With Friday night's final Late Night repeat now behind us, the Conan O'Brien era in New York is officially over. But luckily for some fans, the new Tonight Show host was not able to take everything from his old show with him. The nonprofit group Build It Green! loaded up two truckloads of props left over from Late Night this past week—many of which will be available for fans to buy. Build It Green! made it clear though that the Brian Williams cutout used for Conan's old feud with the anchor is off-limits (can you blame them?). And despite threats to retire the Masturbating Bear, something tells us that costume will make the trip to LA. One prop that won't however is the giant pickle that Conan once received from his predecessor and now rival, David Letterman. While a few people looking for trouble called out Conan for leaving Jimmy Fallon on a sour note by not paying the new host more lip service during his farewell, O'Brien did make a point to pass along the good luck cuke. Fallon and The Roots take over Late Night in a little over twenty-four hours!
