Daniel: George Lopez reportedly helped persuade Conan to join TBS — even offering to bump his own show to midnight in order to accommodate CoCo.

Another interesting nugget from the NYT story:

TBS emphasized how young their audience was, a match with Mr. O’Brien’s core viewers. “The lead-ins would be shows like ‘Family Guy’ and ‘The Office,’ which is great for Conan,” Mr. Polone said. Mr. Lopez has the youngest audience in late night with a median age of 33.
