Now that Conan has taken up countless hours on Finnish television during his visit to Finland, it is only fair that he should return the favor by having a Finnish celebrity as a guest on his show! My vote is for Krisse Salminen, the amazingly cute and charming TV host to whom Conan presented an award. You can see a clip of her with Conan here:

According to a bio I found, Krisse got her start as a stand up comedienne, and she speaks English well enough to do a routine on American television, so how about it?

BTW, I am not a Finn, I am an American who has been following Conan's visit to Finland by looking at Finnish blogs (I can't actually read the language). I am sure that plenty of my fellow Americans would get a kick out of seeing Krisse on his show!

How about inviting the athletes who won a medal in this year's Olympics?

Not one gold so far so unless there is gold medals to show why bother.
(and they probably have enough americans who win some)

It was reported she already promised to visit, to Conan, if he asked her, to his show.

As told in the link above, which is in Finnish and thus uncomprehensible to most non-Finns, her mother and brother are actors, her father a well-known tv quiz host and she is married to a magician.

The truest finnish (sports and music too) legend has made another album. Matti to the show.

I think they should get Sonata Arctica as a musical guest.
They even said themselves (jokingly of course) that they wanted to invade the show. I think it would be awesome!!

Krisse's role is to act like a total blonde-babe bimbo, a cute chick that asks naive questions from celebs in her own show. If she visited Late Night, it might get weird for american watchers is she's the one asking and Conan's just answering.

Matti Nyk?nen is the most famous Finn alive. He won all the ski jumping gold medals in Calgary '88.

But I doubt he speaks any English.

The other celebrity, Tony Halme, can speak some English, but he's not allowed to come to the United States.

Krisse would be a great guest in the Late Night show.

Krisse would be a great guest.

Being a Finn I'd say getting Krisse to Conan's show would be totally awesome!! About the athletes, I'm not much of a sports fan so I don't think the athletes are particularly interesting. Krisse would be much better a choise (she's funny).

I would be happy to appear. I am just afraid that once I show up at the studio, no one will answer the door.

i just saw the Conan in Finland episode and I must say I got some very good laughters about it, I keep on hoping/waiting for some more footage about the trip, especially the clip about Telvis awards and that little conversation with Krisse Salminen -> that was absolutely hilarious!

OH, right, you're not from Finland.. haha..

I think Krisse is a useless winer who doesn't deserve to go anywhere but home and stay there.

Instead, invite LORDI to the show!! See www.lordi.org

Lordi was just elected to represent Finland in the Eurovision Song Contest! Go Finland Go! Rock on Lordi!

Guys, let's get serious for a moment.

We need to get a Finnish band on that show, that once and for all will give an accurate picture of what the music scene in Finland has to offer.
