O'Brien to TBS

O’BRIEN TO TBS: Conan O’Brien will return to TV’s late night, not at Fox, as had been expected, but basic cable channel TBS. The show will start in November and play at 11 p.m. weeknights, teamed with that network’s other late-night show, hosted by George Lopez, which will move to midnight. The N.Y. Times reported O’Brien’s representatives had been quietly talking with that cable network as issues arose in the potential Fox deal. Said O’Brien: “In three months I’ve gone from network television to Twitter to performing live in theaters, and now I’m headed to basic cable. My plan is working perfectly.” The former Tonight Show host begins his live concert tour in Eugene, OR, tonight. Most agreed it marks yet another sign of fragmentation in the TV universe and the four networks’ waning influence. (4/12p)
