Last ep of Late Night w/Conan O'Brien

[Connemara]

Who watched? I know he'll be back soon on the Tonight Show, but I couldn't help tearing up at the end. I remember staying up way past my bedtime in middle school to watch Late Night and it's always been a nice little escape from reality.

Best of luck to Conan on the Tonight Show!

You cried over a host leaving a TV show for a different TV show?

Let Conne be. I teared up too. Not over Conan (I missed it), but when Paar left the tonight show in '62.
Like Conne, I think, I used to turn on the TV late on school nights after my folks were in bed, light up an L&M and puff away while the Black and White Jack Paar Show took me off live to NYC and a sophisticated spot that would be far different from the geometry test in the morning.​

I was expecting a more eloquent sign off.

Yeah it looked like he decided to talk "from the heart"...he ended up sounding a little like Obama at his most unprepared (if you catch my drift).

Same here. I watch pretty much every episode thanks to DVR. Loved this past week with all the old clips. Been watching for a long time.


I don't know what people wanted him to do. I'm glad he just spoke from the heart. I hate overly scripted things. Also, it's not like he's retiring. He'll be back on the air in a few weeks, so he didn't need as grand of a farewell.

Conan started to tear up for a little bit at the end. Made a joke or two to get himself back on track.

Or appearances by wrist hulk and / or the masturbating bear?

I hadn't been a regular viewer in years (as my dinner and bed times converged), but Conan was by far my favorite of the late night roster.

Oh yea. What the **** was with the white stripes' awful performance? An out of tune, terrible haromony of "i think we're gonna be friends"? I know conan probably likes them or something, but that was beyond terrible, my friends watching and i kept asking if they were serious.

That said, conan is a pretty good rockabilly type singer/player. In the clips where he is semi-serious about music and the writers strike episodes where he dressed up in full regalia and played/sang a song i was really impressed.

^the stripes suck ass and that was the only blak mark on the show IMO.

I was dying when he "released" Abe Vigoda into the wild.
