Conan O’Brien’s new chat show is coming to GEM.
The new show, simply titled Conan, is his new venture following his infamous exit from NBC. It will air in the US on cable channel TBS.
On GEM it will air at 11:30pm weeknights beginning on Tuesday November 9th. That pits it directly against The Late Show with David Letterman.
It may also have an airing on Pay TV, but so far there’s nothing official.

Pfft… Never liked Conan, and never will. Bring back Leno!!
Yay! I was just thinking the other day it would be good if one of the networks could put on another late night talk show. Though I agree with everyone else, GEM seems like a weird place to have it. Then again they’re putting sport on GEM. So why they pitched it as a women’s channel is beyond me. It would be good if they could repeat the previous nights Conan on GO! at say midday? Instead of repeats of Here’s Lucy or whatever boring show is on at that time.
@ marcf You are so right Leno is lamo. Letterman is my favorite but Conan is not far behind,he’s almost like a young Letterman. And don’t women watch Conan as well? I agree GO! probably would have been better but GEM is fine as well. Time to finally get that HD STB that I can record onto!
Effing wrapped with this news. Although its also marred by the though that Nine will yank this in a week… but I’m still stoaked. Will give me a reason to watch GEM.
I would have preferred it to be Chelsea Lately…
this is great news today – but we all know what will happen eventually….
how random for it to be on GEM, alot of girls must watch Conan.
Couldn’t care less what channel it is on – I’m just happy it is getting a run in Oz…..Hopefully in HD then!!
Please do not remove or screw around with the show, GEM/9…Ever!!!
Todd – being a Warner Bros product it goes to the Nine Network, not the Seven Network and 7mate… there’s a thing called program supply deals.
Such brilliant news for Free to Air. I now have a reason to watch GEM!
Only problem is I need to buy a HD recordable HDD recorder… my SD one just won’t cut it here… Conan is worth it though.
GEM is supposed to be women’s channel… right?
This, with all the westerns really show how its aimed at its target audience
Aaaaand this is why the Gods invented Tivo. Letterman & Conan. The important thing is that no one is watching Jay Leno.
Never thought I’d say this……..I love GEM !!
on Gem? wtf??? 7mate would’ve been better off picking it up!
GEM?, I Thought it would be better suited for GO! instead & the Comedy Channel must must show Conan as well.
Hooray! Conan is the best. He isn’t a personality I would associate with Channel Nine or GEM though.
I would have thought this would be better suited on GO! than GEM.
That is marvellous news! I now intend to take the comedy channel off my foxtel package.
Sweet!
But on GEM? Not sure Conan will meet the target audience of GEM, but oh well.
bring back the late night legends to fox…Conan’s back, no bring back Leno and ill be happy!
Seems an odd fit for GEM but, at least it would be some new content!
I’m hoping Foxtel picks it up, so I have some means of taping it.
11.30? Lame lame lame. Do Nine understand the difference between late-night TV here and in America? No reason for this to not be on around 9.30 or 10.
That’s great news for FTA, just a shame it’s up against Leterman and on a channel I can’t record… time for an upgrade.
I would’ve thought it was better suited to GO! but this is great news for all Conan fans. As long as it stays in that slot and is not moved around I’ll be watching it every night. Please do not screw this show around Nine.
I for one welcome our new ranga overlord. They’re multiplying, I swear.
