NBC's 'Late Night With Conan O'Brien' on Thursday is a U2 special.

As the band arrive in New York City for seven sold out shows at Madison
Square Garden, they will spend an entire hour on O'Brien's show and are
expected to perform a bunch of songs live.

The show has never before been devoted to one act. Closest parallels include a surprise performance by Bruce Springsteen before taking "Late Night" drummer Max Weinberg on the road, a week-long stay by The White Stripes and a month-of-Tuesdays with The Strokes.

Catch U2 on 'Late Night with Conan O'Brien' on NBC this Thursday. (12:35-1:35am.)
