His last 'Tonight Show' may be Jan. 22, but Conan O'Brien had it rocking in last night's monologue. He got in a few zingers at Jay Leno and NBC, including the apt retort to rumors that the network wants to keep him off the air for years. "If NBC doesn't want people to see me, just leave me on NBC..."
