Conan: I Wouldn't Have Done What Leno Did To Me 60 Minutes' to air Conan O'Brien interview Sunday

In His First Post-'Tonight Show' Interview, He Tells Steve Kroft He Wasn't Even Sure NBC Really Wanted Him to Stay
Conan O'Brien will be on TV this weekend with his first post-"Tonight Show" interview.
O'Brien talks with Steve Kroft on "60 Minutes," CBS said Tuesday. O'Brien's exit deal with NBC barred him from television appearances until May 1; the "60 Minutes" piece will air the day after.

The interview was conducted last week in Los Angeles, according to a person with knowledge of it. The person, who lacked authority to discuss the matter publicly, spoke on condition of anonymity.

O'Brien, who left "Tonight" in January over a time-slot dispute with NBC, has agreed to host a late-night show on TBS later this year. He's now on a national comedy tour.
