Conan O’Brien’s days as host of NBC’s The Tonight Show<\/em> are numbered, and it looks like “Mandy” crooner Barry Manilow will be the host’s final guest on Jan. 22.<\/p>\n

“It’s a perfect fit for Barry, who was once Bette Midler’s piano player, to be the one to say goodbye to Conan,”<\/em> a network insider told PopEater.com<\/a> Friday. “Bette was the late great Johnny Carson’s final guest and now Barry will be Conan’s … if his final date holds.”<\/em><\/p>\n

Manilow is expected to perform a song from his new album, The Greatest Love Songs of All Time<\/em>, but the final spot of the night will be Manilow, the band, staff, crew and audience all singing what might be the most appropriate song ever: “Can’t Smile Without You,”<\/em> the site says.<\/p>\n

According to a person familiar with the negotiations, next Friday, Conan will leave NBC after 16 years and free Jay Leno to reclaim the long-running late night show he hosted for 17 years.<\/p>\n
