VIDEO: Conan O'Brien Pays Tribute to Abe Vigoda with Touching Video Montage

On last night's CONAN on TBS, host Conan O'Brien paid tribute to Abe Vigoda, who passed away this week at the age of 94, with a video montage featuring the actor's many appearances on the late night talk show.  

"Abe was a huge part of our show in New York," O'Brien said. "I couldn't believe how many times Abe would come on the show and do hilarious things for us. We used to call him up and sometimes would have the idea, like, three hours beforehand. It would usually be the silliest thing. Abe would always come right over, do it. Such a lovely guy." He added, "Thank you, Abe, for all the laughter."
