SALT LAKE CITY, Jan. 13 /PRNewswire/ -- Mrs. Fields has officially offered a job to Conan O'Brien should he end up leaving the Tonight Show at NBC. The national cookie company states that O'Brien has his pick of working at any of their over 300 stores nationwide, or at their corporate offices in Salt Lake City, UT. Details of the position as well as salary are pending negotiations and interest from O'Brien.

"At the age of 22 Conan applied for a job at Mrs. Fields, but sadly never received a call back," explained John Lauck, President of Mrs. Fields. "We want to officially call you back, and make amends for what we now know was a huge oversight in talent recruitment."

Mrs. Fields Famous Brands, which also owns TCBY, The Country's Best Yogurt, additionally stated that should O'Brien's interest in cookies no longer be as strong, he is eagerly invited to enter This Could Be Yours, the Great TCBY Store giveaway. Should he win this national contest, Conan would find himself the owner of a brand new TCBY store in a location of his choosing.
