Welp, if you've been following the whole Late Night drama, as I have, you know that tonight was the last episode of The Tonight Show with Conan O'Brien. It's unfortunate that it had to end like this, but I'm for team CoCo and will continue to support Conan's future endeavors, as I'm sure he'll be back in no time. Anyway, if you missed out tonight, here's a final jam of "Free Bird," featuring: Conan, Max Weinberg and the Tonight Show band, Will Ferrell, Beck, Billy Gibbons, and Ben Harper.
