Conan O’Brien’s Last Late Night

Conan O’Brien’s 16 year run as host of the Late Night has come to an end, and his last night on the show didn’t disappoint. Will Ferrell made an appearance as George Bush thanking Conan for “humortastical wonderment,” and the host’s former sidekick Andy Richter crowed, “I told you you’d never last without me!”

Musical guests included John Mayer who wrote an original song for the show which included the lyrics  “LA’s gonna eat you alive,” and the White Stripes performed a acoustic version of “We’re Going To Be Friends.”

Finally Conan gave a long and gracious speech thanking everyone including his producer Lorne Michaels for taking a guy “with no television experience and bad skin” and giving him a show. His voice cracked just a little when he finally told the audience that he would “never grow up” in taking over The Tonight show.

It was an awesome way to exit the Late Show and I can’t wait to see him on The Tonight Show, and I can’t wait to see Jimmy Fallon as new host on the Late Show.
