As previously reported, Conan joins GEM from next Tuesday night.

Nine publicity notes indicate the show will be “fast-tracked nightly direct from the United States” at 11:30pm Tuesdays to Fridays.

Let’s hope they stick to their word…

The new TBS show marks the return of the popular late-night host following his exit from NBC.

GEM’s screening will be the first time O’Brien has aired regularly on Free to Air TV in Australia.

First week guests are as follows:
Tuesday, November 9: Seth Rogen and music guest Jack White
Wednesday, November 10: Tom Hanks, Jack McBrayer and Soundgarden
Thursday, November 11: Jon Hamm, Charlyne Yi and Fistful of Mercy
Friday, November 12: Michael Cera, Julie Bowen and comedian Jon Dore

  1. Welcome back CoCo. I actually cancelled my foxtel subscription after they axed “Late Night Legends”. At least now I can get my daily fix of late night shows with Conan & Letterman. Now if only Leno & Fallon were aired here again. Anyway congrats to nine for getting some decent late night entertainment – I was missing my “Late Night” shows

  4. Looked at Ice TV guide, doesn’t say the show is in HD which makes it truly ridiculous having the show on Gem instead of GO. Second episode is at 11 instead of 11.30 as well which is better, but there are no daytime repeats it seems.

  9. thanks everyone 🙂 didn’t know it was in fact only 4 nights a week.

    I do think it’s too late. American TV viewing habits are not that of Australians

    10.30 would be better, even 9.30 but I suppose they want it to run against Letterman

  10. The complaints about the late timeslot seriously have me scratching my head.

    It is a late night talk show!! In the US it is airing at 11:00pm.

    GEM’s timeslot is appropriate..

  15. Why are people complaining a late night talk show is on late at night? Or that its on GEM? At least its actually on!

    Conan only did four nights a week when he did Late Night too… so not that weird… what is GEM scheduling Monday nights?

  16. This is a disgrace. GEM is apparently some “women’s only” channel. What in the holy f*** is Conan doing on there. Is nine just seriously misinformed about what kinda show it is? And they decide to put it on horrendously late at 11.30? Australian programming is embarrassing. And they wonder why people torrent and rapidshare this sh*t.

  17. @billy balakalai – The show is only on 4 nights a week in the USA….Monday through Thursday.

    It’s similar to the old Late Night schedule which was Tuesday through Friday……

  24. Why only 4 nights per week ?

    “the show will be “fast-tracked nightly direct from the United States” at 11:30pm Tuesdays to Fridays.”

    Why not show the Friday night show on Saturday night or even Monday night like Letterman does?
