TBS show 'Conan' moves from daily to weekly screening schedule

Conan, the late-night cable talk show that premiered in November 2010 on TBS, is in for some changes. It seems though we're going to see less of Conan O'Brien.

In a statement told by Turner CEO John Martin to The Wrap, TBS is planning to change the late-night talk show "Conan" to a weekly format instead of nightly though it is not yet confirmed to when this will happen.

TBS boss Kevin Reilly said on Thursday that Conan remains an invaluable franchise, partner and producer for their TBS brand and that he will still be in business with him for a very long time. He also said that as the media landscape continues to evolve, Conan will continue to lead the evolution of what a talk show will be in the digital age. Furthermore, he added that at this time, they have no plans to change the format or frequency of his [Conan] popular TBS show. Also, in addition to Conan's daily responsibilities to his talk show, they continue to have very ambitious plans that will further broaden and evolve their relationship with Conan.

But in an update by COS, TBS President Kevin Reilly said that while the production schedule of Conan "will shift", no formal decision has been made. Reilly also noted [Conan] O'Brien's various other projects - including producing TBS' People of Earth and an animated show called Final Space, as well as a new series based on the Clueless Gamer segment on his show (which is totally hilarious, by the way).

Reilly explained that Conan came to him a couple of months ago and said they had to talk about how he [Conan] can balance with the ordeals of the daily talk show. Reilly thinks that it may very well change, but he really hasn't got his hands around what will be, but it's going to be up to him.

Reilly also added that for now, it's "business as usual," but admitted a format change remains a big "possibility".

You can still watch Conan from Monday to Thursday at 11:00 p.m. on TBS.
