Last night Conan O'Brien, host of The Tonight Show, welcomed heroic US Air pilot Chelsey Sullenberger.
Sullenberger is the unflappable pilot who calmly landed a commercial jet into the Hudson, saving everyone on board. Sullenberger, known as "Sully," the pilot of that fated US Airways plane was hailed as a hero for successfully landing the plane without any major injuries or fatalities.
A former Air Force fighter pilot, "Sully" was lauded by New York City mayor Mike Bloomberg, who hailed Sullenberger's actions as "masterful."
Watch the Captain talk about his version of what happened on Flight 1549 and coming back to work after all his accolades.
And check out a very funny skit as Conan (with the help of some creative video editing) shares some of President Obama’s views on women.
