In a surprise move, Conan goes to TBS

Conan O'Brien, who has been keeping busy via Twitter and a live show since getting relieved of duty at his former job, will be returning to television this Fall. We all expected that much. But while most people were thinking he'd head over to Fox, O'Brien will instead do his new show on TBS. George Lopez is happily moving to midnight to accommodate him. Here's Conan on the move:

"In three months I've gone from network television to Twitter to performing live in theaters, and now I'm headed to basic cable," O'Brien said. "My plan is working perfectly."

We don't know much else about the show at the moment, but if history is to be our guide, we do know this much: expect to see a lot of Conan during the first round of MLB's playoffs.
