Conan O’Brien will return to the small screen in a new travel series set for Max, Warner Bros. Discovery announced Wednesday during its upfront presentation. 

The four-part series, Conan O’Brien Must Go, follows O’Brien as he travels around the world to meet people who have called into his popular podcast, Conan O’Brien Needs a Friend.

The series is O’Brien’s first since ending his TBS late night show Conan in 2021 after 11 years on the air. Conan also starred in TBS’ Conan Without Borders travel series.

“Conan is a national treasure…at least that’s what he keeps telling me,” HBO Programming executive VP Nina Rosenstein said in a statement. “It’s been an absolute dream to work with him, Jeff, and the whole Conaco team. They’re everything you’d hope for – insanely smart, ridiculously funny, and nicer than they’d probably want to admit.”

Conan O’Brien’s late night run is set to end June 24, when the final episode of Conan will appear on TBS, WarnerMedia announced Monday.

The decision to end Conan was announced last year.

O’Brien will focus on his development deal with WarnerMedia and work on his new show for HBO Max, which the company said will be a departure from the traditional talk show format.

The final weeks of Conan will feature special guests and the last show will be expanded from 30 minutes to a full hour to reminisce about his 11 years on TBS.

O’Brien started his late night career when NBC hired him to replace David Letterman on Late Night in 1993. O’Brien also replaced Jay Leno as host of The Tonight Show in 2009, but NBC brought Leno back seven months later amid falling ratings and behind-the-scenes shenanigans.

Previously, O’Brien had been a writer for Saturday Night Live and a writer and producer for The Simpsons.

O’Brien has a production company, Conaco, and a digital brand, Team Coco, that does branded content, live events, merchandise, comedy specials and podcasts including Conan O’Brien Needs a Friend.

Change within the WarnerMedia empire is coming fast and quick these days. Today’s news: Conan O’Brien will end his TBS late night show after a 10-year run and will shift over to producing and hosting a weekly variety show for HBO Max.

“In 1993 Johnny Carson gave me the best advice of my career: ‘As soon as possible, get to a streaming platform,'” O’Brien said in statement, tongue firmly implanted in cheek. “I’m thrilled that I get to continue doing whatever the hell it is I do on HBO Max, and I look forward to a free subscription.”

O’Brien’s recurring travel specials for TBS, Conan Without Borders, will continue. But as of the end of its 10th season in June, Conan will cease production. 

WarnerMedia didn't announce a title for O'Brien's new weekly show or any other details. 

“Conan’s unique brand of energetic, relatable, and at times, absurdist, comedy has charmed late-night audiences for nearly three decades. We can’t wait to see what he and the rest of Team Coco will dream up for this brand new, variety format each week,” said Casey Bloys, chief content officer of HBO and HBO Max.

O'Brien arrived at the erstwhile Turner Networks back in 2010 in a huff, following a well-publicized fallout with NBC over late-night primacy. After hosting Late Night with Conan O'Brien at 12:30 a.m. for 15 years, O'Brien had been given the keys to the venerable Tonight Show.

One problem: Jay Leno decided shortly after that he wanted the choice 11:30 p.m. slot back. Rather than concede to what he described as the "destruction" of The Tonight Show with a move to 12:05 a.m., O'Brien bolted to basic cable. 

That little late-night history lesson aside, the move is consequential for WarnerMedia, which like its media-giant peers, is quickly shifting its corporate distribution priorities to video streaming. 

TBS’ late night talk show Conan will launch Tuesday in a new half-hour format, highlighting the top shows launching this week on cable and streaming services.
