Saying Goodbye to the Masturbating Bear
NBC's Late Night with Conan O'Brien website has been offering free tickets to the Conan O'Brien show. If you are thinking, "Geez, Gonzalo, isn't the Conan O'Brien show always free to attend?" Well, yes, it is. But this is special, because it's also the last few episodes of the long running show.
After 16 seasons on the air, the curtain
is coming down on Late Night with Conan O'Brien as Conan prepares to
head out to L.A. to take over The Tonight Show. Would you like to be a
member of one of Conan's last studio audiences in New York? Here's your
chance!

I grew up on Conan. In fact, Late Night with Conan O'Brien was probably one of my earliest comedic influences. "Comedic influences?" I'm not remotely famous, I'm not allowed to have comedic influences.
Whatever. The point is, I'm going to be sad to see it go. I have so many fond memories of staying up way past my bedtime to catch this show. Sure, Conan is moving to LA to take over Leno's old spot, but I'm sure the transition will bring about many changes. Are you even allowed to say "masturbating bear" before midnight? Seeing February 20, 2009 listed as the last show makes my heart cry.
P.S. I intentionally chose an older picture of Conan O'Brien, because in a perfect world, our heroes don't age or change at all.
