Late-night talk-show host Conan O’Brien just returned from Cuba where he filmed a segment for his March 4 show from Havana — the first time an American show has been allowed to visit the country since 1959.

Mr. O’Brien has been talking about the episode for months, Time reported.

It comes on the heels of the White House’s announced plans to normalize relations with Cuba and lift embargoes that have been in place since 1964. In 1959, Jack Paar of the “Tonight Show” went to Cuba to interview Fidel Castro.
