After a long wait of five years,
target="_blank">Conan O'Brien will finally replace
href="http://people.famouswhy.com/jay_leno" target="_blank">Jay Leno and begin
presenting the "Tonight Show" from June 1, 2009. He is eager to take charge and said in an
interview on Tuesday, "I feel like a racehorse that was put in the stall five years ago and I
feel now, like 'Let's go'".
Speaking about how he plans to carry on "The Tonight Show", O'Brien feels that he needs to
be cautious not to "overthink it". "I think it just has to be a funny show...I think we are ready
and we have a lot of fun stuff planned," he said.
O'Brien has previously written scripts for "The Simpsons" and "Saturday Night Live". After
completing his contract with the show "Late Night with Conan O' Brien", he moved to LA with
his family. To assist him with the show, his crew has also moved in to LA.
