Conan O’Brien returns to television this Sunday night

Conan O’Brien won’t get to return to television on a nightly basis until his new late night talk show on TBS launches in November, but the former Tonight Show host – who hasn’t appeared on television in any capacity since being forced out of the show earlier this year less than a year after taking over the reins – will finally surface this Sunday night in an interview with CBS’ 60 Minutes. The appearance, which seemingly disproves theories that had NBC barring Conan from showing his face on television at all until September, will include the obligatory discussion about his NBC departure as well as the topic of Jay Leno, who effectively forced Conan out by accepting the opportunity to return to the 11:35pm time slot after bombing at 10pm. In the interview, Conan says that if the roles were reversed, he wouldn’t have done what Leno did, “but that’s me, you know.”
