Mentioned way back in May that Conan O’Brien was coming to the Beacon Theater to celebrate the 1st anniversary of his TBS show, and the time is finally upon us.

I thought tickets would be available for purchase, but they were given away by the the show and were, unfortunately, all gone before I ever had time to put a post up about them.

If you’re not one of the lucky few who managed to snag tickets, you can always check out the COCO MoCa (Museum Of Conan Art) at the Time Warner Center. The free exhibit runs from 9 am – 10 pm daily until Thursday (11/3). You can find additional details at Wired and New York Magazine.

Guests for this week include Jimmy Fallon, Hugh Jackman, Matthew Broderick, Paul Simon, and Louis C.K.. I’m not 100% sure what time filming is, (Update: Taping starts at 6:30) but expect commotion around the Beacon Theater for most of the week. If celebrity stalking is your thing, remember that in addition to the main entrance on Broadway (between 74th & 75th), there a rear entrance to the theater on Amsterdam as well.

In addition to the normal late-night happenings, New York Magazine is reporting that Conan will officiate a gay wedding on the show at some point during the week — he’ll be marrying a long-time staffer and his partner.
