Conan O’Brien Poised for Historic ‘Late Night’ Return on Seth Meyers’ Show
Conan O’Brien, a towering figure in late-night comedy, is reportedly close to making his long-awaited debut on Late Night with Seth Meyers—a move that would unite all four former Late Night hosts on one stage for the first time in NBC history.
Seth Meyers confirmed the news at a recent For Your Consideration (FYC) event in Los Angeles, where he appeared alongside actor Ike Barinholtz. When asked who his “golden goose” guest would be, Meyers didn’t hesitate. “I’ve spoken to this person, and I think it will happen soon,” he said, referring to O’Brien. “They’ve expressed their desire to do it.”
For longtime fans of Late Night, this marks a significant moment. The show first launched in 1982 with David Letterman, who passed the torch to Conan O’Brien in 1993. O’Brien held the reins until 2009 before handing over to Jimmy Fallon, who then passed it to Meyers in 2014. With David Letterman and Jimmy Fallon already having appeared on Late Night with Seth Meyers, Conan’s visit would complete the lineup of all past hosts returning to their NBC roots.
Seth Meyers reflected fondly on Conan O’Brien’s recent honour at the Kennedy Centre, where he received the prestigious Mark Twain Prize for American Humour. “It was an incredible night,” Meyers remarked, clearly showing his admiration for Conan O’Brien’s legacy and influence.
While no official date has been confirmed, the buzz is already igniting excitement among late-night enthusiasts and comedy fans. Conan’s potential return wouldn’t just be a ratings boost—it would be a full-circle moment for a franchise that has helped define American humour for over four decades.

Adding to the show’s high-profile momentum, Meyers also announced that George Clooney is slated to appear on Late Night on June 2. The Hollywood A-lister was initially scheduled for May 5 but had to cancel the event. His rescheduled visit coincides with his return to Conan O’Brien’s recent honour at the Kennedy Centre, where he received the prestigious Mark Twain Prize for American Humour, further raising the cultural cache of the late-night program.
With major guests lining up and Conan O’Brien’s return looming, Late Night with Seth Meyers is quickly becoming must-watch television. Whether you’re a comedy buff, a fan of late-night history, or just craving a moment of nostalgia, this potential reunion promises to deliver.
As Seth Meyers continues to blend sharp political satire with genuine reverence for late-night legends, Conan’s appearance would be the ultimate tribute—and a moment fans won’t want to miss.
