Just because Conan O'Brien is moving on to take Jay Leno's place at the Tonight Show doesn't mean that all is lost. Conan die-hards can own a piece of the set and even some of the props now that the show has donated it all to New York City non-profit group Built It Green!
A Queens nonprofit agency is selling memorabilia from the set of O'Brien's "Late Night" NBC program, including backdrops, carpet and various props used on-air, the New York Daily News reported. Astoria-based Build it Green! toted truckloads of junk from O'Brien's set at 30 Rockefeller Plaza when he left the show last week to take over Jay Leno's spot on "The Tonight Show" in Los Angeles.

Build It Green! has been around since 1994 and you can read more about them at bignyc.org. We think it's great that the show is giving some love to the environment and a local non-profit. It's a win-win for all!
