He's still two years away from replacing Jay Leno on "The Tonight Show," but already Conan O'Brien seems to be sizing things up.

"Have you planned any changes while ... you were looking?" Leno asked when O'Brien dropped by the late-night talk show in Los Angeles Friday.

O'Brien reassured Leno, the show's host since 1992, that he won't be moving onto its Burbank set any time soon.

"It's years away," O'Brien quipped, adding that rather than succeed Leno in 2009 as planned, he's decided to take the job Rosie O'Donnell is leaving on daytime television's "The View." O'Brien has hosted "Late Night" since 1993.
