i’ve been watching conan since thecomedychannel started airing late night some time in the late ’90s. i’m genuinely very, very sad that his run on nbc has come to an end, but the most disappointing thing about today isn’t just that it’s conan’s last episode of the tonight show – it’s that this whole entire fiasco is coming to an end. late night tv has never been this good.

if you haven’t been following, i highly recommend you check out the recaps on tv.gawker. they’re amazing.
