Conan's hanging in there

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..."

Meanwhile, The Wrap says stars are lining up to appear on The Tonight show before Conan faces the (well-paid) axe. Tom Hanks is likely in the next few days, the site says. Below, Jimmy Kimmel on Leno:
