As promised, last night Conan O'Brien performed the first same-sex marriage on television, by officiating nuptials between CONAN costume designer Scott Cronick and his partner David Gorshein. Watch and try not to get teary: more ›

Last night, Conan O'Brien was live from the Beacon Theatre, airing one of four episode of his TBS late night talk show from his former hometown. O'Brien declared that even though it had been two (harrowing) years since leaving NYC, he felt it was like he never left. So Mayor Bloomberg paid him a visit to give him the new NYC citizenship. Sample questions: How do you get from Ozone Park to Carnegie Hall? (The A to the L to the Q) What is Derek Jeter's greatest accomplishment? (Obviously) more ›

Conan O'Brien returns to New York this month, and he's ringing in his arrival with a museum dedicated to himself. The COCO MoCA will be housed on the 2nd floor of the Time Warner Center from October 24th through November 3rd. Inside, you will find 50 pieces created by artists, each an homage to everyone's favorite ginger. Here's a preview, but if you go in person, you'll also get an audio tour voiced by Conan and Andy Richter, and you'll be able to experience the Conan Loveseat, an "interactive robotic couch sculpture that talks to fans, hugs them and takes a picture for them." more ›

Even though Smurf Week is officially done terrorizing the city, the anti-Smurf sentiment continues to grow, with none other than Harrison Ford himself pouring out a nice, tall glass of Haterade on last night's Conan. more ›

Last year, following his departure from NBC (for TBS), Conan O'Brien took his downtime to travel the country with a live stage show. This tour was documented, and now you can check out all the behind-the-scenes antics, and breakdowns, when it's released on June 24th. The trailer is below, though in our opinion it needs a lot more Reggie Watts (who opened on the tour). As for O'Brien, he'll be back on stage in New York later this year. more ›

It's a Conan O’Brien stage show reboot. The late night talk show host is bringing his live act back to New York. TBS has announced that O'Brien will take the Beacon Theater stage from October 31st to November 3rd, all in celebration of his one year anniversary move to TBS (he'll also be swinging by Chicago in 2012). more ›

The Late Night Drama that started nearly a year ago has come as full circle as it's going to, with Conan O'Brien back on television as a host. He returned with self-mockery, and high ratings last night—drawing more viewers than both Jay Leno and David Letterman. more ›

Tonight Conan O'Brien returns to your television set, with his new show premiering on TBS at 11 p.m. EST. So if you joined Team Coco way back at the beginning of the year, now's your chance to make good on your loyalty (even if he didn't come back to NYC). He's got a website set up, and he's been Tweeting in anticipation. His last time hosting a show was in January, when he had quite a send-off from The Tonight Show. more ›

The Emmys showed the nomination love to Glee, Mad Men, Lost, Modern Family, The Good Wife, and many more programs. Glee's Matthew Morrison and Lea Michele got lead acting nods, while Chris Colfer and Jane Lynch were recognized in the supporting category (if Lynch doesn't win, it'll just be another Emmy screwup), as part of Glee's 19 nominations. And here's a show that we'd like to see win: Conan O'Brien's Tonight Show was nominated for best variety or sketch comedy program (as well as best writing for variety or sketch comedy), while Letterman and Leno's show weren't. more ›

Remember when NBC fired Conan O'Brien for not getting good ratings, moving Leno back to his old post at The Tonight Show? Then most of America got on Team Coco while Leno prepped for his comeback and O'Brien took his show on the road? Well the numbers are in, and Leno is not only getting lower ratings than O'Brien did, but he's not beating Letterman either (they're tied). Probably should have seen this coming when O'Brien joined Twitter and within hours had double the amount of Leno's followers. [via WWTDD] more ›

Conan O'Brien recently went on 60 Minutes to finally talk about that whole thing that happened to him earlier this year. Unfortunately, due to a disparagement agreement he was unable to unleash his fury on Jay Leno and NBC, but luckily some scientists at Funny or Die were able to read his mind and translate his comments. more ›

Conan O'Brien was finally back on the air last night, albeit briefly. He sat down for an interview, his first since leaving NBC, that aired on 60 Minutes. We already knew some of what he'd be saying—but he added that the interview probably wouldn't have taken a different tone even if he didn't have an agreement barring him from disparaging Jay Leno and his former employer. He also discussed how small victories like finally growing a beard, and larger ones like his current stage show, have helped him get through the year, where he's admitted to getting "very depressed at times." Here's a clip from last night's show: more ›

A taste of Conan O'Brien's first on-air interview has made it online. This Sunday the 60 Minutes segment will run, in which the show's Steve Kroft goes face-to-face with the late night talk show host, who until now hasn't been allowed to speak on-air... though he still can't make any disparaging remarks about his former employer or Jay Leno. more ›

Conan O'Brien is currently making his way around the country with his stage show (he's at Radio City in June) and while the late night talk show host may not be allowed back on the air with his own show until later this year, as of May 1st he's allowed to speak publicly for the first time since leaving NBC. And CBS is getting the exclusive! more ›

Conan O'Brien kicked off his tour last night in Oregon just hours after announcing his return to late night. His new show will begin airing in November at 11 p.m. on TBS, and his arrival will push George Lopez's show to the midnight slot. But Conan wasn't pulling a Leno—word is that he originally told the cable channel, "You guys already have an 11 p.m. show. We’re not putting ourselves in the position of shoving somebody out of his show." more ›

Conan O'Brien just Tweeted some big news, announcing: "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." more ›

