We all know what happened 9 months ago. Conan O'Brien, the new host of the Tonight Show, left NBC after he refused to move his show to a later hour to make way for a schmuck whose show he was taking over in the first place.
The whole ordeal launched one of the biggest fan campaigns of all time, creating "Team Coco", a name that was actually thought of by none other than frequent guest and good friend Tom Hanks. There was artwork, a twitter trend, pins, shirts...you name it. Still, despite the campaign, NBC decided to NOT listen to a key demographic and insist that Conan be put on later.
And so, in the best interest of both himself and his crew, Conan decided to leave NBC. For a while, nobody knew what was next for Conan-he talked with a bunch of different networks, and we wait with baited breath. Finally, it was announced Conan had signed with TBS for a new late night talk show, and it would be premiering in November. Most people reacted with a mix of intrigue and excitement-Conan's back! But on TBS?! Yes, TBS, and Conan made his return on Monday after months of anticipation.
