Conan Farewell: Take the Money and Run
Conan O'Brien
Neil Young is among the guests on Conan's last "Tonight Show." In rejecting NBC's bid to reshuffle late night TV, Conan says he is doing it for the institution of the Tonight Show. So, ironically this most traditionalist and conservative of rationales is leading him to take a completely new path. Producing, radio, internet, his own comedy series, FOX ? Quo vadis? Who knows. But now Conan has the cash to try to do his own thing. He's got the tools, he's got the talent, it's Miller Time. Speaking of which, although he doesn't do covers, maybe it would be appropriate for Neil to play the following, as the Tonight Show takes a yet a different direction, and Conan, along with network/broadcast TV scratches their heads and tries to figure out what's next.
