Conan came back strong. The debut of Conan O'Brien's much discussed new talk show on TBS premiered to great numbers, doing better than all of his late night competition, including David Letterman, Jimmy Kimmel and, yep, Jay Leno.
TBS boasts that the premiere was watched by 4,155,000 viewers. The projected median age for Conan was 30, which gives it a younger audience than all of O'Brien's competition. Most importantly, Conan got a 2.8 rating in the Nielsen's, beating out Leno's 2.7, Letterman's 2.5 and Kimmel 1.7, according to The Wrap. The Conan debut also beat out cable competitors The Daily Show and The Colbert Report.
While it's very likely O'Brien's numbers will fall from the premiere, as most shows do, it also is an important moment for the talk show host and TBS, simply by proving they can indeed beat their network competition - including NBC's Tonight Show, which O'Brien so famously vacated early this year, in the wake of The Jay Leno Show fiasco.

I missed it last night, anyone catch it?
