I'm With Coco

It's a sad week for me as well as millions of people across the states this week as each episode of Late Night with Conan O'Brien becomes more and more cherished. It is official; The Late Show with Conan O'Brien will be off the air after tonight's episode.

Depite the rallys, the show's infancy, students of Northwestern University gathering to do Conan's signature "string dance" and The Late Show's ratings being up 50% Conan is still getting the boot. When asked about the situation, he says that he's "honestly embarassed" but also decided to have fun with the show while he still had it, planning on costing NBC as much money as possible in the few nights he had left through trademark violations, expensive skits, etc. Still, Conan leaves with over $32 million, his exec producer with over $4 million and over $7.5 million to his crew.

Tonight's final show will pack more than a punch, including special guests Tom Hanks, Will Ferrell, Neil Young and lots of surprise visits from friends of the show. NBC is even raising the proce of airing a commercial due to the unbelieveable volume of watchers.

As disappointed as I am about the Tonight Show ending, I know that Conan will bounce back like no host ever has before and I can't wait to see what this gangley, poofy haired ginger has in store for us next.

P.S. I can't wait to see how low Jay Leno's ratings will be next week.
