(CNN Business)One era ends, and another begins for late-night TV’s longest-serving host.
“Conan,” Conan O’Brien’s late-night show on TBS, will end after its 10th season in June, the network’s parent company, WarnerMedia, announced on Tuesday.
However, O’Brien isn’t ready to retire just yet.
O’Brien will host a new weekly variety series for HBO Max, WarnerMedia’s nascent streaming service. (WarnerMedia is also the parent company of CNN.)
“In 1993, Johnny Carson gave me the best advice of my career: ‘As soon as possible, get to a streaming platform,'” O’Brien jokingly said in a statement on Tuesday.
“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.”The conclusion of “Conan” ends O’Brien’s nearly 30-year run as a late-night host.
WarnerMedia said that these travel specials, which are called “Conan Without Borders,” will continue.WarnerMedia did not give any details about O’Brien’s new variety show for HBO Max or when it would debut on the service.
