Conan O'Brien Returns to 'The Tonight Show' for First Time Since Exiting in 2010

The former host sat down with Jimmy Fallon for his first return to the talk show since his bitter NBC departure.

O'Brien sat down on the other side of the desk to promote his upcoming travel series, Conan O’Brien Must Go, for MAX, and made his historic return to the iconic show he briefly hosted during an acrimonious public feud and legal battle with both NBC and Jay Leno. Furious and frustrated -- and largely backed by public outcry and fan support -- O'Brien refused, and negotiated a $45 million agreement to walk away from the show in early 2010. While he hosts the popular podcast Conan O'Brien Needs a Friend, his new travel series marks his first return to TV since his talk show came to an end in 2021.
