It's been a long road for Conan O'Brien (a.k.a. Coco) -- from late night to Twitter to touring. But tonight the man the Internet has lovingly dubbed "Coco" is returning to the small screen with the premiere of Conan on TBS. To celebrate this move, Fail Whale artist Yiying Lu created the above image for the social media-savvy comedian.

O'Brien's transition from TV host to Internet star has been an interesting look at the ability of celebs and average folks alike to showcase their careers and personalities via the web. And even though "Coco" has now transitioned back to mainstream media, he appears to be staying true to his online audience -- premiering his show early with an "Episode Zero" on TeamCoco.com, and creating diversions like the Pale Whale for loyal fans (you can snag mobile and desktop wallpaper over on the blog).
