Conan O'Brien Sets Debut Appearance On ‘Late Night With Seth Meyers'
EXCLUSIVE: Conan O'Brien, who hosted the Late Night franchise for more than 16 years, is finally returning to the scene of the crime. O'Brien will return as a guest on Late Night with Seth Meyers on Wednesday June 11. More from Deadline 'Good Night, And Good Luck' Could Tour And "Might" Go To London, George Clooney Tells Seth Meyers 2025 Premiere Dates For New & Returning Series On Broadcast, Cable & Streaming 'Chicago Med's Steven Weber Doesn't Need Maury To Know Who Fathered Asher's Baby; Talks Evolution Of His Character & Love Overcoming Fear - Deadline Q&A It marks his first appearance on the show since he left for a brief stint on The Tonight Show. It comes a year after he made his guest debut on that show, which is now hosted by Jimmy Fallon. The move means that all three former Late Night hosts – O'Brien, Fallon and David Letterman – will have appeared on Late Night with Seth Meyers. Meyers teased O'Brien's appearance at last week's FYC event in LA with The Studio's Ike Barinholz. 'I've spoken to this person, and I think it will happen soon. They've expressed their desire to do it. There's only been four of us that have done this on NBC and I'm lucky enough to have had [David] Letterman on and I've been lucky enough to have had [Jimmy] Fallon on. I would love to have Conan back,' Meyers said. Ask and answered. O'Brien reminisced about his time on Late Night when he appeared on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon. 'It's weird to come back; I haven't been in this building for such a long time. I haven't been on this floor in forever. You have strange memories. I was here for 16 years before we went to LA. When someone else is in your studio, it feels weird,' he said. O'Brien, who hosted the Oscars earlier this year and is set to return next year, was recently honored with the prestigious Mark Twain Prize for American Humor. Last month, Max launched his travel show Conan O'Brien Must Go where he traveled to Spain, New Zealand and Austria. That show has renewed for a third season. Late Night with Seth Meyers is produced by Universal Television and Broadway Video with Lorne Michaels as exec producer and Mike Shoemaker as producer.
