TBS is sticking with Conan O’Brien until 2022
In the year 2000 (plus 17 years): Conan O’Brien will extend his contract with TBS, making the guy who was publicly ousted from The Tonight Show the longest-tenured host in late-night. “The TV landscape has changed dramatically since I inherited the traditional talk show format in 1993,” O’Brien said in a statement. “In the past few years I’ve stumbled across many new and exciting ways of connecting with my audience, and I’m eager to evolve my show into something leaner, more agile, and more unpredictable. I also want a pony.”
