Conaco, LLC [3] is an American television production company founded in 2001 and owned by entertainer Conan O'Brien. The name is a portmanteau of the words "Conan" and "Co", an abbreviation of company. The name is also a parody of the petroleum oil company Conoco. It has produced programs primarily for NBCUniversal and Warner Bros. Discovery, including O'Brien's Late Night , Tonight Show , and Conan . David Kissinger, former NBCU executive and the son of Henry Kissinger, [4] has been president since 2005. [1]

Conaco's first production credit was the short-lived 2001 reality show Lost . The firm also produced the Andy Richter series Andy Barker, P.I. for six episodes as well as the drama Outlaw , about a former Supreme Court justice (Jimmy Smits) who starts a law firm, which was canceled after a few episodes. [4]

O'Brien's departure agreement with NBC following the 2010 Tonight Show conflict allowed Conaco to continue operation until the end of the production season. [5] After that, Conaco switched affiliations to Warner Bros. Television, owned by Time Warner along with O'Brien's new network beginning in November 2010, TBS. [6] Conaco produced O'Brien's late night talk show on TBS. [7] Conaco also produced Eagleheart , a show starring Chris Elliott for TBS' sister network, Adult Swim. [8]
