Conan Is Going on Letterman for the First Time Since Losing ‘The Tonight Show’

Conan O’Brien will be a guest on “The Late Show with David Letterman” next Thursday, which will be his first appearance on the show in over 10 years, and also the first time the two former NBC late-night hosts will have spoken publicly since Conan got jobbed out of “The Tonight Show” in 2010 by Chins McGillicutty. Seeing as Letterman got hosed out of the same job by the same guy almost 20 years earlier, I imagine they’ll have plenty to talk about. Conan has tried very hard to take the high road in the past while discussing the events that led to his exit from NBC, but Letterman gleefully takes every opportunity he can to mock Leno, so this certainly seems like must-watch television for anyone who likes either of the two, or just hates Leno’s big dumb face.

Speaking of Conan, Nina Dobrev from “The Vampire Diaries” was a guest on his show last night, and she did some kind of yoga thingy that involved her folding herself up like cannoli and rubbing his swimsuit area with her bare feet, much to the delight of Conan and fellow guest Joel McHale (see left side of the banner pic). I will temporarily put aside my firm belief that feet are disgusting and should be covered up at all times to make this point: Between Alison Brie’s innuendo-heavy balloon animal work last night on “The Tonight Show,” and whatever the hell Nina Dobrev is doing here, being a late-night talk show host looks cool and you should probably quit your job to go become one.
