Singing Free Bird by Lynyrd Skynyrd was Will Ferrell


Ben Harper on Slide Guitar, Conan on Guitar, Billy Gibbons (ZZ Top) on Guitar, Beck on guitar, Max Weinberg on drums, and the rest of Conans band. A fitting way to close the show if you ask me.

All in front of a giant American flag.
He who forgets will be destined to remember.

    Great quote right before the end, truly heartfelt, and damn honest and straight true.

    "To all the people watching, I can never thank you enough for your kindness to me and I’ll think about it for the rest of my life. All I ask of you is one thing: please don’t be cynical. I hate cynicism — it’s my least favorite quality and it doesn’t lead anywhere. Nobody in life gets exactly what they thought they were going to get. But if you work really hard and you’re kind, amazing things will happen. As proof, let’s make an amazing thing happen right now"

    It was a brilliant ending for sure. Conan will land on his feet, and I can't wait to laugh again. I like Dave to, but even if Jay hadn't fucked Conan over, I probably never would have watched him again anyways, but now I can assure you, Pearl Jam could play a ten-song set on the show, and I won't watch it.
    words seem so out of place.

    It took me a few minutes to determine whether or not that was the real Billy Gibbons. I thought they may had hired an impersonator based on the fact that Ferrell was in a character costume. But then when I saw a clear shot of Beck and Ben Harper I came to the conclusion it was the real Gibbons.

    Agreed, but I don't think Conan would succumb to Fox's bullshit.

    I think it would be pretty cool if he went on Comedy Central, before or after Stewart/Colbert. Of course, he probably wouldn't make nearly as much money doing so, which is why it's highly unlikely, but he would be able to get away with basically anything he wants!

    Agreed and I think that Comedy Central would be awesome, although it won't happen.

    There was a brief period where Comedy Central was airing Late Night reruns.
