Tonight January 23,rd 2009at 11:35, Conan O’Brien hosts his final tonight show with appearances from Steve Carell, Tom Hanks and Neil Young and Will Ferrell. It’s been an amazing run for Conan unfortunately, the NBC execs and Jay Leno had other ideas. Conan, I would like you to know… wherever you go, I will follow. Farewell my friend, until we meet again.
As seen on Jimmy Kimmel. No real comments so far because I’m typing this as I watch it. Maybe I’ll update it later if I feel like it.
Conan Wastes NBC Money
Last night, Conan unveiled a Bugatti Veyron made to look like a mouse. As he explained it, he didn’t do it because it was funny, he did it because it was a waste of money for NBC. The total bill = 1.5 million. Of course this isn’t true, the car was loaned to the show.
This is hilarious. Conan as The Hulk, Jay as who knows, NBC exec as Captain America, etc. I dunno who comes up with these things but keep at it :)
Source: Conan releases statement on late-night situation
For 60 years the Tonight Show has aired immediately following the late local news. I sincerely believe that delaying the Tonight Show into the next day to accommodate another comedy program will seriously damage what I consider to be the greatest franchise in the history of broadcasting. The Tonight Show at 12:05 simply isn’t the Tonight Show. Also, if I accept this move I will be knocking the Late Night show, which I inherited from David Letterman and passed on to Jimmy Fallon, out of its long-held time slot. That would hurt the other NBC franchise that I love, and it would be unfair to Jimmy.
Good for you Conan! Stand your ground. Jay… just GTFO already
