Conan on the Late Show

[Strike this. Reverse it.]

It's not just news it's like "moonlanding" news.

NEXT THURSDAY Conan O'Brien will be a guest on the "Late Show" with David Letterman. Conan O'Brien was last a guest on the Late Show 13 years ago in 1999. His first guest-appearance was in 1994 when he had just started "Late Night" (Letterman's old gig).

I think it's safe to assume that the "Tonight Show" debacle (Parts 1 and 2) and Jay Leno might come up in conversation.

Shortly after the "Tonight Show" debacle (Part 2), Conan and Dave had (perhaps) a small tiff of their own as Letterman invited both Jay Leno and Conan to do a Super Bowl commercial together. Conan refused, reportedly saying, “No f***ing way I’m doing that. It’s not a joke to me—it’s real.” Worried about any offense, Letterman called him to make sure "everything was fine". But that's all he said on the subject.

The episode will air Thursday, May 17th.
