Conan's final episode of Late Night is getting ready to air here on the West Coast. It is not the end for him, as he will be going to the Tonight Show, but things will be different. Sad moment tonight, but it will be cool seeing him on the Tonight Show too. I hope he does well.
Conan O'Brien Films His Final Show Tonight
Conan O'Brien is saying good-bye to New York City, his 12:30am time slot, and the "Late Night" show he has hosted for the past 16 years.
Friday night is O'Brien's final show before the host packs it all up, gives the keys to incoming host Jimmy Fallon, and moves west to Los Angeles to take over the "Tonight Show" from its departing host, Jay Leno.
O'Brien is scheduled to make his premiere on the "Tonight Show" on June 1.
"For a while, I was in denial -- 'Oh, we'll just stop doing this show and we'll move on to the next one,"' he said. "That's very me, very male. Men don't like to say goodbye. My wife told me about six months ago: 'I think you have to admit that you have mixed feelings about leaving this late-night show, it's very emotionally charged for you. That's OK."'
NBC committed to giving him the "Tonight Show" slot five years ago, although it was only recently that current host Jay Leno decided to stay with the network and do a nightly 10 p.m. show.
That move has caused friction between the two stars and their comedy and production teams, with questions arising over how easily O'Brien will be able to attract A-list guests when they can just appear on Leno's as-yet-unnamed show in prime time, in the same city.

Not to mention what it will take away from the multi-talented Conan O'brien in the Tonight Show timeslot.
