Conan O’Brien has announced the name of his new TBS show, which premieres November 8th. To do so he made a fun little video in which he sits in a shabby office and writes the name on a piece of paper with sharpie. Sure. TBS IS BROKE AS FUCK! You can watch the video after the jump, but before you do that, let’s all remember that this is a blog, and that blogs function by a certain set of blog rules, and one of those blog rules is that when the name for something is announced in a dramatic fashion, blogs have to give that thing other names. Sarcastic, winking, joke names. It’s blog law, and we are nothing if not abiding. I’ll begin:
- • Team Talk Show
• The Conan O’Brien Diminished Hopes And Dreams Hour
• Conan O’Brien’s Nightly Reminder That The World Is Never What You Expect It To Be
• Tonight’s Show
See how these stack up against the real thing after the jump! (Oof. Relax.)
Haha. Conaw. Your turn. (Via Vulture.)

Can’t believe no one has said this yet:

‘Oops! George Lopez Hosts the Other Late Night Show on This Network’ With Conan O’Brien.
Carrot Top
Ugh god he looks like the fucking Burger King King now.
Really? I was kind of thinking he looks awesome. Maybe this is what you were going for?
Yeeeeah, I can’t say I miss when he looked like a wax man with plastic hair.
Forgivable typo. The keys are like right next to each other.

Hi I’m Conan O’Brien! You Might Remember Me From “The Human Centipede 2: The Tonight Show With Jay Leno.”
Hi I’m Conan O’Brien! You Might Remember Me From That Time I Wrote The ‘Monorail’ Episode Of The Simpsons And Life Was Looking Up.
“I’ve hosted late night shows on Brockway, Ogdenville, and North Haverbrook and, by gum, it put those networks on the map!”
I hear those things are awfully loud.

I wonder if he’ll start drinking scotch before each show and one night say in his monologue, “You guys wanna see if the carpet matches the drapes?” and drunkenly drops trousers. All for May sweeps, of course.
For Sweeps…or maybe for St Pattys.
CocOMG
(It’s called ’2010.’ Look it up.)
I don’t know you know, he’s sort of looking like a bitter NYU professor. You know, the kind that puts brandy in his coffee to face his class every morning?
I had one of those! But his class got canceled halfway through the semester and he ended up trying to teach lectures on various benches around the common.
Conan Obrian’s Mildly Heartwarming Story Hour, Because While I’m Sad He Got Screwed By One of the Worst People In America and Happy He Got A New Show, The Bottom Line Is He Still Got Millions of Dollars to Wipe Away the Injustice of NBC’s Decision And Its Hard To Feel THAT Bad For Him, but Selfishly I’m Happy He’s Back On Television
I know what you mean. I saw Conan’s live show in LA, after it was announced that TBS gave him a show. I am a huge Conan fan, but I have to say I was rather disappointed that the vast majority of his material focused on how NBC screwed him over. At that point, Conan had the public’s sympathy, he had millions of dollars, and he had a new show on a network that will probably give him complete creative control.
But there he was on stage, taking swipe after swipe at Leno and NBC. I wanted to just be like, You win, man. Just move on. It’s hard to feel bad for a guy that loses the thing he wants most but then gets the best consolation prize in the history of anything.
Still love him as much as one bro can love another bro, though. Which is A LOT.
That’s so Conan

I’m glad you’re following Bob Loblaw’s Blog Law, Gabe.
This is the best comment I’ve ever seen on this site ever in the history of ever.
In that case, welcome to Videogum!
He’s very good.

He should call his show ‘Lebron James’.

Hanging with Mr. Conan? Mr. Conan’s Neighborhood? (The beard is really adding the creepy next-door neighbor vibe, which goes well with “Mr.”)
Conissa Explains It All, in which Conan dons a blonde wig and his best friend Andy climbs through the window. Also starring Joel Godard as “Pet Alligator”.

Should have called it “The Topher Grace Show.”
“Put that sandwich down!” is what I would say to Mischa Barton on opposite day.
