Conan O’Brien brought his show to Atlanta this week to coincide with the 75th Final Four. In tonight’s final episode from the city (11 p.m. ET, TBS), Conan welcomes Charles Barkley and ESPN’s Dick Vitale to the show. The musical guest is Macklemore & Ryan Lewis.
Vitale also enjoyed some time backstage with one of his boyhood heroes, Hank Aaron. Vitale tweeted he was “honored to be with these two legends (Aaron and Barkley).”
Vitale will call Final Four games this weekend for the first time in his career. He will serve as the analyst on Final Four telecasts from Atlanta, calling a semifinal and the championship for ESPN International.
Front Row will have more behind-the-scenes photos from the show on Friday.

As the face of ESPN’s college basketball for 34 years, legendary analyst Dick Vitale has had a front row seat to more than 2,000 college basketball telecasts, including many of the best and most memorable matchups.
The one event missing from his Hall of Fame resume is calling an NCAA Men’s Final Four game. That will all change this year. ESPN announced today that Vitale will work two Final Four games for ESPN International in 2013 — a semifinal and the National Championship.
ESPN hoops analyst Jay Bilas will work the other semifinal (not called by Vitale) while Brad Nessler will call play-by-play on all three telecasts. Front Row put together a video retrospective of highlights from Vitale’s career at ESPN.
