The late-night talk show will sign off in 2021.
November 17, 2020
It is being reported that Conan will be ending its run on TBS after 10 seasons. The move walks back the talk show's last pickup in 2017, which was a four-year order that would have seen it on the air through 2022. But with it being the year 2020, renewals no longer mean as much as they used to.
Hosted by Conan O'Brien, the titular talk show began in 2010, when the comedian moved to TBS after leaving his brief stint hosting The Tonight Show on NBC after a dispute with the network. The series started out in the typical hour-long format, but was scaled back to a half-hour in 2019 so O'Brien could make more time for his podcast and his Conan without Borders specials where he would travel to countries around the world.
The end of Conan means that O'Brien will not be hosting a nightly talk show for the first time in 28 years. He won't be going away completely though, as he is tapped to helm an upcoming weekly variety series on HBO Max as well as continue with his international specials.
For now, though, Conan will remain on the air through June 2021.

At least legit spam comments usually come with the promise of a way to make money or grow an appendage. Your "canceled by cancel culture" comments are dumb AF. Conan has another show lined up at another network with more freedom to make the content he wants. He got out of a contract early to pursue a more lucrative and creatively satisfying option - hahahaaaaa he so got fired and should be ashamed for having a political opinion different than other people's political opinions haaaahhaaaaa.
Grow up.
And these assholes wonder why people are getting rid of cable at an accelerated rate.
Well this is why.
But with it being the year 2020, renewals no longer mean as much as they used to.
Ouch but so true.
