Conan
TBS, 10 p.m. Series Finale
Conan O’Brien’s long-running late-night show comes to an end tonight in this hourlong finale that looks back on the past 11 years of this iteration of his lengthy late-night career. O’Brien, the longest-serving current latenight talk show host in the U.S., began his late-night career in 1993 when NBC tapped him to take over as host of “Late Night.” His late-night career has since spanned three
shows over 28 years. Next up, O’Brien will turn his focus to his deal with WarnerMedia and the development of his new show for HBO Max.
