Conan O'Brien To Talk To 60 MINUTES In First Interview Post-Tonight Show 5/2

Late-night television host Conan O'Brien will speak for the first time since losing his short-lived "Tonight Show" role in a 60 MINUTES interview with Steve Kroft. Kroft's report will be broadcast Sunday, May 2 (7:00-8:00 PM, ET/PT) on the CBS Television Network.

It was recently announced that comedy icon Conan O'Brien is joining TBS to host a late-night talk show that is expected to debut in November. The Emmy®-winning comedian's new program will be followed by Lopez Tonight, which will shift to a midnight time slot.

O'Brien began talks in earnest with TBS after George Lopez personally called him to ask that he consider joining the network's late-night line-up. "I can't think of anything better than doing my show with Conan as my lead-in," Lopez said. "It's the beginning of a new era in late-night comedy."

Said O'Brien: "In three months I've gone from network television to Twitter to performing live in theaters, and now I'm headed to basic cable. My plan is working perfectly."
