Late Show UK

Conan took his TBS talk show to the Beacon Theatre in New York last week.

This is the first time he’s hosted a talk show from New York since NBC’s Late Night programme.

We posted back in May that Conan O’Brien is coming back to New York for a week’s worth of talk shows this year.

That time has finally come – Conan’s talk show will be temporarily relocated to New York for next week (the 31st October through to the 3rd November).

A special event is planned for next week’s New York shows – a gay wedding. NYMag.com’s Vulture section reports he’ll “be officiating an on-air wedding during one of those episodes, and it’s the sort of marriage ceremony that couldn’t have taken place back when O’Brien used to tape his show in New York: a legal wedding between two men. Show sources are quick to caution that the potentially groundbreaking event is no mere publicity stunt, and isn’t intended to make light of gay marriage — in fact, O’Brien will be marrying a longtime staffer and his partner”.

Jimmy Fallon – the current host of Conan O’Brien’s original NBC talk show Late Night – will be interviewed on Monday night’s show. The full guest lineup is;

Monday 31st October – Jimmy Fallon, Reggie Watts
Tuesday 1st November – Hugh Jackman, Cobra Starship featuring Sabi
Wednesday 2nd November – Matthew Broderick, Paul Simon
Thursday 3rd November – Louis C.K.

Conan O’Brien will be coming back to New York later this year for one week only.

The former Late Night host will present his TBS talk show from The Beacon Theater (where they had their 10th Anniversary Show for NBC’s Late Night With Conan O’Brien) in New York from the 31st October to the 3rd November.

Will he make a visit to 30 Rock – home of NBC? I think not. ;-)

If you can’t make it to NYC, don’t worry as Conan will be coming to Chicago in 2012.

Did you see Will Ferrell wage war on Conan’s beard in last week’s Beardpocalypse?

Check it out below. Do you prefer Conan with or without the beard?

Over the mere space of a few months since Conan O’Brien joined TBS, Conan and Lopez Tonight are bringing in a young demographic for the channel.

Omaha World-Herald reports; “The shows have become the late-night choice for viewers with an average age of 32 — a coveted demographic for most advertisers. It’s not even a close race with the major network late-night shows. The average age of a Jay Leno or David Letterman viewer is 56. Jimmy Kimmel — the youngest of the five major late-night talk show hosts at 43 — attracts an audience that averages 51 years old”.

Speaking of George Lopez’s talk show, Lopez Tonight, Omaha World-Herald say; ” It bumped his show to 11 p.m. But the later slot is a better fit for his party feel, and Lopez thinks the teaming should have some longevity. The change also allowed him to make his show even edgier”.

Craig Ferguson – host of the Late Late Show on CBS – appeared on ‘Conan’ this week:
