Conan O'Brien Officiates Gay Wedding On-Air: VIDEO
By Andy Towle
Last night, Conan O'Brien, as promised officiated the wedding of 'Conan' costume designer Scott Cronick and his partner David Gorshein on stage in New York City.
Last week, Conan's staffers insisted it would be a genuine moment, and, it was.
Watch, AFTER THE JUMP...
Wonderful!

Congratulations to the lucky couple!
I'm gratified to see that Conan pointed out the "two husband" factor for breaking the glasses but didn't try to make it into a joke.
Respectfully done. Having a ceremony on his show can seem like such a small thing, but it can go a long way towards showing the wider public that two men can love and want to share lives with each other just like a man and a woman can.

Congratulations to the couple!

Arden, sincere and rushed. New York.
But thanks Conan. And to the grooms long life together.

Heartiest congratulations to Scott and David!
@SPARKS: May I add to your lovely statement "two women", or for that matter, "two persons can love and want to share their lives with each other".

The first thing I saw upon waking. What a lovely start to the day. I never thought Conan O'Brien would reduce me to tears.

It was a great show, glad to be in the audience for a little slice of Conan history!

Somehow I can't imagine Jay Leno or David Letterman doing this on their show without some serious giggling, smirking and joking going on. Thanks Conan O'Brien for not turning this wedding into a homphobic comedy skit.

YEA COCO!

Congratulations to the happy couple. And I apologize to Conan for all the bitter old queens who wouldn't give him a chance. I for one had no doubt the ceremony would be both respectful and solemn, because a good comedian knows when to stop.
