Here's a spoiler: If you watch Mad Men executive producer's Matthew Weiner's appearance on Thursday's Conan, you won't know how the show ends. But you'll get some clues: For example, it won't end in a plane crash, "which Lions Gate would never pay for," Weiner says, and the whole D.B. Cooper theory is probably just wishful thinking. But ostensibly because Conan O'Brien has been such a big supporter of the show, Weiner did bring a clip from the highly anticipated Mad Men finale. You can safely watch it below. The outside shot, by the way, is of the World Financial Center, built starting in 1982. The clip is "bursting with period detail," Weiner said. —Peter Weber
