Conan O’Brien, Fish Out of Water

The Masturbating Bear is forced into retirement tonight

Tonight is the last episode of “Late Night With Conan O’Brien,” before he moves to Los Angeles to take over as the host of “The Tonight Show” (while Jay Leno moves to 10 o’clock). He says that even though the earlier time slot will require him to retire some of his late-night characters like the Masturbating Bear, he’ll be able to get some fun out of being a “fish out of water” in California. Though for some reason, he’s not proud that he’ll be taping the show in a studio that once housed the original “Knight Rider.”
