Months after being jettisoned as the host of "The Tonight Show," Conan O'Brien announced Monday that we will join cable channel TBS in November to host a late-night talk show.
"In three months I've gone from network television to Twitter to performing live in theaters, and I'm headed to basic cable," O'Brien says. "My plan is working perfectly."
O'Brien's still-unnamed show will be an hour long and shown Monday through Thursdays at 11 p.m. EST/PST. George Lopez's "Lopez Tonight" will be bumped to midnight – but there are apparently no hurt feelings between the two, as Lopez was the one to originally approach O'Brien to join the cable channel.
"I can't think of anything better than doing my show with Conan as my lead-in," Lopez says. According to TBS, the deal between the channel and O'Brien came together last week.
