NBC continuing to fail

**Heavencloud** · 2010-01-23 03:50

Final show was good, although best of the week had to be Robin Williams, I never laughed so hard in my life. NBC really fucked up getting rid of Conan.

**grantlogan** · 2010-01-23 03:58

What a finale! Conan made the show a celebration, I didn't want it to end. He said, "Let's have fun on television", and he sure did. I can't wait for him to come back, where ever that will be.

**Kiehl** · 2010-01-23 04:36

I haven't really followed his show since he got The Tonight Show. Was a big fan of Late Night. My roommate and I both sat down and watched this one. Very well done. His farewell speech was amazing. Goes to show what a great man he truly is. I can't wait to see where his next show will be.

prolly be taken down soon but oh well

**Serra** · 2010-01-23 04:47

Man, I've been watching Conan for a long time. It's definitely rough seeing him go to an uncertain future, but this last episode was easily one of the best in television history. I really hope wherever he goes next lets put on a show the way he wants and won't tangle him up in another mess like this.

P.S. If you've only been watching Conan since he got the Tonight Show, take a look at his stuff from during the writer's strike -- possibly some of his best shows.

Hearing such simple words of wisdom really touched me, he will surely be missed.

**Vajra** · 2010-01-23 05:55

Tracy Ullman on Jimmy Fallon's show was fucking awesome, feel sorry for you guys who didn't watch the whole thing

.

Video of her on the show isn't on Youtube yet, but I'm tellin ya, it was FUNNIEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!

**chazzyphizzle** · 2010-01-23 06:19

Nobody gives half a shit about anything that happens on Jimmy Fallon's show. Not even The Roots, they just get paid to act like it.

**Null** · 2010-01-23 06:26

Haha, yeah I've felt sorry for them since day one. It would be hard to pull off a smile around him.

The Veyron was likely real, but you can always sell a car off to an exec or something. The horse might have been the derby winner, but it was probably just a paid appearance. The real costs would have been the royalties for the Stones and NFL stuff.

Dunno about the mink snuggie, but the REAL comedy would be if they had some video of them trying to get the damned thing on the horse.

Not sure if it's true but I found this:

But did O'Brien really spend millions of NBC's money? Our sources reveal the Bugatti is owned by Bob Petersen of the Petersen Automotive Museum in Los Angeles and was loaned to the show for free. Conan did authorize to pay for its transportation costs to and from the show. It is already back at the museum where it may end up being moved to the Hollywood Wing, where important cars from movies and TV are displayed.

Likewise, the identity of the racehorse and the authenticity of the Super Bowl footage has since been disputed. As our sports-loving friends at FanHouse point out, that footage was actually a 1984 USFL game between the Tampa Bay Bandits and Houston Gamblers. A quick look at the horse on the Tonight Show and at Kentucky Derby winner reveals that while the two share some markings including a white smudge on the forehead, they are not the same animal. Mine That Bird is a bay with a darker mane and a smaller white marking than the horse that appeared on the Tonight Show (which was a chestnut). And while it is hard to tell from a television screen if the horse is wearing real fur, the thinness and drape seem to indicate that the horse is not adorned in real mink.

He said it was all fake last night.

The Bugatti was loaned to them for free.

Anything happen after the freebird song? My DVR cut off right after Will Ferrell kicked the mic stand.

**Cleverness** · 2010-01-23 14:28

Just more cowbell and pelvic thrusts until the song ended.

**Shojin** · 2010-01-23 21:04

I've been trying to find a few classic sketches of his. More specifically the one during the writers strike where he went to the Italian restaurant with some posh guy and Conan got really drunk and started swearing at him. Can't find this one anywhere. And the one where he started running through the NBC NY studio with a random audience member.

Probably some of the best bits he's done.

Always been a fan of the ones where he goes out and visits a place, the Intel one was pretty great.

**Not Kuno** · 2010-01-23 21:14

The anime dubbing ones are the most epic I'm sorry.

YOU THREW AWAY MY FEELINGS

Christopher Walken walked on to the stage and looked pensive while wearing a brown leather jacket and some aviators.

1890s baseball was pretty badass.
