Conan O'Brien in Finland





The American talk show host Conan O’Brien was greeted by hundreds of his Finnish fans yesterday on arrival at the Helsinki Vantaa Airport. Conan feels he has a very special relationship with our country as he thinks that he looks exactly like our president Tarja Halonen.



The presidential election was held this January and Conan campaigned in his show enthusiastically for Tarja’s re-election for her second and final 6-year term. Conan supported Tarja because he likes to look like a president and not one of the other candidates looked anything like him.

Conan is scheduled to meet the president for 20 minutes on Valentine’s day - although he wishes to extend the meeting to last at least six hours. Conan stated at the airport that, as customary in America for someone substantially promoting a president to be elected, he expects to be nominated a cabinet misister, preferrably the Supreme Sauna Inspector. Especially he would like to inspect ladies’ saunas, but would not mind checking out the saunas of handsome young men either.
