LOS ANGELES, April 1 (UPI) -- TBS announced Monday it has renewed its American late-night talk-show "Conan" through November 2015.

"When we invited Conan O'Brien to come to TBS, we knew he would bring with him a passionately loyal following of young adults," Michael Wright, president and head of programming for TBS, TNT and Turner Classic Movies, said in a statement. "Conan and his colleagues at Team Coco have gone far beyond that by making 'Conan' the top late-night brand in the digital arena. We are proud to extend our relationship with Conan as he continues to forge the future of late night. I just wish we didn't decide to tell him on April Fools' Day."

"Conan" is in its third season.
