The charming TV show host took over Late Night on NBC from David Letterman back in 1993. He then went on to feature on the show over a decade till 2009. However, it was Jimmy Fallon who later took Conan's place and O'Brien went on to host the Tonight Show for several months only to get his very own show titled Conan on TBS in 2010 which went on to become a successful venture for both TBS and Conan. However, recently, it was announced by Warner Media in an official statement that the show will be officially coming to an end in June 2021 with the season 10 finale.
