I've always thought it was TBS's attempt to get people to stick around for
whatever followed Conan. Which, at least to me, never made much sense for
older syndicated programs. What makes sense for repeats of Brooklyn Nine-Nine
doesn't seem so valuable for Seinfeld reruns.
I know other networks do the same thing, so I might be projecting their reasons
onto TBS.
I think it makes less sense for the half-hour version of Conan. Sometimes the
end of the hour-length version was more than half a second, probably because
the show timed out short-ish, and a comedy bit from earlier in the program
would run over the full credits. Can't see that happening as much with a
shorter program.
To re-purpose a line from the This Is Conan sketch earlier in the week, maybe
they're figuring out more than just the lighting.

That was almost always the contents of the last segment of the hourlong version
as well. I wonder how hamstrung they are by whatever TBS’s format/commercial
break requirements may. be.
