Conan's Talk Show is Ending

 Variety is reporting that "Conan" will end in June of 2021. He will also start a weekly "variety series" on HBO Max.

It's such a gradual decline that it's hard to react too strongly at any stage. I thought the "Tonight Show" era was good but not quite as good as "Late Night". I thought the "Conan" show was not quite as good as the "Tonight Show". Then the "Conan" show became a short show with a podcast and I stopped really paying attention. 

Now he'll be on a premium service which I'm not willing to pay for, especially given the lack of detail about what kind of show it will be.

Well, I wish him good luck.

The C.O.B. on TBS?! Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday?!

It's official: Conan is not going to Fox, like most expected, and instead going to cable station TBS. WHAT?!

I'm not a fan of any network nor do I really hate any (oh, MTV is an exception) so I don't care as far as that goes but this is particularly tragic to me in that he's going to cable and I don't have cable. My only hope would be that the episodes would be available online (like the previous hulu deal) but I can't see that possibility as very likely as they want people to have to subscribe to cable to watch the cable content.

The other weird thing is that it's going to only be 4 shows a week. Huh?! That doesn't really make any sense.

Conan? 4 shows a week on a cable channel? I don't like it. Do it over.
