    Conan said all the right things and remained classy to the end.


    And by doing that he has only reaffirmed that he was indeed the rightful host of the Tonight Show and Leno can eat a case of buttholes.

    I will be curious to see the final ratings for this last show. I would bet they will be really high.

    Conan = genuine class and sentiment Jay = BS

    What will be clear to all after this show... I don't see how Leno could possibly manage success with the Tonight Show after this...

    If only Conan had this much support to begin with, he wouldn't have to leave NBC... Like every other Conan supporter, I watched his show since the 90's and been a fan ever since...

    Awesome, awesome show.

    Unfortunately, it will be last Conan show for a while. Kind of sad that despite all the late night talk shows out there, the only ones I might actually watch now are the Stewart/Colbert combo. Don't really care for anyone else.

    Kimmel has done some good stuff during this debacle. I might give him some viewing time during Conan's absense.

    Been watching Conan since about 99/2000. Maybe earlier, I know I caught him for a few months while he was still on at 2:40, so it could be as far back as 97. This is sad. I didn't watch regularly then, but over the past 4-5 years, with the invention of DVR/torrents, I've watched much more regularly, and considering I'm normally up, I'd catch most of the Late Night show after Rockets/Astros games/recap.

    It's sad to see him forced out like this. It seems like Leno has "7 months" before Coco gets back on the air. Let's see how Big Jaw does. Personally, I hope he falls face first, which may be kind of hard cause of the chin and all. I want Leno's numbers to go into the toilet. If I do check out a latenight show between now and September, it'll definitely be Letterman. It definitely frees up some time in the late night schedule for me though. Maybe I'll use those 7 months to get through all 7 seasons of 24.

    He really held back tears in his goodbye...

    Can't wait for him to get another show, hopefully FOX will give him something.

    I went to the trouble to learn how to program my parents VCR in 1998 (I was 14, couldn't be up that late) so I could watch Conan.

    I watched, re-watched, and regularly laughed so hard I cried.

    Now that he's gone, I'm even more pissed at NBC.

    F*** that network and f*** Jay Leno.

    Great job Conan. You're the funniest, classiest guy in showbiz. I, too, believe everybody should get to play Free Bird on guitar in front of a live audience at least once in their life, so welcome to the club, brother.
