Conan O'Brien took his TBS late night talk show to New York this past week and he took every opportunity to do things he would never be able to do in Los Angeles.

The Los Angeles Times reported late night TV's favorite ginger celebrated the one-year anniversary of his show by helping celebrate someone else's big day.

On Friday night's episode, the comedian wed his costume designer Scott Cronic and his partner David Gorshein live on-air from the Beacon Theatre in New York.

"This is for real. We are gathered here today in this beautiful place to witness the joining of two lives," he said.

The New York Daily News reported Bravo TV's Andy Cohen, Cronick's favorite celebrity, walked him down the aisle, as friends and family watched on stage.

Cronick and Gorshein wed in a traditional Jewish ceremony that, while broadcasted to millions, was an intimate moment for the couple.

"Cameras or no cameras David, I'm here today and I am yours forever," Cronick said.

O'Brien completed the ceremony, saying, "Alright, this is it. By the power vested in me by the state of New York and the Universal Life Church Monastery, I now pronounce you husband and husband. You can kiss the groom."

Confetti filled the room and the newlyweds took their first steps as a married couple on a stuffed buffalo, riding down the stage to Kool & The Gang's "Celebration" and a roaring applause from the audience.

The last time a wedding was televised on a late night talk show was Tiny Tim and Vicki's marriage on the Tonight Show with Johnny Carons in 1969.

O'Brien's ceremony certainly was a celebration for the books! Check it out below.
