I have been a huge fan of Conan for years. Tonight, Conan O’Brien will be doing his last performance in New York City for the “Late Night” show after 16 years of hosting. Conan will be giving his throne to incoming host Jimmy Fallon and will be moving to L.A. to take over Jay Leno’s “Tonight Show.”
With an earlier time slot, there’s plenty of changes to expect when Conan makes his debut on June 1 on the Tonight Show, such as restrictions in language and content. Unfortunately for fans of Late Night, most of Conan’s memorable characters would have to take their last performance tonight, hopefully. Can you imagine a Conan O’Brien show without these characters?

- Masturbating Bear
- Triumph the Insult Comic Dog
- The Horny Manatees
- Andy’s Little Sister Stacy
- Pierre Bernard
- The moving lips
- Robot on a toilet
- Preparation H Raymond
- Cloppy the late night horse
- The vomiting Kermit
- The Pimpbot 5000
- The evil puppy
- Frankenstein
- The fedex pope
- and many many more?
How about the memorable skits like the Walker Texas Ranger Lever, “In the year 2000…in the year 2000″ with Max Weinberg and the band, Jesus visiting the show, the skit where they show the first female President of Finland as Conan’s lookalike and the animated Pale Force?
Conan O’Brien is like a cartoon put to life.. and if more than 50% of his characters can’t be aired on the ‘Tonight Show,” they will all be missed. For all the fans out there worried about the change of the show’s direction, here’s three clips of the ‘Walker Texas Ranger Lever’ skit to keep you smiling.
