I am sure the videos will be flowing online soon enough so everyone who missed it can see it. I hope Conan finds a new home soon.
:-) on Conan.
Yes that was awesome! Wasn't that Ben Harper too playing the organ type instrument on the left side? He was wearing a nice hat and the couple close up shots definitely looked like him...

It looked like Beck on one of the guitars as well.

Very classy exit from a guy who knows what he is and how he is perceived and is OK with that. As opposed to his replacement who has no clue on either count. RIP, Tonight Show.

Beck looked a little out of place. You can tell he is not your typical guitar god.

Fixed that for you.

Not a Conan fan, I watched last night more out of curiosity than anything else. I have to agree that he definitely took the high road in this whole mess. I'm sure Fox would love to bring him on and finally have a contender in the late night ring.

I thought Beck was an odd choice as well. Has he done anything recently? Must just be a good friend of conan's or something

Did anyone else sense Conan tearing up/on the verge during his exit speech?
Which was well done in my opinion.
Seriously though...IF you're landing a multi-million dollar settlement to NOT be on TV, do you:
A. Relax and enjoy your family time
B. Call it a career and let the NEXT up and coming guy have a shot
C. Jump networks, make millions MORE
Just curious since my wife and I watched on DVR last night and thought, you have to really love seeing yourself on TV to not be happy landing the equivalent settlement of a lottery winning. He's now free to do whatever he wants wherever he wants!

I call it a career, do stand-up when I need the being in front of people fix, and spend the rest of my time hanging out in my stacks of money room.

Yep. I saw him look like he was about to break down but he held his composure.
I'm gonna miss him on late night. Hope he picks up something on Fox or another network very soon.
Conando!
