I noticed that about the "Mouse Car" gag. I just thought they loaned it from somebody for that gag. I immediately knew that the "Mine That Bird" gag wasn't real. Here's the real horse: The one on the show had a longer mane that fell down his neck.

I thought Neil was going to play "My My Hey Hey" and replace "Johnny Rotten" with "Conan O'Brien" at first. His performance was fantastic. The Ferrell Band performance was awesome enough as is just to have Will Ferrell. Then I saw the guy from ZZ Top. And then the camera panned and there was Beck. And then Will took the cowbell out mid-performance, made Conan crack up, knocked the mic stand over, and made out with a pregnant woman. It was all fantastic, I didn't know Conan played guitar so well to keep up with Gibbons, Beck, and Vivino. And Ben Harper on slide was great. Crazy last show.

DEAR INTERNET:
Yes, that was a nice last show, and it was very nice of Conan to be so thankful and optimistic about the whole situation. While it is still a tremendous shame that he's leaving, the overwhelming support for him and his good attitude about it make me feel pretty hopeful for his future.

It would be Fox. ABC already has Kimmel, who's profiting from this bout. His coverage has soared to the point where he is uttered as an equal in the same sentence as the other hosts. Fox is Option #1, but FX and Comedy Central are both strong possibilities. Think of two hours of Stewart, Colbert, and O'Brien. That would be a force to be reckoned with.

As much as a Stewart, Colbert, O'Brien Alliance would be awesome, I definitely couldn't see Conan going to a cable network, despite his flagging ratings on The Tonight Show...

I respect FishyJoe. I think he's a good man. But quite frankly, I agree with everything he just said!
Actually I was never a fan of Conan's stand-up, especially later on in his Late Night career, but his sketches were always pretty hilarious.

(Honestly, I'd like to see Letterman retire and offer his show to Conan. Letterman is a legend but he just isn't funny anymore.)
My impression is that he has garbage writers. He makes the most of it, and gets laughs from jokes that, if told by anybody else, would fall flat. I think he's too reluctant to fire his shitty writers, frankly.

That's not pedantic. I'm pointing out that a monologue is a fundermentally different thing than a stand-up routine, I'm not trying to invalidate your core point, which is that you don't like Conan's monologue, by pointing out that you got a tiny insignificant detail wrong.
A stand-up routine is a work of art that takes years to perfect. A monologue is just a bunch of throwaway jokes which are there to fill time. Pretty much all monologues suck (although I've heard good things about Craig Ferguson's). Conan's better at it than most because he acknowledges that the jokes suck.
I don't see how standing in front an audience and telling jokes is different from standing in front of an audience telling jokes. In fact it's not.
