Live from the Dolby-Mucinex Theater, Conan O'Brien presents "The Simpsons Series Finale", announcing FOX had decided to end the show. Conan mentions how FOX has been trying to end it for years, starting of with "Simpsons Roasting on an Open Fire", saying the viewers said that it wasn't as funny as it used to be, showing their messages on social media, forums, Twitter, faxes and postcards.

He mentions they decided to end the series in 1990, and shows a never-before-seen clip in "Bart the Daredevil", where Homer gets killed by the skateboard at the bottom of Springfield Gorge and the hearse carrying his coffin hitting a tree, making it fall down the Gorge. Conan then shows Rupert Murdock's deal for Bart's Thanksgiving balloon in the 1990's Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade, saying they had to make new episodes to amortize the cost.

Next he shows another alternate scene conceived as season finale, this time from "Little Big Mom", where the tree slices Homer in half and starts bleeding, with Stupid Sexy Flanders passing by saying "Nothing at all!", and "King-Size Homer", where Homer's pressure causes him to get expelled and propeled up, hit a Duff Blimp which falls into the cooling towers and create a nuclear explosion that wipes the city.
