Additional discussion of what TBS and Conan have actually been talking about via Vulture. More details than the THR article, including comments from Jeff Ross (the Conan EP, not the Roastmaster General).
http://www.vulture.com/2017/01/conan-reportedly-switching-to-weekly-format.html TL;DR - Conan and TBS both like the remote shows, and are exploring ways to do more of them that don't stretch the Conan crew too thin. After all, they are spending more time per show on programs like Cuba or Berlin than they probably do for a week in NYC or at Comic-Con. This could simply mean more weeks of repeats, fewer nights a week, a shorter length program, or some other schedule.
