Conan O'Brien leaves the Tonight Show

It was a sad day in LA (sounds like the one-millionth Red Hot Chili Peppers song about LA, doesn't it?) Friday when Conan O'Brien hosted his final episode of the Tonight Show, with guests Steve Carell, Tom Hanks (who later appeared on Hope for Haiti), Neil Young, and Will Ferrell.

Conan was only able to host the show for seven months, but those seven months were arguably the greatest months in the history of the Tonight Show. Before a montage of his Tonight Show run set to Cheap Trick's "Surrender", Conan confessed that, as part of his buyout, he would not legally be allowed to host another show for seven months. ****ing NBC!

After Niel Young gave a moving performance of "Long May You Run", Will Ferrell (dressed as a hippie) appeared with a band to send Conan off with the Lynyrd Skynyrd classic "Freebird". Along with Ferrell and Conan were Beck, Billy Gibbons (of ZZ Top) Ben Harper, and Max Weinberg and the Max Weinberg 7.

We'll miss you Conan, see you in seven months.
