Conan (O'Brien), what is best in life?

Did they start on network TV, have a long run there, get promoted to the prime spot in late night, then downgrade to a cable network best known for reruns and programming it no longer has (Braves and WCW wrestling)?

Conan agrees with you. From his statement yesterday:

"In three months I've gone from network television to Twitter to performing live in theater, and now I'm headed to basic cable," O'Brien said in the statement. "My plan is working perfectly."

George Lopez might not be so thrilled with the move:

George Lopez's carefully staged delight at the arrival of Conan O'Brien to TBS is a total act, sources tell Page Six. In fact, Lopez was warned by network chiefs he would be axed if he didn't welcome O'Brien with open arms. "George was initially opposed to the idea of moving his time slot to make room for Conan on TBS," said a source. "He was told that if he wasn't supportive, his show would not be renewed. The Lopez camp is even more disheartened by the fact that Conan's contract states that if Lopez's show is canceled, then Conan will be able to develop a show for the midnight hour, as well . . . it's in Conan's best interest for Lopez's show to fail." A TBS rep said, "These claims are completely untrue. TBS has been unequivocal in its support of George Lopez. Conan O'Brien and his team also fully support George's show." Lopez's rep said, "This information is false and fabricated."

So if Steve Bedrosian blows a save late or if Bob Horner hits a three-run homer in the bottom of the 9th to tie it and force extra innings, does that mean Coco will be on after the Braves Postgame Interview with Joe Torre?

No, but his show will start at 11:05 p.m. EST.

Maybe next they'll bring back Night Tracks.

It'd be awesome if Conan's first musical guest is Zamfir.

Heard Richter interviewed on the Nerdist Podcast five days before the announcement where he said, "Every indication is that the Fox negotiations are going well."

I'm getting the sense that it might have been TBS or nothing, although it sounds like they got a pretty good deal.

Fox's PR department crapping on someone who had bid away to a competitor? Say it isn't so.
