Conan O’Brien Is Leaving Late Night! Details on His New Gig
Comedian Conan O’Brien is saying goodbye to late night after nearly 30 years!
Following the 10th anniversary of his TBS show “Conan,” the 57-year-old will be moving on to a new variety show on HBO Max.
O’Brien joked in a statement, “In 1993, Johnny Carson gave me the best advice of my career: ‘As soon as possible, get to a streaming platform,’” he added, “I’m thrilled that I get to continue doing whatever the hell it is I do on HBO Max, and I look forward to a free subscription!”
Despite the move, Conan will continue to host “Conan Without Borders” on TBS.
The star hosted “Late Night with Conan O’Brien” from 1993 to 2009, and helmed “The Tonight Show” from 2009 to 2010 before moving to TBS.
