O'Brien -- whose hosting gig on Late Night was recently replaced by SNL alum Jimmy Fallon -- will appear as the last guest on Leno's NBC show on May 29, Access Hollywood reports.

During his final week as host, Leno will also welcome Mel Gibson, Lyle Lovett, California Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger, new mom Wanda Sykes, Sarah McLachlan, Dwight Yoakam and Billy Crystal.

O'Brien will take over the Tonight Show on June 1. As for Leno's new primetime show, he said he hopes to bring some humor to an ordinarily dramatic time slot.

"There's no laughs at 10 o'clock," Leno said. "To me, 10 o'clock is like the new 11:30. I hear so many young people, 'I gotta carpool, I gotta get up at 6.'"

    I never though OBrian would make it as far as he has. I just have never thought he was that funny. But maybe the later time slot was helping him. I just dont think his type of humor will work on the tonight show.
