zowEEE!1 Conan's slam on LENO's last night!!!!!!!!!1

It's a "Walking Dead" theme show. After the intro about that, he said (paraphrase, fairly close: ), "NBC is starting the Olympics tonight..."

(Long pause. I was wondering why he was promoting NBC.)

"It's a really big thing for NBC..."

(Long pause. )

"Finally, somebody willing to PASS THE TORCH!1"

(Pause. Audience ooo-ing and awww-ing. ) "I ALLOWED MYSELF ONE!1"

******I'll be watching Dave. KIMMEL did a make-up/kiss-up, something about "putting aside issues, 22 yrs of being on top is a real accomplishment." There are news items previewing what goes down with LENO's buh-bye: His tearing up about having lost his parents and brother during the first three years of the Tonight gig and how the show and crew became his family, the audience being all VIP, Oprah and others singing Sound of Music farewell, Jack BLACK singing that "If FALLON tanks we'll see you back!1" boo-effing-hoo. LENO's dig at NBC, "I don't like goodbyes. NBC does."

I thought he was leading up to it: He said, "71 million people watching The Beatles here. Makes you wonder what the other networks were showing, why bother?" So a clip ran of what NBC was showing: Cigarette smoking championship.

Now doing a Joe BIDEN "Beat poet" clip. Now doing a long sequence mocking Sochi. Patrick STEWART guesting.

"Jay LENO's last night. 22 yrs, what a great run. We had him as a guest on our old show, guess how many times, (22?). If I were Jay I'd celebrate by going out and buying myself a car."

He did it without flash and dash, just flat. But he's called FALLON, our "little Jimmy FALLON" twice. Make that THREE times, "little Jimmy FALLON. He's Jimmy #2. The other Jimmy #1. Then me, I'm DAVE." "Good luck to little Jimmy FALLON!1" Make it MULTIPLE times.

3. KIMMEL is running a "Previously Recorded" cast of the Monuments Men

The opening listed all of the cast with pics of each, but the last pic with DAMON had the name "AND MORE". I don't guess BLANCHETT will discuss her Woody ALLEN movie and the fracas.
