Back in April we learned that Conan O’Brien, who had been let go from hosting The Tonight Show on NBC because Jay Leno‘s own TV show failed and Jay wanted his old job back, signed a deal to host a new late night talk show on TBS. In May, we learned that Conan‘s new as-yet-still-untitled show on TBS will premiere on November 8. Today, we get our first look at the first promo video released to promo the show … here is a screencap:


Those of you old enough to remember and be a fan of the comedy sketch show Monty Python’s Flying Circus should find this new Conan promo very reminiscent of the animation used on Circus. It’s the perfect homage which gives us a bit of a hint as to what Conan may have in store for his new show. After the jump, check out this new (albeit short) video promo in full …


IMHO, this is the perfect way for Conan to promote his show … I think it would be amazing if future video promos paid homage to other sketch comedy shows, maybe like Laugh In? As a point of reference, here is the original opening theme of Monty Python’s Flying Circus:


This is a great indicator that Conan is serious about making his TBS show a huge success … I can’t wait to see what he’s got in store for us. What do y’all think of this promo? Any Monty Python fans in the hiz?
