Conan O’Brien has inked a new four-year, all-inclusive deal with TBS, the network announced at its upfront presentation Wednesday morning.
Added O’Brien: “The TV landscape has changed dramatically since I inherited the traditional talk show format in 1993.
The deal not only renews O’Brien’s late-night show Conanfor four more years, through 2022, but also will extend the Conan brand “into additional content experiences across all screens, including digital and branded content, podcasting, mobile gaming, pay TV and live tours,” according to TBS.
“This next chapter will provide support for Conan and [executive producer] Jeff [Ross] to expand the boundaries from a ‘talk show’ to a range of personality-based, cross-platform experiences.”
