Conan Breaks Silence This Sunday

Though he’s on a live tour at the moment, Conan O’Brien will return to television briefly on Sunday for an interview with CBS’ 60 Minutes. Sunday is the first day that O’Brien will be legally allowed to appear on television, and while the piece will show highlights from his live show, it will largely focus on Conan’s departure from NBC in the wake of the Late Shift 2. While Conan is legally prohibited from disparaging NBC, 60 Minutes‘ Steve Kroft says Coco, “He flirts with the restrictions.” The biggest kicker in all of this? Because Conan is legally prohibited from appearing on TV before Sunday, CBS cannot feature him in any promos. Again says Kroft: “I think we’ll just show me talking to him and have to blank his face out.” Either way, this will probably be the first time ever that I voluntarily watch/TiVo 60 Minutes.
