Last night The Conan O'Brien Show had it's last episode. Conan O'Brien has packed his luggage and will be getting a few months off before he takes over The Tonight Show that Jay Leno has been hosting since Johnny Carson retired. O'Brien has hosted his own show since 1993.
Now all we need is for David Letterman to retire so we don't have to listen to his stale jokes anymore. O'Brien is clearly the best show of the 3 the last several years, and will do just fine as the new Tonight Show host.
“This is where they invented television,” O'Brien told Bush. “This is a temple to broadcasting and I leave this place with a heavy heart. It’s been an amazing home to me. I’ve been doing it for 16 seasons and it’s time to change. I think Eric Clapton said, ‘Change or die!’ You’ve gotta move, you’ve gotta evolve, you’ve gotta change. And I think the L.A. chapter will be fascinating because man, am I a fish out of water in Los Angeles and man, that could make some good television.”
“We’re really excited, we have an amazing set up on the Universal lot and we actually kicked the ‘Desperate Housewives’ out of their studio,” he said with a laugh. “We’ve since made up. And that was fun, let me tell you. But now we’re all friends. We lunch together almost every day.”
