Conan O’Brien returns to ‘The Tonight Show’ for first time in 14 years: ‘It feels weird’
nypost.comConan O’Brien returned to “The Tonight Show” on Tuesday for the first time since exiting the job in 2010. O’Brien, who was on the show to promote his upcoming Max series “Conan O’Brien Must Go,” spent much of his time reminiscing with host Jimmy Fallon, 49, about his time on the show. “It’s weird to come back,” O’Brien, 60, told Fallon. “I haven’t been in this building for such a long time, and I haven’t been on this floor in forever.” When asked by Fallon if he was having flashbacks to his brief time as host, O’Brien stated that he did indeed have “strange memories” of the studio. “I mean, I was here for 16 years during the ‘Late Night‘ show before we went out to LA,” the funnyman said. “All these memories came flooding back to me.” O’Brien later joked that the same would happen to Fallon one day. “When you’re 98, you’ll move on and someone else will be in the studio,” he said.“When someone else is in your studio, it feels weird,” O’Brien added, joking about Kelly Clarkson’s show taking over his old space.
O’Brien originally interviewed Fallon in 1999. “You were my first-ever talk show, and I thank you so much,” Fallon stated, showing a picture of them chatting.
