Begins on 8th November.
Cannot find anywhere if it is being shown here on Comedy Channel or free to air.
Has anyone come across anything indicating if and when it will be shown?

Will be shown on GEM at 11:30pm weeknights.
This will put it up against Letterman (Who I usually watch if I am watching TV at that time).

Looking forward to it.
Hopefully Conan goes back to his old Late Night style which suited him more than the more formal Tonight Show.
Awesome!
I hate how shows are being advertised as "fast tracked" as if they are doing you a huge favour at their own expense.

I wish someone would pick up Craig Ferguson.

Never understood what the fuss about Conan is. Most unfunny late night host I've ever seen. Comes across as a try hard.

Might have to check it out once it's on but at this stage I'm happy with David Letterman for late night tv.

+1. The worst.
I wish someone would pick up Craig Ferguson.
I have heard rumours TLLS will be on Eleven but who knows. He and Letterman are the best but I can't wait for Conan to be back.

Looks like GEM won't start showing Conan until Wednesday night.
The chance of me actually watching it on GEM has now dropped to zero.

As in...today's episode in a day delay, or they miss the first ep?

Yeah they are showing it here 36 hours after the first show airs
Downloaded the first episode, you wouldn't have thought he had been off TV since January. Was an excellent show I thought. Another positive is beating Leno 4.2 million viewers to 3.3 million with Letterman getting 3.4 million. Hope he keeps it up. :)

Pretty sure there are no region restrictions on the TBS website, too. You can watch the episode in clip bursts pretty soon after it airs.

It was enjoyable.
I get more laughs out of Stewart and Colbert these days. I know they are a different style of show (i.e. not talks show) but if I want to download lulz they're the first port of call.

Wouldn't read too much into the ratings. There are always more viewers tuning in for a new talk show just out of curiosity to see what it's like. The real test is how many viewers they have a month or two down the track.
Having said that, I reckon Conan will still pull good ratings after the honeymoon period wears off. Best US talk show host imo.

It was fairly amusing, which makes it my favourite talk show atm. Now there's a good reason for GEM's existence - besides the occasional decent movie.
Yeah I'm not a big fan of talk shows in general, but he's miles funnier than Letterman and Leno these days.
Would be nice if it was a bit more current than a 36 hour delay, but it's still watchable. Definitely my programme of choice if I find myself sitting in front of the TV at that time.

It's only for now. They had problems with rights issues and clearences. They're hoping to get it back to same day broadcasts soon.

Meh. First time I have seen him and I will be back to watching Letterman. He was alright but Letterman is still the king. The Denzel Washington interview on Letterman last night was brilliant.

Hence why I said hope he keeps it up. I know a few of those viewers would have tuned in out of curiosity. Leno's viewers numbers where only down by 100,000 on the night by the way.
Ok so when is this on? Doesn't seem to be on Tuesdays.

Watched Conan a few times now and finding it pretty funny.
Just saw this skit which I thought was good and worth sharing:

Conan was caught checking out Nicole Scherzinger's breasts in the latest show. I can't really blame the guy - I was staring at her chest the whole interview.

Recently became a bit of a fan of Conan, he is probably my 2nd favourite talk show host behind Ferguson. His interviews are great, but a bit too scripted for my liking.
