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...

Wow, I usually don't watch Conan, may have to this time!

Did anyone else watch this? It was the sweetest thing ever! I've never seen a wedding, and the couple looked so sincerely in love it almost made me cry.

Just one more reason why Team CoCo kicks ass.

Conan always struck me as the most supportive of the late-night hosts - not that Leno or Letterman or anybody else is not supportive - Conan just seems more genuine to me because I've seen him get behind causes and campaigns and such.

O'Brian's amazing.

I love Coco! I watched it at my grandma's, but unfortunately I didn't get to see much of it between her asking me questions constantly. Which is disappointing cause I was really looking forward to hearing some of her olde timey homophobic reactions.
