Conan O'Brien To Officiate Gay Wedding for his 1-Year Anniv. at TBS - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

Conan O’Brien Will Officiate a Gay Wedding on his Show Next Week
10/28/11

To commemorate his one-year anniversary at TBS, Conan O'Brien is taping his late-night show "Conan" at New York's Beacon Theater next week, but that milestone won't be the only cause for celebration.

Vulture hears that O'Brien will be officiating an on-air wedding during one of those episodes, and it's the sort of marriage ceremony that couldn't have taken place back when O'Brien used to tape his show in New York: a legal wedding between two men.

Show sources are quick to caution that the potentially groundbreaking event is no mere publicity stunt, and isn't intended to make light of gay marriage — in fact, O'Brien will be marrying a longtime staffer and his partner.

If the idea of a late-night wedding sounds familiar, you may be thinking of the union between Tiny Tim and Miss Vicki on "The Tonight Show" nearly 42 years ago, a televised marriage ceremony that shattered late-night ratings records. Weddings have since been big business for morning talk shows and sweeps-week prime-time serials, but they've been surprisingly absent from the late-night landscape until now.

Still, don't expect a save-the-date card just yet: Producers are still determining which night the Conan wedding will air.

Obtaining a marriage license is not that hard at all, virtually anybody can do it over the internet.

A friend of mine got his marriage license through the internet so that he could officiate his brother's wedding.

However their birth religion, Roman Catholicism, does not recognize this marriage and they were very pissed at them when they found out about it. The State of New York recognizes it but the church doesn't.
