Conan Gives Props to Fallon and Fans Upon Leaving

Conan Gives Props to Fallon and Fans Upon Leaving

With Friday night's final Late Night repeat now behind us, the Conan O'Brien era in New York is officially over. But luckily for some fans, the new Tonight Show host was not able to take everything from his old show with him. The nonprofit group Build It Green! loaded up two truckloads of props left over from Late Night this past week—many of which will be available for fans to buy. Build It Green! made it clear though that the Brian Williams cutout used for Conan's old feud with the anchor is off-limits (can you blame them?). And despite threats to retire the Masturbating Bear, something tells us that costume will make the trip to LA. One prop that won't however is the giant pickle that Conan once received from his predecessor and now rival, David Letterman. While a few people looking for trouble called out Conan for leaving Jimmy Fallon on a sour note by not paying the new host more lip service during his farewell, O'Brien did make a point to pass along the good luck cuke. Fallon and The Roots take over Late Night in a little over twenty-four hours! more ›

Conan Says Farewell as He Late Shifts His Way to LA

Conan Says Farewell as He Late Shifts His Way to LA

Conan O'Brien came to New York sixteen years ago as an unknown underdog that left most people scratching their heads trying to figure out just why this awkward Simpsons writer was chosen to replace the legendary David Letterman. He said goodbye to the city last night just as awkward, but now almost universally loved and respected as a comedian who was able to take what at times is a very "out there" sensibility and make it succeed with mainstream audiences. more ›

Mayor Mike Says Good-Bye to Late Night With Conan O'Brien

Mayor Mike Says Good-Bye to Late Night With Conan O'Brien

During Late Night, Conan O'Brien reminisced about how much he loved New York (he will soon to depart to Los Angeles to take over the Tonight Show)—and as if on cue, Mayor Michael Bloomberg walked out to the strains of "New York, New York." He spoke about O'Brien's 16 years in NYC and presented a key, to which O'Brien exclaimed, "I'm floored. I'm stunned. I'm receiving a key to New York City." more ›

Bromantic Triangle: Don Draper, Kenneth Parcell and Sully?

Bromantic Triangle: Don Draper, Kenneth Parcell and Sully?

Local TV nerds likely have their TiVos set to record NBC at 9:30 tonight on both tuners to make sure they don't miss the debut of Man Men's Jon Hamm in his guest role as Liz Lemon's new love interest on 30 Rock. Last night Hamm was promoting his gig on Conan and revealed that he and Tina Fey were shooting one of their scenes when she spotted Flight 1549 flying low on its descent towards the Hudson two weeks ago. Conan wondered if Hamm's good looks could have been the culprit! Captain Sully and Don Draper? Hubba hubba. more ›

Triumph the Insult Comic Dog at Comic-Con

Triumph the Insult Comic Dog never seems to run out of material when it comes to making fun of nerds. Ever since Conan O'Brien and (the man beneath Triumph) Robert Smigel let him loose on the Star Wars fans lined up for the premiere of Attack of the Clones in 2002, sci-fi and comic book fans have been a regular target for Triumph. Last night, Conan showed Triumph's latest trail of terror throughout last weekend's Comic-Con in San Diego. In the video, Triumph himself is astounded at some point that he hasn't run out of fat jokes. Yet no matter how many comic book nerds he goes after for being fat, chronic masturbating virgins, the shtick never seems to get old. more ›

Conan Stalker Found Fit for Trial

Conan Stalker Found Fit for Trial

The Boston priest arrested for stalking "Late Night" talk-show host Conan O'Brien has been found fit for trial. A Manhattan judge declared the Reverend David Ajemian mentally fit for trial after a court-appointed psychologist examined him. Ajemian was arrested after issuing a number of threats to the host of the NBC talk show host and attempts to get into an O'Brien taping. Ajemian was relatively more unhinged than your average show biz stalker. He was... more ›
