There's a rumour that Sky 1 has picked up 'The Late Late Show with James Corden' and will air from the autumn. However they plan to air a one hour 'best of' once a week - which means we won't see all the jokes/guests that are irrelevance to the average British viewer.

No, I think Comic-Con is next week...so we should be able to see them before TruTV pulls the plug on the show (assuming they do).

That's not a rumour, Corden confirmed it. Sky1 will have the rights to his US talk show. What's not been confirmed is when it starts airing. I imagine all the details will have been discussed with Sky since Corden's over here in the UK filming A League Of Their Own for Sky1.
As for when Sky 1 will start broadcasting it, I’d say a good bet would be September. The Late Show with Stephen Colbert premiers in September on CBS which will get a lot of publicity, so I’d image The Late Late Show with James Corden will want to capitalise on the back of that with some big shows – making it the ideal time for Sky 1 to start broadcasting it. Back to Conan... I’m still hoping the Conan POP Vinyl toys will be at least available to order in the UK... |

Are the Comic-Con episodes being aired in the UK this week? On TruTV or TCM?
He had the cast of The Hunger Games, The Walking Dead, Game of Thrones, XMen: Apocolypse and Dr Who (Peter Capaldi only) on his show. I've watched the YT clips but they're just so damn short. |

HOWEVER, there are new shows in the US this week so I'm not sure what TruTV are going to do as the Friday and Saturday comic con shows were effectivly 'bonus shows' that won't fit into TruTVs schedule. They are either going to have to skip 2 shows, add 2 shows to their schedule (no sign of this in the EPG) or start airing it on a 4 show delay. Maybe someone with a twitter account can ask them what their plans are? |

Watched an episode last night. I don't usually watch.
I can't stand the amount of audience cheering he allows. They could have another 5 minutes of interview time if he cut it down or it was edited out. I must say that in that regard, Corden has struck the right balance. Lets them cheer but not for too long. |

Conan might not have the most fans of all the late night hosts, but I think he has the most fanatical fans. |

It’s now confirmed, next week will be the final week TruTV airs Conan. The final broadcast will be Thurs 30th July, and from Mon 3rd of August it will be replaced by an episode of Crime Stories – which will be part of 9 hour (!) back to back block of the programme every night (midnight to 9am).
However... it appears to continue on TCM for the w/c 3rd August! I’m not sure if that’s a mistake or not (as both TruTV and TCM are owned by the same people, so presumably have been sharing the same contract)... |

Tru TV as a whole seems to have crashed and burned in the UK. The ratings are very low for a Freeview channel. The old crime-related shows (from when the channel was known as Court TV in the US) seem to be the only thing pulling in an audience.

Well, you can hardly say it was a surprise, but it's a shame nonetheless. Another US late night show crashes and burns in the UK.

I just can't take to Jimmy Fallon I'm afraid. Maybe it's his overly fawning style, his all consuming niceness, or maybe it's a relic of my Tonight Show disdain and preference for Letterman...whatever it is, Fallon is not for me.

Ah well, it was nice while it lasted. I might as well delete Tru TV from my channel list now as there isn't anything else worth watching on it.

I feel the same. He is so awkward interviewing the guests and his jokes are not as funny as he thinks they are.
Back to Conan. It's a shame. Anyone know who his guests are for the final week we get to see him next week. |

Oh well, TruTV timed it just right to drop the show. Goodbye Conan.
It’s a shame the official website is so ‘clunky’ (for me anyway, in all browsers) and the YouTube clips now have a bit on the end with Conan telling you to subscribe (which is annoying if you watch multiple clips with continuous playback). |

TCM are still showing Conan every night (sometimes 1 episode, but usually more) at around 2am – but I can’t work out whether they are new or old episodes! My guess would be they are old episodes simply because I can’t believe the owners of TruTV/TCM will have renewed their contract with the show (and continue to receive and edit it every day) to only to show it at 2am on TCM each night.
There are new shows this week in the US – show numbers 5763 to 5766. This week, according to DigiGuide, TCM are broadcasting shows in the region of 5750, 5751, 5752 etc. Then next week they are broadcasting shows in the region of 5771, 5773 etc – which will be AHEAD of the US shows (so obviously a mistake!). Anyone have any idea what TCM are doing? |

I was going to ask the very same question - perhaps there's hope for Conan fans after all?

Conan is still airing on TMC UK – anyone figured out if they are new or old episodes (although its on reruns this week in the US).

Assuming you mean TCM UK, it does not appear to be on at all for at least the next two weeks.
