Conan's Back TONIGHT!
 

After being dumped by NBC, Conan O?Brien picked up a new late-night gig on TBS
which RadarOnline.com has learned won?t be boasting A-list celebs looking for an
easy plug on their projects.

?No actors, no actresses?I want to talk to people who are good at a craft,
people who work with their hands,? O?Brien said in Playboy?s December issue in
which he?s the Interview subject.

?Will I bar Tom Hanks from the set? No, I will not. He can come, but he?s not
allowed to talk about his project. He?s gonna keep his f*ckin? mouth shut about
his project.?

Conan goes on to joke about his plans to turn the economy around by charging
celebrities if they violate his rule.

?If Jim Carrey or Tom Hanks accidentally mentions his project, I think the
viewer should be compensated in some way. That would be a way to turn this
economy around,? O?Brien said.

Interestingly, the funnyman that took O?Brien?s coveted spot, Jay Leno, featured
a segment on The Tonight Show called ?Earn Your Plug? when he resumed his show
earlier this year.

O?Brien then delves into his preference for alcohol over drugs.

?I?ve tried pot, but it doesn?t do much for me? The concept of me on cocaine is
absurd,? he said.

?I like to have a drink now. I like to have two drinks now. Two and a half to
three drinks now. Five is just the right amount.

?Eight is perfect. Nine is too much, but then 10 is better and I become more
focused, which is weird.?

Set my DVR last night :)

I saw ratings a few weeks ago showing Leno in the tank ever since he took back the show. He rated well for about a week, and then off the cliff.

Conan is on at both 11pm, and then again at 1am.

Love the guy, can't wait to see it tonite.

Hope he does well.


That guy got way screwed over!

I like him.. he's good
