Shocker: Conan Spurns Fox, Heads to TBS

Who says the entertainment industry can’t surprise you? In a move that can only be described as “shocking” (though “damnnnn” would also suffice), Conan O’B rien announced moments ago that he’ll head to cable network TBS to host a brand new late night show starting in November. Said Coco: “In three months I’ve gone from network television to Twitter to performing live in theaters, and now I’m headed to basic cable. My plan is working perfectly.”

What’s On: Jay Leno’s Garage of Shame

Until tonight, there’s never been a reason to watch the Do It Yourself network, a cable channel specializing in shows about plumbing, boating, woodworking and Man Caves . That all changes when Garage Mahal infiltrates Jay Leno’s shame chamber : a six-car garage piled high with late night posters, car memorabilia and denim clothing.
