    So, Conan is stealing Lopez's time slot, like Leno did to him huh?

    Weird move for Conan, TBS really started to suck after they lost the Braves.

    Lopez is reportedly thrilled with the idea of having Conan as a lead-in. He agreed to the idea before TBS made an offer to Conan, then Conan talked to Lopez to make sure it was okay.

    Not quite the same thing as Leno asking Conan if it was okay, Conan saying no, and Leno taking it anyway.

    Yeah I was thinking this can't be anything but a good thing for Lopez. Makes TBS look like a legit late night channel and more people watching TBS to see Conan will only mean more viewers and publicity for Lopez' show right after. TBS and Lopez get more viewers, perhaps better guests on the shows, etc. etc. I think Lopez would also do quite well competing directly with Fallon and Fergeson in the late-late time slot. I would think that it was only a matter of time before TBS would have pulled the plug on his show anyway, being behind Conan probably buys him a lot more time.

    Canada needs to pick these up. I don't know if they have Lopez yet but man, that's a killer combo.

    Dude you must get TBS.

    Good news: more wiggle room to be edgy on TBS

    Bad news: just four nights a week :(
