Conan leaves NBC with a bang
• CONAN O'BRIEN WANTED TO LEAVE NBC AND THE TONIGHT Show with a big bang. And with a little help from Will Ferrell, Neil Young, Steve Carell, Tom Hanks, and - let's not forget - with $33 Million in his back pocket, he sure did. "Ladies and Gentlemen, we have exactly one hour to steal every single item in this studio," he joked at the beginning of his final hour.Now what to do with the studio. Conan had a few ideas for himself:
• Leave the studio cold and empty and rename it 'the world's largest metaphor for NBC programming'.
• Site of Tiger Woods' First Annual Mistress Reunion
• Fitting room for cast of "The Biggest Loser"
• Storage facility for apology notes to NBC stockholders
• Waterpark for Max Weinberg's illegitimate children
• Hair and chest oil storage for the "Jersey Shore" cast
• Future site of "Cooters", the nation's first pants less sports bar and restaurant
• Studio preserved as a nice, quiet, peaceful place where the cast of "Chuck" can be alone with their thoughts
• Magician David Blaine will attempt the impossible by trying to remain in the studio for longer than seven months
• Panic room for Gary Busey after the rise of the fire hydrants
• Studio will be air-lifted to a location with better luck, like on top of a native-American burial ground
"I really feel this should be a happy moment. Every comedian dreams of hosting the 'Tonight Show' and, for seven months, I got to," O'Brien said. "I did it my way, with people I love, and I do not regret a second. I've had more good fortune than anyone I know, and if our next gig is doing a show in a 7-Eleven parking lot, we'll find a way to make it fun."
Over at the Huffington Post they've got a few nice farewell videos ft. Steve Carell, Will Ferrell, and Tom Hanks. Enjoy.
That was a really great Show (then again, I’m bias, since I was on team Coco from scratch) ;)
