Conan O’Brien to Make First ‘Tonight Show’ Return Since 2010 Firing

Conan O’Brien is set to make his triumphant return to NBC’s The Tonight Show for the first time since his firing from the program in 2010.

He is making the April 9 stop to promote his new series on Max, called Conan O’Brien Must Go, which features the 60-year-old comedian traveling the world and speaking with “regular people he previously met on his podcast,” Conan O’Brien Needs a Friend, according to the show’s description.

O’Brien was unceremoniously cut from the late-night show more than a decade ago after the previous host, Jay Leno, was asked by NBC executives to return. O’Brien was originally offered to keep The Tonight Show name with a new, 12:05 a.m. time slot—which would have made way for Leno to reclaim his original show time. But O’Brien balked at the offer and left the network shortly after.
