CBS 60 Minutes Interview Clip "Conan O'Brien on His NBC Exit"
Just a bit of video uploaded to CBS' YouTube (whoo, television ban).
...you wouldn't have come back to The Tonight Show.
If I had surrendered The Tonight Show and handed it over to somebody publicly and wished them well, um, and then, and then, I would not have come back six months later. But that's me, you know. Everyone's got their own, you know, way of doing things.
If NBC had handled this differently- if it had been Jeff Zucker, the president of the network, if he brought you there in at the same time as Jay or before Jay and said "Look. We have a big problem here. And we've got to find a way to resolve it." Would that have made a difference?
It just got to the point where I thought- I think this relationship is going be toxic and maybe we just need to go our separate ways. That's really how it felt to me. I put everything into what I do and when it started to get toxic and I started to feel that I'm not sure these- people even really want me here, let's just- let's just- I can't do it.

It's good to see him though.
ETA: The 60 Minutes interview is on Sunday night at 7 PM EST on CBS.
