San Francisco’s annual three-day music festival once again dazzled, but this year’s highlights weren’t confined to the stage. Conan O’Brien’s presence brought an extra spark, adding to a weekend already brimming with excitement.

While accepting his place in the Television Academy’s Hall of Fame on Aug. 16, Conan O’Brien turned the spotlight on a fellow late-night veteran.
