Suspended Metta World Peace To Appear On 'Conan'

LOS ANGELES (CBS/AP) -- Suspended Lakers forward Metta World Peace will appear on the late-night comedy show "Conan" in his first extended one-on-one interview since he elbowed the Thunder's James Harden in the head.

TBS said Thursday that World Peace would sit down with Conan O'Brien on Monday night. The former Ron Artest is suspended for seven games, which will carry through at least late next week. The Lakers don't have a game Monday.

World Peace had a scheduled appearance for the show on April 22, but MWP's publicist cancelled the day after the elbow to Harden's head.

World Peace has five more games to sit to complete his suspension.
