Will Ferrell and Pearl Jam will be part of Conan O'Brien's first "Tonight Show."
Ferrell joined O'Brien in February for his final "Late Night" show in New York. The actor-comedian now will help O'Brien kick off his tenure on "Tonight" in Los Angeles.
Pearl Jam will be the first band on O'Brien's show, playing songs from an upcoming studio album, NBC said yesterday.
O'Brien takes over the late-night show June 1, after Jay Leno wraps up his 17-year run as "Tonight" host May 29. Leno is moving to a daily prime-time series for NBC in the fall.
ANEURYSM KILLED X-RATED MOVIE QUEEN
Marilyn Chambers, the famous adult-movie queen who passed away last month, died of natural causes, a Los Angeles coroner's spokesman said yesterday.

Chambers, whose real name was Marilyn Ann Taylor, was found unconscious April 12 at her suburban home.
Chambers became a pop culture phenomenon when she starred in the X-rated "Behind the Green Door" in 1972, prompting Procter & Gamble to pull boxes of Ivory Snow soap, then graced by her angelically complexioned face, off the shelves.
