COCO Signs With TBS

Conan O’Brien is back on T.V. but he is not going to Fox.  He is instead going to TBS for his new late-night show.  According to numerous media outlets, Fox was the leading station to sign Conan, so we are rather surprised he chose TBS over Fox. 

Conan spoke about the good news on twitter, “The good news: I will be doing a show on TBS starting in November! The bad news: I’ll be playing Rudy on the all new Cosby Show.” 

Based on the agreement he signed with NBC before departing, Conan has to wait till October to be back with any T.V. station or he would have to pay some money back to NBC.  So, Conan’s new show won’t start airing until November.  Until then, Conan is hitting the road to start a two-month, nationwide comedy tour in Eugene, Oregon. 

“In three months, I’ve gone from network television to Twitter to performing live in theaters, and now I’m headed to basic cable,” O’Brien said in a tongue-in-cheek-toned statement. “My plan is working perfectly.” 

Good luck COCO and congrats on the new gig.
