After 16 years and 2,725 shows, Conan O’Brien’s final episode as host of NBC’s “Late Night” airs tonight. Jimmy Fallon takes over the “Late Night” gig on March 2, and Conan inherits the “Tonight Show” from Jay Leno in June.
“I’ll probably cry like a baby on Friday night,” hetold the New York Times‘ Bill Carter.
The week has been filled with Conan farewells — from Will Arnett to Stephen Colbert to New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg — but in honor of Conan’s last show (for a few months), check out these classic Conan highlights from over the years. Check back later for video of his final episode.

I was just in New York with my buddy Comissioner Cool to see Conan. It was an awesome experience and I’m glad I got it in before he went of to greener pastures. I’ll miss him on Late Night, but I look forward to seeing him again in June.

Here are some pictures of myself, Commissioner Cool, and our good friend Larry David from my New York trip (click to enlarge):
