"If I don't see you again, have a good life!"... A wonderful drinking toast and the most thoughtful way of paying homage to the life and work of someone like Ed McMahon.
Ed McMahon was a carrier-qualified fighter pilot and instructor and a combat forward air controller in Korea whose job was to fly around in a small plane and get the enemy to shoot at him so that the fighters could attack the gun emplacement. He was more than just Carson’s sidekick.
Conan had the "TONIGHT" show so briefly (before Leno took it back) that I never saw him host it, but he and Richter are magnificent here, in tribute to the greatest Second Banana of All Time.
I was yelling HEYO!!! as a random exclamatory expression of approval for years before somebody sat me down and said "Haven't you ever watched the Tonight Show? You're stealing Ed's schtick!". Of course, I had to watch. Johnny and Ed were 1000% times funnier than anything Letterman, Leno, Kimmel or Fallon have ever produced.
I had never seen this. Conan hit just the right tone with this tribute that didn’t do something ridiculous such as overthink it or by waiting until later in the show.
Conan should still be hosting The Tonight Show. He did not deserve what happened to him.

Very noble and touching segment by Conan O'Brien. A class act.
Though I love Conan so much, none of these guys today can hold a candle to Johnny Carson. He is basically a league of himself.
Conan has the charisma that frat boy Falon lacks.

When Ed passed Johnny announced his arrival in heaven with, "Herrrrrrrrrrres Ed!"

Ed was an American staple for so many years..not a mean bone in his body!
Heeeeres Johnny!
Conan always classy when he needs to be! I love this tribute to Ed.
Lose fallon, bring back conan. He is the only host who can bring the tonight show grace back
