As we mentioned this weekend, the final episode of Late Night with Conan O’Brien aired Friday night and was surprisingly good.
The White Stripes even took the stage as the ultimate musical guest of the show’s history.
Now according to reports, it turns out that Friday’s show actually got Conan his best overnight ratings in two years.
It’s nice to see that after 16 years on the job, O’Brien, who originally took over back in 1993 after David Letterman left, went out with a bang!
Nielsen data shows that his last episode averaged a 2.6 overnight rating.
As for you die-hard Conan fans, no worries, you’ll catch the ginger starting June 1st when he takes over the Tonight Show.
