Conan Says Goodbye on Tonight Show

It wasn't all NBC jokes during Conan O'Brien's last outing as host of The Tonight Show. At the end of his broadcast Friday, a visibly choked-up O'Brien took the time to put aside his differences with the network and thank them for keeping him employed for over two decades, and urged his younger fans, "Please do not be cynical. ... It doesn't lead anywhere."
