This is a very strange move for Conan. Seemingly, it would have made much more sense for him to go to FOX, another major network. But he's definitely moving to TBS, a cable channel known for reruns, Braves baseball, and George Lopez. One thing is certain--going to cable puts Conan in an almost unique position, because he won't be dealing with other star programs in TBS's lineup. He's their guy now. He's all they've got. No more Jay Leno, Jimmy Fallon, late night news, or even Carson Daily. TBS will give him everything he wants. With that in mind, this just seems odd, and I hope he knows what he's doing. Long live Conan.
