It's a Conan O’Brien stage show reboot. The late night talk show host is bringing his live act back to New York. TBS has announced that O'Brien will take the Beacon Theater stage from October 31st to November 3rd, all in celebration of his one year anniversary move to TBS (he'll also be swinging by Chicago in 2012).
The comedian was at the TBS upfronts yesterday (held at Hammerstein Ballroom), and slammed his current employer, saying, "I did this last year. I don't know why TBS can't do what they do best and run that again. Four freakin' times." Ratings weren't as high as expected after he made his move to the network, but he did confirm, "We are No. 1 in TBS' key demo: people who cant afford HBO." He also joked that "budgets are a little tighter" at his new network, and that his accommodations during this trip were in The Bronx (joking, "I forgot that was technically part of New York City").
Of course, NBC wasn't free from his jabs either, he commented on the recent changes at the Today show: "Matt [Lauer] says, 'No, I'm staying. i have a long term deal with NBC.' All I have to say is welcome to TBS.'"
