"      Conan O&amp;#039;Brien did not become Conan O&amp;#039;Brien by sitting behind some desk, be-suited and interviewing some young, beautiful, actress sitting on a couch across from him. Nah, he became Conan O&amp;#039;Brien by being, well, pretty fking weird. You know, the kind of guy who jumps in a pool of fake crocodiles with Steve Irwin, crocodile hunter, or gets kicked in the face by Jackie Chan, just to bring joy to his audience (see above for these sketches, and other highlights). This is not high-minded, joke-y, intellectual humor, no, it&amp;#039;s just hilarious physical comedy \u2014 exactly the kind of thing that never worked on NBC, on a certain show that&amp;#039;s reigned over by dictator with a huge chin. So it&amp;#039;s great news that Conan isn&amp;#039;t going back to some NBC competitor (say,the Murdoch Machine) or some other late-night juggernaut that would pay him boatloads of cash to sit and banter with people while wearing a necktie. Instead, he&amp;#039;s going to TBS, the cable network that bills itself as being &amp;quot;very funny&amp;quot; even though they&amp;#039;re still playing George Lopez&amp;#039;s show. But no matter. This is a great platform for Conan. It&amp;#039;s cable, which means he&amp;#039;ll be liberated from behind the desk, moving back into the physical comedy that made his sixteen-year Late Night run so memorable. Plus, he&amp;#039;ll have a chance to once again hone his Weirdo factor, which, judging from his Twitter feed, has only gotten weirder. Take it from his latest tweet: &amp;quot;The good news: I will be doing a show on TBS starting in November. The bad news: I&amp;#039;ll be playing Rudy on the all new Cosby Show.&amp;quot; All right, Conan, whatever you say. We&amp;#039;d watch anyway. RELATED STORIES:  Is Conan the Future of Late-Night?
