Tonight will be the last night Conan O’Brien will host the Tonight Show. He received a sweet parting gift from NBC and made sure his staff also received a bonus. After tonight, he will be in re-runs until he can sign a new deal in September.
I am going to get high on caffeine so I can stay up and watch. Here is what I am hoping for:
— A cameo by “Triumph the Insult Comic dog.” Some reports say the insulting pooch will remain property of NBC, along with the “Masturbating Bear.” If this is the case I hope comes out uses NBC as something “for me to poop on.” I Keed I Keed.
— A hilarious monologue poking fun at NBC. Reports also say that Conan will not be allowed to rip on NBC if he gets a new hosting gig.
— Will Ferrell is tonight’s host. Maybe George W. Bush has a few comments on the situation.
— Tom Hanks, who has said on red carpets that he supports Conan, will also be on the show. I would like to see him continue his support for O’Brien.
So please tune in tonight. The higher the ratings the bigger the slap across the peacock’s face.

The Jay Leno show had awful ratings — so let’s break tradition and move the Tonight Show.
I tried a few times to watch The Jay Leno show, it was awful. It seemed like a recycled version of the Tonight Show.
I understand that Conan O’Brien was losing the ratings war with Dave Letterman. But one has to wonder if a certain scandal may have heightened Letterman’s numbers.
I think if someone is retiring they need to retire. Leno is essentially going back to the Tonight Show, even if it has another name.
I typically cannot stay up late enough now, but back in the day I loved Conan O’Brien. I watched intently hoping he would pull the lever to show a random Walker Texas Ranger clip.
NBC is known for great decision-making. They are the home to the Law and Order series The Office and Community, but don’t forget they also brought us Raines.
I guess NBC does have a history for canceling decent shows. They flatlined Trauma and may have some karma issues for cutting My Name is Earl. They tried to lock-up Southland, which found a nice new home on TNT
Rumors have been circulating that Fox is interested in O’Brien. So maybe that is where he will end up.
