Conan's first night whips rivals in viewership

TBS says Conan O'Brien was welcomed back to television by more than 4.1 million viewers. The former host of "The Tonight Show," who left NBC eight months ago, returned to late night Monday with a new talk show, "Conan," which premiered on basic-cable network TBS.

Senh: All this means is that he'll probably settle back into his usual ratings before he hosted "The Tonight Show," which was about 2.3 million viewers. 4.1 million viewers for a debut is solid, but not spectacular.

In his first interview since walking away from NBC’s “Tonight Show,” Conan O’Brien tells “60 Minutes” Sunday night that he believes he was not given a fair chance to prove he could succeed
