Late night talk show host Conan O'Brien arrived in Helsinki Saturday to celebrate the re-election of Finnish President Tarja Halonen. The comedian quipped that he expects Halonen will reward him with a Cabinet position as the inspector of saunas.
O'Brien caused quite a stir last year when he supported Halonen's re-election campaign with mock ads promoting the politician. Speaking with the Associated Press, O'Brien said, "Why do I support Tarja Halonen? Because she's got the total package: a dynamic personality, a quick mind, and most importantly - my good looks." The last comment was a reference to the shared resemblance between Halonen and O'Brien.
