Conan O’Brien is ending his late-night gig after more than two decades.
On Monday’s night episode, O’Brien announced that “Conan” will air its last episode on June 24 with an hour-long special that will focus on the host’s career.
“As some of you have heard, it’s been out there for a while now, but we’re making it official. We are winding down our TBS show. The plan is to re-emerge on HBO Max sometime in the near future with, I think, what will be my fourth iteration of a program. Imagine a cooking show with puppets and you’ll have the wrong idea,” O’Brien shared at the top of his show.
The late-night host previously announced that his talk show would eventually end as he started his new weekly HBO Max series.

“Anyway, we’re going to be making this switch. Now some of you are probably wondering why am I doing this? Why end things here at TBS? I’ll tell you that a very old Buddhist monk once told me that to pick something up you must first put something down,” the host continued. “I’ll be honest with you, he was drunk out of his skull and very belligerent. I maintain you can pick up two things if you use both hands. He just got mad and started swinging at me so I ended the conversation and took his advice.”
