TBS will turn Conan O’Brien’s show into a weekly one.

John Martin, CEO of Turner confirmed it and cited competition in the field as one of the reasons for the shift. Late night TV is better than ever, and thanks to the Internet, more people are seeing lots more of its content.

Martin also said that weekly will be a better format for the show. Recently, host Conan O’Brien has traveled for several of the episodes, including trips to Cuba and South Korea. The out of town episodes have boosted the show’s ratings, and with a weekly format, he’ll be able to do more of that. Weekly late night shows have become more common recently. John Oliver and Samantha Bee have both seen success with it.

    Next time let’s elect a real comedian like Conan for the white house instead of a low grade reality TV puke..

    I love Conan…(great show)
    I only get to see his show because I subscribe to his channel…
    I’m usually asleep when he is broadcast.

      I DVR everything and watch it on my schedule.

    Late night TV is so good because that is where everyone goes to hear the latest news stories.

    The best part of Conan’s show is the remotes, that’s where he really shines; the weekly show should concentrate on that!

    Now I’ll not watch his show weekly, instead of nightly.
