While Conan O’Brien is in the middle of his self-explanatory “The Legally Prohibited from Being Funny on Television Tour” he’s still going to appear on television this weekend. The talk show host has given an interview to CBS s 60 Minutes that will air this Sunday, the first day his agreement with NBC lets him give an interview.
O’Brien will talk about his new deal with TBS, though he’s still legally barred from bashing Jay Leno. He flirts with the restrictions, said 60 Minutes correspondent Steve Kroft.
Since CBS can’t show O’Brien on the air before the weekend, the network will have to promote the show in unusual ways. I think we ll just show me talking to him and have to blank his face out, said Kroft.
