First Look: The Tonight Show With Conan O'Brien Set

The NYT has a massive feature on Conan O'Brien taking over the reins of The Tonight Show. We haven't had a chance to check it out just yet, but it includes the first look above at the set that will appear on millions of TVs (and broken grads' monitors) for years to come. Conan makes his debut in the NBC slot on June 1st with guest Will Ferrell and musical act Pearl Jam.

First impression: it isn't straying too far from the iconic, classic days of Johnny Carson or the lesser ones of Leno. Here's a funny quote from Conan from the feature per the design: "I said, I don't want a desk made of onyx and baboon skulls." Let us know what you think below. In addition, am I the only one who thinks it would be a sly move on David Letterman's part to hire Norm MacDonald as a wing-man to create extra fireworks against Big Red? Norm's recent guest spot on The Late Show was nearly as badass as his uncensored stint on Howard Stern. Time will tell.
