O'Brien quips, "I'll be taping episodes of 'Conan' well into the Ron Paul presidency."

He originally signed with TBS after a brief, tumultuous promotion to be host of NBC's "Tonight" show and a short hiatus from TV when his NBC contract prevented him from appearing on another network.

TBS says "Conan" has recently charted a third consecutive month of audience growth. During 2012, it is averaging 1.1 million viewers.

The Los Angeles-based "Conan" airs Monday through Thursday at 11 p.m. ET.
