Bloomberg woos ‘Tonight Show’

New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg tried to get a promise from Conan O’Brien to bring “The Tonight Show” back to the Big Apple when he takes over as host from Jay Leno in 2009. The NBC late-night show originated there but moved to Burbank in 1972.

“It’s not up to me,” O’Brien told Bloomberg, who appeared on his current NBC show, “Late Night With Conan O’Brien,” Tuesday night. “I work for the man. If he says ‘yeah,’ we’re fine.”
