comedy charmed us for almost 30 years. Can’t wait for the brand‑new variety show weekly.”
- Conan himself: “So let’s roll this off for a bit. But don’t worry folks, Conan Without Borders will be back when the world talks safety again.”
And now, fun‑laced worlds ready to rewrite the late‑night tone under a new hood— a “once‑unstated” weekly variety series. While the old TBS TBS new show is slashing the lights, you’ll find the full-fledged lineup in those piggybacks on the HBO Max streaming splashy app.
In short
- Conan O’Brien moving
- Release of 2021,
- New series on streaming tech
