HOLLYWOOD, Calif. — Two months before he has to return to work, Conan O'Brien has revealed the name of his new TBS late-night talk show.
In a YouTube video released Wednesday, the 47-year-old comedian said his program will simply be called Conan.
"It's Conan. Simple. Pure. Like the man himself," he said before looking at the name again, which he had scribbed on paper. "Actually, this 'n' looks like a 'w.' Conaw. Conaw. Coming to TBS. I have to stick with that now, because we're only doing one take of this thing."
O'Brien teased the announcement yesterday on Twitter.
"I was going to announce the name of my new show today, but my lawyers tell me The Return of Nanny McPhee is taken. Tune in tomorrow," he quipped.
Many had speculated that the name "Conan" wouldn't be an option since a company called Conan Properties International owns the trademark. The firm has been using the title in connection with promoting the Conan the Barbarian films for decades.
O'Brien's new show premieres Nov. 8 on TBS.
