TBS’s talk show Conan is ending its 11-year-long run soon. Host Conan O’Brien made the news official on YouTube, saying that the show’s last episode will air on June 24th.
According to O’Brien, the final weeks of Conan will include a “fun look back” to some of the most interesting moments that the show had to offer in the past years and is set to feature an extensive lineup of special guests.
O’Brien won’t cut ties with TBS altogether, as his series of specials Conan Without Borders will continue its run on the network.
Conan O’Brien’s next venture will be producing and hosting a “weekly variety show” with HBO Max as well as taking part in other projects with this streaming service. Although there are few details about the upcoming weekly show, it is expected to include a different format compared to O’Brien’s past work.
O’Brien started Conan after his infamous exit from The Tonight Show in 2010. Originally an hour-long talk show before being scaled to a half-hour format in 2019, the program features comedy bits, recurring sketches, celebrity guests, and more.
During its run, which will include around 1,500 episodes when everything is said and done, Conan received several Primetime Emmy Awards nominations—Outstanding Creative Achievement in Interactive Media in 2012 and Original Creative Achievement in Interactive Media within an Unscripted Program in 2018.
