Conan O'Brien Afterparty Filled With Irish Whiskey and Laughter



After closing out his final 'Tonight Show', Conan O'Brien traded in his suit and tie for jeans and a leather jacket as he kept the night going at an after party for his 200-plus staff and celebrity guests.

"It was definitely a laid-back Conan after the show," a party-goer, who referred to the festivities as an Irish wake, told PopEater.

The atmosphere was upbeat with staff members wearing "Team Conan" t-shirts while interns wore ones saying "I'm with CoCo." Rewarding his team's loyalty, O'Brien made sure the evening's post-show shindig was well stocked.



Along with tons of Jameson Irish whiskey at the ready, guests (which included Will Ferrell, sidekick Andy Richter and 30 Rock's Jack McBrayer) downed "loads of Ben + Jerry's ice cream and sushi."

While the ginger-haired funnyman spent time with Ferrell and his other celebrity pals, he focused on the people who had worked with him and for him daily.

"He was hanging with Ferrell for awhile but was mostly taking pictures with every single crew member," the partygoer added.

So exactly how much Jameson flowed at the 'Tonight Show' farewell? The partygoer told PopEater, "the guests drained magnums!" Now that is a proper Irish send-off.
