‘Conan’ Ratings Down But Up in Key Demos as O’Brien Gets Weirder (video)

Down overall, but up in 18-34 and 18-49 year-old viewers

Conan O'Brien's fourth-week audience was smaller and younger.

In its fourth week on TBS, "Conan" scored 722,000 adults 18-34, up 8 percent over Thanksgiving week, and 1.13 million adults 18-49, up 5 percent. It had 1,457,000 viewers overall, down from 1,496,000 viewers overall for Thanksgiving week.

He performed one episode entirely in jeggings, and one of his all-time favorite guests, Kevin Nealon, broke up the usual Q&A interview format to deliver a long monologue about the dark side of Christmas.
