Former 'Tonight Show' host Conan O'Brien will make his first trip back as a guest

MICHEL MARTIN, HOST:

Good morning. I'm Michel Martin. Comedian Conan O'Brien has a new travel show, "Conan O'Brien Must Go," so he's going back to "The Tonight Show" as a guest. In 2010, NBC ended O'Brien's brief stint as host so NBC could bring back Jay Leno. Fourteen years later, O'Brien is making his first trip back to visit with Jimmy Fallon. O'Brien hasn't exactly been sitting around moping. He hosted his own talk show on TBS for 11 seasons and now hosts a popular podcast. His "Tonight Show" appearance is scheduled for April 9.
