    AceShowbiz –
    Conan O’Brien has revealed the end date of “CONAN”. More than four months after announcing his departure from the long-running TBS late-night show, the host unveiled that it will end its run in June.

    The 58-year-old spilled the date in the Monday, May 3 episode of the self-titled show. “As some of you have heard, it’s been out there for a while now, but we’re making it official. We are winding down our TBS show. The plan is to re-emerge on HBO Max sometime in the near future with, I think, what will be my fourth iteration of a program. Imagine a cooking show with puppets and you’ll have the wrong idea,” he first shared.

    “Our last episode here at TBS will be on June 24th. Now the plan is we’re going to be showing a lot of clips of his favorite moments from the last 11 years,” the comedian further divulged. “We’re going to have some special guests. We’re going to create, I think, a really fun, special environment and it’s going to be, I think, a lot of fun.”

    Conan also spilled the reason why he left “CONAN”. He explained, “A very old Buddhist monk once told me that to pick something up, you must first put something down. I’ll be honest with you, he was drunk out of his skull and very belligerent. And I maintain you can pick up two things if you use both hands. He just got mad and started swinging at me, so I ended the conversation and took his advice.”

    Before ending his message, Conan said, “I just want to point out that for 11 years, the people at Turner have been absolutely lovely to me and everyone here at the staff. They gave me a home when I needed one most and I am eternally grateful and very proud of what we’ve accomplished here.” He added, “And so, what I’d like is, I’d like these last couple of weeks to be a fond look back at all the absurd madness my team and I have concocted.”

    The TV personality then joked, “Best of all, I want to point out, there will be shockingly few, if any, references to Donald Trump because that’s always been my favorite kind of comedy.”

    Conan confirmed his exit back in November 2020. He first joined the late-night circuit in 1993, taking over from David Letterman as the host of “Late Night”. He then launched “CONAN” on TBS in 2010.

      The TV personality joined the late night circuit in 1993 when he took over from David Letterman as the host of “Late Night” and launched “Conan” on U.S. network TBS in 2010. The show had previously been renewed until 2022.
      “28 years is a monumental achievement in late-night television,” said Brett Weitz, general manager for TNT, TBS and truTV. “We’re incredibly proud of the groundbreaking work that Conan and his team have accomplished during the 10 years at TBS and are so glad that we will continue to have his presence on our air with the ‘Conan Without Borders’ specials. We celebrate his success and are glad to see it grow across our WarnerMedia family.”
      “Conan’s unique brand of energetic, relatable, and at times, absurdist, comedy has charmed late-night audiences for nearly three decades. We can’t wait to see what he and the rest of Team Coco will dream up for this brand new, variety format each week,” said Casey Bloys, chief content officer of HBO and HBO Max.

      Conan O'Brien Slams Burglar Stealing Clapperboard From Talk Show's Set: 'That's the Lowest'

      The 57-year-old comedian laments the robbery that has hit the makeshift set of his late night talk show ‘CONAN’ at the Coronet nightclub, saying, ‘I can’t think of anything lower.’

      Oct 27, 2020
      AceShowbiz – Conan O’Brien could not believe the boldness of those robbing the makeshift set of “CONAN”. When sharing with viewers that a few laptops and a clapperboard had gone missing from the temporary set at Largo at the Coronet Theater, the late night talk show host called the move made by the burglar “the lowest.”
      The 57-year-old opened up about the burglary in the Monday, October 26 episode of “CONAN”. Speaking to field producer Jason Chillemi, he went into details about what was stolen. Upon learning that the culprit had even taken a slate, he commented, “They took that, that’s the lowest. I can’t think of anything lower. Okay, the laptops – fine. [But] you took the slate? That’s crazy.”
      Wondering why the burglar took the device used to mark scenes and takes, Conan asked, “What’s a robber gonna do with this thing.” He went on to state, “It’s what kids use, it’s what 16-year-olds use to make a student film, probably in Hollywood they’re on the street, they’re everywhere, and he took it. It’s ridiculous.”

      Before pointing out the ridiculousness of the robbery, Conan noted that he set up his show at the West Hollywood venue since he wanted to help the place which was affected by the coronavirus pandemic. “Seemed like a nice thing to do,” he explained. “What happens? We get here this morning and we find out that someone broke into our little theater and took some of our equipment.”
      “We got robbed, Andy, Robbed! And whoever broke in here had to stare at 350 cardboard cutouts of exuberant fans in the eyes and say, ‘Hey, don’t mind me. I’m going to steal some s**t,’ ” Conan told fellow comedian Andy Richter as he made a reference to the fake audience set up by the show’s crew in the studio.

      Nonetheless, Conan took the incident lightheartedly. “What happened to us? We’ve become this garage band that drives around. We’ve got our van and we parked it in an alley, and someone broke in and took our amps. What is that? This doesn’t happen to the other talk show hosts,” he quipped while laughing. “Man, just for the laugh alone, maybe it’s worth it.”
