With this final "Late Night" episode, Conan O'Brien said goodbye to Studio 6A, Rockefeller Plaza, and New York as he now prepares to go to California and take over "The Tonight Show" on June 1. During this final original telecast, the tall, pale, red-haired host showed his favorite segment of all: his interviewing and later playing with various members of a baseball team reenacting the sport as it was during its beginnings in the 19th century. Quite hilarious especially when Conan flirts with a shy brunette! As he had throughout the week, O'Brien then took apart his set and gave parts of it to the excited studio audience. The "surprise guest" that was promoted for this particular show turned out to be none other than Andy Richter who frankly was no surprise to me since I thought, well who else but the sidekick from the first seven years who helped Conan get over beginning nerves all those early days? Great to see them together again, not to mention all those clips like when Conan tricked Andy into appearing with Matt Lauer on "Today" stark naked! After final musical guest The White Stripes perform, Conan then thanks all the people who helped him in his success among them: David Letterman, Jay Leno, Lorne Michaels, etc. Our last image of him is of giving every audience member a piece of his set that was just dismantled by various crew members. Oh, and Will Ferrell also appeared during the monologue as former President George W. Bush before again stripping to his leprechaun undies! You've given us 16 entertainingly hilarious years from New York City, Mr. O'Brien. Here's hoping more from you in California in a few months...
