Conan Meets His Facesake...

It finally happened, Conan Goes to Finland to meet face to face with his lookalike Tarja Halonen. This is the fitting climax to a comedic chapter that has not only gained him laughs but earned him superstar status in this small Nordic nation.


Before meeting with the newly-reelected Finnish president -- and whatever Finn politicians say, Conan gave her the big boost -- Conan told the thousands who waited for him in the cold that he is demanding a cabinet position from Halonen:

"Conan O'Brien is seeking a position in Finnish President Tarja Halonen's Cabinet. During a speech to thousands of Finn's Saturday, Conan expects to be rewarded for his endorsement. He wants to be appointed as Inspector of Saunas."

Conan got a full 15 minutes of Tarja's time and the late night host said he wasn't disappoined. He then sucked up to the leader assuring her that she looks more like his mother than his father.

"I think she (Halonen) was pleased and quite relieved to hear that," O'Brien said.

But if his American fans know him too well, he'd be rendering a different story once he returns to his late night desk. Full of new Finland materials and those Finnish troll dolls he got from Tarja for props.
