Tonight, the last episode of Late Night with Conan O'Brien will air on NBC. And although Conan will emerge this June as the host of The Tonight Show, his departure will remain slightly bittersweet for his loyal and devoted fans. No longer in the earlier time slot will we be treated to such characters as the masturbating bear or the FedEx Pope. And let's not forget, just a few years ago Conan brought the show to Chicago. And he once lived here!
Although they're keeping lips sealed about what's in store for tonight's episode, don't expect Conan to put on a big sobbing tribute to himself. He says:
"If this were my last show ever and I were getting into a space ship and going to Mars and you were never going to see me again, I'd probably really load up the "Look at all I've done and aren't I something" clips, but I'm departing for a brief period of time and then re-appearing in this terrific, fantastic dream job . . . We have a lot of hard-core fans that can recite to me bits that we've done 13, 14, 15 years ago. I want to make sure that I don't let them down, but I also want to make sure I don't overdo it."
So make sure to DVR his last episode tonight @ 11:37pm central time. And now, one of my favorite Conan O'Brien bits. Let's spontaneously kick some ass with the Walker Texas Ranger Lever!
