More than ten years have passed since the last episode of «The Tonight Show» with Conan O’Brien aired, but the comedian returned to the show for the first time since 2010 on Tuesday, April 9. Conan, 60, reminisced about his time hosting the show and «Late Night», - chatting with current «Tonight Show» host Jimmy Fallon. Returning to the 30 Rockefeller Center, Conan said that coming back to the set felt strange. «It's strange to come back. It’s strange. I haven’t been in this building for so long, and I haven’t been on this floor for an eternity», - he said.
Conan said that as he walked through the building’s corridors, «all these memories came flooding back to me», - and he decided to visit his old studio. «Someone else will be in that studio. When someone else is in your studio, it feels strange. I walked in and asked, 'Who's in my old studio?' They said, 'Kelly Clarkson.' I love Kelly Clarkson. Who doesn’t love Kelly Clarkson?» he said, before dramatically recreating his feelings. «But still, I felt: this is not right! Heresy! She should have been burned to the ground!»
Jimmy interjected to express his thoughts. «It should be a museum!» he said.
Conan said that the singer of «Since U Been Gone» came out to greet him at «The Kelly Clarkson Show» studio, but he was still in shock at seeing his old studio. «Then Kelly came out to say hello, and I said, 'Don't talk to me! You make me sick!'» he joked.
Although there were documented conflicts when Conan left «The Tonight Show» in 2010, he seemed to be in good spirits upon his return, even jokingly scolding the audience for applauding and for taking up his time. «I know you meant well, but I had 'The Tonight Show' for only 10 minutes, and you just took my time!» he joked.
Conan was the host of «Late Night» from 1993 to 2009. After longtime «Tonight Show» host Jay Leno moved to primetime, Conan took over hosting duties. However, shortly after their time slot changes, ratings dropped, and NBC executives decided to move Jay’s show back to the «Tonight Show» time slot, while Conan’s «Tonight Show» was moved to midnight. The final episode of Conan’s show aired in January 2010. Jay returned to «The Tonight Show» later that same year, where he remained until 2014, when he was replaced by Jimmy Fallon
