On Friday night January 23rd, Conan O Brien hosted his last episode of the Tonight Show. Only seven months after taking over the show from Jay Leno, Conan will be stepping down (with a multimillion dollar offer, let’s not feel too bad for the guy). For his final show, Conan had Neil Young on as his musical guest who performed “Long May You Run.” Will Ferrell led an all star performance of Lynyrd Skynyrd’s “Freebird” featuring ZZ Top’s Billy Gibbons, Ben Harper (this guy’s on every show lately!), Beck, and even Mr. O’ Brien on guitar. Oh yes, and a return of the cowbell. We’ll miss you Conan but we look forward to your return. Check out the music performances as well as Conan’s farewell speech below:
