Conan on 60 Minutes Interview – Conan O’Brien Slams Leno

CBS has released text excerpts of the coming Conan O’Brien interview on “60 Minutes”. Conan slams Jay Leno when he talked with CBS correspondent Steve Kroft. The interview will air Sunday, May 2, at 7 p.m. ET/PT on CBS.

“He went and took that show back and I think in a similar situation, if roles had been reversed, I know– I know me, I wouldn’t have done that,” he told Kroft. “If I had surrendered ‘The Tonight Show’ and handed it over to somebody publicly and wished them well– and then…six months later. But that’s me, you know. Everyone’s got their own, you know, way of doing things.”

What would he have done if he were Leno?

“Done something else, go someplace else. I mean, that’s just me,” he said.
