Conan Premiers November 8th on TBS

[Ksandra]

oh man I was laughing pretty hard today. Glad to see he didn't change lol

[Souj]

Not a direct quote because I don't remember, but it was basically this;
Conan @ Micheal Cera: ... because you're the same in your movies as you are in real life
Andy: So you're saying he's a bad actor

I laughed. Because it's true.

[wiegraf]

also, Bananas!

I'd love to see this validated by a third party...

TBS says "Conan" ranks No. 1 in the key 18-to-49 and 18-to-34 audience segments when "time-shifted" data is included, which adds viewers of the show up to a full week after its airing.

DVRs give 'Conan' the lead among young viewers
(AP) – 1 hour ago

NEW YORK (AP) — After two months on the air, Conan O'Brien's late-night talk show is the favorite of younger viewers — that is, when DVR usage is factored in, according to basic-cable network TBS.

Most ratings figures count TV viewership only within the 24-hour period after a show is aired. By this standard, "The Tonight Show with Jay Leno" is the champ in total viewers, as well as in the desirable 18-to-49 demographic.

But "Conan" ranks No. 1 in the key 18-to-49 and 18-to-34 audience segments when "time-shifted" data is included, which adds viewers of the show up to a full week after its airing.

By this measure, "Conan" has topped all cable and broadcast late-night talk shows since its premiere Nov. 8 through the end of the year, TBS announced late Tuesday.

Time-shifted viewing is accounting for a significant portion of the "Conan" audience, including 361,000 of the 1,443,000 viewers in the 18-to-49 demo, and 236,000 of the 930,000 viewers in the 18-to-34 category watching the show.

Among viewers 18-to-49, NBC's "Tonight Show" ranks second to "Conan," with 1,345,000 viewers, said TBS, citing Nielsen Co. figures for Live-Plus-7-Day viewing.

TBS attributed "Conan's" sizable boost from time-shifted viewing to the show's young fan base, which is more likely to record and watch shows on a delayed basis. The median age for "Conan" viewers is 33, while most broadcast late-night talk shows' audiences have median ages in the 50s. O'Brien's former roost, "Tonight," and its head-to-head CBS rival, "Late Show with David Letterman," are both 56.

The hour-long "Conan," which airs Mondays through Thursdays at 11 p.m. Eastern, overlaps for 25 minutes with "Tonight" and "Late Show," which both air Mondays through Fridays at 11:35 p.m. Eastern.

TBS, a division of Turner Broadcasting System, Inc., is owned by Time Warner.

I know I'm one of the people who would be counted in the delayed airing. I normally watch Conan in short spurts at a time. I rarely even sit for the full ~46 minutes.

Everyone watching Conan on their DVR watched Stewart/Colbert the night before.

Everyone watching Conan on their DVR watched Stewart/Colbert the night before.

I'm the same way with Stewart. I'll DVR his shows and catch them here and there. Normally, though, I just sit through the monologue and the news section and tend to skip the last 10 minutes. It depends on the guest.

[Kaslo]

I watch Conan before bed, then the Daily Show/Colbert as I get up in the morning.

[Qalbert]

was nice seeing donald glover on, and I laughed at donglover

[ZarakiKujata]

Anybody read The War for Late Night yet? I'm reading it right now. It's by the same guy who wrote the book about Leno/Letterman in the 90s. Lots of really cool info/bios about everybody in late night so far except George Lopez, although I guess that will come once it gets to Conan going to TBS. The background information on how far back this clusterfuck went with commentary from NBC/ABC/FOX execs, Jay's camp, Conan's camp, Johnny Carson, Lorne, etc going back to 2001 is nuts.

[Ksandra]

I have to say I'm liking george lopez more now too, I tend to leave it on tbs after conan and he kinda grew on me.

the angry birds skit was pretty awesome lol

[Necronus]

I wonder if they're counting website views. I'd assume not but who knows since its not mentioned. I watch Conan exclusively on his website and love that they upload it commercial free.

[volcanicweather]

I'm not a Conan fanatic, but I did catch some of his show last night with Dennis Leary and Ice Cube and found it to be pretty funny. Maybe getting kicked off of NBC is a blessing in disguise as he seemed more relaxed and himself than being on the Tonight Show.

[Man0warr]

He's back to how he was on Late Night. He had to change his show some for Tonight Show.

The christmas decorations for his set were awesome, especially the Jewish Rabbi Robot / Johnny 5 thing.

[Alderaan]

Ricky Gervais and Kaitlin Olson, what a lineup.

Kaitlyn is one of the few women that crack me up.

[Souj]

His beard has been shaved!

by Will Ferrell

[Dmitry]

Oh shit that actually happened? I saw a few clips of Will Ferrell threatening him but haven't been able to keep up with the show in a long while.

[Mots]

FFFFUUUUUUUUUUUUUU I cant believe I missed this. EVERY single time Will is on Conans show is an event. DAmnit I hate that I missed it.

[Mots]

For anyone that missed it.