Et tu, Weinberg? It appears Conan O'Brien's longtime bandleader, Max Weinberg, may be crossing the late night war battle lines and joining Team Leno! According to Movieline "Weinberg recently made overtures to Leno about joining the new Tonight Show as Leno’s bandleader. He’d be replacing Kevin Eubanks, who announced in February that he had plans to leave the show." The shocking news may be welcome to those on the inside; allegedly he wasn't a favorite amongst staffers. Why's that? "When O’Brien’s show was still located in New York, Weinberg would send interns to do gardening work at his house on the New Jersey shore." Make a note of it, Leno interns. more ›

Jay Leno managed to get some of the spotlight from Conan O'Brien, who has recently kept relevant the only ways he can (until September): via Twitter and an untelevised stage show. Leno seems to be playing the victim; according to the Daily News he recently told Joy Behar that he got screwed just as much as Conan did (video). He added, "I don't quite get why I get beat up over it. I know people don’t really understand sort of how this business works. It's all numbers. You know, the affiliates wanted us back, so we came back. Conan got screwed and I got screwed." more ›

Is Fox still courting Conan or does the network have the host nearly locked down for a future late night program? According to reports, he's been presented with the outline of a deal for a show on Fox, but no official offer has been made. This is according to the Hollywood Reporter, who note the talks aren't exclusive, and allegedly "O'Brien has been pitched about two dozen ideas for his next TV gig, including five or six legitimate enough for consideration." Meanwhile, TMZ reports that Fox execs have been in touch with several affiliates, "applying pressure" to put Conan on the air during the 11 o'clock hour. more ›

As expected/hoped, Conan O'Brien is hitting the road for a comedy tour. He Tweeted the news this morning, "Hey Internet: I'm headed to your town on a half-assed comedy & music tour. Go to http://TeamCoco.com for tix. I repeat: It's half-assed." more ›

Jay Leno made his return to television last night, reclaiming The Tonight Show desk from Conan O'Brien (who has been banished to Twitter). One of Leno's many, many critics, Howard Stern, was on CBS's Early Show today where he said, "Just the mere mention of Jay Leno's name makes me to want to vomit. I don't like this guy. I don't disguise it. [He] seems to be the kind of showbiz animal that won't let go. Jay is a lap dog." He said if Leno was a real man, when he was originally replaced by Conan he would have moved to another network and tried to beat both him and Letterman in ratings. Well, last night he did beat Letterman, but Conan still has almost a half million more Twitter followers! more ›

It seems that Conan O'Brien maneuvered a departure deal with NBC that would allow him to make public appearances, as long as they weren't televised. As such, the comedian and former Tonight Show host may be concocting a stage show until he can get back on the air in September. An insider told the NY Post that "There's nothing to stop him doing his show in front of an audience at venues like Radio City. It will build more buzz for him as he negotiates his next television contract. It will also keep Conan happy because he doesn't want to be out of the public consciousness for too long." more ›

Jay Leno is doing some damage control after his role in the Great Late Night War of 2010. He went on Oprah today to talk about taking back the The Tonight Show from Conan O'Brien, saying he doesn't regret anything, because the decisions made weren't his. He told the daytime host, "Anything they did would have been better. If they had come in and shot everybody, it would have been, ‘Oh, the people were murdered.’ But it would have been a two day story.” more ›

Did you see Conan's "Free Bird" farewell on Friday night? He's now off the air until at least September 1st, with the NY Post further igniting rumors that his next move may be to Fox. They report that more talks will likely be starting this week between two parties, and Fox has looked at clearing their 11 p.m. time slot. Currently the network doesn't have a late night lineup—their last attempt was with Chevy Chase in 1993, whose show was canceled after four weeks; prior to that Joan Rivers lasted less than a year. Their entertainment president says, "He's one of the few guys on the planet who has demonstrated he can do one of these shows every night." They'd reportedly like to close a deal with the host quickly—and one Conan source says he'd want a big budget, and "won't do anything that is not a high-quality show." more ›

Last night Conan O'Brien bid his final farewell to The Tonight Show, with some help from guests Tom Hanks, Steve Carell and Neil Young.

The day is finally here: tonight's Tonight Show will be the last hosted by Conan O'Brien. With the departure deal now signed, the Wall Street Journal discusses how the host will do with that whole nondisparagement clause thing. At any rate, he had no pause when it came to taking shots at the network during last night's show (though Robin Williams did most of the dirty work). He's also joked about some loopholes: like being able to trash NBC in Spanish, or in song. more ›

Finally, Conan O'Brien — with just two more nights behind his Tonight Show desk — has reached an agreement with NBC. According to the NY Times, negotiations went into the night and resulted in a deal that will pay him about $32 million and allow him back on the small screen in 8 months time. The deal was signed around 1 a.m. PCT, and the Wall Street Journal reports that he also secured about $12 million for his staff. more ›

Another day, another barrage of Conan O'Brien news items to filter through. With just a few more shows left at NBC, last night Conan declared: I am just three days from the biggest drinking binge in history." He also said that he'd be "making a move to Fox... Megan Fox." more ›

So much news in the Conan O'Brienosphere today. First off, TMZ reports that while the late night talk show host may not get to keep Triumph & Co. he is getting a $32.5 million payout upon leaving NBC and his Tonight Show hosting desk. He is free to move on to another network, but not until September. And since Conan loves his cast and crew, who have been with him since Day 1, you know he looked out for them during negotiations. Rumor has it they are all getting paid severance by the network, grand totaling their payout at around $40 million. more ›
