Feel bad for Conan. The only late-night guy who could ever get a chuckle out of me.

And fuck george lopez.

Can't see how Conan lines up with TBS' audience demo.

They also used to show Braves baseball. They're a superstation, and Ted Turner wanted to use TBS to make the Braves America's Team.

Now they only show the playoffs, which is weird given they stopped carrying Braves games the season after the Braves streak of playoff appearances ended.

I think this will be really good. He'll have no ratings bar to beat that a network would demand and he'll have enough freedom to do practically anything he wants, crude or otherwise.

Hey, hey, hey... Let's not forget Tyler Perry's House of Payne.

I see this as a bad career move for Conan (although I'm not sure if there was anything better on the table for him). I predict that he will disappear into obscurity on TBS. What's next for him, radio?
