Television show host Conan O'Brien on Oct. 4 paid tribute to his own house band “Jimmy Vivino and the Basic Cable Band,” which has been performing alongside the show host for 25 years, during the final hourlong episode of “Conan.”

He first began with saying there are many changes coming up that he’s “excited about,” while there’s one that makes him sad. “In January, when our show transitions to the new half-hour format, our band will not be with us. Since we began this journey 25 years ago, my band has been a daily source of joy in my life.”
