Everybody's favorite just-not-that-funnyman Dane Cook was on Conan Wednesday night, and since we're days behind in everything, we only just watched the fabulous awkwardness that was Cook on Conan. Our buddy O'Brien was quite obviously disinterested in most of what Daney boy had to say, but he did his hostly best to accommodate Cook's inane stories about heading into the wrong dressing room and also having a stupid wife who doesn't understand that a "universal remote" doesn't work from anywhere in the world. Gee, it's so hilarious when women are dumb! it's even more hilarious when you've voluntarily committed yourself to one of the dumb ones!

If someone at Bostonist isn't rooting for our boy, Conan. Andy Richter is back. Max Weinberg moved to the Left Coast. Fingers are crossed that the masturbating bear hitched a ride...

We're big Conan O'Brien fans over here: ever since Late Night ended, we've drifted, helpless and alone, searching for meaning and tasteless jokes. Luckily for us, O'Brien's back tonight with his sparkly new take on The Tonight Show!

Follow along with Bostonist as we watch the first "Tonight Show" with Conan O'Brien.

Displaying little loyalty toward Brookline-born Conan O'Brien (as opposed to New York–born Jay Leno), Globe commenters wish failure on O'Brien as he prepares to take over The Tonight Show from Leno tomorrow evening. Comments quickly escalate from assigning O'Brien "little talent" to awarding him "no talent" to calling him a "total tiurnoff [sic]" and predicting "conan will tank." Some even accuse NBC of promoting an Obama agenda through O'Brien's assignment (which was made long before the election, right down to the date of the transition).

Jay Leno presented viewers of the Tonight Show with a clear definition of class as he hosted for the final time on Friday. Leno repeatedly tried to defer the focus from himself throughout the show even when he could have made it all about him. Conan O'Brien was the guest as Leno went out of his way to pass the torch and showcase the next guy. Leno praised James Taylor's logistical gymnastics that enabled Taylor to appear with Leno. Leno closed the show by assembling the children born to Tonight Show staffers during his tenure. It was surprising and satisfying.

Tonight, after 16 years of invisible string dancing, gargantuan ginger hair, and playing peekboo with the camera, local boy Conan O’Brien takes a final bow before making the westward migration to take over Leno’s “Tonight Show.”

-- A 35-year-old man was shot this morning near Dorchester High, putting the school into lock down. The man's wounds were non-life-threatening, and no arrests have been made. [Herald]

Former Massachusetts priest David Ajemian, who blew our minds when he was arrested for stalking talk-show host Conan O'Brien, going missing in the South End, and then giving WHDH an unexpected visit, pled guilty in New York City to disorderly conduct.

--A massive fire that started in an abandoned nightclub and eventually destroyed 14 buildings in downtown Lawrence broke into the national news. In a miracle given the size of the fire, no one was hurt. However, 30 families were displaced. Authorities think the fire is suspicious. The owner, who was in the process of turning the spot into a restaurant, says he has no insurance and that someone "jealous of his success" started it. [Boston Globe, Boston Herald]

Here's the top Oddblotter story of the year--just in time for Christmas! You've already seen some impressive tales, but the winning Oddblotter story of the year is a real head-scratcher.

A kind tipster sent along an e-mail announcing a special website devoted to David, the Somerville LARPer who is currently competing on "Beauty and the Geek." Some of David's college friends have decided to give their friend a boost and find him a date. They have built the site in his honor, and they list all kinds of reasons why a woman want to meet him in person. If you are interested in a geek...

--The person who died when a BPD cruiser struck her car yesterday has been identified as Annemarie McNally, 36, of South Boston. The officer was responding to a call when he hit her car. One witness told the Herald: "I hate to talk bad about the hurt, but she was flying. The cop was behind her. I don’t know if she hit a curb or what, but the back of her car kind of lifted....

Father David Ajemian, who was arrested in New York City last week for stalking Conan O'Brien, is back in town after making bail. Once home, he promptly went missing, only to be found a few hours later. So if you thought you saw Conan O'Brien's priest-stalker around the South End, you probably did. The BPD issued a report telling people to be on the lookout (BOLO in BPD parlance) for Father Ajemian. The report notes...

The story about a Boston priest getting arrested for stalking Conan O'Brien keeps getting weirder, if that's possible. Reverend David Ajemian, 46, who attended Milton and Harvard and who was a local priest, was nabbed trying to get into an O'Brien taping. The Smoking Gun has documents that show Ajemian may be even stranger than previously thought. Letters indicate that Ajemian was mad at John McEnroe as well, and he claimed that McEnroe assaulted them...

Some stories just sound like terrible jokes. But this one is all too real. WBZ reports that a priest from Boston got arrested last Friday for stalking Conan O'Brien. Pardon us for using the words "priest" and "hell" in the same post, but, seriously, what the hell? You couldn't make that up. And the Archdiocese of Boston took its own sweet time to release the news. They waited until today to announce that Reverend David...

Now that the Red Sox have won the World Series, how are they doing with the publicity grind? We'll evaluate each one's turn on late-nite television: Manny Ramirez on Leno: Two versions of Manny Ramirez exist--the sulky one and the gleeful one who invites everyone over to his house for drinks. Gleeful Manny showed up on Leno. He chatted with Leno about cars and awkwardly hit fists with Steve Carrell. At first, it seemed like...

There's so much going on across the Ist-a-Verse that it's almost impossible to keep track these days. Fortunately, we do it so you don't have to! Londonist took a walk through Oliver Twist's London, thanks to a gorgeous map layer for Google Earth. They also caught up with modern-day fictional London, with the Fantastic Four and 28 Weeks Later. It was a week of insanity over at DCist. They started the week off with...

What do two guys from the greater Boston area talk about on late night television? Easter candy of course. Last week B.J. Novak, a Newton native and star of the office, was on Late Night with Conan O'Brien (Conan's from Brookline and is a Harvard alum.) B.J. was on Conan to promote his new movie Rain Over Me but like many late night TV interviews it took a little while to get there. They started...

Seattlest saw a house party get senselessly attacked with a shotgun and end in seven dead. A local senator is debated and their version of the big dig is investigated. To truly get to the bottom of it they interview the writer Jonathan Raban. Bostonist has its first birthday party and investigates how to attach more gambling dollars to the Red Sox. Benjamin Franklin is celebrated and Johnny Damon is not. Image by Ethan Bagley...

Bostonist has been enjoying Chris Elliott's humor ever since our parents let us stay up late one night back in the 80s and we saw him on Letterman. Elliott has continued to appear on Dave's show for years, and he went on to star in his own sitcom with his real father, Bob Elliott, on Fox back in 1990. Starring as a 30-year-old man who works as a paperboy living with his parents, Get A...
