TBS says it's extending Conan O'Brien's late-night hour through November 2015. O'Brien premiered “Conan” on TBS in November 2010, some months after his departure from a short-lived stint as host of NBC's "Tonight" show. He left NBC when Jay Leno was returned as “Tonight” host. Although "Conan" averages just 900,000 viewers nightly, it leads the late-night pack in social media engagement and online activity, according to TBS."Conan," hosted by O'Brien with Andy Richter as announcer, airs Monday through Thursday at 11 p.m. Eastern time.

ATLANTA – Conan O'Brien wrapped up a four-day taping in Atlanta of his show on Thursday.
The 6-foot-4 O'Brien has never played organized basketball but is a big-time sports fan — his favorite teams include the Boston Celtics and Red Sox.
In tribute to Atlanta hosting college basketball's Final Four this weekend, O'Brien's guests Thursday night on his show — "CONAN" — that airs on TBS will include NBA Hall of Famer Charles Barkley, college basketball announcer Dick Vitale and music artists Macklemore & Ryan Lewis.
