Conan O'Brien's new show debuts on TBS

On November 8, 2010, Conan O'Brien made a significant return to television with the debut of his new show, 'Conan,' on TBS. The show aired Monday through Thursday at 11:00 pm ET/10:00 pm CT, marking a new chapter in O'Brien's career following his departure from NBC. His move to TBS was not without its challenges; it required the network to shift George Lopez's 'Lopez Tonight' back by one hour. Initially, O'Brien was hesitant to disrupt Lopez's show, recalling his own experience at NBC. However, after a personal call from Lopez urging him to join TBS, O'Brien agreed. This transition not only showcased O'Brien's resilience in the face of industry changes but also highlighted the camaraderie among late-night hosts. 'Conan' quickly became known for its unique blend of humor, celebrity interviews, and innovative sketches, solidifying O'Brien's place in the late-night landscape for years to come.
